fupiIs In Public Schools Urged Not
TO Drink City Water.

Pupils in the public schools have
peen urged not to drink city water.
Supt. A. J. Stout said today. The
water has not been turned off as yet,
but il its condition does not improve
the school authorities may decide that
1t is better for the pupils to be thirsty
than to be imbibing dangerous bacilli
that are known to exist in the water.
Some of the pupils are bringing
boiled drinking water from their
homes, Superintendent Stout said, and
are being encouraged to do so. IL
would be impossible to install distilled
water system in the school, he said,
because of the number of containers
IL would require.
