Bodily Housekeeping
CBy Samuel Hamilton, NJ. d

Thy 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, Grutzner
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during di-
gestion is necessary to good bodily
housekeeping. To drink a pint of hot
water before meals is good practise,
and those suffering from catarrhal
condition of the stomach will find
benefit in adding about 10 grains
(one-sixth of a level teaspoonful) of
baking soda, drinking it an hour be-
fore each meal. Those who are in
clined to hyperacidity should drink
slowly a pint 81 medium cold water,
two hours after meals.

like to have the authority to investi-
gate this administration for about six
months.
"The rivers and harbors bill, known
the people as the pork barrel bill"
Mr.. Hughes continued, "is largely
monies wasted as there is no expert
examination to determine what expen-
ditures are needed.

depends on who are the influential

ADD OVER 10000 TO PATROL
Secretary Baker Says That Movement

tion-TotaI Troops on Border Will
Be $4,000.

Washington All the National Guard
units included in President Wilson's
call on June 10, not yet on the Mexi
can border were ordered there by the
war department.
! Between 10000 and $4,000 addition.
al troops thus will be added to the
border force. National guards there
will number approximately $4,000 and
the total of all troops on the border or
in Mexico will be 175,O00.
Secretary Baker made formal an
nouncement that the troop move
ment had nothing whatever to do with
the Mexican situation as such and was
solely to relieve thousands of troops
now held in mobilization camps only
because. they lack a few recruits to
bring units up to fixed minimum
strength.
The order sends the troops from
Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont to the
border as soon as transportation can
be arranged for them and will move all
the others including those from North
Carolina as soon as they are properly
equipped. War department OFFICIALS
decided on their action because the
troops are FESTIVE in camp and there
seemed to be no stimulus to recruiting
while there was no prospect OF move
ment to the border. They now expect
most OF the regiments villa be filled be-
fore the troops leave.
