WATER.
Drink water and drink lots Of 1t
during the hot weather, as long as
you avoid drinking ice water, il you
want to avoid o number OF ailments
and keep healthy.
Stop and consider that more than
co per cent of "us" is water aud one
will realize that the only way to keep
the SYSTEMS supply up TO standard
is to drink, drink, drink, and then
drink more water.
Kidney disease, rheumatism, torpid
liver and constipation are ailments
that are increasing every day because
most people fail to drink enough wa
ter.
The system should be flushed every
day and regularly. Water provides
a solution in which the body cells
may float and move and have their
being. for water enters the chemical
composition of every tissue. even the
hair, nails and bones.
Most important of its many uses
is that it furnishes the vehicle for eN'
ecretion OF bodily waste through two
important channels-the skin and the
kidneys.

structions have reached the governor. but
that that official merely has promised to
investigate the case.
Special dispatches from Rome yester-

the release of Consul Richardson. had
promised to punish those responsible for
the removal of the consul from the Italian
consulate and to salute the Italian flag
