It is necessary to distill the water in order that a clear ice can be made. It is very evident that no consider ation was taken into account as to the absolute purity of the finished distilled water product, and the main reason of distilling was to get a clear ice. This is borne out by the fact that distilled water manufacturers in variably useiTthe exhaust steam from their engine and pump cylinders for making their distilled water. This steam as it leaves the cylinders con tains millions of particles of cylinder oil that has been used in the engine cylinders. The steam then goes to the condensers where it is distilled into water, and on: leaving the con densers is a mixture of filthy oil, grease and distilled water. This is run through traps and filters to take the oil out, but it does not eliminate all of the oil. It then passes to the reboiler, where it is reboiled in order that further oil can be taken out by skimming the water. The water is then made into ice. Some of the oil is left tin the water and at times is very bad, showing up in the ice in a rust color, in the center seam or core of the ice. In melting it will show up in a scum that will analyze as oil. In recent cases it has been known that manufacturers of distilled water ice have bought ice in carlots from nearby points, rather than place thefr Own oil soaked manufactured product on the market competing with ice made by the latest method of making ice, the air system. Ice made by the distilled water method usually retains its oil flavor. The air system in later years was discovered, whereby it was unneces sary to distill the water in order to make a clear, tasteless ice. It was found that by blowing air into the water while it was freezing that the process of freezing would be slower, and the agitation of the water would force practically all air from the water, as well as forcing the mineral matter from it. The air pipe, which is piaced in the center of the freezing can, is removed just before it is fro*en in and the core water which contains all the organic and mineral matter is sucked out. 'the core is then filled with a softened or filtered water and allowed to freeze up solid. It is-also km> wn that when frozen by this method that a harder and j lasting ice is made than distilled wa-1 ter ice which is frozen standing still; and catches the air in freezing; throughout the entire cake. The air method gives a finished product as pure as distilled water ice. Where it is possible to obtain a good water practically all builders of new plants are putting In the air system, and even distilled water manufacturers in a good many cases have torn out their boilers and condensers and have replaced them with the air system- in many of the large cities hardly any distilled water plants are left, and some towns now have no distilled water plants whatever. In each district where the air sys tem has gone in competition with dis tilled water ice, the manufacturers of distilled water ice cry the purity of their product, basing their finished product against the raw water before it has gone through the filtering air and freezing process. They do not tell the public of the oily, slimy con dition of their distilled water before they filter and strain it. Distilled water when made right, we all know, is pure, therefore their battle cry of • t ’ ,v ;• ‘ , . .-,<* it ' '. /* . -*- A ■■■* „ •• j- i :'4v * * v*' . V^^-j> r' ? 'J *' .

It has failed throughout the large cities, as it will in Lake land- Federal ice is made by the air sys tem. We do not claim it free of mineral matter. The clear crystal part of the ice is as free of mineral matter as any distilled water and will answer the same purposes when melted as distilled water will in fill ing prescriptions or storage batter ies. Most of the prominent physi cians may use distilled water in pre paring prescriptions, and they may secure their distilled water from ice plants, with the belief that they are getting a distilled water free of all matter, but if a slough of oil happens to come along, they are apt to grease up their patients a little. The Fed eral ice at present contains a mineral in the core water and it will show UP in the core of the ice in a scum while melting. This is due to the core water and will not be found in the crystal part of the ice which has been freed of mineral matter. It is only a little lime or magnesia, and while 50 per cent of the community are using Federal ice, no deaths have been reported. The larger majority of Lakeland’s most prominent phy sicians are using Federal ice. Owing to the rapidity in which the plant was built in order to take care of the season's fruit and vegetable crop the water softener and filter hus not been installed for the core water, therefore the small, narrow white seam at the core and the excessive mineral matter that forms on this white core in melting. The water softener and filter will be installed this summer, and while at present there is no ice on the market that excels our product, we will then turn out an ice that you can then read your dajly newspapers through. As we are in the ice business, and in justice to our business, we are forced to make public this item, be cause of the numerous rumors that have been circulated that the Federal Ice Company was owned by the rail roads, that lake water was used in manufacture, and the pamphlets that have been broadcasted proclaiming distilled water ice as the only ice fit for consumption. The Federal ice is not railroad I owned or controlled. They built herej accepting the refrigerator car nnej business to take care of your crops, | which facilities were heretofore iuad-' equate,' in order that sufficient ice could be had at a reasonable price. They were offered second choice to ■provide these important facilities. : Federal ice is made of deep well 1 water from a depth of about 800 feet, and the plant is the only plant in the city not having a lake line connection. A private analysis shows the water pure- The Florida state health authorities are now arranging an analysis that will be made public. There are a good many reasons why you should use Federal ice, but the only reason we ask you is that we offer you as good a product as you can buy and a service unexcelled. We are not offering you any exces sive weights that would disappoint you later. LAKELAND ICE DELIVERY CO. Adv. .0 G. Stone, Mgr. 666 Cures Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever.
