SOFT DRINK MENACE
Believed to be Undermining Health of
Pittsburgh, Pa.

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Pittsburgh, Pa, JIly, 17.-Soft
drinks, soda water and water ices, on
whicl. some INSCRIPTIONS dealers clear
a net profit Of from, 60 to 70 per
cent, are undermining the health of
residents Of the congested portions
of Pittsburgh in opinion. of many
competent authorities. The per capita
ratio of tuberculosis among the popu-
lation of this city and vicinity has
been on the increase.
While some physicians attribute
this increase to the after effects Of
the recent Spanish influenza epidemic
others with equally correct sources of
information say the spread of the d.
sease is due largely to 5unsanitary
conditions under which some so-called
refreshments, including soft drinks,
are manufactured, distributed and
served.
Dr.. Orlando Fouse, one of the ply
sicians in charge of the State Tuber-
cuNosis Dispensary No. 20, at II Tun-
nell street, yesterday said: "You need
only to look these establishments over
and sae the conditions which surround
Them" said DR.. Fouse, "and you would
not want to drink their products"
