We. the children are beginning to

For six months. members OF the

" trying to establish a permanent

Age Canteen. For the past month
we have invited groups OF adults
to attend these meetings, and In
our estimation most OF these
adults have just talked but have
made no efforts to further the ad-
vancement OF our canteen.

is agreed upon by adults that dane
ing is a hoalthful recreation and
youths rec that It is a pleasing
one. All we as is that you help
up TO get a start.

off on the wrong track but still you
do not. or will not, realize 1t Is

Aid to Intestines

The addition of lemon juice adds
a piquancy to the flavor Of the hot
water and allows you to drink
more of it which undoubtedly
starts the intestines into peristal-
tic action. The first soft drink
ever to be introduced into America
was lemonade, and / do not yet
know of better one. The claim
that it adds Vitamin G and posi-
bly, B and A is well founded for
those who are conscious-stricken
about their vitamins.
Certainly whether the virtues Of
hot water are as advertised or not,
nobody could ever say by the long
est stretch of the imagination that
it ever did anybody any harm.
In a medical treatise of an ear.

cian," by G. S. Keith, | read: Hot
water acts as a stimulant by sup
plying ready made heat or force,
when the organs are not able to

actions Of the system. | have cases
to show that this stimulating ac-
ton of hot water is sufficient to
