Break Old Statute.

There is statute almost as old as
the barrel itself, which strictly stip-
uates that public drinking cups shall
not be allowed in Mississippi court
houses This provision is to be en-
forced within the next 60 days.
A new and modern sanitary drinking
fount is to be installed at the court
house to take the place of the barrel
of ice water and the battered tin cup.
The court house officials are going
to carry ont the orders made by the
State Board of Health in Jackson yes
terday, when new regulations were
drawn up by DR.. w. S. Leathers, direc
tor of public health.
DR.. Leathers has had numerous Oc
casions to observe, in county seats
hundreds of people drinking from the
Same dipper or cup. The fact that
Mississippi has statute fOrbidding
the use of the public drinking cup
and the laws were not enforced in
the county temples of justice, where
persons might be brought at any time
to be tried for disobedience of that
law did not look consistent to the di
rector of health and the matter has
weighed on his mind for some time
The health board believes that at
torneys, judges and all officials who
have offices in court houses will be
only too glad to know that such reg
ulation has been adopted, and will co
| operate in enforcing it to the letter.
~ Must Provide Fountains.
Vhe new regulation provides that
evefX court house in the state shall
within sixty days, install and main
tain sanitary drinking fountains, ant
within sixty days discard the use o
the drinking cup or dipper, to which
every one might have access. 1t is
left to the officials in court houses il
towns where there are no water work:
To provide some means to meet the sit
nation, either by furnishing papel
drinking cups or compelling people t.
bring their own dippers to the cour
yard.
