that much! In Virginia the State
Board OF Insurance pays but $3.50 on

there are no water works. and i'm places
with works the whole is paid. This is
easily unprecedented In other States
and places the same principle is an

towns above mentioned, except il be

United States between 300 and 400
towns of less than 1900 population.
which have water works. Our VhOip
people will take water into their
houses like other people, when they
appreciate its convenience. Another
and more potent reason, they will take
pure water away from the contami-

water IS pure, wholesome and healthy.
