1.-THE city of Hull doesn't officially

Hull Is the name of a small river
emptying into the broad estuary of
the Humber, and the official name OF
the city at it's mouth is Kingston
upon-Full.
Wrapped up in the name is the
history of a more or less profitable
real estate deal by King Edward I
of England. who, though he con-
quered wales by force of arms, ac-
quired the city on the Humber by
the more peaceful process of trading
some outlying acreage with the
monks who owned 1t. He had vi
sions, which have since been justi-
fed, of the towns becoming an inn
portant port, and to make the place

Hull has nearly 100000 inhabi-
tants. 1t is about twenty miles from
the open sea at a point where the

miles wide. There are many shallow

of these docks. aggregating hundreds
of acres, have been scooped out. A
ring of them practically surrounds
the old part of the town. SO that a
forest of stacks and masts seems to

Health Talks
Drinking Water

Drinking Water
Plenty of water on the inside n
the outside Is q pretty good rule to
follow if you would be healthy. The
majority of people, women in par
ticular, do not drink enough water.
There is often danger of over-eating
but very little danger of over-drink-
ing. There is, of course, some danger
in drinking quantities Of ice water
when the body is overheated. Ice
water is not good for the system.
There is a time for drinking water
just like there is a time for Every.
thing else. The person who is Tight
ing fat should avoid drinking at
meals, because the food is washed
down too easily and one over-eats
almost unconsciously.
The sufferer from an acid stomach
should not drink water Immediately
after eating, or, in fact. until diges-
ton is we'll under way. Although
water is an aid to digestion, If taken
in excess 1t will cause an excessive
on an acid stomach.
To insure that one drink enough
water to keep the body in a normal
condition n should arrange to
drink water at certain times during
the day. When the business man
has finished opening his morning
mail he would do well to drink a
glass Of water.
Again in mid-afternoon he should
take another tumblerful. If a glass
is taken upon rising and again just
before retiring, this will meet the
days requirements, providing, OF
course, hat some is drunk at meal
time.
BY a little planning one can select
the meals so as to Offset to ONE
extent the neglect to drink water.
Fruits contain a good deal of water.
So do sherbets, gelatins, soups, po-
tatoes and tomatoes.
Stout people who require a bulky
vegetable diet should avoid water
during the mealtime since 1t adds
considerable bulk to such a diet and
is apt to overfill the stomach. re-
| sulting in a strain on the heart.
Furthermore, water has a tendency
to replace whatever fat may be lost
through careful selection of diet.
The bad effects Of a candy habit
may be partially n~eutralized by
drinking a moderate amount of wa
ter. Sweets in concentrated form
are especially irritating to the stom.
ach and digestive organs but a fair.
ly free use of water offsets this irri.
tation to a degree.

FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES BARRED

1t has been announced that controversial Is

President Harding has called to consider the
matter of unemployment. Under the head Of
controversial issues are included such debatablc
matters as the traiff and the tax policy.
Why hold the conference at all?
If anything is to be accomplished toward get
ting men back to work it will be necessary TO
get at the very root Of the trouble. There is
no doubt that the great trouble with American
business today is the unsettled state of me
country and the world In general. This unset
tied condition is due to the burdensome war
taxes and the doubt about the tariff, also to the
chaotic state of affairs in Europe.
All of these matters are up to congress. Had
the United States taken her place beside the al

SPEAKING OF: MOODS
BY DIR. w. e. BARTON

go to work, cheerfully and hope
fully, and the chances are that the
mood will come if he ~perseveres.
But If it does not. even so, it is bet
ter to wrok than be idle.
And the more one yields to moods
the more they control him.
The more he asserts his mastery
over moods, the more he makes 1t
impossible for moods to prevent his
doing his work.
You have a task to perform, and
you do not feel like doing It?
Do it SO bravely that you will
gain the glow of enthusiasm as you
proceed.
Yielding to moods is morbid and
destructive of mental and moral
energy.
If you want to accomplish any
great work in life, be greater than
your moods.
If you cannot control your moods,
at least do not let them control you.
Be the master of your moods.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-06

There is an impression, more or
less current, that men who have
done great deeds have wrought
them under the impulse of inspiring
occasions and of moods that impell-
ed them to unusual endeavor. There
is A measure Of truth in this.
Our days are not all alike. There
are times when it is easier for us to
work than it is at other times, and
times when external conditions as
sist us greatly.
But I know Of nothing nor fatal
for a man or woman than to get the
habit of depending upon moods.
Whether it rains or shines, there
are three meals to cook, and there
is work to be done which will not
wait.
I have seen some of the finest
opportunities wasted because those
to whom they came were not in the
mood to improve them.

"Cognac."

'Cognac," the play at the Belasco this
week. has for its background the world
war, but it is not war play. Rather
its theme is the world old conflict OF
human frailties and nobility.
Olive Tell, in the part of Marcelle, the
French war bride of Vermont dough-
boy, gives a beautiful Interpretation OF
modern Magdalen. and does not make
the too common error of overactlng.
Tom Powers is seen as Elmer Stubps,
the youthful bridegroom. and though ne
has been seen in Washington before IL
was never in anything that so well dis
played his abilities.
The play is simple, for there are but
ten persons in the cast, and all the three
scenes are laid in the living room OF the
farmhouse of Eli Stubs, New England
farmer. a part taken by James Seeley.
Elmer comes back from France with his
pretty young bride, arriving about the
same time as a neighbor's son. Earl
Watkins, a callow young fellow, who
admits that the women cannot. resist
him.
At the first meeting of the ex-serv-
ice men Watkins tells of meeting
girl in a Bordeaux cafe who was
known as Cognac and of giving her 30
francs to meet him later. She fails to
keep the engagement, but he retains
the paper on which she wrote the
place of the rendezvous. When ne
meets Marcelle he sees at once she is
Cognac and recalls her bargain. Stung
by her indignation and repealed only
when she threatens him with one of
her husbands souvenir hand gre
nades. he spreads the story and the
girl is about to be forced to leave. Her
husband spurns her, but, after wan
dering through the country all night,
he hunts up her detractor. and gives
the young man his choice of retracting
his story and leaving the country or
filing an untimely grave. Watkins
makes the wiser choice and Marcelle
is free to begin life over again.
AS Earl Watkins Cyrus Wood puts
much ability into an unpopular role. A
counter plot is the bucolic love affair
of Deborah Stubs and Cal Gallup.

Doyle, which of itself might be made

members of the cast are Marie L. Day
