Rainwater Good if You Like It.

“When a man gets used to drinking rainwater,” said a New Orleans man to the Washington Post, “there is no other water in the world that tastes so good. Most of the people in New Orleans have cisterns in tlieir yards which hold an abundant supply of water caught from the clouds, the purest and best in the world, according to my notion. The winter rainfall alone is used, the summer catch not being desirable. It Is somewhat curious that in northern latitudes the cistern water does not keep wholesome ami sweet as R does In our country.”
