Very seldom does trade move along as briskly
and with as few changes In values as at the
present time. In many lines there is still a
hardening tendency to prices. which is most no.

Seasons Largest Iceberg.

From the Philadelphia Press
If the British tank steamship Duffield
Capt. Lowe. which arrived here recently. in
ballast from Shields had come direct from
the arctic regions she could not have on
countered a more terrific passage than the
one she has just completed. She ran into
STOW nj hail storms ana met with very
thick fngs. one iceberg she passed was the
largest ever reported adrift in the north
Atlantic.
on May 1. in latitude ~, longitude Jn2L
there appeared dead ahead on the horizon
what seemed II he most peculiarly form
ed cloud. but as IN, vessel drew nearer this
object revealed Itself in the light Of an ice
berg of tremendous proportions From the
time the berg was first sighted until u
was bought abeam. the ship had covered
the distance Of twenty miles. ana when
this is considered together with the fact
that the weather was very hazE- the true
proportions Of the huge ice island may be
imagined
The sight presented as the ship APP
preached this great glacial formation was
one of grandeur. The seas were breaking
wildly over it, dashins the spray for miles
TO lecward. In the vicinity Of the berg
the atmosphere was very cold. and from
the time it was first seen urti lost to sighI
over three hours had passed.

Origin of Book Beer.

From the Pittsburg News
1t is possible that the number of per-
sons in this city who know whence book
beer derives its name can be counted on
the fingers of one hand. ASK almost anv
one, whether a brewer or saloonkeeper.
and the chances are that none will know
how that kind of beer, which is put on tap
generally in the spring, got its name
Many are the stories that have been
told as to its origin, and all seem more
or less probable, but very likely the follow
ing story, translated from "Bibliothek der
Undertaking. ind Wissenschaft." will he
new to many and of interest to everybody
The story is as follows:
Macmillan of Bavaria, the first elector,
consulted an English physician regarding
her some buckingham double (strong)
beer" After importing some several times
at great expense, Macmillan decided to
send the court brewer to Buckingham to
become familiar with the production and
manipulations of said uneXcelled brew.
Upon the brewers return to Munich the
Buckingham beer Chen abbreviated IN
name to buck later book, beer) was hence
forth brewed there, and was for the first
time served at the electoral familys table
on MaXmilfans day, October Il, 1928
At first only used medicinal potion,
1t soon became generally introduced as a
pure food and ordered to be brewed here
after two weeks before and two weeks
after Corpus Christi day.

DEATH IN BAD WATER.
Facts That Go to show That Purity il
Imperative.
From the Sanitarian.

FROM the Sanitarian
In the case of the water-borne bacteria,
as those producing typhoid and malarial
fevers cholera and diarrhoeal diseases the
most common means of distribution has
been the drinking water. A great many
proofs of this have been found which can
not be reviewed here. But a few other
means Of bringing these into our food and
drink have been traced out. Thus pol
luted water used in washing milk cans
without charging actual dilution) has been
known to spread this disease TO all the GUS
toners of the dairy following the practice.
Since these sources are now commonly ac-
cepted as those from which typhoid fever
arises, we need not dwell uron them here.
The proofs, however, are numerous and in
disputable. and are universally accepted by
all who have examined into the matter.
That malaral diseases. including ague
and intermittent fevers, are to be traced
directly TO the drinking water is not so
generally accepted. That this Is true, how
ever. has now been fully established and
we will cite single case which alone is
sufficient to prove the claim. At Browns
vile, Tex. on the Rio Grande, is United
States military post, which takes its water
from the Rio Grande. 1t is also surround
ed by what are commonly accepted as the
most typical malarial conditions such as
swamps and stagnant lagoons. Up to 1890
tue Hospital FtCoiu VI liiiS post Was by lar
the worst in the country in the matter of
malarial diseases. The medical report for
this station in 1890 gave .76 hospital ad-
missions per thousand of strength. and this
was normal number for the post.
In the following year an ice plant was in
stalled TO serve the post, and incidentally a
condenser coil was added to obtain distill-
ed water for drinking purposes. A year
later this water was found SO beneficial
that 1t was at once supplied to the entire
post for drinking and for all culinary pur-
poses. In the following year the hospital
admissions for malarial diseases fell to less
than l per cent of what they had been reg
ularly during the entire life of the post.
