SODA WATERS, BOTTLED. 



Bottled soda waters are made by the addition of water to a sirup 

 prepared for the purpose, and carbonating the same by forcing car- 

 bon dioxide gas into it. The bottling process is comparatively simple, 

 and while many of the bottlers of the State are intelligent men, 

 much of the bottling business is in the hands of men of so little in- 

 telligence that they do not comprehend the law or realize the great 

 danger to which the health of the public may be subjected from the 

 bottling of soft drinks under insanitary conditions, to say nothing 

 of the objectionable material that may go into the product. Many 

 cases of fever and other diseases may originate from the contami- 

 nated water used by one bottling plant. It is realized that inspection 

 should be made of all such plants, and that they should be required 

 to be operated in a sanitary condition, so that they would not en- 

 danger the health and lives of the people ; but funds with which to do 

 the work are not available. 



The quality of bottled soda waters varies greatly. While a few of 

 them are made from wholesome products, many of them are made
