How to Drink Water.

A beginning of kidney trouble lies
in the fact that people, especially
women, do not drink enough water.
They pour down tumblerfuls of ICE
water as an accompaniment to NEAL
but that is worse than no water, the
chill preventing digestion, and 1nol-
gestion being an indirect promoter OF
kidney disease. A tumbler OF water
slipped in the morning Immediately
on rising, another at night, are rec
commended by physicians. Try 60
drink as little water as possible with
meals, but take a glassful half an
hour to an hour before eating. This
rule persisted in day after day, month

be slipped, as well as taken sparingly

Cooking and Divorce suits.

Poor cooking and untidy house
keeping was the underlying cause OF
the severing of the marital bonds of
four hundred couples in Chicago last
year, according to Ernest P. Bicknell,
general superintendent of the Chi
cago Bureau of Charities. This state
ment was made by Mr.. Bicknell be-
fore gathering of students at the
University of Chicago. The four hun
dren cases, to which he referred, were
those that actually came under his
notice in the Pursuance of his official
duties. Lax methods of housekeep-
ing on the part of a woman formed
the cause in each instance, he said,
for their desertion by husbands. The
wife would then apply for divorce on
the ground of desertion, though pri-
marily she was responsible for the
trouble. Each of the four hundred
cases came to Mr.. Bicknell's notice
through the deserted wives applica-
ton to the Bureau of Charities fol
assistance.

ITALIAN Women at Home.

Even In towns and in good circum

countries. Not stitch is done In inc

They often spin and make their own
linen, rear their own silk-worms, kni'

perintend all the baking, cleaning, anu
cooking of the house, even If they 90
not positively do the work with their
own hands.
They study carefully the tastes OF
their husbands; bonny brides, even III

Child Labor in Factories.

There is great awakening taking
place in this country on the subject of
child labor, and protests are being
heard in all directions against the
employment of boys and girls in fac
tories especially. 1t is alleged that
young children are being systemati-
cally overworked in the cotton mills
of the South, at the instance of cap
italists who by the aid of this cheap
labor seek to compete with the older
Mills of New England. On the other
hond il ia denied that conditions in
the sonth are worse than elsewhere;
and it is charged that the cry against
child labor has been raised by the
New England mill owners in order Go
iniure the cotton-spinning business
in the South.
Great indignation has been aroused
at disclosures in Illinois which show
that that state employs more children
than any other. The state has Ia"
forbidding child laber in factories
Init it is said that the parents yer!
commonly overstate the age OF tnel
children in order to put them to WORK
tt is stated that illiteracy among chill
dren of school age in that state Is IN
creasing, as a result of the practlc'
of setting boys and girls to WORK u
earn money instead of keeping then
in school.

BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CATARRH
THAT CONTAIN MERCURY,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
tenn when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians. as the damage they will do is ten
fold to the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o.. contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucuos surfaces
of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. 1t is taken in

PRICE ONE GENT
AN ELECTRICAL FIREMAN
To Precede The Firemen To Fires
And Look After The
Live Wires.

A new departure in fire fighting is
oeing discussed bv members of the In
dependent Fire Company and will
come mp Tor decision at the next meet
ing OF which, if adopted. will place
TINS company in the fore front of any
volunteer company in the state.

lnatIon of danger to iremen coming
IN contact with live wires while en-.
gagged in fighting a fire. Some very
severe lessons were learned as a result
Qf the Wiegard and CLANCY fires. AT
these hres many firemen came in con.
tact with live wires which kept them
hopping around like n hen on hot
griddle. No one was seriously in
Jured. but bad shocks were received
by several. Since that time many more
electric wires of various natures have
been strung about the city and are now
a menace every time fire occurs on
a principakstreet.
lt is proposed to appoint q corps of
hremen 20 precede the apparatus TO the
nre whenever an alarm is sounded and
have the men make hurried inspeo-
ton OF the premises relative 10 the
condition OF wires surrounding the
lire. They will be provided with all
necessary implements for cutting
wires or tyeing them out of the way
OF the fire fighters. BY this means il
IS hoped TO prevent many serious
shocks and burns TO the men. In the
department are many men who have
had much experience in the matter of
electrical equipment and currents and
they will compose the corps which il
is intended to establish.

The Capital Congratulated.

Blushing modesty restraints the
Capital from making any extended
comment on the able manner in
which it covered the Army Navy game
Saturday. Like a we'll known medi-
cine it is advertised by its loving
friends. +" Many congratulations have
been received by the management for
the wide.awake business enterprise
shown in getting out paper contain
ing full and complete story OF the
game The game ended at 4. 30 O'Clock
and the last dispatch was received at
the Capital Office few minutes later.
Fifteen minutes after the game was
ended the Capital was being sold like
hot cakes on nearly every street in the
city.
1t contained complete running
story of the game. with the standing
of the two teams, the past scores and
data of IA general nature in addition
to the portraits of the principal play
ers on the Navy team and particularly
of those who were injured in play.
Mr.. H. Rodgers Gore was on the field
for the Capital and corps of trained
newspaper workers made it possibl
to whip the story into shape as it ap-
peared in the Capital. There was no
consideration of profit ON the part of
the Capital which prompted the close
attention to the game, but that effort
which has so strongly characterized it
to give to it's readers the very best OBJ
tainable in the newspaper line.

IVAN A MARINER
Subject of Morning Sermon AT Col
lege Avenue Baptist
Church.

Large congregations were in attend.
anee both morning and evening at the
College Avenue Baptist Church, wor.
shipping at the Assembly Rooms until
their church edifice is completed. In
the morning, the pastor, tie Rev.
Thomas p. Holloway. preached from
the text. Amos, Sth chapter and 18th
verse. /: They shall wander from sea
TO sea. The subject of the Sermon
was Man Mariner. Z" The minister
said in part;
"Human life is sea voyage and
every soul must take the VOYAGE. As
the sea mysteriously and persuasivelv
calls 10 many men TO spend their en-.
ergies in traversing its trackless sur
face so life with even deeper mystery
and power calls every person 10 launch
upon its bosom and face its unknown
experiences. The little child in the
home hears that strange call and the
four walls cease TO be the confines of
its world and the loved voices of father
and mother no longer the SOVEREIGN
notes of existence. The child feels
the breath of distant climes aud the
indetinable horizon line where earth
and sky seem TO meet chain his ewes
and fire his adventurous spirit.
1.-The wide sweep of the sea of life
must enamor the adventurous spirit
of man. The mating Of the sea of
life with the adventurous spirit of the
human soul results in the birth of ex-
periences, which, according TO whether
they are good or bad. become heirs of
heaven or the victims of hell. As life.
so like the sea, is uncertain and treach.
erous the only mariner who safely
sails the main is he who commits his
course to the Divine Pilot and steers
by the compass of Divine Truth. All
others make shipwreck and become
woeful and menacing derelicts on the
high seas.
Human life, like the sea, presents
the greatest opportunities for the cul-
tivation of the heroic in character.
The heroic sailor nails the flag of the
Kingdom of God to the masthead and
faces every storm and enters every
battle with the colors of Jesus Christ
streaming TO the breeze. Then the
Christian mariner after the struggles
are over, like the heroic Paul, gladly
awaits his departure to the other
world. The expression rendered in the.
English departure, means in the He
brew, simply the weighing of the an
Choir TO sail to the Home and Father
land. When the fioodtide of matured
life begins to swell to the full the
Christian sailor weighs anchor and
sails out under favoring breezes to the
Home of the Soul. the true Fatherland.
which is Heaven.
