PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1929. Why So Much Water? From BtM Board of Health. Many people ask why we should drink six glasses of water per day. This advice is for persons in health and not for invalids. For those who have good health and want to keep It, plenty of water every day is an absolute necessity. The fact is that our bodies are sixty to seventy per cent water. We get rid of water by the processes of nature; we breathe out water vapor and we evaporate water from the whole body surface, every day and all day. If we did not balance this loss by a sufficient intake we should soon wither up. Water softens the food we eat making it more easily digested and absorbed. It so dilutes- the diges tive juices that they can reach every particle of food. It dilutes the blood and lymph and keeps the membranes soft It helps regulate the body temperature by distribut ing heat to its various parts and by disposing of surplus heat through perspiration. And last but not least water is a most important fac to in the removal of wastes. Food is burned in the body to keep us warm and give us power to work and move. There is a constant breaking down and wearing out of cells and tissues and this broken down and worn out material is thrown into the blood to be gotten rid of by the skin, lungs, kidneys, and intestines. Copious water drink ing aids the action of these organs and prevents the accumulation of poison in the system. Every day about four pints of water is lost through the various organs of elim ination and this loss must be made up if the human machine is to do its work properly. Since only a part is replaced by the food that we eat, it is necessary to make up the def icit which amounts, roughly, to six glasses. Many people fail to drink a suffi cient quantity of water. Such peo ple are accustomed to giving their systems less than the required amount and although they may suf fer from headaches and indigestion they never think that lack of water may have something to do with such disturbances. Take one or two glasses of water before breakfast. This will tune up the stomach for work. Take the other four during the day. They will act not only as a flush to the stomach and intestines but will stimulate the liver, kidneys and skin to healthy action. Look upon the drinking of water as a good health habit Be sure you drink no less than six glasses of water per day. be forbidden, brush fires may be watched, chimneys may be oleaned, grain and storage bins may be ven tilated and electric lights may be in stalled, but in case a Arc starts a good water system with water un der pressure and hydrants and hose near all buildings forms a ready and reliable defense. Where no run ning water is available, Are extin guishers are the next best A good top dressing for grain or meadow grass is 75 pounds ammo nium sulfate or 85 pounds sodium nitrate an acre, says the Oregon ex peimient station. The fertilizer is put on when the plants are dry or when it is actually raining so the fertilizer will not stick to the plants. Ammonium sulfate is the fertil izer recommended by the Oregon experiment station for grass lawns. Grasses, especially bent grass, thrive on acid soils and dandelion and plantain, weeds which are trouble some In lawns do not grow well on acid soil. Ammonium sulfate in creases the acidity of the soil so that it checks weeds and furnishes nitrogen for the grass. Ammonium sulfate is best put on dry and wash ed into the ground with a hose. The rate of application is one-half pound for 100 square feet ENVELOPE PRICES CUT. Reductions in prices of govern ment stamped envelopes amounting to 20 per cent, effective April 1, have been announced by the post office department, according to the Publishers Auxiliary, which says that the National Editorial associa tion legislative committee stated that this price cut would intensify ALPINE.

When lawns are beginning to grow and there is more or less dead grass in the sod, it is best to cut the lawn early and thus encourage quick results from the new shoots, says the experiment station. A farm building may often be saved from fire by having water available in hydrants in the barn, garage or hog house or by having running water in the house, says the experiment station. Fire pre vention is the only protection from fire on many farms. Smoking may STAR HAM Demonstration Sat., Mar. 30 A free ham sandwich to all who visit our store.

REMEMBER The Quality is Always Higher Than the Price HIATT & DIX Phone Main 1072 We Deliver the feeling among consumers of printing that publishers and print ers were exacting high prices mere ly because the government with its vast resouces is in position to ex tend this unfair competition with private printers. It will be recalled that the postal department cooperating with the government envelope contractor at Dayton sent out millions of circu lars to buyers of printing which in effect held up printers as profiteers, as their prices were considerably higher than those offered by the federal government The legslative committee stated that the effect of this government price-reduction will be felt on all printing items as the impression of extortionate prices extends to other commodities sold by printers. The new government list is expected to renew the demand for eliminating the government as a competitor. Geo. Atterbury and S.
