Every Mans Water Wagon.

How much water do you consume
in year? Probably you would reck-
on II off-hand as few hundred
quarts, Just making a guess. The
fact Is, however. that. leaving ablu-
tion out of the question. you require
for your individual support not less
than SIX thousand tons of water in
the course of twelvemonth.
You drink, in year, about one
ton OF water; but this is only small
fraction OF what you really use for
the mere support Cf your tody ma.
chine.
la The course of a twelvemonth you
eat the equivalent of two hundred
pounds of bread and two hundred
pounds of meat; that is to say, four
hundred pounds of food. This is
merely a rough way of expressing
the division Of the ration into vege-
table and animal portions. But the
bread aud the meat must be produced
directly or indirectly from the soil.
and this can be accomplished only by
large expenditure of water.
Plant will not grow without water.
To produce the grain necessary for
MAXIM TWO hundred pounds of bread,
at leasy four hundred tons of water
are required. Thus we begin to
get a notion Of the really enormous
indirec' consumption of water by
the Individual human being He can.
not gct along without il. If man
or a woman was reduced TO an allow.
ance OF. say, one thousand tons of
water a year, he would soon die.
II has been said that the average
adult drinks about one ton OF water
in a yen, but the climate varies con.
siderably with the climate People

BARRIERS Want Legislation.

Thomas Ivey, secretary-treasurer
of the Washington State Federation
of BARRIERS and member of the Wash

located in Spokane, is firmly opposed
to the action of the city council of
Waterloo, Neb., in barring BARRIERS
from eating onions and other things.
He says the BARRIERS have called the
turn on such action by city council
in this state by rules governing those
who follow the trade in that a bar
Der of offensive habits cannot obtain
license in Washington. Other
craftsmen declare there should be
national statute making it unlawful!
for a man to ask for a haircut,
shave or face massage if his breath
is tainted with the scent of onions,
tobacco or liquor. If that is not feas-
ible, they add, there ought to be an
exchange of breathlets before the
work of shaving or hair-cutting be-
gins. 1t is probable that a resolution
embodying the foregoing will be sub
mitted to the meeting Of the fedora

loss OF his horses than over the loss
Of his wife.
