DRINKING AT MEALS.
Water Should Be Taken Only After
Eating, Says an Authority.

Most physicians today will tell you
never to take any liquid, and least of
all water, during meals. There are,
however, two sides to the question.
Those with a tendency to govt or
other diseases arising from excess of
uric acid should avoid liquids until
two hours, at least after eating.
For those without such a tendency
there is no harm in drinking a moder-
ate amount at the end of the meal.
There is, therefore, sound reason
back of the custom of keeping the cot
fee for the last course. Even when this
prandial drinking is permissible, one
should avoid excess. A little cold
water in the mouth is often just as re
freshing as if gallons of the liquid had
been consumed.
The great American fault-or one of
them-is the consumption of enormous
quantities of ice water, which is really
a deadly beverage and not fit for civil
lied man to drink emphasize civil
ized,'' for no savage would do anything
SO stupid as to chill and paralyze the
muscles of his stomach in the belief
that he is cooling his skin.
The rules, then, are: A little water
If you are healthy and your stomach
is normal, not too cold, and taken at
the end of the meal. And thus will
you avoid the countless ills to which
most drinkers during meals are heir.

COLONIAL socIALs a FAD.
IL Can Be Made a Success in Every
Community.

There is one form of sociable which
is warranted to be success, since
every one is interested in it from the
start; this is the Colonial social"
The committee should canvass thor
oughly, letting no house escape, for In
every one something is tucked away
which speaks of earlier days. The
committee on decorations may hang
the walls of the parlors with crossed
swords, old muskets and flags, and por-
traits of Washington and other colo
NAL heroes Around the rooms may
be tables and chairs of old mahogany,
spinning wheels, andirons, and curious
kettles Arranged around the wall
may be long, narrow tables draped
with cheese cloth in blue and yellow,
bearing old silver, brass cand1esticks,
snuffers, decanters, slippers, en-
broidery, fans and jewelry, with sam
piers, warming pans, old mirrors and
family portraits above. Each article
should be labeled with the owners
name, the date of the manufacture, or
use of the article, and any historical
event in connection with it.
1t is a good plan to have everything
brought to the parlors early in the
day and returned at the close of the
sociable to prevent possible loss. 1t
is one of the interesting things about
the sociable to see the quality of
relics even the smallest town has hid
den away.
For entertainment some one may
sing some of the revolutionary ballads,
or tell curious event in family his
tory, or read from old records. Or
there may be recitations of such things
as Paul Revere's Ride of "Doro-
thy O." or some description of life
in colonial days. OF course the whole
affairs is more delightful if the hostess
at least can come in quaint old silk
or cotton gowns, with tall combs and
huge fans, and powdered hair.
As to refreshments, there should
certainly be poundcake and mulled
cider, and perhaps doughnue, or little
spicy cookies. A great deal Of fun
can be had if old recipe books are
hunted up and some of the things
| tried which are suggested there.
This sociable suggests one on muck
the same lines, where a real New
England slipper is served at six, all
sitting down at long tables to eat the
same dishes which were served long
ago. Afterwards the same entertain
ment may be provided as at the colo
| NAL sociable, with or without the pref
ty old dresses.

IN LIFE's BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, joys and Sorrows of the
Human Existence

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake of the frail character
of human life, and are brief and I'M
certain. The experience of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and a good deal of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence, bending over us in bless
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual life-a cloud,
a vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale

Old Coins Discovered.

Workingmen in demolishing the old
smelter house of the first United
States mint, on Seventh street, Phila-
delphia, have uncovered a number of
relics of the early days of the repub-
lie. These relics consist of a number
of foreign and domestic coins, dating
as far back as 1898. Some of the in
teresting finds are a number of test
coins that were experimental with by
>the officials in the olden times. These
coins are similar to Chinese money,
each containing a hole in the center

er1A REASON
The Rexall Remedies

The Rexall Remedies
deserve confidence.
AS all these Remedies
are grouped Under one
name, they must succeed
or fail together. There
must be no weak links
in this chain. One I'M
worthy remedy would
mean disaster for the en-
tire plan. If you. for
example, purchased the
Rexall Cough Cure and
were not cured by it,
how could we expect
you to place any faith
thereafter in the Rexall
Dyspepsia Cure or any
other member of the
ReXall family?
You can understand,
