Is Water a Food?

Hutchinson. an English authority,
who has published the latest and best
work on foods, includes water among
food substances. Water enters the
bcdy, not only as a solvent, but as des-

of the tissues themselves. Water adds
to the energy of the body by increas-
ing the power of the heart, and in
other ways contributing to the activity

Insomnia,

lVBoInOIAs
This very common condition is
most often due to six o'clock dinners
or eating in the evening. To secure
sound sleep, no food should be taken
after p. m. or at least nothing more
than little ripe stewed fruit. without
sible, better with none. Oranges or
some other juicy fruit are preferable
for an evenings lunch. Avoid bread
and butter or milk. and similar arti-
cles which digest slowly Fruit juices
and completely predigested food sub
stances may be added in moderation.
Tea and coffee also produce sleep
lessness. Sedentary habits conduce
to sleeplessness by promoting the &C.
emulation of uric acid. which is
nerve excitant, and gives rise to rest
lessness and disturbing dreams.
Said the wise man. The sleep Of
the laborng man is sweet" Eccl. 5:l2.

ments.
The heads Of Mrs. conditt and the
two Oldest boys were crushed. while the

the wire fence about $50 yards from
the house.

scribed quite accurately the position OF
the dead woman. the girl and the little
boy al the house. Nothing could be
gotten from him concerning the dead
boys found In the field. He was plow-
ing about 200 yards from the house,
when he says two negro men came 10
him and made him go with them to the
house. where the murder was perpe-
trated.
He gave the names OF two negro men

were evidently not guilty. He stated
that after the murders at the house
