IDBIKK WHEN YOU EAT
TAKE AS MUCH WATER AS YOU
WANT WITH YOUR MEALS
It In Excellent For the Distention It
Claimed a Neither GnNtrlc Juice
Nor Pepwin Worlc Troperlr Unless
Largely Diluted With Water
How much water should we drink
and when should we drink It are ques
tions so simple that at first sight their
discussion seems superfluous One
would naturally answer Drink all the
water you wish when you are thirsty
but authorities say Drink more than
you wish when you are not thirsty
for they recommend that a gallon or so
be drunk between meals which is
more water than we need and the very
time the system least demands it Us
ually we experience thirst during or
directly after eating
Inasmuch as S7 per cent of the whole
body is water which is of course be
ing used up every moment there is no
question that we should drink of this
element copiously but it is a serious
question whether we should refrain
from water at meals the time we par
ticularly desire it
There is a class of persons ever
growing more numerous that believes
that whatever is is wrong For the
natural and simple they would substi
tute the artificial and complicated To
drink water while or directly after eat
ing is a natural instinct Give a dog
his dinner putting a bowl of water
near it and observe that he will first
eat all he can and then immediately
drink Wild animals look for a stream
after feeding Cage birds will stop
pecking at seed to peck at water Chil
dren have a perpetual thirst aud I
haA e seen babies that unlike young
Oliver have refused to eat more when
denied water after every few mouth
fuls
It is especially important that babies
be given what water thej vish and at
the time they wish it which is usually
at table
The thinner food is the more easily
and thoroughly is it digested in fact
it cannot be digested until it has been
made liquid by the gastric and intesti
nal juices Indigestion is caused often
by food that has not been sufficiently
moistened by the digestive secretions
There are sound p iological rea
sons for our craving water with meals
Water is the solvent that constitutes
93 per centof the gastric juice Now
when one eats a hearty meal and does
not drink the amount of water in the
stomach is not suflicient thorouguly to
moisten the great quantity of food
and tliis makes digestion difficult On
the other hand when enough water is
ingested with the food the latter is
well moistened and broken up the di
gestible particles being then readily
acted on by the gastric juice and after
ward absorbed Again when the par
tially digested food chyme passes into
the intestines it is most important that
it be very moist particularly as water
is constantly absorbed from the chyle
in the large intestine Bad cases of
constipation are caused by dry chyle
remaining in the intestines where it
sets up an inflammation that some
tius proves fatal dry faeces of
course resisting peristaltic action The
excrement of persons suffering from
constipation is always dry and hard
and is a potent cause of appendicitis
The idea that water drinking at
meals unduly dilutes the gastric juice
is nonsensical water being not so pal
atable that one is apt to drink more
than his digestive functions require
As a matter of fact water generally
facilitates the digestion of albuminous
substances In this connection Dr A
Jacobi in his work on Infant Diet

page G7 says
In experiments upon digestion of
albumen with gastric juice obtained
from the stomach of animals It was no
ticed that after a certain time the proc-
merely by the addition of water The
gastric juice became saturated with
the substance it had dissolved and
ceased to act upon what remained un
til it had been diluted In the living
stomach this dilution is of even greater
importance for it permits of the im
mediate absorption of the substances
soluble in water and which do not re
quire the -specific action of the gastric
juice Neither the gastric juice nor
pepsin has any true digestive action
unless they be largely diluted with wa
ter
It goes without saying that it Is not
the food that Is ingested but that
which Is digested that does good and
this principle holds good with water
which is practically a food Now
when one resists the perfect y v -al
desire to drink while eating Lj n bi
not thirsty several hours afto v rd
but he is advised nevertheless to lv
himself to drink at that time But if
he drinks then the water having no
food to mix with it will go through
him as it were--that Is It will do no
good
The importance of water to the hu
man economy may be inferred from
the various purposes it subserves
First It softens and dissolves solid
foods thus facilitating their mastica
tion and digestion second it main
tains a due bulk of blood and the
structures of the body third it keeps
substances in solution or suspension
while moving in the body fourth It
supplies elements in the bodys chem
ical changes fifth it makes easy the
elimination of waste material sixth it
discharges superfluous heat by tran
spiration through the skin and by
i slon through other outlets and sev
enth It supplies in a convenient form
heat to or abstracts heat from the
body Some of these functions are
performed by water In Its liquid state
land others In a state of vapor

The life of the naval hero Paul Jones
has been much under public discussion
of late owing to the finding of his body
in Paris by General Horace Porter and
Its burial ut Annapolis with signal hon
ors All this has given renewed Inter
est to The Life of Paul Jones pub
lished by the late Colonel Augustus C
Buell in 1900 It was hailed by the
critics as the final word on the career
of the hero and was read with much
avidity by students on ncceunt of the
attractive glamour thrown by It about
his career But now eomes Mrs Regi

of Jones Ks a mass of fabrications that

A NOBLE CHARITY
How Done Tuberculosis Patients
Are
Treated at Sea Breeze
It is estimated that there are GO000
persons in the United States who are
crippled through bone tuberculosis and
the pity of it is that they should re
main so all their lives when they might
be cured There are nearly 5000 such
cases in the city of New York and an
effort is being made to give strength
courage and health to as many as pos
sible of these sufferers through treat
ment at the hospital maintained at Sea
Breeze by the New York Association
For Improving the Condition of the
Poor Some 20000 of the poor of the
great city are benefited each summer
by a longer or shorter stay at Sea
Breeze which is at the northern end of
the famous Coney Island The good
done there for persons afllicted with
bone tuberculosis is only a part of the
large work done by the association
The salt air and the life out of doors
winter and summer have been found

to bo very beneficial to such cases
where the treatment has been tried on
the shores of England and France and
it is expected that the success of the
hospital at Sea Breeze will lead to the
establishment of others in different
parts of the United States The visit
which President Roosevelt paid last
summer to Sea Breeze through the in
vitation of Jacob A Riis brought the
good work dona there to public atten
tion as never before The sight of the
children strapped to boards or with
their legs in frames Is a pitiful one but
they are cheerful and hopeful for they

expectations They all agree with five-year-old

of Thin DanRcrouM and Pro-
tructccl Disease
Although there is always more or
less typhoid fever in most of the larger
cities of tliis country the late summer
and autumn are the seasons when It is
most to be feared
The disease Is not so formidable as
regards the mortality as some others
but its great length and the evil conse
quences which sometimes follow it in
the form of weak heart weak sirine or
nervous disorders make it quite as se
rious as some which are more fatal but
far less protracted
Unless one knows how the disoase is
usually spread one cannot hope to
avoid it and so it may be useful to
consider in what ways the germs of
the malady find their way into the sys
tem
Water is the usual vehicle for ty
phoid germs as is well known and
probably all great outbreaks of the dis
ease in cities are due to an infected
water supply This lias been strikingly
shown in Philadelphia where some
parts of the city are supplied with fil
tered water and others with uniiltered
or mixed Avater Comparing two parts
of the city in which the conditions ex
cept as to water supply are almost the
same it was found that in the one sup
plied with filtered water the occurrence
rate of typhoid fever was one in five
thousand while in the others in which
tho uniiltered water was draink it was
one in sixteen hundred
But a city with an ideal water sup
ply may be scourged with typhoid
fever although less severely through
the medium of impure ice and it is al
most as important to know where the
ice is cut or with what water it is
made if artificial as where the city
water comes from Not long since a
number of officers on one of the United
States ships in the Mediterranean
squadron were taken down with ty
phoid fever When the source of the
infection was traced it was found to be
some ice bought at Athens the ice ma
chine on shipboard having broken
down
Another source of infection is found
in oysters that have been fattened in
streams contaminated with sewage
Not only lias typhoid followed the eat
ing of these fish but the typhoid bacilli
have been found in the stomachs of the
oysters
L w vegetables used for salads may
have been grown in soil contaminated
with slops used as fertilizers or may
have been wa hed in infected water
Unless a water supply is above sus
picion all that used for drinking tooth
cleaning aud in the kitchen should be
boiled and the drinking water cooled
by putting vessels containing it on the
ice not by putting ice in the water it
self
Finally great care should be taken
to screen all food from flies for if
there is a case of typhoid fever in the
neighborhood flies may become most
active distributers of the poison
