NATURAL ICE IS
FREE OF GERMS

The first warm days Of spring al
ways bring hurried demands from
householders for that great necessity
of town and city life, ice. The local
ice men are prepared to supply all
orders. As to the quality, as that is
particularly interesting to the heads
of households where ice is used free
ly in drinking water it is a satisfac-
ton to the dealers in natural ice to
be able to assure the public on the
very highest authorities in public
health and scientific circles in this
country that there is no danger pos
sible from the use of their ice for
all domestic purposes. For instance,
IN a recent address, DIR. H. W. Hill
Of the Minnesota state board of
health said that after investigating
thousands of epidemics of typhoid
fever and dysentery, he had entirely
eliminated natural ice as a source
Of disease, for he had never found
a single case traceable TO the use
Of natural ice as a factor in causing
disease and devotes his time TO other
possible causes.
And DR.. ". T. Sedwick OF the
ogy, at Boston. Americas leading
sanitarian, in a lecture last fall de-
clared he had long used natural ice
in drinking water for his own family,
being convinced il could not cause
any disease. but that on the con-
trary iced water as a drink in hts
opinion is a gentle and effective slim
ulant of high value in combating the
physical exhaustian cccasioned by
torrfd weather He also said of nat
ursl ice that taken by and large
it is one OF the purest food mater
falls OF our time"
These opinions are backed by the
results OF recent Investigations of
the effect OF freezing on bacteria
which may be present in water. DR..
z. o. Jordan. professor of bacteriol-
ogy in Chicago university. in sum-
ming up the question, says: THE
great majority OF typhoid baciIn per-
fish within a short time. All investi-
gators are now agreed that three
weeks after freezing less than ] per
cent and probably less thar one-haIf
OF one per cent, remain alive" None
OF the natural ice offered the public
now has been stored for less than
four and most of II has been stored
for six TO eight weeks, when accord
ing 10 Dr. Eugene II. Porter, health
commissioner of New York state, the
last bacteria is dead and the ice
practically sterile.
The conclusions of these eminent
men that natural ice is not a pos
sible source of danger to public
health is OF vital interest TO the peo-
pie in this community where owing
to our long warm summers with
many intensely hot spells, the fear
of using natural ice freely in water,
tea and other iced drinks, would
cause needless discomfort, If not &C
tual suffering TO thousands of people.
