In front Of the little house was
a funny little red road that was

hours and dream of far lands, far
awav, and the wind swept in
from the sea and sang in the CHM
ney and reared strange tales Of
shipwreck and mutiny on the high
seas. and it was fun TO build a
great fire in the fireplace and let
the flames roar back again 10 the
, wind.
And those We loved came and
sat with us BY the fire. One there
was in particular, young and
handsome, and of a gallant cour-
age and high spirit, and he knew
the weight Of suffering and bitter
disappointment, for he was proud
and ambitious too, but ne never
let his head droop nor his pride
fail.
He brought strange company to
the fireplace in the little home by
the sea. Hairy men from the
mountains, sunburned fellows
who follow the sea, plainsmen,
tanned and taciturn, and there
was one friend, a wild Welshman,
who had lived with the gypsies in
Austria and in Spain. How we
loved to sit By the fire and listen
TO the Welshman's tales OF the
strange dark people who wan
dered from country TO country,
and laughed and sung and
charmed their way through life.
And now it is sold, the little
house on the slope OF the gracious
hill, and strangers will live there
and wonder what sort of people
we were who planted the little
garden, and how we could have it
IN our hearts to sell such a place
Of romance and mysterious charm.
But they did not know that for
Us the JOY of the place was gone
when the gallant spirit that was

smiled and said to life. that had
been his place Of cruel torture.

As ! have said. much water is
thrown Off by the skin and the kid
neys. The free drinking OF water
washes away the waste products and
the solid matter OF the body. II is
quite probable that drinking much
water prevents the formation OF kid
ney stones.
II we want to live healthy, happy
lives. we must partake OF Natures
foods and drink. We must refrrnish
the body with water lost through the
function OF elimination. II Is much
better TO drink between meals than
10 eat and drink much at the same
meal. There Is needed proper masti.
cation OF the food. and drinking too
much water interferes with this
process.
