at the time took them up. Two
were ordinary tin cups, which are
the usual type of public drinking cup,
and two were of enameled ware,
which is more slightly, if not more
hygenic.
Cup number one was taken from a
day coach of tain LOG on the 500.
In the cup were placed twenty @. G.
Of sterile water, and the inside of
tie cup washed with small sterile
swab as we'll as could be by such i'm
swab as we'll as could be by such i'm
perfect means. From this wash
water sugar plates were innoculated
andgrown at room temperature tor
seventy-two hours. From these We
estimated that there were $4,000, 900
bacteria washed from the inside Of
this cup, and the cup, which Is an or
binary tin one is still far from clean.
The varieties OF bacteria included
large numbers of staphylococci and
str ptococci, which are pus germs,
some that looked very much like
diphtheria bacflli, some colon baciui
which would show pollution with hui
mas excreta, and many other un-
identified forms. In addition to the
bacteria present there were epithelial
ellis which are s"~aped from the lips,
to the number of $4,000. These were
estimated 'av centrifuging and count
ing in blood counting apparatus
Cup number two was taken from the
water cooler in the Women's Wait
ing Room of the 500 Depot at Minot.
In examining this cup, which was a
tin one similar to cup number one, we
used a pair Of shears to cut sections
from different parts of the cup These
sections were then put into sterile
water and thoroughly scrubbed, out
side and in, with small swab, and
the number of bacteria and epithelial
cells estimated, in the same way as
on cup number one, except that in :,
this case we learned from experience
and counted the bacteria in dilution

chief. To be sure, individual drink
ing cups are an increased expensx,
and SO are individual tooth brushes
and handkerchiefs, but who will say
they are not paying proposition.
Many substitutes for the public
drinking cup are already on the mar
he4, and they are becoming daily
more popular. Bubble fountains,
where there Is = supply Of running
water, are most pr;act1cable. In
drinking from these, the lips do not
come in contact with any part of the
fountain, and they are perfectly san.
itary. These could easily be install.
ed in the depots of all cities and
towns, having a municipal water
supply.
Many forms of individual drinking
cups have been invented. There is
the folding metal cup for pocket use,
and several forms of paper cups.
which are sold in bulk and also put
up IN aseptic packages, two in a pack
age. There are also a number OF
vending machines from which these
cups are dispensed at a penny .
piece. These could be installed
on railway trains and furnish a
cheap and convenient method of sup
plying individual drinking cups.
These cups also furnish an excel
lent advertising medium and are used
by many Of our most progressive
firms and do not know of anything
that would be better form Of adver-
Using for the railway companies than
TO furnish them on their trains for
the free use of the public.
In cases where the public drinking
CUP is still in use and an individual
cup is not at hand, very serviceable
one may be provided by folding a
square piece of paper as illustrated,
and it Is seldom indeed that the ma
terial rs not at hand for this simple
little article. I do not know who is
the originator of this but it is worth
passing on.
In conclusion l would make the
following recommendations: First
That the water supply on all divisions
be placed under the supervision OF
the company surgeons at the points
where the water coolers are filled,
and that it shall be the duty Of the
surgeons to see that the water Is
examined regularly for impurities, and
that the coolers are kept in a sani-
tary condition.
Second: THAT all water coolers
he thoroughly washed daily, and scald-
ed or otherwise disinfected, not less
frequently than at the end of each
trip.
Third THAT water coolers be 80
constructed that the ice shall be
used only for cooling purposes, the
water being in a separate compart-
ment from the ice.
Fourth THAT the public drinking
be abolished in all trains ana
depots, and some one of the substlth'
les provided in its place.

st. Paul.-Suit against the Interna-
tional Harvester Company charging it
with being a monopoly in restraint of
trade and asking that 1t be dissolved,
has been filed by the government in
the United States District Court here.
A petition in equity naming seven
corporations and eighteen individuals
as being the responsible heads of the
40,000,000 harvester corporation sets
forth the charge that the defendant
controls majority of the trade in har-
vesting machinery in the United States
Ito the grave injury of the farmer
and the general public"
1t asks that a receiver be appoint
cd to take charge Of the corporations
business, If the court sees fit.
Another petition asks the issuance
of subpoenas for all defendants net
residing in this district. The defen-
dants, it was announced, will have
Until June 3rd to enter their plead
ings, and the trials probably will be
Set for the October term Of court.
The government contends that the
corporation has eliminated competi-
tion by securing control Of great
I4ajority of the, retail implement deal
ers in the United States, who nIe
made their exclusive selling agents.
The petition says:
1.-The opportunities for any new
competitors are constantly betng
closed by the defendants in all lines
of agricultural implements; the agsn-
cies for distribution, the retail imp'e-
nent dealers and others are rapidly
coming under their undisputed con-
troll, and unless prevented and re-
strained, their complete, unchallenged
dominion of every branch of trade and
commerce in agricultural implements
OF all kinds may be confidently ex-
pected at an early date"
The government charges that the
defendants have absorbed competing
companies, but concealed their own
ership, permitting them to be adver-
tised "as wholly independent and
without connection with them, the
Trust, or any combination intend
ing thereby to mislead. deceive and
tefraud the public and more effectu-
ally cripple existing competitors and
keep out new ones.'
The bill contains these charges.
1.-THE defendants have resorted 20
unfair trade methods; have made in
accurate and misleading statements
concerning rival machines or concern
ing the credit of competitors; have by
misrepresentation sought to induce
competitors, agents and dealers to
abandon them, and in divers unfair
ways have endeavored to destroy
them, and for the purpose of destrlc.
tive competition have reduced prices
of their machines in some localities
below cost Of production and distri
button while keeping prices up IN
other localities"

THE OLD PLEA
He 1DIdn't Know II Was Loaded

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
q severe poison to the heart and
nerves. causing many forms Of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
Il was a lover of coffee and used Il
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects was suffering from its
use. (Tea is Just as injurious as cot
fee because 1t, too, contains caffeine
the same drug found in coffee.)
"At first was troubled with indiges-
tion. I did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee, but thought II
arose from other causes. With these
attacks had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such a condition could scarce.
ly retain any food.
II consulted a physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
ton, but was not informed what
caused the INDIGESTION. kept on with
the coffee, and kept on with the trou-
bles. too. and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until Il
developed Into chronic diarrhea, nau.
sea and severe attacks of vomiting. I
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became a mere shadow, reduced from
159 to 1913 pounds.
"A specialist informed mo I had Q
very severe case of catarrh of the
stomach, which had got SO bad he
could do nothing for me, and became
convinced my days were numbered.
"Then CHANGED to see an article set
ting forth the good qualities Of Postum
and explaining how coffee injured peo-
pie 80 I concluded to give Postum Q
trial. soon saw the good effects-my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long In
tervals and was soon a changed man,
feeling much better.
Then thought could stand coffes
again, but as soon as tried 1t my old
troubles returned and l again turned
to Postum. Would you believe 1t, l
did this three times before I had sense
enough to quit coffee for good and
keep on with the Postum. / am now q.
well man with no more headaches, sick
stomach or vomiting. and have
