 The attitude asslmed by H. c. Springer republican candidte for delegate to the constitutional con. yention, as expressed in yesterdays issue of the Arizona Gazette, is con vincing evidense of the deep thought the people at large are giving to the propositions embodied within the initiative and referendum and the recall. prohibition and a number of other features of modern and pro gressive government. T believe in the initiative and the referendum says Sprunger.
 T firmly believe in the general honesty and judgment of the people. he continues.
 No wonder Sprunger could not con tinue feeling as he does and make the race for delegate under the rules laid down by the Ely corporation ma chine.
 Never before has the dominatins interest that controls the Maricopa county republican machine been dealt such blow as is given them by the stand of Sprunger in behalf ol the people.

The Game of Post Town.

This is an interesting game for chil- dren of nine or ten who know some thing of geography and are familiar with the names of places. One is chosen postmaster. Each child takes the name of any town she prefers. If there are too many for the postmaster to remember be writes down the names and holds the list in his hand. He then calls out. .'I am going to send a letter from Richmond to Boston" for instance. The children bearing the names of the towns mentioned ex- change seats. If they fail to do so the one who does not respond pays . forfeit. Occasionally he exclaima General post.' Then every one must exchange places. If any one does not secure seat she must pay a forfeit. and these are redeemed when the game is over. Excitement is added if long postal routes. including many cit. ies, are named.

workers in the anti-tubsrculosis move
msnt were little group Of about thirty
women's clubs. Today 100000 women
under the Health Department OF the
General Federation af the Women's
Clubs in every state and territory of the

this disease, and more than 5000 clubs
are taking special interest in she crusade.

My, How Things Do Change |


/ While the medical profession generally
has encouraged the drinking Of pure
water in large quantities, it has discoun.
tenanced the copious drinking Of water
with meals. The theory was that an
excess Of water taken when eating dilntes
the gastric juice and thereby disturbs
digestion.
Now it appears that this theory was all
wrong and that the more water that is
taken with meals the better will be the
digestion and she general health. The
Journal Of Experimental Medicine, pub
lished By the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, recites an experiment
recently conducted for the sole purpose
Of settling this point. L says: "The ex-
peFimenta indicate most convincingly
that the entrance Of water into the stom.
ach does not produce . diluted gastric
juice Of lowered acidity, but rather that
the entrance Of this fluid acts as dis
tinct stimulation to Che gastric secretion
and that the juice, although secreted in
larger volume than previous to the On.
trance of the water, nevertheless shoWsa .
higher concentration of acid than does
that iuice which is secreted under ordin.
ary conditions.
"In the experiment the subject was
placed on Q normal, constant diet, and
was brought to 4 condition Of approx.
mate nitrogen equilibrium. Atthat point
1000 cubic esntimeters OF Watsr was added
to each meal and continued thus through
period Of I've days."
The result showed an increase in
weight Of two pounds during she i've
days Oi she test and the general cOnclu-
aion reached WAS ''that the drinking Of
a large amount Of water with meals was
attended by many desirable and BY no
undesirable features"
