WATER OUR TRUE BEVER-

In Sustaining Life 1T is Next in
Importance to the Air We
Breathe.

"Water is really our only true bev-
erage," Mrs. 8. T. Rorer writes in her
cooking lesson in the December Lad
les Home Journal. "Forming, as it
does, three-quarters of the weight of
the human body it is of the next i'm
portance to the air we breathe Milk
is typical food, not a beverage, and
should never be used as such. 1t is
true that it contains large amount
of water, but only sufficient for its d.
gestion.
"In a very short time the non water
drinker becomes sallow, constipated
and uncomfortable. The poison mat
ter that should be dissolved by the
free use of water, and carried off in
in the circulation and though the ex-
cretory organs, is held in the system;
the body losses weight, the skin be.
comes dry and rough, tossing its life
and brilliancy. Threequarters of the
weight of the living body should be
water. A large quantity of this water
is taken in the form of green veg
etables and fruits. A healthy person
should drink at least a quart and a
half of cool (not iced) water in each
twenty-four hours-a glass the first
thing in the morning and the last
thing at night, and the remaining
quantity after and between meals.
Infants frequently suffer more from
the lack of cool water than from the
lack of food"
