Mr.. EDITOR, il is rather strange to have the
editor of temperance paper. warning people
against the free use of water in warm wea
ther, as | see an article doing in your paper oi
Monday. From long observation and expe.
rience, am convinced that water taken from
the pumps without tee will not injure any tee
totaler, and there is not much danger of drunk
ards drinking pure water, if they can raise a
few cents to buy liquor. But when the drunk
ard has to come TO cold water on sudden,
while his copper is hot, then there is danger oi
an explosion, and these are the only cases where
cold water is dangerous. Instead of being sur
prised at seeing people drinking water, you
ought rather to rejoice that people are adopt
ing your principles, and that they are not as,
hamed to stop at the pumps and drink the
cooling beverage Of nature. am surprised al
seeing people pouring hot liquors down their
throa's. and apprehend the most fatal results
from the practice to millions.


COLD WATER.
