Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

You people who are looking for a home and an investment could not possibly do any better than buy a three-famly house have for sale on Vine street. To begin with it pays 10 per cent on S4,9OO, and you can purchase it for $4,6oO, and only need to put $500 down. In addition to these advantages the house is in splen- did condition. You could move in to- morrow and you wouldn't have to spend 10c on repairs; even the gas fixtures are expensive, the wall paper Is pretty, the woodwork has been newly painted and is nice and clean, and it has a garden with thousands of plants in it. The question is-where could you get such good house for the money? If you started to build one the house itself would cost $4G0O, and the lot would probably cost you $1,50O. When you get values like these placed before you, you should consider carefully before buying any, thing else. . ~q@

 Waterbury, August 31. Joseph H. Vail Secretary Connecti- cut Commission, St Louis Exposi- tion: Dear Sir:-Your idea of having a joint exhibit of pocket cutlery at the St Louis exposition impresses me as being a good one. The separate ex- hibits would not be apt to be success ful for many reasons, but think this idea is shrewdly adapted to bring out the desired results for the public and the individual exhibitors. This com pany would be glad to do it's part to a greater or less extent, as may be as- signed to it by those who have the matter in charge. We will share in the exhibit, the work, the expense, or all. Yours truly,

10 Please His Critics.

Half century ago Wagner was Sc
verely criticised in London for con-
Quoting concerts without score. He
was giving some Beethoven concerts,
and he knew the masters symphonies
by heart. After the first performance
one of the London papers scolded the
composer of 'Tannhauser" for directing
the symphony without score in front
of him. At the next concert young
Wagner had a book of music open be-
fore him on the desk. The following
day the same newspaper printed a
commendatory article, which praised
him for his better Interpretation of
Beethoven, the improvement due, of
course, to the use Of the score. Wag-
ner announced for the benefit of his
critic that the score in front of him

Where They Were Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
erality distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
of the country. In his book on THE
Overland Stage to California" Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overland
mails were sometimes relieved. Be-
fore the daily mail went into operation,
and when a stage went to Salt Lake
City only once a week, some of the
boys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail matter
came quite handy at times. Occasion
ally the drivers, as they themselves
said, would. get stalled going through
a bad slough in rough weather, and
would be unable to move. In that
case they were obliged to take out sack
after sack of the Pub. Docs.," open the
bags, and pile the massive books from
the government printing Office into the
slough, and by building solid foun-
dation with them, were enabled thus to
pull the coach out of the mire.

and drink circulates into the mi
nutest parts of the body, dissolves,
absorbs and carries out with it the
unused and waste tissues, organic
and mineral matters which poison
and impede the action of the sys-
tenn. It purifes blood and tissues,
washes away all the poisons which
produce rheumatism, govt, conges-
ton of the liver, kidneys and other
organs.
So in a general way we may see
that the ingestion of water is essen
tiaI to life and essential to health,
and it may be safely said that the
health will improve in exact ratio
to the amount of pure water taken
in. Many cases of indigestion may
be remedied by proper cleansing of
the mouth and teeth. How much
morei important is the cleansing of
those more important digestive or
gans-the stomach and the intes-
tines!
The poisonous products of life ac-
cumulate rapidly, and unless these be
eliminated produce a large class of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." These toxins
give rise to rheumatism, govt, sore
throat, common colds, headaches, and
a long train Of maladies with which
all are familiar. The faulty action
of these eliminative organs is re-
sponsible for the piling up of poi
sons, lowering the resistance of the
body to disease, destroying the So
called natural immunity" and per-
hitting freer action of the disease
germs which may have gained access
to the body in any way. Thus it
may be seen that the simple mechani-
cal action Of pure water may pre-
vent a long list Of pathologic condi-
tions by wholly removing the cause.

HEALTH NOTES
THE ELIXIR OF LIFE:
The Plentiful Use of Pure Water is Is
sential to Health.

SGUL1d1 TO hCd4Ius
The vast majority of us drink wa
ter simply because we are impelled
to do so by the sense of thirst, with
out considering It's necessity in the
maintenance of health. Yet all
thoughtful medical men must agree
with the well-known dietician, who
says, that drinking not enough wa
ter is the greatest and most common
of dietetic errors" To fully under
stand why the omission of a liberal
amount of drinking water is so grave
a crime against the laws of health,
we must understand what water can
do in the prevention of disease; and
to realize this fully we must know
the function of drinking water in
health.
A most scientific and discriminate
ing professor in physiology asked his
advanced class the chief use of wa
ter to the body, and he was well salts
fed with the simple and practical
answer, ITO wash the body out" The
"internal bath" is far more essential
to health than the external BATH"
just as much more important as the
internal organs are to it than the
skin, and it must be obvious that for
cleansing these organs, pure, clean
water is essential.
There is a perpetual water famine
In most human systems. a condition
of things to which is accorded the
responsibility of the sad fact that
the delicate flowers of human youth
and beauty so soon fade away. The
most amateurish gardener needs no
lessons on the value, of water for
the welfare of his plants, but few
indeed are the keepers of the price
less blossoms of human life who real
ize the necessity for the same deli
ciOus draughts of supporting vitali-
ty. Women in particular abhor the
simple glass of water, slipping tea,
cupful after cupfuI, doting upon
their breakfast coffee, but of water
quafing not a drop for days, even
in summer; preferring the sugary
pleasures of the soda counter to of
fering their scorched threats a swal-
low of refreshing water.
The correct, adequate performance
of every function of the body de-
ponds upon the quantity and quality
of water taken into the system daily.
If the water is scanty or impure,
every organ is retarded, the free cir
culation of the blood through the
microscopic capillary tubes, one of
life's most important processes, is
seriously interfered with, the depura-
ton through various organs and
