DRINK PLENTY Of WATER
individuals Of Every Age Should Re-
member Necessity for Moisture
In the Body.

Individuals differ In their needs, but
the average man requires from q quart
to three pints OF water to drink a day
in addition to the pint which Ii alb
sorbed in his food. Women require
q little less and children a little more
than this average. Children should be-
encouraged to drink all the water they
want between meals and upon rising
in the morning. but they should be
taught from early childhood not to sip
water between every two mouthfuls Of
food when eating. A glass Of water
before beginning to eat is advisable
and refreshing as we'll, but nc one
should form the habit of moistening
the throat with water to make the
morsels of food slip down. Water
taken in advance Of a meal is sup
posed to prepare the saliva so that
5thereis an abundance Of the latter
which should be thoroughly mixed with
the food before swallowing to make
the food ready for the stomach, and
while many authorities hold hat wa
ter taken during the meal is not harm
full, it does often become such a habit,
especially with children, that n often
sees them fairly. unable to swallow Q
mouthful without . gulp Of water to
follow. sK. ss f
Do not let children drink extremely

water against the ice. This makes 1t

enough to let them have it with ice.
Never let q child drink a glass of
iced water down quickly. IT they are
very hot 1t is enough to kill them.
There is no harm in allowing a child
to suck q piece OF ice because the wa
ter melts slowly and is fairly OF the
chill before it reaches the stomach. To
satisfy extreme thirst, such-as In fever.
the Ice sucking Is preferable for this
reason. Il
Teach a child when drinking water
at any time to take long, but slow,
mouthfuls. It is not only more salts
flying, but better for the digestion in
every way.
