Has rare old delicatessen flavor tinctured with aromatic spirits of garbage scows. All municipal water supplies are loaded to muzzle with micro-organisms and politicians. It ia possible to eliminate polit ical germ by chemical processes in election laboratories every four years. But microbes know no ad ministration. They're always running for office. They yield only to pharmaceutical ultimatums. Germs establish quorums in all municipafwaterworks and multiply like head-waiter adding up dinner check. Plebiscite of water inhabi tants indicates that alien germs are driving old residents into new busi nesses. No use squawking loud and shrill against drinking water. May taste like rare old vintage or abattoirs. But well get new flavor next ireek. Chemicals used in reservoirs arc chlorine, permanganate, copper sul phate, hyposulphide, cubic centimet ers. And we think we're, drinking water. ' , That way all over the country. Philadelphia municipal juice tastes like whiskers on a barber shop floor. Chicago city syrup owns flavor similar to densely populated flypaper. They gave up drinking water in Louisville years ago. Newark supply ha ' complexion like wall paper in back room of speakeasy. They drink cloud water in New Orleans filtered through sparrows' nests in rainspouts. So why should we complain in New York? . Got to have chemicals to kill germs. Best way to drink water ia to boil it until it evaporates. Always boil your drinking water. If you haven't got any stove, put in your flivver radiator. Sure to boil there.
