with inactivity on the part of the
stomach. Both of these conditions
are traceable to deficiency of water
In the system. In such cases the
free drinking of pure water acts
helpfully in several ways. 1t tones
up the stomach and cleanses It. IL
increases the volume of blood and
thus conduces to increased secretion
of saliva and gastric juice.
1t is not intended, of course. to
imply that water drinking alone is
sufficient to cure every case of in
digestion and constipation; but it is
the firm conviction of the writer that
without an abundance of pure water
as part of the treatment all other
measures, such as diet, exercises
and drugging, adopted for the relief
of those troubles will fall and most
fail
For a person in average condition
it would seem that the system needs
about two quarts of pure water
daily. In cases of disease this
amount may reasonably be increas-
ed to three. four or more quarts of
water.
To one unaccustomed to the free
drinking of water it is not always
easy to form the habit. Some self
education is necessary. A good
practical rule is to make it a habit
to drink ten or twelve tumblers of
water every day. This water should
be taken on rising, on retiring and
between meals. Little or no fluid
should be taken at mealtimes nor
during the period for the half hour
preceding and the two hours after
the meal

THE PROTECTED INTERESTS"
Alfred Henry Lewis is Telling About
Them in Human life.


The public has been quick to rec
ognize that Alfred Henry Lewis's
series of articles, entitled Travel
ing with Taft" now running through
Human Life, and which began with
the December issue, are far and away
the biggest magazine feature in re-
cent years, and are, in fact, little
short of revolutionary in their re-
vealment of secret rascality in high
places.
The following are a few of the
points touched on in the February
issue: viii Roosevelt run again for
the presidency? Or, if not the
presidential chair, then what awaits
the return of the lion-hunter? Mr..
Lewis's views on both questions are
decidedly interesting if somewhat
surprising. incidentally he lays
bare Roosevelt's consuming ambi-
ton.
With sly humor, which bubbles
up everywhere through this article.
like springs in a glade, the writer
declares his platform on the woman
suffrage question. And if he pro-
poses to tilt no windmills in this af-
fray it isn't for lack of courage, but
because-and follows the most uni
que argument yet heard on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Taft's stop at Winona and
how Mr.. Tawney's constituents re-
ceived his tariff eulogy-'the best
revenue measure ever passed"-is
described Also how the President
bungled the job in his defense of
Mr.. Tawney. On this same Payne
Aldrich tariff Mr.. Lewis turns the
spotlight of his keen analysis, and
sums up the matter in a nutshell
thus: 1t means that the few shall
search the pockets of the many and
steal all save just enough to buy the
victims bread and cheese"
But perhaps the keenest sword
thrust of all, the writer plants in the
shield which tariff protection throws
over the infamous Sugar Trust 1t
let's the broad daylight in on this
subject with an array of facts that
shows the appalling clutch of this
incubus on every householder in the
land, and beside which Pharaoh's
stunts with the Israelites look like a
game of ring-around-a-rosy
This series will be continued in
the March issue.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Honesdale Man, Fireman on Erie,
Train, Died From Injuries.

Thomas Dun, aged twenty-five, q
well known citizen of Honesdale, was
fatally injured Tuesday at 3:4o y,

duties as fireman on the Erie rail-

was fireman, left Port Jervis for
Honesdale with a train of empty

he inhaled a sufficient quantity, so
that he was internally scalded. lie

AN APPEAL
To the Court of Public Opinion by
Free-BOrn Daughters of the
Commonwealth.

commonwealth.
1t is well known in Philadelphia,
that the chief purpose of the State
Registration of Nurses, in addition
to maintaining high prices and fost-
ering trade unionism in nursing, was
for the specific purpose of destroying
the Philadelphia School for Nurses
that institution having declared
for gratuitous nursing care for the
sick poor and for a skilled nursing
service to people of moderate means
at such rates as they can afford to
pay.
Graduates of the Two Year Course
of this School are eligible to regis
ter, under the law. They can also
nurse Independent of registration in
this, and in all other states. The
Philadelphia School for Nurses does
not approve of State Registration
in any form. 1t is content to have
its nurses stand on merit, rather
than on any favoritism in law, be-
sides the School takes the position
that the doctor should be the only
legal authority in the sick-room,
and that the introduction of any
other authority is detrimental and
dangerous.
However, if the graduates of this
School wish to exercise the right
to acquire the questionable benefits
of such a measure, we think, as
free-born daughters of the common
wealth, they have right to insist
no In htg
equality, however, has been denied
to Miss Nellie Farnham, a graduate
of the Two-Year Course in the
Philadelphia School for Nurses, and
now chief nurse in the Maternity
Hospital at Sunbury.
This so-called state Board of
Examiners for Registration of
Nurses" has denied to register Miss
Farnham, not on grounds of in
competency, for her splendid record
in, private nursing, and her efficiency
in her present position, precludes
such an excuse, but simply and
solely on the ground that she is
graduate of the Philadelphia
School for Nurses. Her beautiful
service in ministering to the sick
poor of this city during the entire
two years of her course in this
School, and passing rigid final exam
nations with credit, and her sub
sequent career as a successful nurse,
is crime in the eyes of this politi-
cally constituted board. which is
loudly proclaiming ''for the safety
of the public" and using the Legis-
latiye club on the graduates of an
institution which is regularly char
tered by this Commonwealth and
which has been rendering a match
less service of helpfulness for fifteen
years,
Therefore, in behalf of the grad
yates of this School and keeping in
mind the American notion of JUS
tice and fair play, we appeal to the
Court of Public Opinion.
