Water Drinking.

After all the efforts of physicians to
make their patients drink water copi-
ously and of the aforesaid patients to
dispose of quarts of water daily it is
nothing short of discouraging to be told
by medical writer that excessive wa
ter drinking often works serious harm.
Brain workers with too little muscular
activity or men who have excessive
muscular activity without proper n.y.
gienic supervision nearly always take
a sufficient if not an excessive quantity
of LIQUIDS in the form of tea, coffee,
beer, milk or water, declares this au-
thor as quoted in the Woman's Medical
Journal. The normal amount Of water
required daily IS Il mathematical cal
culation regulated by the sensation OF
thirst. Many conditions must be con-
s,dered before water drinking Is pre-
scribed, she says further, and its eff
fects should be as carefully noted as
those of any other therapeutic measure.

trunk held the wardrobe Of the beauti-
full Virginia girl, and on the side 1t
bears the words, Mistress Dorothy

Just how old fashioned it Is may be
cleaned from the fact that it is not COW
cred with a smooth leather, but with
reddish cowskin, with the fuzzy hair
showing. The trunk is In remarkably
fine condition, considering the hard
knocks 1t has undergone. 1t was in the

The United States navy has just

one of the most powerful and deadly
sea weapons in existence today.
This self propelling sea monster trav-

ty-six knots and has an extreme range
Of 1000 yards, $500 being the guar
anteed contract range. Owing to Its
superior advantages in speed and range,
being capable Of going eight knots, or
25 per cent, faster and nearly double
the distance of the latest Whitehead, 1t
will supplant the latter. now considered
to be obsolete. The best performance
of the Whitehead is a speed of twenty
eight knots, going but 1000 yards.
The new torpedo has an additional adj
vantage and one especially adapted for
submarines, inasmuch as it can be dis
charged equally well from submerged
tubes as on deck, feat never success

The torpedo is fired out Of a tube
some twenty feet in length. the interior
being well creased. About twenty min

pounds starts the glistening. cigar
