Besides the water used for the
surface OF the body, sufficient
amounts NEST be taken to keep the
kidneys flushed and to prevent the
irritation that results when the ex-
cretions are too concentrated.
Authorities differ as TO the
amount necessary for the body.
SiXty-fve per cent OF the human
body is composed OF this fluid. The
suggestions seem to average total
OF six to ten glasses a day presum-
ably taken at least one glass be-
tween each meal, one with each
meal, one before going to sleep,
and one on getting up in the morn

Opinions also differ as to wheth-
or or not water should be taken at
meals, 1t serves the purpose OF d.
luting the mixture Of food in the
stomach, making the absorption
easier and facilitating the move
mcnt OF the residue through the in
testines. Water should not, however,
be used to wash down humps OF I'M
chewed food that they may remain
in the mouth while eating.
Ice water Is common Amer

countries. 1t chills tho stomach

Carbonatcd water, soda water
ginger ale and similar modifica
tons OF ordinary water are pleasant
to take if one has a taste for them.
They sometimes serve the purpose
of adding alkali which is OF bene-
fit in persons who have unusual
acidity. Flavored waters are oriin-
ari'y harmless if properly prepared
and II they do not contain SO much
sugar that they interfere. with the
appetite and the digestion.
1t should be remembered that
tea coffee, milk and soup are large
t ly water and that most foods con-
tain a considerable amount of fluid
as we'll. In persons with disease
conditions that tend TO accumulate
water in the body, the amount OF
fluid intake Is ordinarily restricted
! by the physician.
From the hygienic point Of view
! the amount and nature Of bacteria
contained in the water are Of great

Among the faddists there are
