The best protection
against the minor an
noyances of travel, chief
among which are wind,
dust and extremely hard
water, is a half cake of
Ivory soap in your toilet
case.
For a long trip by rail
or boat, it is almost in
dispensable. Used fire.
quently and literally, it
will go far towards NIT
igating the discomforts
of the journey.

COLD THIS TIME
DELAYS NEW WATER

Filtered water promised for Christ
mas Day and later for probably New
Years Day, is not expected TO mater
ialize tomorrow. The trouble this
time is due to the cold weather.
President Shaw. Of the Water De-
partment said today that five beds

ready to turn into the city mains but
the board had decided TO wait until
all beds are in proper working order
before turning the water on.
