Boil Your WATER-Doctor Cluness,
Nichols and Bruno, at the meeting of the
Clty Doaru Oh Health Monday evening, said
that 1t was an undisputed fact that at the
present time the water in the Sacramento

recommend all persons who cannot get
Blue Canyon, mountain or artesian water,
to boil that coming from hydrants before
they use it. The water is bad. has nau
seating taste, and actually smells. This
apparently is good time for those who
have clear water schemes to push them.
