Body Needs Plenty Of Water Far More Necessary to Body Than Food and Loss
 Must Be Compensated to Offset III Effects

from eight to 12 days. That is what happens to a man lost at sea or in a desert without fresh water.
 So nec-.6ary is water to the con- tinuing of the chemistry of the tis- sues that the blood begins to take 1t from the tissues of less impor- tance and transport it to those of more importance very promptly when the supply from without be- gins to fall. When a human being becomes unconscious, a physician or those in attendance mus make certain that water is put into his body if he is to live. It may be injected by stomach tube into the stomach O. it may be injected with a needle dnder the skin or direct ly into the blood.
 When person becomes exceed ingly thirsty, his tongue, throat and mouth get dry and burn. Be- cause of the anxiety, he becomes restless; because of the lack of evaporation of water from the sur face of ths body, he becomes fever ish. The sensation of thirst can be lessened somewhat merely by wetting :he lips and tongue, but this is a satisfaction only to the sepsation and cannot satisfy long.
 There Is one portion of the brain which is particularly interested in seeing that the needs of the body for water are satisfied. Obviously this is important since the water is necessary to the conditions of life. Some people drink a great deal moro water than do others. Excessive thirst Is brought about by excessive loss of water from the body.
 Sometimes this loss of water is due to disease which puts d great deal more water through the kid neys in order to relieve the body of concentrated salts that are the products of disease. Sometimes the occupation of the person or the character of his sweat glands is such that he loses great deal of water by way of the skin. In some instances, much water is lost front he body by the intestinal tract.
 Following hemorrhage with considerable loss of blood, a person Is usually intensely thirsty because of the amount of fluid that has been taken away in this manner.
 In a recent review, Professor Carlson pJints out that the thirst appetite has not yet been properly named. This appetite, he insists, is nevertheless real factor in life,Y as 1t is apparent that many people imbibe sO-Called soft drinks with out being thirsty or drink one-half of one per cent beer without either thirst or rope being present."

PLUTO NO MODERN BABY

If we take the word of Frank F. Seagrave, Boston astronomer, for it the baby planet Pluto is no modern baby. Apparently that infant planet doesn't like the sun and doesn't need old Sofs ultra violet rays as do modern infants who are baked, tanned and re- baked in the sun. According to MT Seagrave it will be more than 58 years before Pluto again makes his "colsest approach" to the sun, at which time he will be D. 694, 100000 miles from the sun. For that reason the Boston man Q fstars believes Pluto to be a very cold baby. Incidentally, Pluto is only slightly larger than the earth.

number Of Island young people. All
the proceeds over and above expenses
will be turned over to the welfare
committee of the Commercial Club, OF

The orchestra is composed Of four
pieces, and good music is promised.
While the time for advertising the
affair is short the boys feel that there
would be no better evening than this
for the dance between now and the
holidays. They are hoping that the
worthy motive for giving this dance
will interest the Island people, and
that they will, by their presence help
them in doing what they can for those
less fortunate.

ISLAND MINISTER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE

Rev. @. Aug. Peterson arrived home
this week from Great Falls, Mont,
where he has been conducting series
of meetings and lectures. On Sunday
afternoon he preached in the chapel
of the Deaconess Hospital at Great
Falls.
Rev. Peterson left for home last
Saturday morning, expecting to arrive
here in time to conduct the Sunday
services in his own church on the
West Side. Near Troy, Mont, the
train on which he was travelling miss
ed by only few minutes being struck
by great rockslide, which stopped all
operation over that division for nine
hours, and took 100 men many hours
to clear away. Had the train come
along Just a few minutes sooner there
would not have been q chance to
escape. AS 1t was. all the passengers
suffered was just severe shaking up.
Rev. Peterson, and all the rest felt
that they were indeed fortunate.

Program
At Annual Banquet

On last Friday evening a capacity
crowd attended the annual Fathers
and Sons banquet ut the Island Club
After a splendid dinner served by
the ladies Of the Presbyterian Ladies'
Aid, there were number of delight
full musical numbers, after which
those present listened to what, accord
ing to the concensus Of opinion, was
the finest talk ever given at one Of
these banquets.
Prof. Klemme, Of Everett. spoke on
the subject, "That Horrid Boy" and
while he is an extremist, and speaks
often in superlatives, he gave every
parent present much food for thought.
His speech was both witty and force
full.
Prof. Klemme has written several
books which have been accepted in
educational circles, one Of them being
on the same subject as his talk Of
Friday evening.
Needless to say II Prof. Klemme ever
comes to the Island again he will be
greeted by a large audience, as the
students at the high school were just
as much delighted with his talk to
them as the fathers and sons were
Friday evening.

Mrs. George Shoup
Addresses Audience

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Vashon Local of the Washington
Coop and Poultry Assn was held
Tuesday evening, November II at the
Island Club.
Rainy weather did not interfere
with the attandan0s. IL Tia Island
people insw I'M ~ psslsr q ~
evening had a message FOR them which
should be worth Drawing the storm
for. And they were not disappointed,
for Mrs. shoup handled the subject
of Commercial Poultry Raising, in
all its details, with completeness
that omitted nothing.
When questions were asked there
was no hesitation and the informa-
ton was given with positiveness
that left no doubt as to the meaning.
Mrs. Shoup knows her subject SO we'll
and has had such great experience
that she is always able to satisfactor-
lily answer all questions on her sub
ject. All vashon Island poultry raisers
recognize the mastery of her subject
possessed by Mrs. Shoup.
Mr.. Svinth was present and in his
usual happy manner spoke of the All
Club work. He also spoke of the dry
litter experiments now being made at
Puyallup. At later date speaker
from the experiment station will give
more information on the subject.
It is anticipated that suggestion
made by the president will result in
much good for all who attend these
meetings of the Coop. Mr.. Beall
suggested that poultry raisers make
these meetings an opportunity for
heart to heart talks on the problems
confronting them.
. An account of Coop meeting
would not be complete without men
ton of refreshments. The committee
of ladies in charge on this occasion
lived up to the high reputation the
Local already enjoys.
The date for the December meeting
will be announced early in the month.

FUNNY COSTUMES IMP. 7. A. PLAY

grammar. school indicate that there
will be a capacity audience. This play
Is sponsored by the Vashon Grammar

which must be met by the organiza-
ton.
If those attending get half as much
fun out Of the funny costumes as
those taking part did OF the dress re-
hearsal on Wednesday they will be
well repaid. Whether the costumes
are authentic would have to be judged
by one of the bellies Of the eighties or
nineties, but that they are exceedingly
funny is a certainty. To see this play
makes one wonder II another genera
ton will find our styles rs screaming
ly funny as we find the apparel of
several decades ago,
The dialog parts are taken by Mrs.
A. w. Wight and Mrs Hubert Spald-
ing, while the silent parts are taken
by about twenty-five other members
of the P. T. A. whose identity cannot
be revealed.
In addition to the play there will
be several numbers, readings, dancing
and music, furnished by the pupils.

EDUCATIONAL SURVEY MADE
BY SOCIAL SCIENCE CLASSES

In accordance with the custom
throughout the state, our Social
Science classes, during Education
Week, made an interesting study Of
the comparative development of our!
schools with that made in other lines
of endeavor The purpose was to de-
termine whether or not the schools
are keeping pace with the rapid pro-
gress made in transportation, COM
munication, industry, and civic ad-
vancement. The study covered the
period since 1900, and showed that in
this state the value of school property
had increased from five to eighty-four
million dollars; that the percent of
high school students had increased
from 1854 percent to Is percent of the
common-school enrolment; that IA
times as many finish the grades and
As times as many finish the high
school; that in 1900 no child was car
ried to school while now $4,000 are
transported at cost of $l,75o,0o0;
that the school year has been
heightened from six to nearly nine
months; that from seven to nine adj
ditional years training are required Of
teachers and that through the ac-
tivity Of Washington Educational As
ISOLATION 1000 teachers are enrolled
in this organization which is consist
antly. working for higher ideals pro-
fessionally and educationally.
From this study we have decided
that while mighty progress has been
made in all other lines the schools
too have quite consistently kept pace.

Union Thanksgiving
Service At Burton

On next Thursday morning, at 1880
the Island churches will unite in their
annual Thanksgiving service at the
Burton Community Church. Rev. E.
@. Randall will preach the sermon OF
the day, and other Island pastors will
have a part in the service There will
be suitable special music.
Possibly there is no other church
service, with the exception of Christ
mas, that takes those in middle life
so wildly back to the days of their
childhood, when 1t was the generally
accepted custom for the entire family,
from grandmother down, to observe
the real spirit of the day by attend
ance at the union service held in one
of the various Protestant churches.
Those who grew up In the middle west
and east recall the snow. Whether 1t
always showed on Thanksgiving Day,
or whether 1t was the happy faculty
Of childhood to recall that which was
pleasantest, 1t still seems as though
1t were always snowy and bright on
Thanksgiving Day. Memory readily
brings back the sound Of sleighbells
and crunching snow, the biting cold,
things which were just as much q
part of the day as the feast for which
young and old truly gave thanks"
1t would seem that attendance at
church on Thanksgiving Day would be
more fitting than on almost any other
day, provided we seriously consider
the blessings with which our lives are
constantly filled, and 1t is hoped that
In revival Of this custom the Island
people will make plans to take Just
an hour out Of the day, and gather
to make next Thursdays the greatest
union Thanksgiving service ever held
here.
