many of the types OF sanitary drink

Prof. j. H. Dunlap, expert in SAM
tary engineering at the University OF
Iowa.
The bubbliny fountain without
mouth guard s like gun without
stock; the most important factor In
it's usefulness for public protection has
been overlooked. Professor Dunlap
asserts in the case Of the customary
vertical-jet type OF fountain without
mouth guard, the lips of the drinker
are apt to be placed directly upon the
metal top of the bubbler. Observation
of one fountain in public library or
the continuous type showed that
three fourths Of the persons who used
the fountain during the day placed
their lips upon the metal top. Sew
eral Of these persons were in bad
health.
Breeds Contamination.
In the vertical-jet fountains it Is
obvious that the water which has
touched the lips may fall back on the
metal tops. The fresh water bubbles
up thru a cup of more or less stag
nant water which touches the lips,
falls back into this cup and seriously
communicates 1t.
Fountains with intermittent flow
are naturally much more dangerous
than those with a continuous flow.
Intermittent flow fountains with verti-
cal Jets should be unqualifiedly- con-
demned. declares Professor Dunlap.
Scientific experiments also disclose
that continuous flow fountains Of the
vertical type are dangerous. and that
numerous epidemcs have been spread
by them.
The most serious violation of COM
mon sense of which our drinking
ing fountains are guilty. Professor
Dunlap concludes. is that nearly all

Wednesday and Disappeared.


Wednesday and Disappeared.
Boone, May 26.--Fri, uds and reia-
tives of Keith Spurrier are consider
ably concerned about his whereabouts
since his disappearance from home
Wednesday evening, May IL. About
month ago Keith was discharged from
the army and returned to the home OF
his grandfather Jacob Burkhart IN
Peoples township. Two or three weeks
ago he went to work for his uncle, j.
H. Burkhart, Wednesday evening, May
IA. he drove his Ford car away soon
after supper, making no statements as
to where he was going and Mr.. ana
Mrs. Burkhart supposed that he was
merely going to Bouton or Perry to at
tend a picture show. When he did not
return Wednesday night and Thurs
day not much was thought Of 1t on &C
count Of the celebration in Des MONIES
Thursday for the 1Ssth regiment. How
ever. when he did not return Friday
and Saturday the folks became some
what uneasy.
Saturday morning the sheriff OF Green
county notified an auto company at
Perry that a Ford car had been pick
ed up in the country southwest OF Rip
uey. In looking UP the records they
found that it was the car that had
been sold to Keith Spurrfer. Inquiry
was Immediately made by them wheth-
err or not the Spurrier car had been
stolen, and this is the point in the
case about which there is consider
able mystery. When L. A. Root, a
farmer living three and oue-half miles
northwest Of Dawson. arose Thursday
morning at 400 q. m. he)noticed Ford
car down the road close to his home.
The car was off to one side Of the
grade and apparently in good condi-
ton. He worked that DAY in the field
near by and during the forenoon ne
observed whether or not anyone came
to claim the car During the afternoon
he drove the car up in his yard and in
formed the Green county sheriff. There
had been car stolen Wednesday
morning and on comparison Of num-
bers this was found not to be the car.
The car was driven back to Bouton
Sunday and placed in a garage. One
Of the peculiar circumstances in the
case is that if the boy intended to run
away. why he would drive in the coun-
/ try three or four miles and abandon
the car and walk to town and take a
train. Also he was known to have con-
siderable money on his person at the
time Of leaving. The car was in good
condition when found with plenty of
fuel and OIL and ready to go as soon
as the motor was turned over
