WATER AN AID TO DIGESTION
Medical Investigators Have Concluded
That Plentiful Drinking at Meals
10 Distinctly Beneficial.

Medical investigators have reached
harmful to drink quantities Of water
with meals It is distinctly beneficial.
Recent experiments. along this line are
described in The New York Medical
Journal. The writer says:
mot long ago 1t was almost the rule
for physicians to discourage the habit
of drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals. on the ground
that the gastric juice was thereby d.
luted and that digestion was impaired
and delayed. This opinion is still held
by many physicians, and is the pet
hobby of a great many diet cranks
and cranks-professiona and anna
teur.
"On the other hand, there have been
many who believed that an appetite
as widely distributed as the desire to
drink at the time of eating, an appe-
tite seen In so many animals as well
as In man, was n perfectly safe guide
to trust. and that II was obviously a
provision of Nature to supply water
which was needed at this time.
Recent experimental evidence
seems to confirm the latter view. The
work of Foster and Lambert has
shown that water is distinct stimu
liant to the gastric mucosa. and that
instead of the presence of water in
the stomach resulting in a dilute gas
trio juice, it. on the other hand, occa-
sions the secretion of a juice Of higher
concentration than under ordinary cir
cumstances.
More recently Fowler and Hawk
have made a study of the metabolic
influences of copious water drinking
with meals. A normal man, 20 years
of age, was studied for a preliminary
period and then for a period of five
days, during which he drank three
quarts of water a day with his meals
The result showed an increase in
weight of two pounds.

Strange Words.

Dean Swift protested against spec
ulations, operations. preliminaries,
ambassadors, PALISADES. communica-
tion. circumvolution. battalions" as
new-fangled expressions brought into
common use by the war of his day.
Today nearly all these are the most
orthodox English. In his time mob"
seems commonly to have been written
"mobb." and "phizz" also had the dou-
BILE consonant. Hence his complaint
that I'VE cram one syllable and cut
on the rest. as the owl fattened her

WOMEN BUILD BOONE TRIBUTE
Male kentuckians Ignore Pioneer Who
Built Their State.

In keeping with comment that the OBJ
servation of Memorial day Is falling
largely into the hands of the women
of the land Is the information that the
monument recently erected in the cap
ital of Kentucky to Daniel Boone Is
the result of an effort by women.
For decades men had talked and
done nothing to commemorate this
notable specimen of the hardy and in
telligent piOneer-the frontiersman
with an indomitabe will. a big brain
and an uncrring gun. Possessed in
high degree of those qualities that are
essentially masculine, Daniel Boone.
II seems. should have especially APP
pealed to men. But the appeal that
was heard and needed was that which
his character and career made TO wO-
men.
And so there stands in Frankfort a
modest but sufficient monument to
the man who. leading the exodus from
Pennsylvania into Kentucky in the
early days, helped so signally to lay
the foundation of civilization.

Good Rain--John A. Nash

Audubon County was providen-
TALLY favored with good rain
Saturday morning and another fine
shower Monday.
These rains came in the mick of
time" for the maturing of our big
corn crop. The late corn was need
ing moisture badly, while the early
maize was going onto maturity
with little moisture in the earth.
No preventing providence, Audu-
bon County, through the kind at
tention paid to the selection of
its seed corn at the County Fair
last year by Hon. j. A. Nash and
the Ames expert brought here by
him to demonstrate the method of
selecting good seed, will without
doubt harvest the largest crop in
it's existence. The small grain
crop is the best in quality ald
tity since 1895.

Views Afoot
DO WE SPEND WELL?

Suppose you had hundred milllou
dollars. What would you really do
with it? How would you go about the
spending of it?
Beware, and have care of the first
thought that comes surging up in an
swer to the question. 1t IS base and
low, and sprigs from the meanest of our
three natures. For the answer that
comes first is, unless you are a very
unusual you area very unusual sort of
person, from your physical being.
Perhaps you do not say it-but still
still your spontaneous thought is of
added comforts of life, or perchance
luSuries, or pleasures not enjoyed hi
therto, or surceaSe from work and
kindred 'hardships.' That is, you
would simply crafty the animal man,
its appetites and desires, in the fond
expectation that from this course
would come the happiness that your
heart Graves.
Really, have you thought, even yet,
of any better way to spend hundred
million than the one mentioned. 1t is
perhaps this indissoluble link between
money and the animal in US, that has
made money a thing of evil repute.
1t is something to make our cheeks
burn with shame, to note how little of
our money goes to the working of real,
enduring good, and how much is wan
tonly wasted in gratifying our appe-
tite for pleasure. This is aside from
what we spend for the actual necessi-
ties of life. Bp the proper spending of
our money we might all become real
benefactors, and the era of peace and
goodwill among men would be has
tened. The money that we spend
should leave SOME REAL, LASTING
GOOD either to ourselves or others. But
the qualification Of our animal iMpul-
ses and instincts is in no sense work
of lasting good.

FALLING WALLS
Exchange Bank Excavating Cellar
For Furnace Reom. Vault
Fell Into Basement.

Tuesday mos ming, while the work
men were preparing to case up the
cellar that they had excavated un-
der the Exchange Bank, where Mr..
Delahoyde, the Cashier, had expec-
ted to arrange for furnace room,
cracking noise was heard. In a
short time the vault containing a
million dollars worth of valuable
papers, with the massive safe that
had done business at the old stand
for the big end of century all set
tied into the cellar and were buried
under the thick brick walls that
came tum bling down as the roof
came gliding after. The big rain
of Monday morning softened the
clay walls and the snoring not be-
ing sufficient to support such a
weight, the structure collapsed.
The Bank, being frame build
ing veneered with brick was COM
plete with the exception of being
modernized with furnace heat
which Mr.. Delahoyde intended to
supply. 1t was fortunate accident
for perhaps minute later many of
the workmen would have been
caught by the tons upon tons of
brick work that fell.
1t is to be hoped that the manage
ment will tear out the wrecked
structure, and will erect a new
building and bring it down to
grade. The work of sorting up the
entangled conglomeration would
be an herculean task for less of
bank expert than Mr.. Delahoyde
and his faithful assistant, job n
Vandebrake, but they will soon
bring order out of chaos and the
incident will be forgotten.
