pure water. Nothing could bel farther
from the real truth, for filters only rel
move particles In suspension, and not tho
dissolved minerals, salts, organic matter
and disease germs. Read what the Chr
cago Record says about filters:
1.-THE fact that a filter makes murky
water look clear, is no guarantee that
this clear water does not contain disease
germs. All filters produce water clear to
the eye, and if this is the criterion to go
by, one filter is as good as another.
"Distillation Is the only method of maxi
ing water pure, viz: free from both or
ganic and inorganic matter."-Chfcagq
Record, June 21, 1897.

entitled "Micro-Organism in Water" re-

filter, says:
Numerous and elaborate investiga-
tions as to the efficiency Of this filter have
since been made by various bacteriolo-
gists, with the result that although in the
first instance 1t is found to yield germ
free water, it loses the power after being
in action short time"
There are also many people who have
the equally erroneous idea that boiling
water purif1es it. If this were true the
problem the government has to solve
would be very easy-each soldier could
boil his drinking water-and the erection
of a costly distilling plant on the SOUTH
ern coast would be entirely unnecessary.
So 1t would seem If one wants to be on
the safe side that distilled water is the
only really safe water to drink. A great
deal of distilled water known as Puritas
is sold here in Los Angeles and the de-
mand for it is growing one, as people
are finding out its true merit. The Ice
and Cold Storage company. d1stillers or

water they use comes originally from deep

in every way equal to thegovernment wa

great care and cleanliness in the entire

Pure Water for Troops in Cuba

The war department is having built a
number of steel tanks in which water will
be conveyed to Cuban ports. This measure
is adopted with the object in view Of
avoiding the contamination Of the water
supplied in Cuba, and it is intended to
provide fresh and pure water for the in
vading army. The base of supplies for
drinking water will be Key West, where
the navy department is building large
distilling plant capable Of producing 75,-
900 gallons per day. The water will be
taken to Cuba in water boats, and will be
distributed to the troops as long as they
are in convenient proximity to the coast.
One of the most serious problems Of the
campaign in Cuba will be the furnishing
Of drinking water to the troops. Such a
condition has not confronted the military
supply authorities of any army. The eli
matte conditions of Cuba during the sum-
mer, however, are such as to present
many serious problems to the medical
and subsistence departments The great
est care must be exercised in preserving
the health of officers and men.
Not only has the government prepared
to supply the invading Cuban army with
distilled water, but Is now negotiating for
the purchase of distilling plants for the
new cruisers and battleships.

is composed Of men Of the highest at

Fake Magazine Enterprise


We fear that the Cosmopolitan magazine
has started out upon a venture that Is un-
safe. If not unworthy of It. With the May
number he begins the publication of an al
legged autobiography of Napoleon Bona
parte. The impression is given that the
manuscript was secretly sent to America
in 1917, but some how has failed to
become publicity a series of mischances
held in obscurity for eighty-one years.
The New York Evening Post prints a
letter, from which we take the following,
which puts the ma gazine editor in an un-
comfortable position:
