GET ON THE
WATER WAGON

Drink all the water you can
acquire taste for" Such is the
advice of DIR. Luman NJ. Griffin,
Dean of the University Of Colo
RADIO Medical School. The medi-
cal expert believes thoroughly in
the value of pure water and lots of
it. "Man should daily drink three
per cent of his weight for the in
ternal bath. The body requires
one per cent Of oxygen, one per
cent of food, three per cent of
water" Few people drink enough,
claims the doctor meaning, of
course, water.
The doctor says that a man
OF woman weighing $50 pounds
should drink about four and one
half pounds of water each day.
"Cultivate the same thirst for
water that the beer -drinker has for
beer. Every time you pass the
hydrant, patronize it. Don't pass
it without taking a drink of water.
Drink it all the time, before meals,
at meals, between meals. Don't t
guzzle at meals, but drink some,
say glass or two" advises the
doctor

AN ANSWER TO
A COMMUNICATION


Rev. Father Desaulniers of the
Church of the Assumption, the
gentleman is very much offended
at an article which appeared in
the Observer CT last week regard
ing ruling he had made at SER
vices the Sunday previous to the
effect that those who did not have
pews would have to stand as the
rows of seats which had been free
would be removed Were it not
for the fact that the gentleman in
his letter stated that others had
read the item and expressed regret
that it had appeared we would not
take this method of replying pub
licly. To reach these, in an en-
deavor to show them that they
evidently misconstrued the mean
ing of the article, this course is
therefore made necessary. We
regret that in making this reply
we are unable to publish the
communication we received few
days ago in toto, but inasmuch
as the writer stated that it was
not for publication and as it
would be breach of newspaper
ethics to ignore such instructions,
we will have to govern ourselves
accordingly. 1t will be necessary,
however, to publish excerps from
the communication in order to
answer intelligently and under the
circumstances we hope Rev.
Father Desaulniers will pardon us
for SO doing.
The letter we received from
Rev. Father Desaulniers begins
as follows:
Someone pointed out to me a
few lines of your paper in which
you criticize my administration of
the affairs of the Church of the
Assumption. Everyone who spoke
to me about the matter, has sim
cerely regretted that you have set
aside the custom observed, so far,
by the Central City editors of let
ting the churches attend to their
own business"
1t will be seen from the forego-
ing paragraph, as we have stated
before. that Rev. Father Desaul-
niers misconstrued our meaning
and did not take the article in the
spirit in which it was written. He
claims we criticised his admins
tration of the affairs of his parish.
How he could form that idea we
do not know as we most certainly
made no criticism whatever in the
item in question, but merely told
the facts. We did not so much as
comment on the action he had
taken in requiring his congrega-
tion or parishioners to rent pew
in order that they might have a
seat. He further states that we
have set aside the custom observed
heretofore by editors Of this city
in ''letting the churches attend to
their own business. In making
this assertion the gentleman did
SO, doubtless, without thought, not
thinking perhaps that it was pos
sible for the information to have
reached us without solicitation
and without our prying into the
affairs of the church, which was
the case. The information was
volunteered by several who were
in attendance at the services the
Sunday Rev. Father Desaulniers
spoke about the pews. The mat
ter was discussed in the presence
of the writer, no secrecy about it
whatever, and he thought that it
would make good news item and
therefore published it. AS many
of the readers Of the Observer are
Catholics, it was Of interest to
them to know that they would

Dunlap Shut Out

The biggest crowd of the
season attended yesterdays
ball game and saw Mo. Valley
shut Dunlap out by a score of
10 to 0, and what a handsome,
jolly good crowd it was, always
ready to applaud a good play
whether pulled off by the home
team or the visitors, but Their
Mo. Valley always had the rep
utation of being the best town
around for a visiting team to
play ball in. The game was
devoid of any spectacular plays
but Mo. Valley pulled off sew
eral fast and pretty plays. Mo.
Valley scored 2 in the first, l in
the second, / in the fifth, and
each in the sixth, seventh and
eighth innings. Dunlap had
only one man get to third and
two to second.
NOTES OF THE GAME.
Milliman hit the ball hard, in
five times up he got three
singles and a three Dagger.
The Valley boys certainly
take advantage of every open
ing when on the bases.
Did you notice that the kids
were conspicuous by their alb
sence, in the grand stand, and
the management has been
warmly congratulated by the
patrons.
Nilsson stopped two hard
drives and tossed the runners
out easily.
Modale and Dunlap will come
to the tournament loaded to
the muzzle. Mo. Valley has
won from leach and say they'll
fight hard to get back.
Mo. Valley will play their
regular line up in the tourna-
ment despite all rumors to the
contrary.

that the farmers would know
just what you have to sell and
what you will take for it. Try
it a while and see. The farm
