 Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. The amount of water in the human body varies with the increase in years Six months be- fore its birth the infant is con. posed s4 per cent of water. At birth the water content has chADged to G9 per cent.
 When the man is 20 years old tho water in his body constitutes @ per cent. and when he is 70 years old the amount has diminished to 5s per cent. The body Of the old man is drier and wrinkled. The water content of man closely ap. proximates water contents as they occur in nature.
 An egg has 65 per cent water meat has 75 per cent fish has $O per cent, and milk has s7 per cent.
 Some of the tissues of man con- tain more water than do others. For instance, the brain is 79 per cent water, the kidneys Ss per cent. liver 70 per cent and muscle tissue 75 per cent. These facts are of the greatest importance since they indicate. how necessary water is to the body for the carrying on of it's functions Hence. whenever person is para lyzed and unable to get water thu physician sees to 1t that water is put in his body by injection or by some other route.

 There isn't any must about it, declared Jenny I don't think well use either of these houses. I have my eye on another place."
 It was then that Mir. Wren lost lis patience. Haven't you any mind of your own, Jenny Wren?" he de. manded. Here I've filled up two houses and nos you say you are not going 10 use either one. They are lovely houses. too. I don't know when have seen such nice houses. I don't get the idea at all"

New York. June 1.-The new elegance in afternoon and evening clothes finds it's counterpart in the genuine chic and beauty of things for the early morning that formerly were utilitarian first and foremost.
 Much care hes been given these morning clothes. Often singhams. linens. even calico prints arc used. Eut they show the good lines and the intricate cuts of some of the silks. satins and chiffons.
 Early this summer the two-piece frock with tucll-in blouse was ad- vanced as the coming type for sum- mcr. 1t does have come popularity. But the early morning frock of on. piece is found trifle more con- vcnient and more easily slipped into. Therefore there arc many models of one-piece things among clothes for the early hours

Tide and United

The young man and young woman
occupying the rear seat of the bus
were obviously returning from a trip
to Indianapolis. Oblivious to the
slouching figure in the corner they
chatted on. When the driver switched
off the inside lights of the bus they
were attracted to the appearance of
the moon.
"Oh. look, what perfectly beautiful
moon," she lisped.
Eyes, isn't it?". her companion
agreed. sand, by the way, they say
the moon affects the tide"
The figure in the corner stirred I'M
easily. "And also the united" it
growled.-Indianapo News.

en-. Other dancers in other cities took
up the fad and "On with the dance!"
became the watchword of the hour.
From so hours the record went to 60,
then to 70, then to 80, 80 and 100. Out
in California Viola POmpey and HOr-
ace Dunn started at Los Angeles and
danced eight miles down the highway
to Ocean Park. They kept up their
dancing for 140 hours.
And then, of course, there's flag
pole sitting. A good way to rest up
after a dance marathon is to climb up
on flag pole and just sit. And flag
pole sitting was a close second to
dancing in endurance popularity. In
1927 "Shipwreck" Kelly. a sailor.
went aloft on 40 foot pole in New
ark, N. j., and stayed there for IL
days. Not to be outdone by this ex-
hibition of civic supremacy, other
cities. staged similar contests and
many of the burghers Of those munich
palties got permanent cricks in their
necks from permanent flag pole sitters.
If 1929 is never famous for any
thing else, it will be famous for some
new AMI unusual championships"
Consider, for instance, Bill Williams
Of Hondo, Texas, who rolled peanut
with his nose over the % mile route to
the summit of Pixies Peak. 1t took him
80 days to do it and he got $500, plus
a large amount of newspaper public
ity. Inspired by his example L. r.
Rose of Rule, Texas, started from
Galveston to knock a croQuet ball all
the way to New York and H. P. Will
liams started rolling little iron hoop
for the same destination.
The so-called weaker sex is not far
behind the other in their bids for
fame. Last summer any number of
cities held rolling pin throwing con-
tests and husband calling contests in
which housewives showed both their
strength of arm and voice. And Cham
paign, ILL.,, is the home Of Mrs. 81. B.
Schmidt who claims the worlds cham
