A few physicians not particularly
Interested In tho booming of health re
sorts still believe mineral waters have
some value in tho treatment of cer
tain dlHoasu conditions. 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

Tho temperature of ice water is

The old timers based their objection
to the drinking of much cold water
upon two suppositions. First, the
palusible one thnt the large amount

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

that ono can reduce one's weight a

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.

with his poker face, which face Uncle
Joe often puts to practical use when
the boys drop in for a little game.
Joseph Gurney Cannon, ns the birth

the Twenty-Fifth Judicial district of
Illinois in 1861 and he held the job for
seven years. Then, In 1873, he was
elected representative to the Forty
Third congress. With the .exception
of two terms, he hel dhis seat to the
timo of his retirement. In his early
years In congress ho was chairman of
tho . house appropriations committee,
and from 1903 to litll he wns speaker
of the house. He received 58 votes for
the presidential nomination Inthe re
publican national convention in Chi
cago in 1!)08.
Although he will take no active part
