Hot-Water Drinking.

Mr.. j. doesn't understand why physi-
clans do not stress the beneficial effects
Of drinking hot water. He is a great
enthusiast Of drinking liberal amounts
Of hot water for a great many condi-
tons, for he was greatly benefited by
this practice. He would like to know
what Is the curative principle involved.
I think It was about 20 years ago
wasn't it?--that the fad of drinking hot
water was at It's height. ] remember I
went through 1t for my ailment lover

chronic intestinal Irritation for several
months, which I thought ] would never
The benefits to those who are helped
by drinking hot water come from the
heat, for heat is one of natures heal
ing agencies. The body produces heat,
as evidenced by rise In temperature,
to help overcome infections. The heal
ing and soothing effects of hot applica-
tions, either through hot lamentations
or the electric light or other forms, are
well known. Then, of course, for those
who do not drink enough water, there
would be the added effect Of getting suf-
flcient. I don't find anything in the
modern medical literature on the sub
ject, 30 can't give you any late ideas.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Dual Personalities.


There is propably no individual who
does not at least possess the essential
possibilities Of dual, If not multiple,
personality.
Suppose you wake up some morning
with a crouch and go about all day
acting in strange ways toward your
friends or business associates. Most OF
these friends and associates will have too
ANYTHING to you about 1t. You are aware
that things are lust not sitting right.
If someone should call your attention
to your behavior, you would in all prob
ability say: II am not feeling we'll
Or you would offer some other indefinite
or unreasonable excuse.
Suppose again that these moody"
spells come every other day. Your
friends and associates would still tole-
rate your "off days" although they
might refer to you as the possessor OF
a strange personality. You would still
be conscious of all your queerness. But,
being unable to explain your alternating
attitudes, you would naturally try to
forget the moody days and go on act
ing as you felt, hoping to make amends
on the morrow.
Suppose a third factor enters into the
growing situation. Suppose you forget
all about the moody days. They are
so painful that whole days pass out
of your chain of yesterdays. You have
then developed two personalities. Your
real self" functions one day. Your
moody self" functions the next day.
You recall only the days that your
real self" was in operation.
Sometimes the moody spells succeed
in dominating a person for weeks or
even months. He forgets his name, his
business, where he lives. etc, He
wanders about the country operating on
the basis of the strange personality. All
the time he does not know that all this
is going on. Finally he is either dis
covered, or he snaps back" into his
real self and returns home.
