WATER OUR TRUE BEVERAGE
"Water is really our only true bever-
age" Mrs. S. Il. Rorer writes in her
cooking lesson in the December Ladies'
Home Journal. Forming, as it does,
three. quarters of the weight of the
human body it is of the next impor-
tance to the air we breathe. Milk is
typical food, not beverage, and
should never be used as such. 1t is
true that it contains large amount
of water, but only sufficient for its
digestion.
"In 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
the circulation and through the ex-
cretory organs, is held in the system
the body loses weight, the skin be-
comes dry and rough, losing its life
and brilliancy. Three-quarters of the
weight of the living body should be
water. A large quantity of this water
is taken in the form of green vegeta-
bles and fruits. A healthy person
should drink at least quart and a
half of cool-not iced-water in each
"a hours-a glass the first ching in the
morning and the last thing at night,
and the remaining quantity after or
between meals. Infants frequently
suffer more from the lack of cool
water than from the lack of food"

COMMENCE TODAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
% MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, it is natural, Therefore that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one OF the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families in the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven,,
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of O single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is TO the individual
who does not give his name to q clubmaker
but sends it direct to this Office. In clubs,
how ,ver, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he is expected to pay US. Now to our
prOnOSiti0ns.

To PRESERVE PoRK.-A Tennessee
farmer told "Journal" representa-

would spoil. To preserve it he adopt

early day. AS soon as the meat was
cut up it was placed in boiling water
kept there until heated in the marrow,
then taken out and salted. 1t took salt

STORING SEED CoRN.-Seed corn is
liable to injury during the winter un-
less it is stored in dry place. There
is considerable moisture in corn, and
it can be affected by frost. Selected
corn is hung up in loft, where it is
warm and dry, and also examined
frequently. 1t is important to give
seed corn attention, as failure to ger
inmate during the spring may throw
next years crop back by compelling
replanting.
