The table waters produced in Maine,
such as Poland" and in Wisconsin,
such as white Rock" together with
the output of a dozen other springs. un-
Questionab1y will take the place OF eucn
waters as we have been Importing
from Europe. They are cheaper. Tor
one thing; they are just a. good IN re-
spect to potabflity and medicinal value,
and, furthermore. they are made In
America
That the commercial springs Of the
country will welcome an increased pa.
tronage is evident from the fact that
for the past three or four years the
mercial springs has shown steady
annual decrease. This has been largely
occasioned by the installation In many
cities of municipal publication plants
which have SO increased the public con-
fldence in the safety Of the ordinary
bottled table waters has proportionate-
ly decreased.
Another reflection Of this same rnove-
ment for better water supplies 10 shown
in the fact that bottled mineral waters
have steadily decreased in price. This
demand for medicinal wateres to be
used solely for medicinal purposes has
fallen of, and people are not willing to
pay high prices for mineral waters used
solely for table purposes.
The moral is: Drink American table
take American baths, and you will have
just as good a chance to get well and
you will not be in danger of being ar
rested as a spy.

BIG COTTON RESERVES

Sir Charles Macara, Head Of Inter-

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 12.-Sir Charles
NIAGARA, president of the International
Cotton Federation, has made state
ment in regard to the effect which
may be produced. by the overplus Of
cotton. consequent upon the partial or
complete stoppage OF the cotton mills
on the European continent.
Sir Charles said that for years past
he had been advocating the establish
ment of cotton reserves, and now was
the time to put his suggestions into
operation. Unless something Of this
kind was done he feared the outlook
for every one engaged in the growing
and manufacturing Of cotton was very
serious, indeed.
For years the cotton industry Of the
world had been requiring more and
of cotton had been in
creased in excess Of both the raw
material and labor available. Much
work had been carried on
since the Industrial Cotton Federation

How the War Affects Us.
XXxII.-MineraI Waters.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

In the whole history of the curative
art the first and most ancient place OF
honor is occupied by spring water.
Thousands of years before man ever
dreamed of pathogenic germs he had a
firm belief that copious draughts OF
spring water would cure almost any
disease, and the only special qualihca-
ton he required was that the spring
water should taste as bad as possible
With our refnements we have come 10
insist upon the curative qualities OF
more palatable and more potable waters.
but these we use for table and still
cling to the smelly, bad-tasting waters
for actual medicinal use.
Nothing is more significant of the in
standardization of the world than
the fact that such a war as that now
v:agsng in Europe upsets our whole
scheme of drinking curative spring
water Not that we Americans have not
enough spring water here. Tor we nave,
not that we have not sunlclent VaIlety
of mineral water springs, for we nave:
but that the effect of mineral waters IS
based as much in psychology as IN
physiology, and those of US VINO aHect
mineral waters are nnlcky aooo' ouA
particular brands.
Thousands of US go every year to the
great European spas to take the cure;
Carlsbad is closed to US. Marlenpao IS
wfesbaden is entirely too near the great
hattlefields of western Europe for psy-
Geological comfort Such of US as nave
been in the habit of going to Europe
to drink the waters must stay at nome
and cultivate a taste for Saratoga and
Hot Springs.
The United States imports from Eu-
rope each year more than 1,0O0.00O
dozen quarts of European mineral wat
ers. The value of these imports is more
than s1.o00,000 at the ports. and this Is
probably increased to more than

times as great We drink more than
si,O00,0O0 worth of bottled spring water
at table and we consume bottled medic
inal waters to the value of million
and a half dollars year from our
own springs.
These figures represent only a frac-
tion of the money spent in drinking
spring water, since those who go to
the springs and use the baths that ac-
company many of them, necessarily
spend a great deal more money.
The total expenses of those Amer
leans who have been in the habit of
visiting the European spas, annually
or occasionally, must amount to many
millions of dollars a year. No doubt,
enterprising managers of American re-
sorts will do their best to capture a
large proportion of this money.
The medicinal virtues of mineral
waters depend first upon their mineral
content, and. second, upon their newly
discovered property of radio-activity.
Many spring waters have an appre-
ciabfe amount of radio-activity.
Few If any. of them have an actual
content of radium. but in flowing
through the earth they have come in
contact with radium- bearing ores and
