WATER WITH MEALS.
1t Seems Perfectly Safe to Use Your
Own Judgment.

Many Leonites like plenty of water
with their meals. And some of these
have been depriving themselves of
perts informed them that it interfered
with the digestive process, and that
all sorts of trouble would be the in
evitable result. Now, as so frequently
happens, the experts agree to disa-
gree. And the man who has regard
for his own health and his own COM
fort, will study his own stomach, and
become his own judge, his own adj
wiser.
A writer in the New York Medical
Journal tells of recent experiments
as to the effect upon the stomach of
the practice of drinking water with
meals, an investigation which he says
proves the fallacy of the theory form
erly held by physicians that this prac-
tice is harmful. The Journals writer
is quoted as saying:
mot 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 diluted and that digestion
was impaired and delayed This opin-
ion is still held by many physicians,
and is the pet hobby of great many
diet cranks professional and anna
teur.
"On the other hand there have
been many who believed that an appe.
tite as widely distributed as the de-
sire to drink at the time of eating, an
appetite seen in so many animals as
we'll as in men, was a perfectly safe
guide to trust, and that it was obvi-
ously provision of nature to supply
water which was needed at this time
Recent experimental evidences
seems to confirm the latter view. The
work of Foster and Lambert has
shown that water is a distinct slim
| ulant to the gastric mucosa, and that
instead of the presence of water in
the stomach resulting in a diluted
gastric juice, it, on the other hand
| occasions the secretion of a juice Of
higher concentration than under
ordinary circumstances.
More recently Fowler and Hawk
have made study of the metabolis
influences of copious water drink.

years of age, was studied for pre-

drank three quarts of water a day

the dead, spoke of a reunited country,
and of the spirit Of the true soldier.
He said that it was this spirit which
prompted the members of George Fl.
Legate Post, while decorating the graves
of their comrades, to also lay flowers on
the grave of the solitary confederate
soldier who lies buried in one of the
cemeteries here.
Rev. FIR. O'Reilly was orator of the
the day, and his address was truly
patriotic and inspiring one. He spoke
feelingly of the boys in blue who fought
bravely in defence of the Union, whose
ranks are now being thinned year by
year, but whose services in their coun-
trys cause are not forgotten by CRATE
full people. He referred to the rapid
growth of the country and her mar
velous achievements. He said that orr
country occupies and enviable position
before the nations Of the world; that
we must live the highest ideal Of public
and private morality if the achievements
of the past are to be ours one hundred
years hence; that in the service of our
country the most fitting record is that
we have served her faithfully.

EXERCISES IN SCHOOLS.

On Friday morning, May 81, the
memorial exercises in Mineral Point
began in the public schools, which
were visited by veterans, members of
the Woman's Relief Corps, members of
the school board, and others. Interest
ing programs were well carried out,
rejecting credit on teachers and pupils.
On Sunday morning, in the 2. M.
Church, the pastor, Rev. w. j.. G.
Bond, preached the memorial sermon,
which was interesting and instructive,
and was most favorably received by the
large congregation. He spoke OF the
cause and effect of the civil war, and
of the sacrifices made to preserve the
union of states. He spoke from the
Christian standpoint, and happily re-
ferred to the conciliatory feeling which
at present prevails in all sections of the
country.
In the morning of Memorial day the
members of George FL. Legate Post and
delegation from the Woman's Relief
Corps visited the several cemeteries of
the city and decked the graves OF SOL
diers with flowers, which had been fur
nished in abundance by members of
the Corps, school children, and others.
In the afternoon the Memorial day
exercises were carried out in the First
ward city park.
The procession formed in front of the
city hall, and headed by the band OF
thirty members, marched to the park.
From the number of children in line it
appeared as though every child in the
city was present.
The exercises in the park were as
follows:
