TRYING NEW JAG CURE
Four or Five Glasses Of Water
in Rapid Succession

WATERLOO, Iowa, Feb. a.
The city officers of Waterloo are
greatly interested in any method Or
means by which the craving for IL
quor may be eradicated from the ha-
bitual drunkards who spend a large
part of their time in jail. While
some of the cities in Indiana are agi-
tating the plan of adopting a NUM-
cipal jag cure, the Waterloo officers
have adopted an inexpensive and
harmless scheme TO prevent intoXica-
ton on the part Of the seasoned
drunkards It is very simple-only
pure, cold water. When the officers
find man bowling up" they lead
him kindly but persistently TO the
town pump. There he is obliged to
irrigate his internal machinery with
three, four or five glasses OF water
If he rebels, he is held and the aqua
pura is poured down his throat. Most
patients will drink three Of four
glasses, and are then ready to go
home and be good. The water has a
wonderfully SOLDERING effect upon
them. The officers Say that their
plan has much to commend it that the
others do net possess. For instance,
it is harmless and cheap and effec-
tive.
