From The Indianapolis Star, Friday, July 28, 1916: The public drinking cup in Indiana will no longer be used after the end of the month. Harry E. Barnard, Indiana pure food commissioner, said the order of the state board of health means the passing of the old tin cup hanging by the town pump. The common bucket of drinking water with a dipper will no longer be passed around among shop workers and water containers in factories and stores with a spigot at the bottom and a glass tumbler nearby will also be prohibited. Concessionaires at county fairs and church socials must use disposable paper cups when serving drinks. One enterprising lemonade dealer on the downtown streets was recently arrested because he was taking used paper cups home, drying them out, and using them again the following day.
