How to Drink From
a Bubbling Fountain

If improperly constructed or i'm
properly used. the bubbling drinking
fountain may be Il greater menace
to health than the common drinking
cup. Every person using the bubbling
drinking fountain should bear In mind
that the object of this sanitary device
is to prevent the Interchange of mouth
secretions. When mucous and other
matter becomes attached TO metal it
sometimes requires considerable force
to remove il, and this is not always
accomplished by n slowly moving cur
rent of water. In using the bubbling
fountain the rule should be Bite the
Bubble" The lips should not touch
any part of the fountain, and under
no condition should the fountain be
used for rinsing the mouth or for en-
pcctoratinG.
