Salt Lake Telegram: The major ity of people, and women In particu lar, do not drink enough water. There is great danger in overeating, but there Is little danger in drinking too much water unless it lie the drinking of large quantities of Iced water when the body is overheated. "Ice cold" water, however, Is not good for the system at any time. People who are forced to stay in doors all day in an office or home drink too little water between meals and then, In many cases, make a mis take of drinking too much water with their meals. A glass of water with each meal, preferably at the end, with aid di gestion. To wash down one's food, however, is a very bad although quite common mistake. It is partic ularly hard on one's stomach and that poor, overburdened organ Is sure to resent It sooner or later. One excellent rule Is to drink a glass of water just before going to lied and Immediately upon arising In the morning. The plain, everyday brand is better for this purpose than charged or carbonated waters. Water should be taken externally as well as internally as an aid to health. A bath In the morning end ing with cold water, providing one Is strong enoufh to stand It without shock, Is a valuable stimulant to cir culation and respiration and pro motes bodily activity and health.

All members are urged to attend. It R. P. CAMPBELL, Secretary. I I New U. S. Coins . Ready for Public . San Francisco,-Aug. 31. If some one hands you a silver coin tomor row that has an unfamiliar look, don't refuse It In the belief that It is counterfeit or of foreign origin. The probabilities are that it will be a sample of Uncle Sam's new mint age, which is about to be placed" In circulation In compliance with the law that requires a change In the de signs of the silver pieces once in every twenty years. The new coins now ready for cir culation consist of half-dollars, quar-ter-dollare and dimes. For more than a month the United States mints In this city, in Philadelphia and Denver have been- turning them out at a rate of about $40,000 worth a day, so that now the amount on hand is sufficient to be placed in cir culation over the entire country within the next few days. The design of the new half-dollars Is considered a higher type of art than the coins that have for so long been familiar. The markings are not so prominently cut, and the coin has a much smoother appear ance. On one side of It is the figure of the Goddess of Liberty holding In one arm a bunch of 'olive branches. Above the figure are the words, "In God We Trust;" below It is the word Liberty." On the opposite side of the coin there Is a spread eagle grasping an oak twig in his talons as he stands upon a rock. At the top Is,' printed, "The United States of America," and at the bottom, "Half Dollar." One side of the new quarter has the full figure of a woman coming through a gate In a wall. On the opposite side there Is pictured an eagle In flight. The new dime Is the head of a woman. Over the head Is printed the word "Liberty," and In the lower left hand corner the date. The obverse side of the coin has a bundle of Roman "faces" tied tightly together, with an axe and a strong oak stick. Below the cutting is the Latin quotation, "E plurlbus unum." Jackson County Fair Medford, Sept. 13-16 A big time is anticipated at the Jackson County Fair to be held at Medford beginning September 13 and to last three days.
