Pure Water as a Poison.

This is the startling proposition
put forward by DR.. Hoppe in all in
tcresting article in the Deutsche
Mediclnische Wochenschrift 1898,
No 80, from which we abstract the
following: See the Philadelphia
Record OF Sunday, October %, 1899.
1t is said that the Dutch) Germans
are the best educated people on the
face OF this earth. Such being the
case. DR.. Koppe's opinion should be
read with interest by our people.
The water from springs. wells and
streams is not chemically pure. l
take it that pure water, air, milk,
cream and. in tact, all that we eat
is not chemically pure, and If they
we're such, would not be good food.
Now, ii we use these things as they
come 10 MS by our great Gre ator, we
will find them good and healthy. 1t
is the negligence of man, who makes
dirt and does not destroy it. This

Many New Cars Ordered.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is
putting torth every effort to meet
the extraordinary demands made
upon its transportation department
by reason of the immense traffic
being moved over the entire coun-
try. To increase its transportation
facilities orders were placed ycsterz
day for $500 more cars. Of this
number 400 are box cars TO be used
on the lines east of Plttsburg aid
Erie. and til. other 1900 are coal
cars ofthc &c. NJ" type, for use on
the company's Western lines. The
order for these cars was divided
between the American Car and
Foundry Company and the Pullman
Palace Car Company, and they
are to be ready tor delivery within
four months.
Beside this large order the COM
pany proposes to build all the cars
possible at its Altoona shops. 1t
is not intended to increase the
present force at those shops, but as
much OF the car repair work as
possible will be concentrated at the
company's. shops in this city,
Harrisburg aud other points, so as
to relieve as much as possible the
shops at Altoona Of repair work.
