DANGER IN THE CUP
Efforts to Abolish the Common
Drinking Vessel.
Illinois Follows Kansas In Legislation
Effecting Use of the public Cup

Fountain.

Springfield, Ill.-Illinois has fol.
lowed Kansas In legislation to effect
the abolition Of the common drinking
cup. Death Turks In It. tuberculosis,
diphtheria and othe. deadly seases
are distributed by 1t.
There is no question whatever
about these facts, which may be said
briefly to summarize the results of a

in railroad trains, railroad stations
and other public places In that state.
Their use In the public schools is no
longer to be permitted. And now ILL
nois has followed with similar regula-
TONS 1t is expected that before long
this movement will become nation
wide.

satisfactorily solved by the paper cups
for Individual use which are sold by
slot machines in many public places

one perceives that such cups as these
are Of small practical use for every
day folk; they are luxury for the
rich. Only the well-to-do can afford
to pay penny for drink of water.
The problem Of the drinking cup in
its relation to health is much more diff
fcult and much more important than
most people imagine. Recent investis
cations of the subject by the Kansas
