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.

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

FARM POINTERS.
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

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.

Features of the 1929
All main bearings are ball bearings in dust
proof cases running in oil. The cylinder,
beaters, fans, draper, header drive shafts
and other important bearings are of this
type. Require oiling not oftener than
ONCE A WEEK.
The rear shoe sieve is self leveling, auto
matically adjusting itself, assuring you of
uniform separation.
The header gears are steel cut, enclosed in a
dust-proof case, and running in oil.
The Hillside Combine will level on steeper
grades than ever before.
The CASE COMBINES have many other
improvements to offer the user and
never before have combines as efficient
and economical and easy to operate been
offered the grain grower as the 1929
models of Case Combines.
The Peoples Hardware Company keeps a
FULL LINE OF REPAIRS for these
machines, and the Case Combine user is
guaranteed that his harvester will pro
ceed through the season without costly,
tedious delays.
