Opinions differ a to the effect OF
the free ingestion Of water at meal
times, but the view generally Q
ceived is that it dilutes the gastric
Juice and so retards digestion. Apart
from the fact that q moderate
delay in the process is by no means q
disadvantage, as Sir Williams
Roberts has shown in bis explains
tions OF the popularity OF tea and
coffee, il is more than doubtful
whether any such effect is in reality
produced. When investigated dur
ing meals, water may do good by
washing out the digested food, and
by exposing the .stsssteS part
more thoroughly 20 the action c. the
digested ferment4.
Pepsin is tho c~atslyptic body, and
q given quaplty will work ain oss
indefinitely. provided the peptones
are removGd as they are formec.
The god effects of water drum {
freely before meals have. however.
anothgr beneficial result-it washes
away ~ muc 8 which is secreted by
the hauc,is -snbrane during the in
tervals OF repose and fasors per-
i~stalsis Of the whole alimentary
tract. The membrane thus cleansed
is in O much better condition to re-
ceive food and convert it into
soluble compounds.
The accumulation of nue. is
specially marked in the morning,
when the gastric walls are covered
with a thick, tenacious layer. Food
entering the stomach at this time
will become covered with this tena-
cious coating, which for q time pro-
tects il from the action OF the gastric
ferments, and so retards digestion.
The viscid contents, q normal con-
dition in the morning before break
fast. is not suitable to receive food.
Exercise before partaking of a meal
stimulates the circulation OF the
blood and facilitates the circulation of
the flow OF blood through the vessels.
A glass Of water washes out the
mucus, partially distends the stomach
wakes up peristalsis and prepares
the alimentary canal for the morning
meal. Observation has shown that
non-irritating liquids pass directly
through the tubular" stomach,
and even if food be present they
only mix with it to a slight extent.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Pittsburg Commercial. has a writer
who sermonizes on courtship very
we'll, indeed. This is his style:
As far as Stiffness is concerne d
there is probably as much Of it in
one sex as the other. Young men
are inclined to think the average
girl silly, but the mere fact that be
does think so proves that he is silly.
Girls giggle and chatter, and gossip.
but not more than boys; besides
they are not so profane and vulgar
about it.
The average young man likes
vulgar or even filthy stories. These
are not calculated to enrich his mind
or improve his morals. He thinks il
looks big to. swear, smoke drink,
and chew, and do many things that
he would not tolerate in q lady &C.
quaintance, much less in a wife.
Then, because a woman makes nj
her mind that she does not wan
that kind of a man for u husband
she is pointed ont as a crank or ole
maid.
When women give up husband
hunting they will have better luck
As it is now they are too anxious.
