till August 10. was granted in order,
either that the divorce be secured or

THEY ARE ALKALINE
Practically All Natural Waters in
Southern California Contain
Considerable Amounts of I'm
healthful Mineral Matter

Doubtless you have noticed the slightly
''brackish" taste OF the city water when
you use it for drinking purposes.
You will notice the same sort of thing in
the drinking water almost everywhere you
go In Southern California. Indeed. in some
cases the water is so "brackish" that you
can hardly drink it.
This is due to the mineral matter con-
tanned In the water At some Ooint in Its
flow 1t passes through soil that is impreg-
mated with alkaIi. This becomes dissolved in
the water-and hence Its "brAckish" taste.
No mechanical device rids water thus
mineralized OF its impurities The minerals
are entirely dissolved in the water and be-
come part of it. Only by changing the
nature of the water by chemical process can
you eliminate the salts in it,
Minerals in solution cannot be assimilated
by the human body. They become deposited
in the arteries, a fertile cause of rheumatic
and kidney troubles
You should drink pure, SOFT water And
the only reliably pure soft water obtain
able hereabou is Puritas Distilled Water
In the distillation Of Puritas we turn it
into steam twice. Whatever foreign elements
there may have been IN the water originally
are deposited as solids in the boiler. The
pure part Of the water-that is. the steam
is re-condensed into water-PURE water.
Our long experience has taught us that two
distillations are necessary for the produo-
tion of absolutely pure water.
The sparkle in Puritas is due to its thor
ough aeration. This is accomplished by pass
ing a current of electricity through altered
air-which produces ozone-and this ozone
is forced into the water, as much as 1t viii
take up.
Our care In bottling Puritas insures its
reaching you with all its wholesome purity
intact.
Puritas is most inexpensiye--5 gallons
cost but 40c. delivered within the old city
boundary lines. At outside points the cost
is a little more. owing to the long haul
Regular Puritas customers purchase coupon
books, thus securing the pure water at
discount. When you telephone ask US about
these.
II you want pure. wholesome beverages
order Puritas sodas. These are sold wher-
ever there are good things to drink. II
you want them in your home telephone u.s.

imperative in the near future, any
way: so the addition would only
