TAKE WATER FOR MEDICINE.
A Health Producer Which Is Avail
able Everywhere.

able Everywhere.
There Is no doubt that we do not
drink enough. Our bodies consist
largely Of water, and the average man
needs to drink from four to six pints
of water daily In order to maintain
health. This is the amount of water
eliminated from the body by means Of
the kidneys, the skin and lungs. 1t is
evident that a fresh supply is constant
ly needed to supply this lost aid in the
process Of digestion and carry away
waste matter
If the amount Of water imbibed Is
not sufficient for all this. the health
must suffer. Air water and food are
the essentials of life in the order given.
A person can fast a long time-cX-
periments have proved this--but that
same person could not get along with
out water for that length Of time.
AS usual thing women are the ones
who suffer the most from an INSULT
cheney Of water. Mothers should see
to it that their children have plenty Of
water TO drink.
There is a diversity Of opinion re-
garding drinking at meals. Some as
sert that the practice is injurious. as it
dilutes the gastric juice. Others again
claim that giasSful Of pure drinking
water taken during the process of mas
tication is healthful. On one point,
however. all authorities agree namely.
that Ice water is injurious.
Generally speaking. the theory advO
Gated by the best physicians nowadays
Is to drink often and much. 1t cleanscs

helps to make a clear complexion.
Therefore, ye men and women. the lat
ter especially, drink. Take clear. pure,

But their pleading seemed OF no
avail. The elder PasdetOuts shook
their gray heads firmly in negation,
though it was evident that the neces-
sity of refusing their daughters re-
quest panied them beyond measure.
Gently, but with decision. as one
shakes a hard shelled crab from out a
scalp net, the parents disentangled
their daughters arms from their Shout
ders; then, mastering his emotions, the
father said:

you ask of us Is too much. Never be-

THE MYSTERY OF DREAMS,
A Case In which the COincidences
Were RemarknbIc

Were Remarkable.
On one occasion during the civil war
l dreamed that | was standing beside
a road when there came marching
along II strong column of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the TANKS.
l asked one OF these guards who the
prisoners were and where they had
been captured. He Informed me that
they had been taken In IN engagement
with the enemy on the day before and
that there were 1900 of them. then
asked some bystunder what day of the
month II was and was told 1t was such
a day OF a certain month. some six
weeks later than the date of the dream
The whole dream was extremely dis.
tinct. and 1t made strong impression
on me. related II TO n number of my
comrades within the next few days
and then thought of 1t no more.
Six weeks later on the morning of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the col
umn of prisoners had passed before
me, was on picket two miles distant
from the point where had seemed
TO be when saw them. 1t was soon
after breakfast. and | was standing
by the side of the road NJ the fire talk
ing 10 the officer of the picket when an
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been
schoolfellow of our officers ut West
Point, and he refined up when he recog-
nized his friend. He told us that he
had good news; that there had been
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured 1000 prisoners. who had just
passed the headquarters that morning
on their way to the rcar.-St Louis

SUCCESS AND FAILURE.
The Higher the Purpose the Rarer
the Achievement.

The Higher the Purpose the Rnrer
the Achievement.
If by success we mean the full ac-
complishment Of an end, the actual
reaping of harvest of results, then 1t
is undoubtedly true that the higher
and nobler the purpose the rarer will
be the success. If we aim to relieve n
mans hunger, we can quickly succeed
in the easy task, but If we aim to in
spire him with desire to earn his own
bread the work Is more difficult and
the success far more problematlcal.
If we would restrain thief from rob-
berry, the prison bars and locks insure
success, but If we would make an hon
est man Of him our task is complex
one, and success may be afar off. We
undertake to teach n child to read. If
with requisite effort we follow up our
task, we are successful but If we as
pire to raise the educational standard
of our community how arduous the
task, how uncertain the result, how
questionable the success!
The low man secs little thing to do,
Sees it and does It;
The high man, with great thing to pursue.
Dies ere he knows 1t.
Is his life, then, failure? No; let
us never imagine that any high pur-
pose, any noble thought, any generous
emotion, any earnest effort, Is ever lost
We may never witness its growth. we
nay not live 20 gather its fruit or even
see its blossoms. but we may safely
st that somewhere and at some
the harvest will be abundant, and
