! PURE ICE,

Pure ice is no longer a luxury;
1T has become an every day neces-
city in almost every home. Its
refreshing powers are untquaIed.
Mr.. Victor Erath, the veteran Ice
manufacturer Of this city, has
made q life work Of his calling
and has spared neither effort nor
expense to maintain the highest
possible standard OF quality IN the
products Of his factory, by adopt
ing such methods as have the un-
i qualtied sanction of the best
known health authorities, Of both
a., this State and the United States.
In the beginning Of the history
of the New Iberia Ice Il BOttling
Works its water supply was drawn
from heTeche. This water was boil
ed, condensed, and filtered before
it entered the freezing tank.
This process probably resulted ID
pure ice. Analysis and the claims
of scientists 40 maintained. But
as the Teche became more and
more polluted, Mr.. Erath deter
mined 10 seek elsew here for his
water supply. A well, four inches
in diameter, was drilled to depth
Of nearly 200 feet, resulting in d
steady flow Of beautiful clear wa
ter. Three other wells were sub
sequently drilled and al air lift
finally installed. All of this ex
pense was readily incurred in the
effort to maintain the highest
standard Of unquestiOned purity.
All of this was done before Boar DIS
of Health concerned themselves
with the enforcement Of Pure
Food Laws
Considering the above facts,
and without solicitation, We take
pleasure in publishing the follow

MARKET TRUCKS

The new trucks for the Contra
Market were put to service on last
Sunday morning. They are par,
Of the State Health Boards regu
la'ions, becoming necessary when
the market vendors were not Der.
United to drive their wagons into
the building for the purpose OF
unloading at their respective stalls.
There was some complaint at
first on the part Of those who had
to use the trucks. claiming that
they might have been made more
conveDiept. The wheels should
have Eren of greater diameter.
which would have made them roll
easier when loaded. Had they
been made higher 1t would have
made the loading at the wagons
and unloading at the stalls easier
and more convenient.
Perhaps the greatest trouble ia
the upsetiing of old customs.
which are about as old as the
town. When the new regulations
will have been in operation long
enough to demonstrate the advan,
tages thereof it is hoped that the
few disadvantages or lnconveni
ences, not 80 apparent, will be lost
sight of, and that the purposes of
the new system will be fully ap
preciated. A cleaner market ia
certainly a very desirable thing
and should compensate the endur.
ance of few Inconvenience. As
experience will demonstrate the
need of improvements in the sys.
