SHOULD STOP THE PRACTICE
Claim An Ice Man or Employe Used
Water From Trough to Wash Ice.

A gentleman last week saw an ice
man, or an employe using water from
one of the public water troughs of the
city to wash his ice before delivering
it. In spite of the remonstrances of
the gentleman, the ice man took sew
eral pals full and washed the ice with
it, laughing at the protest of the man
who was speaking to him.
One popularity of CHAMBERS is that
the discharge is heavier than water
and goes to the bottom. of the vessel
If a glandered horse drinks out of the
public trough, the discharge from his
mouth and nostrils does not flow off
with the surplus water, but sinks to
the bottom of the basin, and when a
person dips water out with pail, the
germs are stirred up and some get
into the pail. If infected water was
used to wash ice, it would be danger
GUS to use the ice, as CHAMBERS can be
communicated to man. Therefore the
gentleman seems to have been right in
expostulating with the ice man or his
employee. This is serious matter,
and vendors of ice cannot be too care
full, OF the product. to keep it from
becoming infected. Doubtless. most of
the vendors of ice are very careful
To be perfectly safe, the user of ice
should never let it come in contact
with any food to be eaten or water or
other thing to be drunk

SAYS SHE HEARD FOOTSTEPS
Mrs. Carl F. Hacker Thought An In
truder Was in the House.

While Mrs. Carl +. Hacker, residing
at 323 Hickory street, was preparing
to retire. between 10 and 1890 o'clock
last night, she thought that she heard
footsteps in the dining room below,
and became quite hystericaL She was
alone in the house, her husband being
at Westbrook, and she ran out of doors
with bath robe around her, and
called for help. s. X. Fowler heard
the calls and jumped out of bed, threw
on q dressing gown, and fastened to
the assistance of Mrs. Hacker. Chief
Pond arrived at about the same time,
having been summoned from his office.
The two gentlemen made a thorough
search of the house. but found no one.
or any trace of anyone.
Mrs. Hacker states that she locked
all of the doors, unless it was the one
out of the dining room, and that the
screen door was hooked OH the inside.
She believes that some one unlocked
this door with piece of wire and
came in. One drawer of the sideboard
was opened, holding linen, but nothing
was disturbed. Mrs. Hacker states that
burned matches and dirt were swept
up from the floor.
Mrs. Hacker was in very nervous
condition today.

GOOD WORDS FOR FAT MEN
No Criminals Found Among Them
They Are Not Dyspeptics.

Boston. Mass, September l4.-"Be
fat and you'll be happy says W. d.
Quimby, president of the Fat Mems
club of New England. although | am
not much of historian, | can assure
YOU the history of fat men will point
out Il good many facts that would
startle the people at large and the i'll
surance companies in particular.
"You never find fat bad man. Did
YOU ever hear of real fat man COM
nit ting crime? OF course YOU didn't.
for they never do it. Crimes as Il
rule. are committed by men weighing
between llS and l4S. Very few Grim
inals weigh over 1870. and crime by
men weighing over 200 is practically
unknown.
"Iou never see Il fat man drunk.
They don't get drunk. The reason is
not that they can hold more liquor
they have no unnatural craving for it.
And right here lies the fundamental
difference between the two. The fat
man digests 80 per cent OF his food.
The thin man has difficulty in digest
ing more than 80 per cent. Dyspepsia
is. to be found among thin men, not
fat"
