Just whnt the patient gets In mineral water and not in ordinary tap or well water, no- vt body seems to know, ' For a while it was quite tho thing to as cribe tho miracles wrought by mineral waters to their 1 dlo activity or i dium content, hut that lost its Interest when people be gan to learn that all natural waters are more or less radio active, contain moro or less radium. I am nlellned to agree with Dr. Jesse Fehing Williams, professor of physical education In toachers' college,, Columbia university, who tells us in his recent book, "Per sonal Hygiene Applied," that much of the supposed value . of mineral waters lies in the comfortable surroundings, the outdoor activities, the exercise, he bat lis, perhaps the patient's nt- tentiveness to proper diet, when visit- n gor staying at the spa. The use of mineral water awny from the health resort is therefore frequently disap pointing. As Dr. Williams tersely puts It: Persons in good health do not require special waters; persons with dsease should consult a physician. Dr. Williams takes occasion to point out the absurdity of using so called llthia water. People who are fond of all these f Ishologlcal adventures should look up Dr. Williams' book they'll find it illuminating. A question a.sked every day Is, how much water does ono require, and in Whnt quantities and at what times shotil done lake it? The dally quantity needed for good health varies greatly with different conditions of weather, climate, diet, physical activity. If an average can be mentioned at nil it Is six or eight glasses of water apart from the water taken inor with food. It is a good habit to drink at least a glass of water on rising .in . tho morning; a glass With breakfast; another glass in mid forenoon; a glassful with lunch at mid day; another glas-sful mid afternoon; a glassful with evening dinner; another glassful at bedtime. Thnt makes near ly three pints of water In the day. aside from water in or with food. Many ot us need much moro water than that in the summer" time or when we are working or playing. .Some old theories, about the 111 ef fect of drinking cold water before a meal or while at a meal, are no longer given serious consideration, because physiology has taught us that water taken in such circumstances Improves digestion and has no actual III ef fect. Particularly Is tt advisable to drink cold water freely at or near a meal timo if one feels at all thirsty. A great many elderly folk, or feeble ones, liko to drink a pint or so of hot water on rising or in the half hour or so before breakfast In the morning. They find that this helps to regulate the function of the bowel. It Is at any rate a harmless habit, nnd If one pre fers hot water to cold In the morning, It is perfectly healthful to take It hot. Sometimes more or less salt Is added to tho water, but that la often objec tionable, since moHt of us get too much salt in or on our food anyway, nnd the addition of salt does not add anything to the physlologlcnl action of the water. If a liberal drink of water, hot or cold, is taken first thing on rising, nnd the Impulse to empty the blndder Is restrained until after breakfast, this often proves effective In opposing con stipation. When the diet includes a consider- j able proportion of fresh vegetables ! and fruits, one needs less additional i water. "When tho diet is largely meat, I ono needs relatively more water. I 50 Degrees. Tho temperature of ice water is somewhere around 50 degrees F. That Is colder han most of us really like, for drinking. Have Amthir The old timers based their objection to the drinking of much cold water upon two suppositions. First, the palusible one thnt the large amount ! of water diluted the digestive fluid in ; the stonuu'h nd so retarded digestion. Second, you just naturally wanted a -.'he big drink f cold water v In n you Mere thirsty, feverish or warm from Work or play, and therefore it was bad for oyu.

A good ninny perfectly nice plump glrlH and most of the nice ones are plump, aren't . they are afraid to drink all the cold water they want, he cause Air. lien Told or Mrs. Kumsey has miKtrested that It is very fatten ing. It Ik quite true that one can pain a pound or to to one's weight In a few hours by drinking a pound or two of water and keeping us quiet as possible so that sweating will not carry off too much of tho water. It is equally true that ono can reduce one's weight a pound or two In a day by just yoliiK thirtsty and ont taking the usual amount of water, s Hut as for getting fat orthln on water, it juttt Isn't done. And there is this about drinking plen ty of cold water t gives a firl that nice clear complexion. Yes, most of the folks who do not drink enough water have sallow, dead, muddy or coarse skin. Peoplo who drink plenty of water usually have good complexions. Tluit Queer Taste The sanitary authorities nnd engi neers aFsure and reassure us that queer chloride of lime taste one some times notices In the municipal water Is positively not due to the chlorin which they put in the water to kill off any typhoid or other disease germs. They say tho . queer taste is caused by the excessive growth of some harmless al gae or microscopic water plants. So, go ahead and drink all you like even if the taste Is due to the chlorine in tho water, that Is perfectly harmless. Some folks like to attribute that taste to iodln, which they imagine is being added to the mujiicipnl water supply. It isn't. Uut were it not for tho great expense of Iodizing tho municipal water supply bo that everybody who drinks' water would be sure to get a reasonable lodln ration, such a pro vision would be most desirable for the health of all concerned. Hard Hut Wholesome Any water that tastes all right Is not too hard for use as- drinking water. I hero Is no good reason to Imagine hat tho hardness in water has anything to do with kidney disease, hardening of tho arteries, goiter or any other dis ease condition. K merge itcy lUslnfwtlon A quart of water of questionable pu rity may be disinfected for drinking by adding to it a drop( or two will do no liarm) of tincture of iodln and shak ing it up nnd letting it stand 20 min utes before drinking.
