DRINKING WATER.
How Much We should Drink Depends
Upon Circumstance.

According to Professor Allen says The
Medical Times, we should drink from one
third to two ifths as many ounces as we
weigh in pounds. Therefore, for man
weighing los pounds there would be re-
ouired So to GA ounces daily, or from IA
to pints
This The journal of Hygiene regards
as a very indefinite answer. The quantity
of water required depends on the season OF
the wear, the amount of work done and
the kind of food eaten. In hot weather we
REQUIRE more than in cold because of the
greater loss through the skin, though this
is in part made up ~ the lesser quantity
passed away through the kidneys. If
man labors very hard, he requires more
than if his labor is light. A man working
in a foundry where the temperature Is
high and the respiration profuse, not in
frequently drinks three or four gallons
daily.
If the food be stimulating and salty,
more water is required than If II Ire bland.
Negetarians and those who use much fruit
require less water than those who cat salt
fish and pork, and often get along on none
except what is in their food In most
cases our instincts tell us how much water
to drink far better than any hard or fixed
rule. For ages they have been acquiring n
knowledge of how much to drink and
transmitting that knowledge to descend
ants, and If we follow them we shall not
go far out OF the way.
1t is of more use to us to know that pure
water is essential. and that impure water
is one of the most dangerous of drinks,
than to know how much of it is required
daily. If one live in ii region where the
water is bad. il should he boiled and put
away in bottles we'll corkcd in an ice chest,
and in addition one should eat all the fruit
one can. if fruit agrees. ruits contain
not only pure water, hut salts which are
needed to carry on healthlully the func-
tions Of life.

OBITUARY,

Miss Ida Mabel Peters, died at Bluehill
March Il. She was the daughter Of Moses
Peters, OF Sargentville, where she passed
her early years, and received her educa-
tion in the public schools. Slender in
form, and of delicate health, she was
quick in intellect, true to her convictions
and firm in maintaining them. She held
a high rank as school teacher, by her
readiness in discerning the needs, abil-
titles and dispositions of her pupils, and
by her skill and tact in interesting them
in study and awakening i'll them noble
aims and high endesvors.
For some time she was employed in the
watch factory at Waltham, Mass, where
her quiet manner, gentle disposition and
her sympathy for those in suffering and
helping hand for those needing aid and
care gained for her many friends. Never
robust, during the last years OF her life she
was an invalid. A part OF this time and
nearly all of the past year she had been
in the family of Sewsll Snowman, Mrs.
Snowman being sister of her father.
In this home with her relatives she re-
ceived the sympathy, affection and pa
tient care they would bestow on one OF
their own number. She was hopeful dur
ing her illness; life was very sweet to her
the world, in good sense, IN its pure
friendsk Ups, in its refined, cultivated So
ciety, and as a place for usefulness, was
attractive. She knew, however, that God s
will and way were best The last month his
