PURE WATER.

The One Beverage That 10 the Same
Yesterday, Today and Forever.
Water is the king Of beverages. IT 10
the beverage to which all turn when
they would cure themselves of the In
furious habit of consuming other bev-
erages. But water that is not pure
may be more harmful than the most
harmful of other drinks .:
Water is the basis Of all other 'bever-
ages. All beverages of mans manu-
facture are water that has been adul-
terated by admixtures and chemical
treatment.
Pure water is the one beverage
which has stood the test of science and
come down to us cnscathed through
continuous use for countless ages. It
is natures chiefest blessing to man.
Other beverages undergo many changes
with time. Each age brings them forth
In new styles, new methods of manu-
facture, new processes Of chemical
treatment, aging and keeping. Foods
change with each successive genera
ton. We eat different kinds Of foods
from time to time. Each generation
prepares them differently. There are
different methods of compromising
them, different methods OF. cooking
them. Pure water is the same yester-
day, today and forever.-What to Eat.

Exchange In Neck&ioe.

A South Penn square business man
has evolved a plan Of how to dodge
wiley, but there is merit attaching to
It in this case His wife insists ON
buying his neckties and dotes on laven-
der and red or green spots or pale
ahimmering nile green shot with pur-
pie. Rather than cause her anguish by
seeming to decry her taste in cravats,
her husband most deceitfully starts for
the Office every morning wearing tie
Of her selection. Once in the Office,
however, the traitor quickly exchanges
the offending necktie for something
quieter which he keeps under careful
lock and key in his own private desk.
It would be interesting to find out his
wife's sensations should she pay him
. visit some day in Office hours or
should he forget to make the exchange
again before his trip home.-Philadel-

There are hats with tempers, as ev-

go on" beautifully one day (for pref
erence in the hat shop five minutes
before they are bought) and which in
the next refuse to assume the right
pose and poise for love or money.
There are few conditions more trying
than to fall under the ban Of a hats

ID to put it away for week or so
