In the progress of sanitary science,
and its application to the preservation OF
life and health, one thing that is now
being done is to use clean paper drink
ing cups at public fountains. Each in
dividual takes fresh cup, which is then
thrown away, so that no germs may be
transmitted from one mouth to another.
1t is fair to assume that these cups are
known to be all right for this use. 1t is
conceivable to the lay mind that there
might be a possible source of danger
even in clean paper if not properly treat
ed. The water of a river is used in max
ing paper, and however pure it may be
to start with, when il comes back into
the stream below the paper mill it car
ries with it more or less matter not bene-
fetal to health. Farther down the
stream the water runs through other
paper mills, and naturally, the farther it
goes the worse it gets. 1t is easy to see
that clean paper cups might contain
something which would injure their
usefulness as drinking vessels under
some conditions.
