cases tia difference was too slight to be of any
significance either for or against hard water
One may drink the hardest kind of water, DR..
Thresh concludes, without any fear that the lime
salts it contains will have an Injurious effect on
the health. Although healthful hard water,
from an economic standpoint, is far more
expensive and inconvenient than SOFT because it
clogs the pipes through which it flows and
necesstates the use Of a great deal more soap
Another interesting fact established by Dr.
Threshs Investigations IS that water from a
sewage polluted river like the Thames, Is, when
properly filtered, as wholesome to drink as
water from the deepest wells OF the best gravel
springs.

HARD WATER Is NOT HARMFUL

7 TARD water is the name applied to water
containing considerable percentage OF
lime salts. 1t Is found in chalky, sandy
or gravelly districts, and the more lime salts 1t
contains the harder" 1t is considered.
There has long been a widespread popular
belief that hard water is unheathful to drink,
or at least not SO heathful as soft water, which
contains no lime salts-or only q small per-
centage But whatever ground this belief may
have had is taken from under it by some ex-
tended investigations recently made by DR.. John
G. Thresh, medical officer for the county of
Essex, England.
DR.. Thresh has compared the death rates for
periods of five years in districts where hard
water is used with those of districts where the
water is soft. He found no difference In the
