SPARKLING WATER
SERVEO AT BANQUET
The Howard Payne Ladies Saw That
Every Detail of Their Recent
Banquet was PerfcctioH.
While It has been the subject ot re-
mark that the Howard Payne banquet
was simply perfection in its every de-
tail perhaps no more eulogistic com-
ment has been made upon any point
than upon the sparkling purity of the
water provided. The water we learn
was the ordinary city water and its
superior excellence was due to the
fact that it was filtered through one
of those magnificent "Eclipse" Fily
ffers sold by the Rankin Sheet Metal
Works and which are said to be the
best filters on the market Better get
one and remove the impurities from
your drinking water and thus con-
serve the health and happiness of your
household.
