WHAT TO DRINK.
Some Advice Which May Be Followed
with Beneficial Re-
suits.

The best time to drink water or
other liquids in quantity is on rising,
an hour aud half before luncheon
and dinner, and half an hour before
retiring.
Generally speaking, says Youths
Companion, people do not drink wa
ter enough, or il they do, it is at the
wrong time. Water may be taken at
the close of a meal, but if many
glasses are drunk with meals, dis
orders of digestion may follow. In
fact, the desire to drink water copi-
ously at meal time is often an evi-
dence of indiges ton. Not more than
two glasses of water or other liquid
should be taken at meal time, and
practically no water should be drunk
when soup is served.
Hot water may be taken on rising
and@retiring for those who are sensi-
tive to cold during the winter
months. Hot water is soothing and
quickly absorbed. It stimulates the
secretion of bile, especially if the
liver is repeatedly signaled by taking
the water in sips. Cold water in the
morning is to be preferred if there
is constipation.
Pure water washes waste products
from the system, but impure water,
although it may be rendered safe by
boiling, is of little use in removing
waste from the system. The pro-
tracted use of hot water internally
is debilitating, as is also its too free
use externally. Ice water, unless
slipped slowly, retards digestion. Wa
ter that is refreshingly cool is best
at all times when there is no good
excuse or reason for the use Of hot
water.
eggs and cereals, but not with meat;
| and it should not be used as a beyer-
age when vegetables are eaten. It
should be slipped after any food in
the mouth is swallowed. Coffee goes
| with meat, as do also cereal coffees
land water
Tea may be taken with eggs and
| fish, but should not be taken with
meat. The tannin of the tea hardens
| the meat fiber. Water goes with
everything, but is best taken in
quantity on an empty stomach. Dys-
| pepsia often begins in childhood, and
is due to allowing children to drink
too freely with their meals, espe-
cially children who are convalescing
from diseases which affect the mu-
cous membranes, such as measles,
scarlet fever, diphtheria and whoop-
ing cough.

for the women. OF course any little
chap feels pretty badly cut up over
bein' away from home, and all that,
but us fellows know how. to handle
him, and when we jolly him bit and
tell him he will be home by bedtime
he gets to feelin' first rate. He'd keep

FOR A RAINY DAY.
Stylish GOssamer Garments Have
Removed the Terrors OF
Wet Weather.

Rainy weather no longer holds any
terrors for these who would look
their best on all occasions and at all
times; because the evolution of wet
weather apparel has turned ugly, un-
becoming garments into things Of de-
light, says American Queen. For in
stance, the old-fashioned waterproof,
which gave more effect of walking
architectural column than anything
else, is no longer to be seen. In its
place are gossamer-like coats, styl-
ish and becomingly made, which
hang gracefully from the shoulders
and extend to a convenient distance
from the ground. These waterproofs
do not, like the old ones, drag down
ones skirts, making them wetter
than if no overcoats were worn.
And then there is the short skirt,
which admits Of the dispensing of the
rain coats altogether. These are cut
in variety of designs, with side
plaits, box plaits, yokes and elabo-
rate stitching. The young woman who
knows how to stand and to carry
herself is as presentable and stylish
in rainy weather clothes as in ball
or reception gown. This skirt
should be at least four inches from
the ground-several inches shorter
than the pedestrian skirt, which
touches at the back. The hat should,
If possible, be in keeping with the
costume. and always becoming. There
are many rainy-day models which
might not become your individual
type. The attraction of natty wet

of all it's accessories. When woman

doesn't know any better'-that is
all.
The high-laced calf shoes are tho
correct thing and they should be ex-
ira high; that is, they should extend
| at least half way to the knees and
| the soles should be of extra thick
| ness.
