Value Of Water
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

VOU may wonder, at times, why
every health writer advises the
drinking of plenty of water or other
liquids. In fact, few years ago, the
drinking Of any fluids at meal time
was considered unwise, as It was
thought that fluids diluted the stom-
ach digestive juice.
As a matter of fact, little water,
Just before meals or during meals
helps digestion, as it promotes the
flow of digestive juice in the stomach.
Thus before the food is eaten digestive
juice in the stomach is waiting for It,
Hence the value Of soups at the be-
ginning of meal.
The reason that liquids are so neces-
sary and so helpful to the body Is
because they act as a solvent. Chem
ical reactions between substances, and
it is these chemical reactions that
enable the tissues to do their work,
cannot take place unless they are in
solution, and the body cells also must
be kept in solution in order that life
processes may go on. Three-quarters
VI JIlC ouDoIdlANCo NOAAElOoAAA6 bAAC NSAAo
of the body-the protOplasm-are
made up of water.
Fortunately all foods contain water.
The dryest bread or biscuit may con-
tain to 10 per cent water. and some
fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes,
melons, lettuce, caulihower and straw
berries, may contain as much as 90
per cent. The uses Of water in the
system are:
% To keep the tissues in solution
so that chemical reactions can take
place and for maintaining the proper
dilution of salts in the tissues
(2) To supply fluid for the digestive
juices.
90 To enable the blood to carry
soluble substances TO all parts and
also carry wastes.
a. To regulate the temperature Of
the body by getting rid Of heat by
the evaporation Of water from the
skin.
With the exception of those who are
overweight and thin persons with
dropped" stomachs, practically every
body can derive benefit from three to
four glasses of water daily.
A glass Of water on arising and
one before each meal is a simple way
of taking the water regularly.

Anxiety.
THE forms that anxiety takes ar

THE forms that anxiety takes are
legion. Some people act~anxious
merely to attract attention. Others
develop a case of anxiety in order to
get other persons to cater to their
wants. Plain laziness might be the
motive back of it. In such cases,
anxiety qualities as mental mech
aniSm, constructed for the purpose
of working racket"
Anxiety Is sometimes mistaken for
cowardice. Perhaps, after all. they
are the same thing, partly hidden,
partly revealed Anxiety in that case
is cowardice breaking out.
There are those who are always
willing to give up the moment they
meet with opposition. This is COM
mon form of anxiety. There are also
those who show an unusual amount
of pugnacity, even in the face of a
losing cause. That's another form of
anxiety. You may call it over-com-
penSation. positive denial of weak
ness that they know all too much
about.
If you try to study anxiety in all
its forms, you are pretty likely to find
that it is in some way connected with
timidity and its opposite. courage.
Timid people often become cour-
ageous and then begin to get anxious
about this courage. They fear il

! age complex often breeds belief in

lose that philosophy of life, they give

THERE was sadness in the home
of Paddy the Beaver. A dread
full thing had happened. One
L of the children had disap-
peared and would never re-
tuIl. No one had seen what had
happened. but Paddy knew. He had
discovered his willful son cutting q
tree we'll back from the water, where
he had been told he must not go.
Paddy had given the danger signal, a
plunge with loud slap Of his broad
tail on the water as he went under.
1t had been given to recall that young
Beaver, who had been taught to take
to water the instant he heard that
signal, no matter where it came from.
When Paddy came to the surface
again he waited for the young Beaver
to come up. He waited and waited,
but he waited in vain. Then he
knew that signal had been too late
and that some one had caught that
disobedient son.
Paddy sent the other young Beaver
back home. Then he waited long
time out in the water, watching the
shore, listening, trying every Little
Breeze that came from that direction.
He saw nothing unusual, heard moth
ing, smelled nothing. When at last
he was certain that no enemy was
still there he cautiously went ashore.
With every sense alert, he slowly and
carefully made his way to the tree
which the young Beaver had begun
to cut. The white cash he had made
in the trunk and the chips scattered
at the foot Of it identified It, Paddy
looked about keenly. He smelled all
around carefully. Then he waddled
hurriedly back to the water and swan
straight for home.
ut was Yowler the Bobcat," he
stated to Mrs. Paddy as positively as
If he had seen Yowler HE must
have leaped just as I gave the warn
ing signal to call the youngster back.
Yowler must have been hidden close
by. I was afraid of something of
this sort. That is why never al
lowed the children to cut any of the
trees excepting close to the water.
You see what comes of disobedience, ="
he added, turning to the twin of the

is then that we need to be most
watchful and careful. Having sue
ceeded once, Yowler will try again.
He won't do it right away, because
he knows that We viii be on guard.
He'll wait until he thinks We have
forgotten"
"As if we could forget" cried Mrs.
Paddy.
"Then he will try the same trick
over again If we give him the chance" +"
continued Paddy. I'VE haven't enough
logs for the Winter food-pile har-
vested yet, so we have got to cut
more, and that means that We have
got to run some risk. We don't want
to be caught and killed, nor do we
want to Starve, so we must harvest
what we need, but do it with as little
risk as possible. We won't need as

Whenever a drought hits the country
And the wheat and the oats and the
rye,
In fact all of the grain
In the farming terrain
Droop, wither and finally die.
The weeds of all kinds and all species
Shoot forth from the sun-beaten
ground,
And continue to grow
Till the fall of the snow
While no edible plant can be found.
When the blue grass you planted last
April
The sorrel has choked in its grasp,
When the plants that you sowed
Round your humble abode
Are gasping their last feeble gasp,
The weeds of all sorts and descriptions
Thrust up through the hard, stony
soil,
And continue to Sprout,
Day in and day out,
In spite Of your back-breaking toll.

And I find there's one course to
pursue:
Find out how weed
May be raised which will feed
Hungry people like me and like you.
Make this parasite fit for our tables,
Tend it carefully day after day,
And you'll presently find
That all of its kind
Will speedily vanish away.

Tipping Rules

nv EMILY POST.


"DEAR MRS. POST: In your an
~ swers to several letters on tip
ping, your point Is that walters are
dependent upon tips for living wage.
Don't you realize we can never rid
ourselves of this unnecessary evil If
we continue to help proprietors to
support their employees?
ST don't see any reason for tipping
waitress or waiter, any more than
other business men and women. My
self for instance: ] am paid q salary
and certainly do not expect to receive
my regular allowance and then extra
money for doing work for which ! am
employed. am not tightwad, even
If do not give a tip each time lunch
in a restaurant. I feel that you can
do much to give us relief from tipping,
instead of what you suggest that we
allow for tipping before We order a
meal"
Answer-I can't remember ever to
have written about allowing for tip
ping before ordering meal, though
it is possible that I said meal at so
much, is 80 much, plus the tip" and
I must say that have never heard OF
any restaurants in which tipping is
discouraged except the few which reg
ularly add 10 per cent for this purpose
to the bill.
So far as money goes, 1t is six Of one
and half a dozen of the other whether
we ourselves give tips or whether res
taurant prices are increased suffi-
GENTLY to enable the proprietors to
pay higher wages. Furthermore, it is
doubtful If anything can ever STOP
tipping; too many people like the ex-
ira attention that generous tipping is
apt to bring them. At all events,
can't quite see how you can, in fair
ness, go into a restaurant and leave
no tip-except when 10 per cent IL
put on your bill.
Dear Mrs. Post: ID In your printed
slip on tipping you speak of the tip tc

mean by special? In an American

Delicious Cereal Promotes
Regular Habits

The right kinds of foods form
the very basis of health. You need
nourishment for strength and en-
ergy. And you need bulk" to pre-
vent common constipation.
Otherwise this ailment may cause
headaches, loss of appetite and
energy. You can correct it. Usually,
by eating a delicious cereal.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN adds gen.
erous bulk" to your daily menu.
Tests show, this "bulk" is similar
to that found in leafy vegetables.
Inside the body. the fiber of ALL
BRAN absorbs moisture, and forms
q soft mass. Gently, this clears out
the intestinal wastes.
ALL-BRAN is also a good source
Of vitamin B and iron.
Isn't it safer-and pleasanter-
TO enjoy this food in place of taking
patent medicines?
Two tablespoonfuls Of ALL-BRAN
daily will overcome most types
of constipation. Chronic cases,
with each meal. If seriously i'll,
see your doctor. ALL-BRAN makes
no claim to be a "cure-all."
Serve ALL-BRAN as a cereal with
milk or cream, or cook into fluffy
mullins and breads.
Remember, Kellogg's AIL-BRAN
is all bran with only necessary fla
voring added. 1t contains much
more needed bulk" than part-bran
products. Get the red-and-green
package at your grocer's. Made by

to accept 1t as necessary. They never
sought way out of the difficulty.
There were those who argued that
to build wall along the edge of the
cliff would be much less expensive
than to maintain the force of surgeons
and undertakers. as also the hospitals,
but these were considered impractical
dreamers. The fathers and grand
fathers of the present generation had
gone through the same experiences, so
these must have been necessary or
they would not have been accepted
Finally one arose whose voice would
not down, and who showed by actual
figures that this community was losing
a great deal of money as well as many
useful citizens by continuing the haz-
ard Of the trail along the cliff.
The agitation became so strong that
in time it was decided to do this very
thing. Soon the citizens found that to
journey to the outside world was ac-
companied by no danger whatsoever.
And they built a monument to the one
who originated the idea, and hailed
him as a benefactor.
To be sure, the former surgeons and
undertakers still were of the opinion
that the old way was the best, for they
were no longer so necessary to the
community.
How like human nature this fable is! 1!
We submit to all sorts Of dangers and
| inconvenience because our fathers
did, and from birth we have become
so accustomed to these unnecessary
things that we have come to look on
them as unavoidable and necessary.
The path along the cliff side we all
must travel If we get anywhere, but
this does not necessarily entail any
real danger, If we understand fully
how to avoid this; and cnce we have
done away with the inconvenience and
the handicap, We wonder why any one
could ever have been so foolish as to
submit to the former beliefs.
We are here in a world surrounded
by all sorts of potential dangers, to
which we either shut our eyes or else
We see them as something unavoidable.
When we understand the provisions
Of nature for our health, our success
and our happiness, We will wonder
that We ever tried to live in blind.ess
to natures wonderful goodness, and
perhaps We are conscious Of having
traduced nature as a blind and in
experienced guide.
The journey through life can be
made free from its greatest danger,
disease, if We listen to nature and
follow implicitly her directions in
everything.
Science, so called, has departed far
from the plain paths that nature has
laid out for the guidance of all her
children, and has actually led us astray
in matters Of our health and our
varied diseases, and only because
science has not followed natures plain
