Land OF MANY Thirsts.

The Egyptian never travels without
his goolah. He fills it with filtered
water and in the morning can COM
mand a pint or more of water cooled
by evaporation through the unglazed
clay. This precious fluid he does not
waste on unsatisfied thirst. Taking off
the long white wrap and the piece of
cloth that covers his head during sleep,
the native pours the water over his
head, neck and hands. The European,
with all his instinct for cleanliness,
seeks first to relieve his overmastering
thirst.

as plaques, but the dust thirst is the
worst. Every pore is sealed; the throat
