Product of Springs Found
to Have Beneficial
Health Effect.

When one reflects that from SIS to
80 per cent of the body is really
water, that the blood is mostly
water, and that the other vital fluids
Of the body are also principally
water, the Importance of the health
fitness and purity of this water is
evident.
Nature has way of compromising
such water that man can not ap-
proach. The medical springs of the
world can be analysed, and a sick
nan may be treated with exactly
the same amounts of the chemicals
contained in the water, without APP
parent effect, while when placed on
the water itself he begins to gain
Immediately,
This same thing is true with
drinking good spring water. There
is something about it that invigo-
rates, strengthens and clears away
the byproductS of the body that are
injurious.
Actual tests have shown that Of
f1es using Crystal Springs water in
indianapolis are more efficient and
happier than when the office staff
is forced to do without it, Many
homes in the city have the same
experience. They find that Crystal
Spring water has marked benef1-
cial effect.
Efficiency Is Reduced
Then, with this beneficial water,
the manner of drinking it becomes
of equal Importance. 1t has been
declared by eminent scientists who
are studying the common cold that
at least 80 per cent of the losses of
time and efficiency from this source
are due to the taking in of the cold
germ through the mouth.
The annual loss, especially to en-
plOyers, runs into hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. No one wants to
send an employe home because he
has cold, yet his own worth DUR
ing its duration is greatly lowered
and he is potential danger to the
rest of the force.
One of the commonest causes of
the spread of the colds and too
often of more serious diseases is the
common drinking cup. Enough has
been written about this to abolish
this cup, but it still flourisheS.
Cost Is Negligible
That is largely because of lack of
thought. The ease with which paper
cups can be supplied and the low
cost attached thereto simply has not
yet registered on otherwise man
ayers of labor and Office forces.
If it had, there would be no need
of this article. AS it is, the actual
financial loss of a concern that per-
mits the insanitary practice of one
person driking after another would
pay the cost of such cups many
times over.
The Crystal Springs Water Com
pany, 148 Virginia avenue, has been
urging this gospel of health for
years. This concern supplies the
Burt paper cup, with a free dis
penser for the Office or shop, in ad-
dition to furnishing Crystal Springs
water, a deep spring water main
tanned at deep spring GOODNESS by
Frigidaire coolers, leased or sold to
it's patrons.
Employers Are Benefited
A volume might be written of the
beneficial results following the pro-
vision of good spring water and
sanitary cups It is only too evident
that most persons fail to drink
enough water, and that as conse-
quence they grow loggy and sleepy,
slow in their work, and make mis-
takes, some of which are quite like
ly to prove expensive.
But there is another side to it,
too, for those who enjoy the good
spring water are happier, brighter
and more contented-and as en-
ployers know we'll, that means are
far more valuable.
