antiseptc properties with cider, beer and fer
mented milk.
Wines antiseptic power is due to the acids
which it holds in free state, combined with the
mineral bases etherified by the alcohol. New
wines contain larger percentage of acid than
old wines. 1t Is significant that certain disease
germs will live for only two hours in new wine
while in old wine they live twice that length of
time.
Tumn, of which all wine contains more or
less, is of the acids which has a high anti
toxic value. 1t coagulates various harmful al
bumenoid materials, such as ptomaines, which
are constantly forming in digestive tract
Meat is rich in albume.r and it is because of the
helpful effect of the fannie acid that many phySi-
ologists recommend the moderate of wine
when much meat is eaten. The leucomaneS in
game which often make trouble for our stomachs
are il seems probable, neutraIized by the acids in
wine just as the poisonous nicotine of cigar is
by cup of coffee.
DR.. MeuriSse and other French physicians ad-
vance as additional argument in favor of
drinking a moderate amount of light wine instead
of water with meals the fact that illness due
to the consumption of unSanitary meats is most
prevalent in regions like the north of Germany
and Russia, where wine is very rarely seen on
the table

-HE practise of drinking only water at
meals has become very general, even III
l. European countries, where formerly VINE

10 be taken few water drinkers really prefer
the taste Of water hut most of those who make II
their only beverage do so because they believe II
aids digestion and in other ways promotes good

Until lately nobody has ever questioned the
wisdom of drinking water. When pure and not
foo cold il has always been thought 1t could be
taken even In large quantities without any III
effects But now Dr. ii. Meurisse, of Paris, ana
several other eminent French physicians ad-
vance the surprising theory that water drinking
IS one cause of appendicitis, and perhaps OF other
diseases and that We should all be better on II
we drank cider, beer light wine or fermented
milk instead.
DR. Meurisse Is much impressed with the sig
lnificance of a number of facts regarding appendi-
k.tis recently submitted to the Paris Medical SO
ciety These show high percentage of cases OF
the disease among children who drink water only.
on the other hand, brothers and sisters OF these
same children who allowed to drink light
wine with their meals, show singular freedom

from appendicitis and other intestinal troubles
Although Dr. MeuriSse admits there may have
been other causes which helped give these chill
dren appendicitis. the fact that they crank water
exclusively with their meals while the well mem
bcrs OF the family took light wine, makes him
doubt whether water drinking is the beneficial
habit we have always thought it. similar view
of the matter is taken by Or. J. Gagey, who has
written a book entitled appendicitis and Water
Drinking" and by DR.. DoIoris. of the French
Academy of Medicine, who some time ago ex-
pressed the belief that from hygienic standpoint
light wine with meals is far better than
water.
Pure water, says Dr. Meurisse contains in it
self nothing which does us harm. Whatever dam
age il does is due to the probable fact that it has
no power to destroy certain disease germs, wine
and other beverages have.
Wine DIR. Meurisse considers "a valuable anti
septic which performs useful service in destroy
ing various disease germs in the intestines It
has been repeatedly used with good results
external wounds and the recent experiments of
DIR. SabraZes prove conclusively its destructive
power on the bacilli which cause typhoid fever

Is Often Preceded by Severe Chill

The reason that person goes into high fever
when sun-struck is that the nervous system has
been upset, and all kinds OF posons have been pro
duced in the body because of this nervous de-
rangement
The simplest proof of the fact that posons I'm the
body bring about fever is the fever which results
from auto-intoXcation. If the digestive juices do
act properly the stomach becomes dstillery
and the food lying in it generates alcohol, creating
a real intoxcation similar in kind to that which
follows drinking alcohol. The poisons in the sys
lem interfere with the proper action, especially OF
the secretive. gands, and they proceed to burn up
the body from within by releasing enormous Guan-
titles of carbon doxid and other heterogeneous waste
1t has been proved that in cases this over
production of burning bodies amounts to from 10
to 100 per cent than normal, but at times it
rises to 300 per cent than should be generated
when person sees what great changes
brought about through the simplest fever and
what terrible strains put upon the human sys-
tenn he will not pass fever a trife, for it
is almost an axiom among medical men that
can tell what will follow a fever.
When you feel i'll and the physician, after placing
a thermometer in your mouth and gravely inspect
ing it, says There's little fever better be care

the cost of inside and outside clean
ing, the losses through soiled mer-
chandise, the frequent need of re-
painting and re-decorating, the
labor and precautions required to
keep stores and goods clean-all
these are noticeably increased by
the SCOT laden atmosphere of smoky
cities. Certain trades. such as tex
tile manufactures, millinery, sta
tionery and art goods, vegetable gar
dening and other pursuits cost more
to carry on in smoky cities than else
where. Already considerable evi.
dence has been accumulated to show
that the cost of operating office
buildings, hospitals, libraries, schools
and public buildings is measurably
increased by sooty and smoky at.

planets, whose motions they studied so care
fully. The North was presided over by Ner
gal and the planet which we call Mars The
East had Marduk and the planet Jupiter, the
South had Ninib and the planet Saturn, while
the West was ruled by Nabu and his planet
Mercury. The names for these stars were
different in Babyonian, but they correspondent
to the planets we know them by these
names. The North was also identified with
Winter and midnight. the East with morning
and Spring, the South with midday and Sum-
mer and the West with evening and Autumn.
Some of the Babylonian inscriptions also
show that the four phases of the moon were
indicated by the cross. The mystic quality of
this symbol penetrated the life and literature
of the people beca6se they held that the di-
rect influence of moon and stars upon the af-
fairs of men was constantly felt.
Studying the inscriptions on ancient tab
lets, monuments and bowls we find crosses of
every shape, from the swastika to the Maltese
and even the Roman cross with prolonged
lower part
1t is more than suggested that there is a
direct connection between this four-fold di
vision Of earth and heavens, as symbolized by
the cross which stood for the complete whole
and the So-Galled Tetragrammaton or four

is the word rendered in English Jehovah. or
by advanced scholars. Yahveh. The four con-
sonants in the Hebrew are YHVH. the vowels
not being reckoned as of any significance 1t
is now suggested that because of the mono
theism of the Hebrews. believing in one God
and not IN many. they used the four conso
nants to indicate the four ends of the earth

of wisdom to take his advice, for by proper treat
ment the initial fever may be overcome and severe
attack prevented.
The chill which often precedes fever is still
puzzle to science, but Italian investigator,
Benedetto de Luca, has offered very clever theory
which is accepted for want of a better. He
suggests that there is real internal fever, which
has not yet shown itself, before the chill, and this
is caused by the poisons in the body working upon
glands and muscles as to raise the temperature
of these organs to 104 degrees, while the body is
still at the normal temperature of 9S6 In the fight
for the mastery of the high temperature over the
normal the temperature of the body at first goes
4own suddenly to about 80 degrees, in the ATTEMPT
to overcome the sudden attack of heat This is
what we call the chill, succeeded by the fever
when the system yields to the fires of the poisons
and the general temperature rises, perhaps to
104 at first but to 102.
Nature is trying always re-establish itself and
TO return to the normal conditions, and, therefore,
the physician tries to help by aiding the body in
opening its pores, clearing the lungs and restor.

When you say: Il am just burning up with fever,

every pore closed, For this reason, too,
all means are resorted to to open the
pores of the skin y giving warm drinks,
administering mustard foOtbaths and
giving such drugs as quinine, which have
the special function Of releasing the skin
pores.
1t is one OF the latest conclusionssof
science that a arrangement OF the ner
vous system is tne real cause of many
fever conditions. Especially has this been
noticed in yAung children and in those
recovering from a severe illness. 1t is
literally true that a man may work him
self into fever by over-eXertion, either
physical or nervous, and many hysterical
women become feverish because of the
arrangement of the nervous system
