The National Guard Bureau has
warned National Guard units of the
danger Of supplying troops with
drinking water in barrels. It was
called to their attention that these
barrels easily become a menace to
the health of the troops as disease
spreaders, being classed with the
common drinking cups which are
illegal in most States. 1t was
pointed out that such barrels of
water are usually unnecessary since
all train coaches have water tanks
OF adequate capacity, and troops are
to be instructed to use water in the
coach tanks for their water supply
1t was added that the water in
barrels Is contaminated either by
improper icing or by troops dipping
their hands into the barrels in filling
their canteens.
