BODILY HOUSEKEEPING.

(By Samuel Hamilton, Nj. d.
The subject OF drinking water
with meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation BY
means of X-rays, the observations OF
scientists such as Cannon. Grhtzner,
Paviov, Fowler, Hawk. prove that
an abundance Of water taken dur

bodily housekeeping. To drink a

good mactice. and those suffering

Concerning Dreams.

Scientists assure Us that the longest
dream we ever have-even the dream
that seems to carry us ON through sew
eral days-actually occupies no more
than single second.
Some authorities maintain that if
any one of our dreams were to last
longer than single second we should
die. Other authorities are convinced
that we do not dream at all when we
are asleep, but only in the fraction of
time when we are (as Shakespeare has
expressed it, "'twixt sleep and wax
ing"
1t is also argued that dreams are
nothing but distorted ideas and images
passing through the drowsy mind and
being no more than extraordinary
variations of things that have happen
ed or Of things that we have thought
or read in our waking moments; they
can have no possible association with
our future. But, on the other hand,
dreams have been credited with pro-
phetic meanings since the days when
the world was young, and dream books
are still published and purchased and
consulted by the million.

the cat is swindler and the Marquis

he rewrote it and introduced the mora
motive of gratitude in the cat, but the
American version does not point out
