CoLD-wATER DRINKING.
Doubtful Nursery Legend that Cold
Drinks Are Injurious.


Drinks Are Injurious.
Dietetic Gazette.
The American drinks water because he
is thirsty; he is thirsty because he sweats;
and he wants his water cold because he is
hot, the cooling of the system being de-
manded, but the cool temperature being
especially grateful to a heated throat.
What is the poor American to do? He is
threatened with mummification if he does
not drink water; he is appalled, by the
horrors of gastric catarrh If he does drink
water. The answer is obvious-drink water
between meals rather than at meals The
drier the meals the less dilute the gas
trio juice, the better theoretically at least
is the digestion. Fortunately the ordinary
and so. if he be in the ordinary condition,
he need not study the number OF drops OF
water he takes with his meal, but if he
have any disease of the stomach or feeble
ness of digestion it is we'll worth while to
count the drops.
Cold water has so good a taste when a
man is very heated that most people will
continue to take cold water, and a general
chilling of the body would seem sometimes
to be of service. Nevertheless there prob
ably are cases in which the sudden pour
ing of large masses of cold water upon
stomach in q person who has little re-
serve power has produced an immediate
violent disturbance. These cases are, how
ever in our opinion, few; indeed, our be-
lief in their existence may be due TO the
nursery teaching of our early childhood
since, If the truth must be spoken, IN
medical experience extending over thirty
five years we have never seen collie, col
lapse or any other acute symptom or con-
dition produced by q cold drink. But for
fear that the nursery boyle is the shadow
of truth we should advise our readers when
hot to drink cold water slowly. We re-

Those members of the Ministerial
Association who have been sweating
and sweltering under the tropical heat
of JOURNAL dissent will be but little
relieved by the lone, lorn little icicle
OF complaint discovered by Rev. Henry
Thomas.
The JOURNAL spoke generally, how
ever, rather than particularly, likening
the Association to the clergy at large,
which is no more regarded as a tax
paying body than as beer drinking
fraternity. The few who pay taxes no
more represent the mass than the few
who taste lager.
The JOURNAL will close at this point
by romarking that the notion slightly
pervading the Association that the
great paper is ''afraid to publish any
reply its members have to maken is
a roseate fragment of ecclesiastical
halluclnation.

What Might Have Been.

In their opposition to the appropria-
ton to the States military establish
ment Senator Dick and Delegate
Campbell were not accurate in the
statement that the militia was used
here in 1894 to compel the miners to
accept a 90 per cent. reduction in
wages
The true story is-a number of
miners were willing to work, but their
liberty to do so was threatened, not
only by Maryland miners, but by
numerous miners from West Virginia
and Pennsylvania.
The State of Maryland could not,
therefore, stand by and see its own
citizens menaced, perhaps dubbed
from their right to work.
Hence, the military arm was stretch
ed over both those who wanted to work
and those who did MOTTO keep them
from hurting each other.
And sit is faithful saying, worthy
of all acceptation," that there are peo-
pie to-day walking around and enjoy
ing life, seen, known and respected of
all men, who might be in their graves
and nearly forgotten, had not the
State come and stood between them
and the pitiless consequences of un-
lawful rule.

A Large Property Sold.

Mrs. l.. M. Gorsuch has sold all her
interest in the Savage Mountain Fire
brick Works, and, with her brother,
James Brown, general manager of the
Works, will remove to Baltimore with
in few weeks to reside henceforth in
that city. A goodly number of warm
Frostburg friends regret the turn
which induces them to leave.
The property is now owned by n.
|. Gorsuch, of Westminster, who has
appointed ex- postmaster John n. Ben
son general manager.
Frostburg's friedrich industry will,
therefore, go on with little interruption
of their accustomed activity.
1t is proper to add that the veteran,
Arthur Baker, will retain the lead in
the mechanical department.

Concerning the location of the Flee

ably needless to suggest to the com

location.

steep haul from Cumberland, and of
the longer but genter pull from West
