PURE WATER,

We lived once in a city where the
Dutch seemed to get control or on the
ohnd SIDE OF the law-making power.
and with an eye to business, beer-mak.
ing, the innocent pumps of the cit,
which seemed 10 be a perpetual eve,
sore and hinderance TO the down-aow
OF beer, were filed up. With hearts
full OF sympathy for reckless water.
drinkers, and full themselves to the
neck with the effervescing properties
OF beer, the thing to be done was to
do away with the pump nuisance in
order to preserve the health of the
more reckless who would ACTUALLY
drink water in summer time in pre-.
ference to beer, swallowing the imper-
ceptible microbes and animalculi at
every gulp with the indifference of so
many monomaniacs bent upon keep.

lied or not. And though the well-water
was actually the purest in the city, the
wells were punctually filled up by regal
order and royal command in the inter.
est OF those selling beer and soda water.
Only this and nothing more. As for
the water furnished from reservoirs, the
only source of supply after the wells
were filed up, an epicure could never
tell which it tasted most of as between
decaylng fish or imprisoned frogs and
tadpoles. Right next to pure morals
we say give us pure water. Nothing
more justldes the use of intoxicants
than impure water, and the Dutch
know it, and SO ought Americans.

EDITOR OF The COLUMBIAN:

EDITOR OF THE COLUMBIAN:
The article that appeared in the
Bloomsburg Daily last Monday in re-
gard to the colored element of this
place, it is very true that there is a
lowly, degraded set of colored people
in this place that makes it hard for a
better class that tries to take a step
higher in this world toward progress.
Now, the class that participated in
that ungodly affair Friday night is
among the lowest. Wake up you
brethren and sisters, and make men
and women out of yourselves. 1t isn't
the color that makes the person it is
Principle. Don't get trashy because
you are black.

Permanent disability the doctors say,

A large number of copies Of "The

that the trouble of cutting out the

the work. To such we say that they
can get the portfolios at this Office at
any time when they are in town, as
they want them, one or more at a

Regular subscribers need not bring

was quite neat and appropriate both
for male and female participants. To
note the ever changing style of bear

writer quite as entertaining as the
lively ball throwing at the close of the
exercises, which was certainly the
most exciting part of the program.
Ball games being in no wise free from

the little theft or the thought of it
that actuated the child, no one can

he fully recognized, was gentleman
