Aged Ice Regarded Safe for Health

One Philadelphia natural Ice dealer
said recently: Natural ice is cut in

Seventy per cent. of it is used between
June and September. when it is any
where from sixteen to twenty weeks
old, and when the bacteria are frozen
in it, and have been without air, mo-

five months"
A paper recently sent out with the
Endorsement of the national body OF
natural ice dealers says:
The buyer Of ice should really be
as anxious to obtain, and the dealer In
natural ice as quick to advertise, that
he sells old ice, as the green grocer

! Association of America, including
dealers in natural ice in Philadelphia,
has begun campaign of education
to inform the public that aged ice is

Bacteria are the little wigglers in

liberia and other diseases. A quart of
water contains a million or two OF

Home for Drunkards' Wives Is Closed

Peter w. Goebel president of the
board of directors of the Associated
Charities, admits that the home is
failure as far as being place for the
housing of drunkards' wives
That is the distressing condition
that exists" Mr.. Goebel said There
is no use in denying it, We cannot
find drunkards' wives to live there
Mrs. Nation has asked that we re-
turn the home to her. The members
of the board of directors differ as to
whether or not this should be done.
She has agreed to pay us for what re-
pairs and improvements have been
made at the home and al present the
association needs the money that
would be thus received for other
branches Of work At our next meet
ing we will finally determine what
stand to take concerning holding or
