REFORM IN HEALTH FADS,

In the everlasting search for the
mystic KEY to health, suggestions that
do not call for some check on nature
are few enough. Nearly all the health
faddists want us to do something that
REQUIRES conscious effort-eat more, eat
less or eat nothing, eat this or eat that,
drink this and don't drink that, and so
forth What, then, must be the sense
of relief to the man who is bored by all
this TO find at last a health fad that
meets the natural inclination more
than half way and does not ask sac
rihce.
Not long ago it 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 di-
luted and that digestion was impaired
and delayed Now, the medical profess
sion about faces on this proposition
and tells us that water is a distinct
stimulant to the gastric mucosa, and

gastric juice, it, on the other hand. oc-
casions the secretion Of a juice of high

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Waterloo Courier questions
whether Roosevelt can serve his coun-

as the most influential private citizen
Of the United States. AS such he will
be absolutely free to lend his influence

chosen heir, Taft, steps out of office
