WATER MICROBE mania
IS SCORED BY EXPLORER
Many People Injure Themselves by
Refusing Ordinary Fluid,
Says Lander.
PARIS, January 10, 10

PARIS, January 10, 1914.
The microbe mania has driven many
people to injure themselves in refusing
to drink ordinary water according to
Henry Savage Lander. The explorer de-
clares that water even from sources con-
sidered impure is often harmless and cites
instances when he has drunk from pol
luted streams.
When you boil water you devitalize
it, he explained in a recent discussion
of drinking water. Il have been drinking
from streams and ponds in the tropics
and all over the world for twenty-five
years and l am convinced that people are
wrong in believing that there is any
danger in water that is dirty or that may
actually have disease germs in it.
Philippine Experiences.
Il remember a f1ve-week trip 1 took
with one of the American expeditionary
columns in the Philippines. The doctors
laid down absolute rules that no soldier
should drink water until it had been
boiled or take a bath in any river or lake
because cholera was about. The pack
animals were loaded down with cans in
which to boil the water, and during all
that expedition 1 do not believe single
soldier cor officer drank water that mad
not been boiled, or ventured to battle in
any of the creeks or ponds that we ran
across I was the scandal Of the party
because I insisted upon drinking from
the streams and lakes and refused to
drink the boiled water 1 was the only
man in the expedition who returned In a
At condition.
Takes Less Tainted Water.
Lander added that when he found
tainted water he simply took less of il
than he did of the. pure.
Contrary to the prevailing view, Mr..
Landor's experience is that in doing with
out food one does not care much for
water. He and two native servants were
without food sixteen days during his ex-
ploration Of remote parts of Brazil.
I'VE had plenty of water during this
starvation period said he but we took
very little because We did not want it.
With extreme hunger went also the desire
for water"
