The Use of Water at Meals.

Opinions differ as to the effect of free
ingestion Of water at meal times, but
the view most generally rece ived is
probably that 1t dilutes the gastric
Juice and so retards digestion. Apart
from the fact that moderate delay in
the process is by no means a disadvan-
tage, as Sir William Roberts has shown
In his explanation of the popularity of
tea and coffee, 1t is more than doubt
full whether any such effect is in reality
produced. When ingested during
meals, water may do good by washing
out the digested food and by exposing
the undigested part more thoroughly
to the action of the digestive ferments.
Pepsin is catalytic body, and given
quantity will work almost indefinitely
provided the peptones are removed as
they are formed. The good effect of
water drunk freely before meals has,
however, another beneficial result-it
washes away tie mucus which is Sc
creted by the mucous membrane dur
ing the intervals of repose, and favors
peristalis of the whole alimentary tract.
The membrane thus cleansed is in a
much better condition to receive food
and convert 1t into soluoble compounds.
The accumulation of mucus is especial
ly we'll 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 tenacious coating,
which for time protects it from the
action of the gastric ferments, and SC
retards digestion. The tublar contract
ed stomach, with its puckered mucus
lining and viscid contents, a normal
condition in the morning before break
fast, is not suitable to receive food. Elk
ercise before partaking of meal simu
lates the circulation of the blood and IA
cilitates the flow of blood through the
vessels. A glass of water washes ou
muscous, partially distends the stom
ach, wakes up peristalsis, and preser
yes the alimentary canal for the morn
ing meal. Observation has shown tina
non-irritating liquids pass through tn
"tubularn stomach and even if food b.
present, they only mix with it to
slight extent. According to DR.. Lieut.
who has made this subject specia
istudy, cold water should be given t,
persons who have sufficient vitality t
react, and hot water to others. Il

beneficial to drink warm or hot waite
before meals, and salt is said in mos
cases to add to the good effect produc

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Columbus Man Murders Married
Woman and Kills Himself.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. "A most hor-
rible murder and suicide occurred at lib
East Rich street at Ct this morning.
Tunis Amack, divorced man, shot and
instantly killed Mrs. Elizabeth Ander-
son, a woman who had separated from
her husband and of whom Amack had
become enamored. Amack was di-
vorced man with three children, the
eldest being boy 20 years of age. Mrs.
Anderson had also three children, one
son 20. Amack had known Mrs. An
derson for some time and had been
greatly smitten with her. She signified
her intention of going back to her hus-
band some days ago and Amack threat
ened to kill her and himself too if this
was done.
This morning Mrs. Anderson got up
in her night clothes to split some kind
ling with q hatchet, preparatory to
cooking breakfast. Amack came to the
rear door of the house. and immediate
ly the neigebors saw the two scuffling
and then both disappeared into the
house. The landlord from whom Mrs.
Anderson rents started to separate the
combatants, but before he could reach
the house three shots rang out and
Amack darted out of the side yard. He
was asked what the matter was, and re-
piled "nothing in particular"
The landlord entered the house and
found the body of the woman lying
weltering in her blood, one shot having
passed clear through her, ranging from
the breast bone and coming out be-
tween the shoulder blades. Another
went through her brain, while the third
went wild. The right side of her head
was smashed in, probably with the
hatchet.
The policemen pursued the murderer
to his boarding house, but he was too
fleet for them, and, rushing up stairs
he aroused his son, told him what he
had done, and ordered him from The
room, saying he was going to kill him
self. Soon after shot was heard anG
the officers on bursting open the dool
found Amack lying on the bed dead
with bullet hole through his righ
side and smoking 38-calibre revolve
by his side. A young man sleeping il
the room was not awakened by the sho
and knew nothing of the affair unit
the arrival of the officers. Amack wa'
employed by an installment house
while Mrs. Anderson owned fine farm
west of the city.

This house is occupied by man and his
wife without children, and In housekeep-
ers' language they edo not keep a girl"
The lady has everything convenient and is
not disturbed by the necessary work of
housekeeping.
The reception hall in front is 10.6 by l3.
The lady was quite certain it would never
be used as a room. Soon after it was occu-
pied it was furnished with lounge, two
chairs, table and a lamp stand. The
room lettered "parlor," was used as a sit
ting room, and might, in case OF emer-
gency, be used as bedroom. The dining
room in that event would be the sitting
room for the most part. In this dining
room are two closets. One is properly the
sitting room closet; that is, it would nat
urally contain such articles as are in use
in a sitting room.
There is china closet in one corner O.!
the dining room, and near this the slide
which opens into the kitchen. Thus one
can stand in this corner of the room and
take the dishes from the kitchen table, and
put them in the china closet. This is alto
gether much handler than walking around
through the doors to the table, and repeat
ing the operation until everything is
placed. This china closet has glass doors
above and paneled doors below. With
some pretty cups hanging on the hooks
and a proper arrangement of china 1t
would be very pretty feature. The bed
room is separated from the front room by
sliding doors. This was suggestion OF
the owner. l believe it would be found
more desirable either to have no opening
from the chamber to the parlor or to hang
the door on hinges, for the reason that
O hinged door is tight and close, and slid
ing door is not. If there were no door al
all between the chamber and the parlol
there could be sliding door connecting
the parlor with the dining room.
The closet connecting with the chamber
is quite large, and has window to the
outside A window in closet is great
help. This closet would inevitably bt
dark without light of this kind. A darl
closet is always in confusion, and one that
is light is more liable to be in good order
BY this change in arrangement this closet
could be made into a bathroom. In this
event the back end of the pantry wal
would be pushed out on line with the enc

PLAN.

Of the back porch. This would make the
bathroom of proper size, and If porch
were desired in the rear it could be placed
back of the kitchen. In having the bath
room arranged in this way the closet would
be back of the chamber in the 81" formed
by the side pantry and bathroom wall and
the back chamber wall. This arrangement
of bathroom would give short connections
of plumbing, and would altogether be
very satisfactory.
The kitchen of this house is quite con-
venient. At the sink there is cistern and
we'll water. and above the sink at suf-
ficient height there are shelves and hooks
for utensils, under each table there Is a
draweS, and beneath the sink an open
space for pots and kettles. At the fue is
the range. Thus everything is within
reach. The cellar stairway is near. The
pantry door is at the end of the kitchen
table, and in the pantry Is place for an
Ice chest, which has a drain pipe for carry
ing the drip to the outside. The window
Is the right height from the floor, 30 that
the Ice can be put in without coming into
the kitchen. The hinges may not be on
the right side of the refrigerator to make
this convenient, but it is suggested that
the hinges be changed from the back to the
side Of the lid, SO when open it rests against
the side wall of the pantry.
This house was built complete for 81 800
The inside finish was hard yellow pine.
The outside walls were sheathed, papered
and weather boarded.

A RAILROAD OBSTRUCTION.
Judge Miller Fines a Freight Conductor
for Blocking "a Crossing.

Judge Miller OF the Police Court thinks
something should be done toward taking the
railroad tracks OF grade and either elcvsting
or depressing them. In the Police Court Yes
terday when Frank Pristole. a freight con-
ductor, was on trial for obstructing the L street
crossing on the Metropolitan branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. the principal
witnesses for the District were business men in
the locality where the alleged obstruction oc-

court that he was on "a siding" at the time

Judge Miller in deciding the case said that
the railroad charters gave them certain priv
iieges. They have to make up their trains and
SHIFT the cars from one place TO another. but IN
doing SO they must keep within the police reg
ulatlons which are thrown around them for the
benefit of citizens. The tracks. the court
thought. should be so constructed as 10 avoid
the necessity of such regulations. A fine Of

MANY LITTLE ONES LOST.
Fourteen Children Astray Give the
Police Considerable Work.

The police telephones were kept in constan I
use last night by anxious parents who were
looking for their lost children. Within one
hours time messages were sent out for the
police to look out for fourteen children. This
unusual number of lost children was attributed
to the beauty of the night and warm weather.
In many instances the children were out with
their parents or nurses and were permitted TO
play about in the parks and when the time for
going nome arrived the children were not to
found. All the children except one were re-
turned to their parents at an early hour. The
last one was Edna Houck who strayed off from
Mount Vernon Square. 1t was nearly ii O'Clock
when a message was received that the lost
one 8 mother was nearly crazed on account of
the absence of her child, and it was then
learned that a child had been picked up near
9Th and Boundary streets. When the father of
Edna arrived at the house TO which the little
one had been taken he found his little child IN
bed asleep.
