Water prunkards.

DO you see that man across the
street," asked the doctor. We'll, he
is. in many ways, a most estimable
person. He is attentive to his bust
ness and successful at it; he is a
leader in his church; he is a good
husband and father; he doesn't smoke
and never touches alcoholic liquor
And yet that mamie doesn't know
it, but it's true-is a drunkard.
How can that be? III tell you.
He's a water drunkard- Fact At
this time of year there are lots Of
them who never suspect it As the
season grows hot they get to drink
ing more and more ice water and at
last they literally get the habit
They can't get along without the
pleasant shock which is given their
system every time they dump into
their heated stOmachs a glass or two
OF ice cold water. II means the end
Of their digestiOns; it upsets their
nerves, and II ruins their tempers,
but they like the effect-just as the
ordinary drunkard likes the similar
effects of alcOhol-and so they must
have it Water drUnkards, that's
what 1 call them, and there are thou
sands Of them right here in Philauel
