DANGER IN WATER
EVENING 'PUBLIC- IDGERliAI)EriPHIAV MONDAY,' JANUARY 26, 1920
University Hygiene Professor
Questions Reports Students
Are III From Drinking It
THOUSANDS VISIT SPRING
Despite the fact that city physician"
declare analysis of the city water dis
rinses nothinp which might cause nick
?". TmninTiits of llluess said to be
rauscd by the water continue to come
from all parts of the city. Physician
continue to warn their patients not to
drink the water. .,.,,,
The Fairmount Park spring is visited
by thousands every day who arc alarmed
by the taste of the city water.
In discussing the matter today
Dr 0. Lincoln Furbusb, director of
nubile health, declared fears regarding
the water are groundless.
"Wo have been making analyses of
Ibe water every night and morning,"
be 6iid, "and so far have discovered
absolutely nothing that would lead us
to believo the reported cases of sick
ness due to the water. In fact, some
of the reports come from families where
bottled water is used exclusively. Nat
urally, persons who became ill through
tome cause unknown to them are liable
lo attribute it to the drinking water,
due to its present unnatural taste."
Continue Analysis
Doctor Furbush said the aualysls of
the water supply would be continued
ind every effort made to discover the
muse of the sickness. When asked
whether it was possible the water tnight
bo responsible for the reported spread
of influenza, he cited cities iu other sec
tions of the country where tho disease is
mnr Drevalent. "l'ou can readily bee."
he fald, "tnat tne disease is hoc conuueu
to Philadelphia alone."
Yesterday it was reported that be
tween 10 nnd 23 per cent of the btudents
enrolled in tho undergraduate depart
ments of the University of Pennsylvania
tad been stricken with indigestion during
the last weeK. Tno students, it is miiu,
are inclined to regard their illness as
coincident with tho many rumors of an
epidemic of stomach and intestinal trou
ble causeu Dy me poor conuuion 01 lue
city's water supply. ,
Due to Freezing
Ou the other hand, Dr. A. C. Abbott,
bead 01 me department of hygiene ut the
Unit entity, declared he had beard .no
reports of sickness among the student
body. In discussing the unnutural
tasto of the city's water, ho said It was
u condition which exists almost every
winter, when tho river is frozen over.
Park guards said today tho rush
for spring water during' tho last few
days has been unprecedented, although
frequently at this season of tho year tho
Park springs nro liberally patronized.
Tho principal springs iu tho Park 'are
at George's Hill, Belmont Plateau;
Edgcly, near Woodford guardhouse; at
Six Oaks, near the Diamond street en
trance, nnd close to tho Columbia ave
nue entrance.
HAS NEW GRAVITY THEORY
Profcsaor Bowehcr, Visitor Here,
Calls It Push, Not Pull
Gravity is not pull; it is push.
That is the theory of Prof. C. A.
'iowsher, scientist, philosopher aud
couomist, formerly of the University
)f Illinois.
In taking exception to the generally
ccepted theory of Sir Isaac Newton
"rofessor Bon slier udvances the theory
hat tho hidden force that causes an
object thrown Into tho air to return
violently is lines ot ctnercai mo
tions."
Tho scientist's investigations have at
tracted tho attention of experts' at the
University of Pennsylvania. Ho is
visiting this city today.

The new store of Fritz & La Rue, Inc., 1C15 Chestnut street, is
shown in the illustration heading these columns. ' Tho illustration
gives you but a faint idea of tho size of tho building, for there are
five floors, which give excellent facilities for tho display! of the fine
floor coverings handled by this house. This firm, has long been known
as an importer and retailer of the finest Oriental rugs, and handles
also the best qualities of domestic rugs and carpets. Tho store has
lecently been removed to this new location, which is just outside tho
congested shopping district of the city.

rpHOSE who possess .i silver scrv--

fortunate, indeed. It is valuable
not only for its beauty and, utility
but as well for cherish. 1 associa

ing just such silver, purchased
fram Bailey, Banks & Biddle
Company, or Bailey & Company, as it
was then, in the days when Philadel

tho patterns reproduced in .pieces

and, indeed, many of the most incer

at Bailey's are reproductions of these

much appreciated as an anniversary

such a silver service.
TTNLESS you have seen one of
u the Gift-Baskets of luscious
fruits put up by Henry R. Hallowell
& Son, Broad street below Chestnut,
you could only faintly picture to
yourself the beauty of the baskets
and the exquisite arrangement of
the wonderful fruits, wjth their vary
ing tones of color. As an artist
Works to malo his canvas ner-
fect, adding here and changing there,
subtly contrasting colors, but never
leaving one that clashes, so these ex
perts in tho delicate art of arranging
fruits produce their masterpieces.
The finest of fancy Japanese and
Chinese baskets and hampers are
Used, soma hand painted, others plain
or in susudaki, or a soft green finish.
Ab gifts for any occasion they are
unsurpassed and can be sent any

MOST of us appreciate a gift

for its deliciousness is one of glace

TLTALP the tasto of a good cup of

in which it is made. A good coffee
pot improves even the poorest
quality of coffee and makes the best

a decided improvement over the old

T HAD run over to the Stcinway
x Warerooms, at 1111 Chestnut
street, for a glimpse of my fa
vorite New Edison machine, a Wil
liam and Mary model, and was chat
ting with one of the salesmen, when
suddenly some one (evidently on the
floor above, I thought, for that is
where the pianos are) played the
first part of that beautiful compo
sition of Liszt's, the Second Hun
garian ttiiapsoaie. i asked who was
playing, for I realized that it was a
masterly interpretation. "Why, that's
Sergei Rachmaninoff on the New
Edison,' answered the salesman.
So realistic was tho sound that
there seemed no difference be
tween this re-creation and tho piano
itself. And, indeed, there is no d '
ference, for this tone test has bce"n
tried with the same result before
large audiences.

Mr. Thomas died yesterday, uftcr the
