The Great Lakes To Furnish Drink

For Millions Upon Millions of the People

Dr. Hinsdale's Prediction--He Also Expresses a Decided Opinion on House Flies

Dr. W. B. Hinsdale spoke on the Health of People before the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday night.

He made an original prediction when he stated that the Great Lakes would ultimately furnish the drinking water for all the people of the United States north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi. The basis of this belief was the fact that most of the diseases are transmitted not by air or touch but by water, and that the Great Lakes cannot be polluted like the wells or small lakes.

He spoke of advancement of science in raising the average age of longevity, largely by preserving child life. Lives of the children of degenerates are now saved and present further problems in heredity for scientists to grapple with. 

Dr. Hinsdale is no friend of the common house fly, which, he says, spreads disease more than does the mosquito. "Flies walk with their feet," said he, "in every sort of vile substance, and then come in the parlor, dining room, sugar, cream or food."

Dr. Hinsdale said that the water in Ann Arbor was reasonably safe, he thought, and better than is supplied to most cities.
