Urges Drinking Water.

Columbia, Mo-, Aug. 7.--"If
you have not the drinking water
habit, form it at once" says Miss
Edna d. Day, professor of home
economies in the University of
Missouri. Select times ian the
day between meals when it will
be convenient for you to get wat
cr, and make it a point to drink
regularly at these times.
Miss Day is an authority on
well-balanced meals. She has
carefully prepared tables which
show just what combinations of
food give material for the best
development of the human body.
Water is our most important
food, but because it is so cheap
we are apt to forget its import
ance. 1t used to be said that one
should not drink water with one :
meals, but when one remembers
that none of the food we eat en-
ters the tissues of the body until
it. is in solution the need of water
is apparent. If we do not supply
the water with our food it has tC
be drawn from the tissues of the
body for the purpose.
"To depend entirely upon thi,
source, especially when eating
such concentrated foods as sugar
or candy, is to put a severe strair
upon these tissues. SO see to il
that the children have plenty o.
water with their candy, and thai
water is provided with every
meal. OF course, it should mo-
be used to wash down uncheweC
food. The average individual
should have six to eight glasse.
of water a day.
Many of our headaches, mucl
Of our stupidity, most of our cold
and our rheumatism are due t.
lpoisons in our tissues that plen
| ty of water would wash out. Wa
ter is necessary to wash TIN
wastes out of our bodies"
