BRING 1T ON

Too much cannot be said in favor
of bringing together the welfare
work of St. Pauls colored popula-
ton under the direction of an Or
ganization of trained workers such
as the Urban League.
For some time there has existed a
need for well-directed community
service work among boys and girls
and, to some extent among older peo-
pie. Recently there has arisen the
imperative need for scientific indus
trial welfare work, primarily because
of the migration of colored people
from the South.-~
There is no reason at all why the
two fields cannot be combined under
a staff of trained Urban League
workers. The big requisite is that
the colored people of St. Paul get
behind the movement and support it.
Already the women's organizations
have shown by their attendance at
the initial conference that they are
willing to cooperate. Let the pas
tors speak; let all elements come to-
gether to make the thing possible.
Let the Urban League be brought on
to help US solve our community prob
lens.

GO TO COLLEGE

chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fra
ternity, located at the University of
Minnesota, is to be congratulated on
the part it is playing in the nation
wide campaign, in offering quarters
tuition at the university as a prize
for high school seniors.
Here in Minnesota where the school
system is one of the best in the coun-
try, where no obstacles in the form
of prejudice and discrimination are
placed in the paths of aspiring col
ored Students, there should be great
seeking after knowledge. There
should be more St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth boys at the university
than there are-and there should be
more girls on the campus. 1t is to
be hoped that parents, women's clubs,
and pastors will join with the college
fraternity in encouraging colored
boys and girls to take advantage of
the excellent educational opportuni-
ties at our doorstep.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER IN
THE HUMAN BODY.
By DR.. E. Elliott Rawlins.

There is an old saying that famili-
arity breds contempt. This is very
true with most of us in our thought
of the part water plays in the econ
omy and workings of the human sys-
tenn.
Let us see how important this ele-
ment of water is in the complete full
fllment of life. The element of wa
ter enters in all life. The animal,
the vegetable land the mineral king
doms all need this life-giving con-
stituent. Man seems to ned it more
than all. Let us consider some of the
important organs in the mechanism
of man and we shall see that water
is predominating and constant ele-
ment. The blood passes through
every organ of the body and carries
the nutrition to support life. This
blood contains over 80 per cent of
water. -
The brain, that wonderful mech
anism that controls the workings of
these organs, contains IS to Copper
cent of water. The. liver, the impor-
tant digestive organ that manufac-
lures the bile juice which enters into
the complete digestion of our foods,
contains rs per cent of water. The
saliva, the secretion of the mouth
that changes many Of our foods into
a form easily digested, is almost all
water 1895 per cent). The bones of
the body, which are the framework
upon which the other tissues are SUI
perimposed, and whose strength is
one and one-fourth times as great as
cast iron, is, composed of 40 per cent
water. This will demonstrate beyond
any doubt the Importance of water in
the human system.
Water increases the muscular
movements of the intestines and thus
avoids constipation. These truths
have been found to be so after years
of experience and scientific research.
Human beings need to drink a suf-
ficient amount of water to avoid dis
ease. Rubner, q physiological inves-
tigator, states that a fasting animal
may lose all its sugar and fat, and
also ene-half of its protein food and
still i've; but if it loses one-tenth of
its water, it dies.
We are continually losing water
from our bodies through the lungs,
kidneys, skin and bowels. Thus it is
essential to make up for this con-
tinual loss by taking a daily suffi-
cient amount of water. Water is
taken into the system through our
foods; such as vegetables, milk and
other liquids, but largely by pure, UNI
mixed glasses of water daily.
We have often heard the state
ment that water should not be taken
with meals because it dilutes the gas
trio juice in the stomach. This state
ment has been found to be false and
without scientific basis. Researches
have been made recently establishing
the fact that water taken with the
meals stimulates the stomach cells to
an Increased flow of gastric juice.
The time to drink water then, is with
the meals. Everyone should take at
least three to four glasses every day.

OLD FOX FOOLS THE HUNTERS
capes to Her Hiding Place
browns Two Dogs.

Black Hill, Cenn.-The old gray fox
that has had 16 years of complete vic
tories in this part of the town was up
against 16 hunters, dozen hounds
and some of the sharpest shots in the
state and, as usual, eluded them all. -
She drowned two hounds in elbow
holes" on the Quinebaug river and re-
manned on Willoughbys island until the
dogs had all gone after hot deer trails.
Then she trotted back across the thin
ice and escaped to her hiding place in
Tophet swamp.
This old reprobate Of the fox world
has been shot at over 800 times, been
hit half hundred times and carries
so much shot In her carcass that she
waddles sideways, yet she still lives
and is terror to all poultry raisers
for miles around.
