THE REMEDY o IT

The question OF pure drinking water

Ing for some years. The necessity
for It has not beer made any more
impressive by the present sensational

only one way to remove disquietlug
feeling on the subject. and that lies
with the citizens themselves. Pure
water in the schools is not going TO
remedy the matter. To effectively
guard the health Of the community
pure water should be in every home.

has approved b.. n IL is now before
