WATER DRINKING BENEFICIAL.
When it is considered that the body
is made up very largely Of water it can
readily be understood how important
to health is a constant supply OF this
fluid. Many people have a notion that
the drinking of water in any amount
beyond that actually necessary to
quench thirst is injurious, and, acting
on this belief they endeavor to drink
as little as possible. The notion, how
ever, is wide of the truth. Drinking
freely of pure water is a most eff
cacious means not only of preserving
health, but often restoring 1T when
failing. All the tissues of the body
need water, and water in abundance
is necessary also for the proper per-
Torrance of every vital function.
Cleanliness Of the tissues within the
| body is as necessary to health and
| comfort as cleanliness Of the skin, and
| water tends to insure the one as truly
as it does the other. 1t dissolves the
| waste material, which would otherwise
collect in the body, and removes it in
the various excretions. These waste
materials are often actual poisons, and
| many headache, many, rheumatic
| pains and aches, many sleepless nights
| and listless days and many attacks of
| the blues" are due solely to the cir
| culatfon in the blood or deposit in the
tissues Of these waste matters, which
cannot be got rid Of because Of an in
sufficient supply Of water. Water is
accused of making fat and people with
tendency to corpulence avoid 1t for
that reason. But this is not strictly
true 1t does undoubtedly often in
crease the weight, but it does 50 be-
cause it improves. the digestion and
therefore more of the food eaten Is
utilized and turned into fat and flesh,
But excessive fat, which we call cor
pulence, is not a sign of health, but of
faulty digestion and assimilation, and
systematic water drinking Is often EN-
ployed as means of reducing the
superfiuous fat-which it sometimes
does with astonishing rapidity.-

The news from Washington this
morning Is important. The Spanish
government has asked for the recall of
Consul General Lee 1t has also made
the suggestion that it Is not proper for
the United States to send relief sup
plies in war ships to the Cuban recon-
centrados. The Spanish government
has been courteously and promptly told
that Consul General Lee is all right
and will not be recalled. And although
the matter is not quite clear it seems
probable that the Spanish suggestion
concerning the sending of supplies in
war ships has not been favorably re-
ceived by the government of this coun-
try.
If Spain does not insist these Incl
dents are already CLOSED" 1t is stated
that she has not yet insisted, and she
may not. If she should the President
would probably insist, and then there
would be much diplomatic talk. But it
is not at all probable that such Incl
dents will be made the basis Of serious
trouble.

Looking at the matter in coll
lective sense, the negro is totally
unfit to dominate and control af.
fairs in any of our cities. And
this is true, not because he is
negro, but rather on account of
his undcveloped state and tender
years with respect to the great
advance slresdy made in such af-
fairs by TIE white race. While
we COULD not, and do not: condoue
the many injustices practised upon
our poor people throughout this
entire country, yet we are not un-
mindful Of the fact that there is
such thing s"negro rowdyism," ="
and right here in this city we are
painfully certified on every hand
of the arrogance, wickedness and
shameless prohigacy of nn ever
increasing number of disreputable
negroes.
1t is not at all surprising that
such conditions should beget
strong desire to limit the suffrage
to those only who are "mentally,
morally and financially" prepared
to use it.

NEGROES ON NEGRO SUE
FRAGE.
Two Intelligent Race Leaders
Give Good Advice.

Booker T. Washington's Brooklyn
address.
1t must be apparent at this
time that the colored people into
a position to exercise the right of
franchise has not been a success
in. those portions of our own coun-
try where the negro is found in
large numbers. Either tho ne
gro was not prepared for any
such Wholesale exercise of the
ballot as our recent amendments
to the constitution contemplated,
or the American people were not
prepared to assist and encourage
him to use the ballot. In either
case the result has been the same.
Politics and the holding of Office
were emphasized almost to the
exclusion of every other interest,
and we accepted responsibilities
which our experience and educa-
tlon had not fitted us to perform
with success and credit.
To my mind the past and pres
ent teach but one lesson-to the
negro's friend and to the negro
himself that there is but one
way out, but one hope of solution,
and that is for the negro in every
part of a nericu to resolve that
his pillar of fle by night and
pillar of cloud by day shall be
property, skill, economy, educa-
ton and Christian character.
The individual or race that
owns the property, pays the tax,
possesses the intelligence and sub
stantisl character, is the one who
is going to exercise the greatest
control of government. The ne,
