Water and Life
BY Henry Smith Williams

A MAN may fast for thirty or
"A forty days and live to tell
he tale. but he cannot go with
out water for more than a
small fraction of that period
and survive. No life processes
take place except in the pres
ence of moisture. The tissues
Of the living body are largely
composed of water. and the
supply must be constantly re-
plenished or all life activities
cease.
What applies to human It's
sues applies TO lower organ
isms as well. The microbes
that cause decay can operate
only in a moist medium. A
perfectly dry tissue - be it
meat or fruit or vegetable -
does not decay. II moisture is,
The Washington herald., 1922-12-28

1T would seem. then. that the
l. ideal way to preserve food
stuffs would be to dry them.
Take away the moisture, and
no artificial preservative is
needed. A perfectly dry beef
steak would be as imperish-
able as a slab of seasoned
wood-say an oak tabletop.
Primitive peoples knew this,
though Of course they. did not
know the scientific explanation
of the observed fact. The
Indians, for example, preserved
meat and fruits and vegetables
by drying them In the sun or
in the smoky air OF the wig
wan. Familiar present-dsy
foods preserved in q manner
scarcely less primitive are dried
beef. dried herring. and such
vegetable products as dried
apples. dried aprfcots. and
prunes and raisins.

THE SPECTATOR
Failures
THE financial pages Of this

THE financial pages OF this
newspaper are mighty in
teresting reading even 10 the
general public and those who
do not consider themselves
financiers. Mr.. Humans col
umn, for instance. the other day
gave some striking informa.
tion upon subject about which
we have all wondered, the sub
tect Of business failures.
Quoting from a French econo-
mist, he said that in France out
Of ten persons who embark in
business, barely two are sue
cessful: two or three are tust
about able to live, but are un-
able to increase their business.
while the remainder lose both
their own property and that OF
others.
IN the last ten years the liza
bilities in business failures In
the United States amounted to
$500, 100000. which would
seem to indicate that at least
one business man in five goes
to the wall.
So the great struggle Of the
survival of the fittest goes on.
The explanation Of these fail.
ures can be found in no one
thing. Success is complex. 1:
involves care. courage, intelli-
gence and a certain amount Of
good luck.
IN other words, success takes
1 about all there is in a man.
One point we should remem-
ber, however, is that a person
who fails in one business does
not necessarily fail permanent
ly. The most of such people
turn about and make success
at something else.
And then we should not for
get that success Is not always
measured in terms of business
or of money. No man really
fails until his courage has
failed.
