the train had orders from the general manager

Before the~tra out of sight.an engine backed

we stopped to pick up the two carloads of arms and
ammunition that had been shipped from Bridgeport to
Jacksonville. These had been dropped off at Gala

the detectives still waiting and watching for them

sometimes wondered what his
future would have been if he had
been put off the train that night
in the woods.
W7HEN it was still dark we
w reached Woodbine, a lonely
station at the crossing of the Satilla
River. The Dauntless, under full
head of steam. was lying at a land
ing few steps below the railroad
bridge, which crossed the stream
close to its mouth, and the arms
and ammunition were quickly
placed on board of her. Part of the
cargo was loaded right on to her
deck from the cars as they stood
on the bridge. At daylight another
tug, the Inca, came alongside with
an extra supply of coal, which was
crammed into our bunkers and
piled on deck, and before the sun
was far up we were off for Cuba,
with never sign of interference.
When our departure became
known the Spanish Government
entered a scorching protest at
Washington. The special Treasury
agent in charge of the horde of
supposedly shrewd men who had
been assigned to prevent us from
getting away stated IN his official
report of the affair that the ex-
petition had been $50 artistically
handled that detection was i'm

reason to believe we should at

Jacksonville, and both of these
ports were guarded by revenue
cutters.

for several short talks with Funston and his boastful

The two principal locations of the ex-

These two main sites and intermediate
locations will be connected by a ma

by an intermural railroad. A trackless
trolley will run over the boulevard.
Harbor View is within twenty min.

At Harbor View will be located a

Golden, Gate park will be the seat OF
the permanent features Of the expost-
tion. With an area of more than a
thousand acres Golden Gate park, for
ested and created of sand dunes, today
presents one of the most notable
achievements in landscape gardening
in the world. The west end Of Golden
Gate park, comprising $40 acres, will
be utilized for exposition purposes:
Around great stadium, already built,
will be erected huge concrete COLI

WATER DRINKING WITH MEALS.

Pursuant to tradition of long
standing, it is a common custom to
forbid the drinking OF water at meal,
time. There was a time when such
advice appeared most reasonable.
Professor Hawk and his pupils at
tie University of Illinois have been:
Investigating, during the past few.
,eals, the correctness of the current
attitude toward this question, with
results quite at variance with the
traditional idea.
When the influence of water.
drinking with meals was, examined
by direct. experiment on man the al
legged direful consequences were
found missing, there were no appar-
ent Ill effectS.
On the contrary, the general con-
clusion from all the findings was
that If water is taken with meals
there is a better digestion. and a
more complete utilization of food.
A pronunced improvement in the
digestibility of fat was also observed.
Since there is constant tendency,
at least among persons whose knowl-
edge of the given subject is slight,
to carry to extremes conclusions de-
rived from experiments, it seems
worth while to add warning
against the indiscriminate and excess
sive use OF large quantities of water
Furthermore, nothing that has
been said is intended to lend any sup
port to the American custom of
drinking water that is ice-cold .-
The experiments Of Hawk and his
pupils indicate that our ideas with
regard to the drinking of water must
be revised, but we must wait for re-
ports of observations from a larger
body of observers. ---%al
In the meantime, says The Jour-
nal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, we may allow water, more
freely with meals, subject to the in
dividual exceptions which expedi-
ence brings out. y.
