Public Drinking Cup Danger

The question OF supplying indi-
vidual drinking cups in public
places is receiving good deal OF
consideration from medical men at
present. In this connection the ln-
ternational Journal of Surgery says:
1T is said that at one of our COL
leges, in 1907, the graduating class
of eighty young ladies at a final
gathering all drank from one loving
cup; among them was a girl who
had recently had diphtheria. Re-
ports are said to show that after the
young ladies had gone to their
homes large number OF them were
affected with some sort OF throat
trouble.
las result OF drinking from the
chained cup in a large New York
department store last winter, sew
eral clerks were inoculated, and it
is said that the store has now in
stalled small automatic vendors oil
individual paper parafine cups.
Realizing the danger in the use
OF the public drinking cup, the man.

Railway Company has recently in
stalled in each OF the coaches en-
ployed in its service devices from
which individual drinking cups
may be secured by ali psssepges on
