Drink Plenty of
Pure Water
PURE WATER IS JUST AS ESSENTIAL
TO HEALTH AS PURE FOOD.
JUST ONE RELIABLY PURE DRINKING
WATER OBTAINABLE IN THIS VI
CINITY. THAT is PURlTAS
DISTILLED WATER.

If you are careful to cat pure, whole
some food you are taking wise pre-
caution.
But what is the use of this care un-
less you are equally careful to secure
drinking water that is pure and whole
some?
Impurities Turk in drinking water,
Just as they do in foods. Impure
drinking water causes sickness and
disease, just as impure food causes it.
Drink Puritas Distilled Wster---it is
absolutely pure and wholesome. IN
deed, Puritas is the only reliably pure
drinking water obtainable in this vi
cinity.
Our city water contains considerable
amounts of minerals. These are harm
full If the city water is used regularly
for drinking purposes. They become
deposited in the arteries of the body,
are a fertile cause of rheumatic and
kidney troubles.
These minerals are entirely dissolved
in the water and cannot be separated
from 1t by any mechanical means. The
water looks clear and sparkfing-its
mineral impurities are not visible to
the eye. But clearness is no test of
the purity of the water. Careful analy-
sis shows that it is alkaline.
Puritas Distilled Water contains no
minerals, no impurities of any char
acter whatsoever. 1t is twice distilled,
1t is aerated with pure ozone, it is bot
tied so carefully that it reaches you
pure-and will remain pure. if the
demiJohn is carefully corked when not
in use, until the last glassful of Puri-
tas has been consumed.
Puritas is sparkling and refreshing
as well as wholesome and healthful.
The thorough aeration we give it
makes 1t a most satisfactory drinking
water to the taste.
Puritas is inexpensive-five gallons
cost but Acc. Just telephone US, Elk

see that you are supplied promptly.

Harry exercises his imagination on q
wealthy Hebrew and the old gentle
mans daughter. The girl, personated
by Miss Libby Blondelle, believes the

est man in the world" and obedient TO
the request of her father that she be-
come the wife of a wealthy man, IS
about to marry the prevarfcator How
ever, an expose of his classifying pro-
pensities is brought about, and she is
prevented from making the mistake or
tying herself to him for life. Aubrey
Carr will be seen as the Eminent DR..
Pest, his song of that title being one
of the musical hits of the show. Max
Bloom, cast as the invalid and wealthy
Jew, las a part to his liking, which
should provide ample amusement.

presented through the week, with II
special matinee New Years day in ad-
dition to matinees Wednesday and

The play of Robert Emmett" is
familiar to most theatergoers and to
all Irishmen. It's central figure is the
young Irish patriot who headed the
uprising of 1903 and who was publicly
executed in Dublin for his treason
to the British crown. The drama,
however, defies history in this regard.
In the play Emmett, with his sweet

Water Power in Appalachians.

The greatest development OF water
power that has ever taken place, IN the
United States has been accomplished the
last few wears in rivers which drain the
southern Appalachian mountains, accord
inc to an official report on the water re,
sonrces of this region. 1t is estimated
that there is at least 100000 indicated
horse power developed by the streams
which have their head waters on TINS
watershed and more than half OF this IN
dicated power is available for economic
ONLY a small part Of this has been made
use Of but the portion that has been
utilized has been one of the most lmpor-
tant factors in the recent industrial de- e
yelopment of the South. One great dlffl-
Guilty encountered by the users OF wafer
mower is the fact that it cannot be de-
handed mon the wear round but must be
Ssnnnlemented each summer by costly fuel
mower because of low water. The low
water periods are growing longer. This
is because the forests at the headWaters
of the streams are being cut OIL, 1t IS
claimed, with the result that the melt
ing winter SHOWS and the spring rams
pour off the denuded and hardened land
in devastating floods. =,
TT indiscriminate cutting of the forests
on the crests of the water shed can be
stonped the development of power, &C,
cording to experts, may be increased
from three to thirty times. the l,4OO,0OO
horse power at present available. :,
Even with 100000 horse power, the
annual return at $40 per horse power per
wear would amount to S2S,OOO,OOO, equal
to a gross income of per cent on CAPT.
tai of about 1898, 900, 900.
