being assured by Mr. GOwen that pay
ment for the cars was made to the rail-
road by the coal companies. Mr. Glas-

was learned from the witness that cars

The sensation Of thirst is caused by 4

state Of health It indicates that the
body wants moisture. We should dis.
tngulsh natural thirst from that caused
By stimulating food and beverages,
which produce q fever in the organs OF
digestion. Thirst is caused by a fail
ure Of the salivary and other glands TO
secrete a proper amount Of fluid FOR
use in the stomach. II Is possible to
quench thirst not only by the ordinary
means, but through the blood vessels
and the skin Much OF the water drunk
passes out through the skin by means
Of the blood vessels and Is known as
unconscious perFpiration II Is a well
known fact that the loss Of blood Is al
ways followed by intense thirst. This
thirst is one Of the most narrowing
features Of battlefield, as every old
soldier knows The reason for It is
that The blood vessels being drained Of
their moisture, the skin becomes parch-
cd and every pore is changed into a
thirsty mouth. Thirst accompanies fe-

to dryness IN the throat and mouth,
