IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Water Conducive to Health.

The water drinking season is on and
the matter of health is very important
ene." said man who makes study of
practical hygiene.
II those persons who suffer from stom-
ach troubles would recognize the impor-
lance of flushing the stomach out with
coplous draughts of water at home and
exercise care in diet there would be lit
Tie need to go away for such troubles.
NOW the best way to get good lithiated
wafer is to boil the water from hydrants
ana bottle 1t air tight. Then take one or
two glasses in the early morning. without
Ice but cooled, in which lithia tablet
has been dissolved. Some of the best in
formed persons on hygiene, doctors and
nurses, say that It is not so much the
question of what kind of mineral water,
just so it is free from dangerous germs,
but plenty of 1t.
Many persons deficient in gastric juices
in the mouth and stomach drink water
with their food; that is all wrong. for it
destroys the needed aids to digestion.
For persons affected with certain
forms of gastritis. ice cream is beneficial
as 1t nourishes and cools the fever of the
stomach.
THE greatest need of all is plenty of
good water. Not all bottled waters are
free from dangerous germs. Litha waters
bottled at springs have been found here
in Birmingham to carry typhoid germs
in the past. 1t would be well for the
city department of health to have all
mineral waters analyzed say once a month
to safeguard the health of the people"

Cleaning Up at Dayton

Mai. Thomas L. Rhoads of the
army medical corps has returned to
Washington and he tells human in
terest story of the manner in which
Dayton was cleaned up. He had charge
of the work, and he had an average
of 1000 persons on pay basis. There
were foreman, teamsters and labor
ers. About 400 teams were kept busy.
So quickly and so thoroughly was
the work done that only one case of
typhoid occurred, and that was an
imported case. Food at first had to be
ordered from Chicago, and sometimes
q whole train load of it was brought
in.
Military authority and men with
fixed bayonets compelled obedience
to Major Rhoads, and big organiza-
tion with II excellent departments, all
working in harmony and all working
hard to clean up the city.
Dayton, says one correspondent,
"made the acquaintance of man of
tireless patience and persistence, in
exhaustible initiative, brain to con-
ceive, and nerve to do, and that curl
Gus modesty that makes it impossible
for the man who did it to see the re-
markable quality of what he has
DONE"

THREE YEARS SHE GREW.

BY William Wordsworth.
Three years she grew in sun and shower
Then Nature said. "A lovelier flower
On earth was never sown;
This child / to myself will take; -
She shall be mine and will make
A Lady of my own.
= .
"The floating clouds their state shall
lend
To her: for her the willow bend;
Nor shall she fail to see
Even in the motions of the Storm
Grace that shall mold the Maiden S
form
BY silent sympathy.
"The stars of midnight shall be dear
To her; and she shall lean her ear
In many a secret place
Where rivulets dance their wayward
round,
And beauty born of murmuring sound
Shall pass into her face.
"And vital feelings OF delight
Shall rear her form to stately height,
Her virgin bosom swell:
Such thoughts to Lucy ItwilI give i
While she and Iftossther live II
Here IN this happy DELL"

Chinese Government and Christianity

So far as one can observe the recent
request of the Chinese government for
the prayers of Christian nations has
made surprisingly small impression
on the imagination of America.
Is it possible that China miscalcu-
lated the time necessary for new
idea to soak into the mind of western
church? The call was issued on April
IT and appointed April 27 as the day
for universal especial petition for that
land and it's people and its officers.
The religious press spread the aston
ishing news about the end of the fol-
lowing week, as already the papers
for the current week were in press.
The daily papers did not usually
s.feature" the matter, and therefore
it may have happened that compare
lively few church people were aware
of it.
Perhaps many persons have under
estimated the promptness and the
earnestness with which christendom
has shown sympathy with the spiritual
longing Of Yuan Shi Kai and his COL
leagues. In any event nothing has
happened within living memory more
potent for good, nothing more appeal
ing to the united heart of Christian
people--and though April 27 has gone,
there is every reason for all whQ be-

A FINE THOUGHT
From the Boston Post.

ioHi the DostOft foSt.
1t was fine thought on the part of
Corporal Skelly Post Of Gettysburg to
invite a southerner, James Thomas Hefin
of Alabama, to deliver the Memorial Day
ADDRESS on the great battlefield this year.
For the first time a man from below
the old line will speak to the Grand
Army veterans of Gettysburg. Not only
is this in itself the token of a renewed
fraternity that is good to see. but it car
ries to the whole south the certain news
that the old soldiers of the confederacy
Will all receive cordial and impressive
welcome when they come to the semi-cen-
tennial celebration at Gettysburg in July.
Fifty years ago the upward tide Of the
confederacy was stopped. Today it is
invited. And the nation is safe and sound.

From the Springfield Republican.
Rather staggering Is the list of ques-
tions proposed by DIR. Frank Crane OF
Chicago to be given to boys and girls
of IA in the public schools:
l. What is your philosophy of life!
.. What will you do with the sex
problem?
g. What about regilion?
T. What about education?
s. What part of the worlds work are
you going to do?
There are people Is or even is years
old who could not answer some of these
questions.

Clarence S. Darrow probably will not be
tried again on the charge of bribery in
connection with the trial of the McNa-
mara murder case. This opinion is gen.
eral in Los Angeles, because of the ac-
ton of Assistant District Attorney Ford
In striking the Darrow indictment from
the court calendar. This leaves the case
without date for trial, and it Is expect
ed the district attorney later will quash
the charges.

One of the passengers on the French
liner France for Havre-last week was
Count CASTOR de Perigny, whose cabin
was decorated with racquets of various
sizes that had ebony and gold handles
studded with small diamonds and other
precious stones. The count said that he
had been accustomed to play tennis on
board floors in France, and that his trip
to the United States was for the purpose
of instructing a few intimate friends in
the game of indoor tennis. Speaking of
American women, the count said he adj
mired their beauty very much. but that
he thought it shame they should dress
in the way they do. 1.-The well dressed
women in Paris he said, do not wear
the split skirt that appears to have met
with such favor here. Some Paris women
may wear them, but they are not the
highest class of Partisan. The whole
thing is this-the dressmakers Of Paris

Yancey of st. Louis.
Immense cereal crops are pretty we'll
assured, and in three or four weeks from
now we will hear In every part of the
country talk about the big crops. The
railroads will be overtaxed, for the indi-
cations are that there will be even larger
crops this year than those of 1912. All
through the west and northwest one finds
only optimism in the business world.
Some of the high protectionists of the
east harp on the disaster that Will fol-

try at large wants revision downward and

that he is going to be hurt by the new

Inc waters of the unparalleled floods
Whlcn submerged cities and farms of
several states have run their course and
are now lost in the Gulf of Mexico. The
details OF the event are already fading
INTO history; the people with unbounded
courage have set resolutely at work to
rebuild their homes, factories and for
tunes. Even the countless deeds of valor.
many of which have not been excelled
upon the battlefield are told less and less
often. as time leaves them far astern in
the irresistible forward movement of mod
ern activities
The volume of water which fell in the
Ohio region during those fateful four days
has been estimated by weather bureau
expert as sufficient to fill a reservoir
miles deep; or river 100 feet deep. 1000
feet wide and 400 miles long; it would
cover the entire state of Ohio to a depth
of seven inches.
While the great flood is doubtless un-
likely to be duplicated in a century or
two. if ever, it differed from previous
foods in the same district chiefly in vol
ume with corresponding damage. OF the
three great devastating convulsions of ma
ture-flood, tornado and earthquake-the
flood is the only one which man can fore
still. Already embryonic plans and
schemes to prevent a recurrence are sug-
gested, but none has been carefully
worked out and therefore no estimate is
possible of the probable cost. 1t is evil
dent, however, that any effectual remedy
must be through the medium of federal
in these pages, accomplished largely by a
capitalization of the enormous water
power which would be secured by entrain-
ment of what is now only a reckless men,
ace.
That wonderful spirit of accomplish
ment that swept the fever from the Pan
ANA zone and dug through mountains to
connect two oceans, is surely competent
to first solve the problem of our ever
recurring floods in the Ohio and Missis-
sippi valleys, and then to execute the en-
gincering plans that will turn the annual
panic of waters into a permanent source
of power. 1t is doubtful If any possible
achievement by which Colonel Goethals
might have served his country on the bat
tlefield would have surpassed the honor
and enduring fame he has so fairly earned
as constructor of the Panama canal.
When the canal is completed our army
engineers may well turn their attention to
solution of the flood problem.
