There is n tremendous amount of ig-
ignorance on the subject OF the office Of
bwater In the internal economy. Many
obstinate chronic cases OF constipation
ARE caused by the lack of sufficient
water TO aid in carrying off the waste
and effete matter.
e The first and most imperative condi-
ton for good complexion is that all
your cXcretory organs be kept in ac-
tive. healthful state. When it is under
stood that fve-sixtls OF the human
body is water. that 1t enters into the
structure of every organ and tissue,
and that no food can be assimilated till
lit is reduced 10 liquid, the serious re-
suits Of stinting the supply will be APP
preciated.
To assist your Internal organs to do
their duty YOU should give Your body
daily n thorough flushing. When your
sinternal organs are torpid an undue
amount of work is forced upon your
skin. causing distention of the glands
of the skin. which in turn will become
scoarsencd ana often covered with pin-
pies and blotChes

freely at home. Drink water the first
thing when YOU get up in the morning

drink IT again before YOU go to bed at
night.

the condition OF the water YOU are

are found in foul pipes, and water
standing in open vessels quickly alb
serbs Impurities from the air. simple
test to find out If the water is pure
is to take a pirt bottle OF clear glass
and fill ii about two-thirds with water
add "A half spoonful Of graduated
sugar, cork the bottle with a glass
stopper or new cork. and stand in
the light in a warm room. If within
forty-cight hours the water becomes
cloudy or milky il is unfit to drink.
All water for drinking purposes
should be filtered. The best method is
to have n filter attached 10 the pipes
of the house supply so rs to insure
filtered water running from all the
spigots. II the water is not filtered it
should he boiled for thirty minutes,
then cooled III covered vessels when 1t
should be poured Into bottles. When
cool the bottles are placed in the re-
friEerator beside the ice. Bc sure not
to undo the good work Of boiling the
water by adding ice TO il when You put
1t on the table Besides, ice water is
so cold il retards and int"rfcres with
the digestive processes.
