Sherwood, state analysts of the Kansas State Board of Health and members of the University faculty, have announced the results of experiments using an Escherichia coli bacteria to live in pop, soda water, and carbonated soft drinks. The experts recommend that no water should be used in the manufacture of a carbonated drink that is in the least suspicious, and if a doubtful water is the only source of supply, this should be subjected to treatment by some method of sterilization, with subsequent filtration through a trustworthy and efficient filter. It was a common belief among manufacturers that so long as the water was clear and sufficiently soft to carbonate well, no thought need be given to its sanitary quality as the carbon dioxide under pressure would kill any living organism.
