Urgent Need Of More Water,

If a reason is sought for the hold
which beer drinking has on people it
may be found in part in the difficulty
Of getting water to drink. That also
gives the soda fountains business. The
New York Tribune has published a
letter from a citizen of New Jersey
who complained that he could not get
q drink of water in New York city.
His complaint is just, and it applies to
every town and city. The person who
wishes a cooling draft must pay
money, five cents at least, for it. and
he can rarely get water even then.
Various attempts to meet the lack
have failed. and the discovery of the
germ theory has contrived to render
the failure apparently final.
