THE DRINKING OF WATER
(By NJ. c. LUCAS, M. D.


The general conclusions OF the lat
est medical scientists proves that
drinking OF plenty Of pure water both
between meals and with ones meals
is beneficial to health. 1t has also
been proven by means OF the X-rays
and actual tests upon many healthy
young men that the drinking OF water
with meals is not harmful to diges-
ton. Those suffering from a catarrhal
condition OF the stomach will find
benefit in adding about 10 grains Zone

of bed at night frequently and other

water and little Anuric before meals.
These Anuric tablets be obtained
at almost any drug store and were
first discovered by DIR. Pierce.

VIEWS OF A.. X. MARSH

Cotton opened yesterday AZ an advance
- 8 to II points. with buying .timu-
lated 10y firm Liverpool prices and pri-
,ate cables stating that little cotton was
cfcred from the South. Prospects Of re-
lief from drought in the eastern belt
prompted some selling on the bulge.
New orleans sold and scattered iiquida-
tiou throughout the rest of the session
mparted a sagging tendency. The close
was unchanged 10 = points lower.
in spite Of the aggressive attitude of
the leading trade Interests on the long
ID. the market at present has n two
.ided appearance. This Is but natural
N view of the fact that December con-
tracts at 1880 yesterday were higher
t,yn for any corresponding date for
a great many years. The bulls evidently
ar. relying Oh an early peace. or crop
cares to mako good their predic-
lions Of higher prices.
New Bedford reports that New Eng
land ,pinners are sceptical of the AT
,uu,e of tho last two weeks and arc
buying sparinsly. On the other hand,
southern shippers are not pressing thcir
cotton for sale. although brokers have
NOR. good grade cotton offered than they
,,n sell. Now that the freight congestion
has been relieved, considerable cotton is
on the way from the South to Eastern
mills.
In the latest issue Of the Economic

sentiment in cotton;

that what the cotton trade In now deal

Of traders are based not upon what the
worlds merchants and manufacturer
might be expected p%rudently to do but

EUROPE will be the signal for such a

have never seen and that the fortu
