TURNS ON FAUCET;
GETS APPLEJACK
Enjoyed Until Cider Maker
Finds New Dump for Refuse
in Reading, Pa.

Reading, Pa.-For some weeks the
city water bureau has noticed an amaz-
ing increase in the water used in this
city. Inspectors and registrars alike
were unable to account for 1t. People
who seldom used water except TO wash
10 have been seen indulging in a1naZ-
ing quantities. Men who have not
used it as a tipple for long time have
been forsaking bars and clinging to
water attachments in public places in
lieu Of pumps.
Analysis of the water discovered
peculiar taste. 1t was like three fingers
of Bourbon diluted to the eighth de-
gree. This failed to solve the mys-
terry, however, as no one supposed for
a moment that distillery had been
located near any of the reservoirs.
By accident the key to the puzzle has
Just been found. One of the inspec-
tors Of the state health board patrol
ling the water shed found several cider
mills along the Maiden creek, which
supplies the city, were dumping the
waste and pulp from the apples used
In making cider into the stream. This
pulp, fermenting In the shallow places,
produced the alcoholic juice that lent
its peculiar applejack flavor later no
ticed In the city water.
Even the fish showed the effects.
Fishermen reported that the fish would
not bite, but seemed to be running
around recklessly in the water and in
dulging In antics that no fish tu It's
right mind would think Of.
