DRINK WATER PLENTIFULLY.
For Nervous Diseases II Is Especially
Good,


The general tendency of people is
not TO drink water enough. Pure water
itself cannot be unwholesome, unless
il is taken at too low temperature,
when food is eaten. The reason for
this is that digestion stops until the
cold water in the system is brought
up TO the proper Temperatures.
We have proof that an insufficient
quantity of drinking water is a frequent
source of disease. George Henry Fox.
NJ. d., professor of diseases of the skin
in the New York Colleg. CT Physicians
and Surgeons, says in recent article
on this subject: 1T is quite certain
that few people drink too much water
and ! feel sure that many unpleasant
feelings and symptoms of actual dis
ease would actually disappear if the
sufferers appreciated the value of this
best and cheapest of all remedies (pure
water)." DR.. Charles L. Dana, professor
of nervous diseases in the New York
POSTGRADUATE Medical school. in an
article on diet in nervous diseases. SAYS:
water should be drunk between meals
or before meals and moderate amount
at meals. At least three pints or about
six tumblerfuls. should be taken daily.
American neurotics do not drink water
enough. They have half dessicated

MARRIAGES IN HALLS.
Yielding to the Parents Desire to Give
the Young Couple n start.


There IS no special glory in being
married in public hall. fashionable
or otherwise. 1t is merely n question
of yielding to the parents desire to
give the young couple snowy start
upon their matrimonial career. The
proper place for wedding and for all
domestic matters is ones house. and, il
ones house is too small for a large GER
emonial, do not indulge in the eNtrav-
agance of a big reception, but limit
the invitations to the nearest relatives
and friends.
The latest device of people who wish
TO be fashionable is to have the en-
gagement reception take place in ho-
tel or hall This is even worse than the
public and expensive wedding. 1t is
hard TO say what other domestic mat
tiers may in time be celebrated in public
places.
Why cannot people understand the
lesson of the day-a sensible economy?
The fact that gentleman is likely to
give his daughter public wedding IN
handsome hall is in no sense an in
ducement to the expectant bridegroom,
and il is not likely that the bride pre-

LONG COATS IN VOGUE.
The Latest Fashions In woman's Over
wear.


Long coats are coming again in
vogue. 1t is one garment in ward
robe which is always acceptable, for IL
combines comfort with an especially
smart look. One may have short jack
cts, capes, large and small, but occa-
sions are especially frequent when long
coats are just the thing TO wear. The
coy warmth they hold is always a
recommendation TO the growing las
sic. The very latest mode is de-
sign which is easily handled. The fur
trimming and collar may be substi-
tuted for cloth, velvet plush or astra-
khan. 1t is well adapted for rain
cloak also. In this case il should he
made of waterproof cloth and may or
not have trimming of braid about
the collar and cuffs. This will exactly
suit those who object to rubber goods.
Also for young people is given Il
winter costume. 1t is developed in
plaid canvas cloth and powder blue vel
vet. 1t is pretty design and devel-
oped in palmer goods will make
comfortable frock for school wear.

soft wool goods and bright Innings and
you have a garment which cannot be

And now that the skirts, like the

SHE NEVER PLAYED AGAIN.
And She Probably Called Him n Brrt
Several Times

She leaned forward upon the CONCERT
grand piano and sobbed bitterly. He sat
with averted face and cynical smile
upon his lips. By and by she somewhat
recovered herself, and almost forgetting
what had happened, began to play u
weird, dreamy fantasy, one that he had
always loved in the good old days
when they had never dreamed of family
jars.
Lightly her fingers sped over the
ivory keys, bringing out tones and mel
odies of which an old master might be
proud, and as the music continued and
hecame more dreamy and sounded
further and further away, he covered
his eyes with his hands and his frame
shook with convulsive sobs.
She was at his side in an instant, and
sinking upon her knees before him.
softly asked
Jack. dear, has my music melted

He made no reply, but still kept his
face buried in his hands.
