were. Iced water in quantities is not to be approved. If with the meals one wishes cold liquids they should not cause harm if only sip or two be taken at a time. But when drinking glassful at once, as the treatment requires, the temperature should never be lower than a chill This is refreshening and is not unhygienic.
 Begin the day by taking a glassful of hot or cold water. It should not all be poured down the throat at once; neither should it be slipped. for the quantity should go into the stomach at once that 1t may be ejected soon.
 Occasionally some person raises the objection that hot water in the morn ing makes one i'll. This is most un- likely to happen if the water is hot; tepid water is decidedly nauseating.
 If, however, there is the slightest reluctance to taking hot water cold may be substituted, and to a glassful in the morning add pinch of pow. dered charcoal. This is excellent for the stomach. A similar glassful should be taken on going to bed The rest of the two quarts may be drunk when ever one wishes.
 It is a good thing to take glassful at time and none later than half an hour before a meal or earlier than half an hour before eating. Otherwise it is likely to interfere with digestion.
 When water is to be drunk daily in this quantity one can not be too par ticular to have it pure.
 For those who can afford them there are bottled spring waters, but the city water may be made wholly hygienic

tion, but it is not, and the theory is easily understood.
 The stomach will not contain a large amount of water and as the liquid is sent from the body 1t does scavanger work in taking off germs or matter that may cause illness.
 Every person should drink at least two quarts of water day. One may take more if desired, and there is no danger of it's being fattening if drank as it should be, not with meals but be- tween them.
 If one will have patience to masti- cate food properly no water will be re- ouired with it and the gastric juices will do their work we'll. Few indi- yiduals however. are content with this and to them the less liquid of any kind you absorb with your food the better, If you are striving to keep down flesh.
 It is obvious that the water treat ment is to be used at odd times, as 1t

Washington, Jan. l5-So persistent have been the efforts made in the House of Representatives to amend the bill codifying the criD1ina1 laws of the United States that the commit tee on revision of the laws today con- scented to let down the bars and as a result the measure was changed in some important particulars,
 The pacific attitude of the commit tee in this regard served to mollify the opposition members and in consequence the proceedings today were devoid of the heated arguments which have char

 When the House at 4:b0 p. m. ad- journed. there were pending a number of other amendments which seemed to meet with no particular opposition by the committee, but which were passed over until tomorrow ln order that the members might hays time to consider them carefully, The portions of the bill which attracted the most atten- tion were those covering the giving and accepting of bribes by Senators and members and on the sale of en- dorsements or support for appointive public offices.

MANY MOBILE SALOONS
 FAIL TO GET LICENSES

Mobile, Jan. 15-(speciaL) )-Reports from the Judge of Probate's ofce this morning show that licenses to sell H. quor have fallen off fully twenty-five per cent, which means decrease in the revenue of the schools amounting to $2o.oo0 as the revenue from licenses issued last year amounted to near ESQ., 900.
 It is stated at the Probate Court that the check up of all licenses has not yet been made. but a. falling off ot twenty-five per cent is certain.
 The officers of the Probate Court state that the main reason for this de- cided decrease in the number of licen- ses- issue Is due to the fact that so many of the stockholders and off cers in the wholesale and brewery frms were interested in the saloons for which they failed to take out licenses

CORTELYOU AT WORK.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Secretary Cor telyou was at. his desk in the Treasury Department today. At the White House it was said positively that nothing whatever was known as to the Secre- tarY's reported resignation.
 Secretary Cortelyou's appearance at the Department was for the first time since his recent illness, which began about four weeks ago. He still shows evidence of his severe attack of grip, but expresses hope that he can from now on, attend to his business with out further trouble.
 He said that the published story that he had resigned or would resign was absolutely without any foundation. He had had no serious differences with the President, he declared. or with any member of the Cabinet, and expected to continue to serve as Secretary of the Treasury.
 Mir Cortelyou pronounced the story that he had been offered the presidency of the Knickerbocker Trust Company of New York as absolutely without foundation, and said also that the pub lished report that he had conferred with J. P. Morgan in regard to 1t dur ing his recent trip to New York was a fake" in every particular.
 During his visit to New York, he said, he had not seen Mir. Morgan or any one else in his interests nor had he been within a number of miles of Wall Street.
