We sometimes receive communi cations from our old subscribers that are more to us than the price of the paper. The following, which wo re ceived yesterdny morning, being an example: S , Washington, Jan. 21. 1910. Mr. Editor: Your paper has come regularly every week and still comes, bringing tho news of that home land, and elsewhere, for which I hardly know how to be thankful enough. Would write occasionally but most of the time do not feel able. Some months ago had a stroke of apoplexy, from which I have partly rallied, but my health as well as my finances hardly meet my needs and only for a friend in Tacoma some times would be without bread. I would like to pay you for the paper but am not able. If you can afford to send It to me I will be very thankful. My face is ZIonward, and have sweet peace with God. I am like a soldier away on furlough, resting passively in the Saviour's care until he gives me my discharge and says come home. I am quietly, calmly, resting in my Saviour's arms, filled with faith and with the Holy Ghost; not a cloud darkens my soul's peace. All is love to God and man. More some other time. Yours fraternally, G. W. AN APPEAL To the Cotirt of Public Opinion by Free-Born Daughters of the Commonwealth. It is well known in Philadelphia, that the chief purposo of the State Registration of Nurses, In addition to maintaining high prices and fost ering trade unionism in nursing, was for the specific purpose of destroying tho Philadelphia School for Nurses that institution having declared for gratuitous nursing care for tho sick poor and for a skilled nursing service to peoplo of moderate means at such rates as they can afford to pay. Graduates of the Two Year Course of this School are eligiblo to regis ter, under the law. They can also nurse independent of registration in this, and in all other states. The Philadelphia School for Nurses does not approve of State Registration in any form, it is content to have its nurses stand on merit, rattier than on any favoritism in Inw, be sides the School takes tho position that tho doctor should be tho only legal authority in the sick-room, and that the Introduction - of any other authority is detrimental and dangerous. However, If the graduates of this School wish to exorcise the right to acquire the questionable benefits of such a measure, we think, as free-born daughters of the common wealth, they have a right to Insist upon equnllty before tho law. This equality, however, lias been denied to Miss Nellie Fnrnhnm, a graduate of the Two-Year Course In the Philadelphia School for Nurses, and now chief nurse in tho Maternity Hospital at Sunbury. This so-cniled "State Board of Examiners for Registration of Nurses" has denied to reglstor Miss Fnrnham, not on grounds of in competency, for her splendid record ln private nursing, and her efficiency in her present position, precludes such an excuse, but simply and solely on tho ground that she Is a graduate of tho Philadelphia School for Nurses. Her beautiful service' In ministering to tho sick poor of this city during the entire two years of her course in this School, nnd passing rigid final exam inations with credit, and her sub sequent career ns a successful nurso, Is a crimo In the eyes of this politi cally constituted board, which 1b loudly proclaiming "for tho safoty of tho public," and using tho Legls latlvo club on tho graduates of an institution which 1b regunrly char tered by this Commonwealth and which lias been rendering a match less servlco of holpfulncss for fifteen years. Thorofore, In behalf of tho grad uates of this School and keeping in mind the American notion of Jus tice and fair play, wo appeal to the Court of Public Opinion. Next Tuesday Is Ground Hog's day. Look for his shadow. TWO QUARTS OF WATER A DAY. Dr. W. It. C Latson Hayn Thin is nn Inexpensive way In Which to Keep In Perfect Health. Three-quarters of tho earth's sur faco Is covered by water. Tho body of a man la about four-fifths water. Even your teeth, tho hardest and densest tissue of the body, contain about four per cent, of water. Tho hones contnln from eleven to four teen per cent, of water; tho muscles aro three-quarters water. Tho blood varies from four-fifths to soven-elghths wnter. Water makes up ninety-seven per cent, of tho gastric Juice, ninety-eight per cent, of tho perspiration and ninety-nlno per cent, of the saliva. Tho vital processes aro carried on vory Inrgoly by means of water. As one authority has expressed It: "Water Is a very Important food cle ment, as all tho physiologic changes take place In n watery solution. Water is the medium through which the body Is nourished." That is to say, digestion, circulation, assimila tion all these are possible only as a result of the presence of water In tho body. Without food a man can exist sixty, seventy or eighty days, as has been demonstrated by ex perience, but If deprived of water for live or six days lie dies. In the prevention nnd treatment of disease' the elimination of waste Is by far the most Important factor. In mnny diseases It is only neces sary to increase elimination in order to cure tho case. Disease, as a rule, is merely an effort on the part of tho body to rid itself of impurities. To secure proper elimination the most important measure is tho free drinking of pure water, water which shall wash tho system as water poured through a' sponge would cleanse it of all its impurities. There are very few people who drink enougli water, to insure the elimination of the poisons which tho body Is constantly making. For the removal of these poisons the two or three glasses of water daily which many people drink is absurdly in adequate. Fluids such as tea, coffee, wine, beer, milk and so on will not act upon the system In the same way. In the first place, all such fluids, with the exception of milk, contain impurities, if not actual poisons. Coffee contains caffeln, tea contains thein, wine and beer contain alcohol. Not only, therefore, do they poison tho system and disturb the opera tion of the vital organs, but they Impose upon certain organs the ad ded task of separating the solid from the fluid matters before the liquid can be used by tho system. It must be understood that the only liquid which the body can use in its activities is water, and that other fluids taken are useful only becnuse they contain water which may bo filtered out by the appropri ate organs. Tills act of nitration, however, imposes a certain strain upon the system a strain which in many cases leads to direct and in curable disease. An insufficient supply of water in the system is qne of the most fre quent and far reaching causes of disease. As a practical physician, the writer has found that In the vast majority of cases, lack of fluid in the body was an importnnt factor in tho causation and maintenance of tho patient's disorder. And in every day practice it has become a routine measure to prescribe an Increase in tho quantity of water taken. Lack of water is nearly always a factor In the production of such .disorders as indigestion, constipa tion, rheumatism, gout, catarrh and biliousness. In constipation especi ally the free drinking of water is often the only treatment needed for complete cure. Water Is better than any combination of drugs bet ter than pills or other concoctions, which act only by irritating the del icate membranes of tho stomach. In indigestion the difficulty Is generally duo to the insufficient supply of gastric juice, combined if $ Dollars Cents. 5 1 Asa matter ol Duslncss wc earnest ly solicit the accounts of Individuals or Firms, cither for Savings or Checking Accounts.

Both of these conditions are traceable to a deficiency of water In the system. In such cases the free drinking of pure wntor acts holpfully In severnl ways. It tones up tho stomach and cleanses It. It increases tho volume of blood and thus conduces to Increased secretion of saliva and gastric Juice. It Is not Intended, of course, to Imply that water drinking alone Is sufficient to cure every enso of In digestion and constipation; but It is tho firm conviction of tho writer that without an abundance of pure wnter as part of tho treatment nil other measures, such as diet, exorcises and drugging, adopted for tho relief of those troubles will fall and most fall. For a person In average condition It would seem that the system needs about two quarts of pure water dally. In cases of disease this amount may reasonably bo increas ed to throe, four or more quarts of water. To one unaccustomed to tho free drinking of water it is not "always easy to form the habit. Some self educntion is necossary. A good practical rule Is to make it a habit to drink ten or twelve tumblers of water every day. This water should bo taken on rising, on retiring and between meals. Little or no fluid should bo taken at mealtimes nor during the period for tho half hour preceding and the two hours after the meal. THE PROTECTED "INTERESTS." Alfred Henry IjcuIs Is Telling About Tlicui in Human .Life. The public has been quick to rec ognize that Alfred Henry Lewis's series of articles, entitled "Travel ing with Taft," now running througt Human Life, and which began with the December issue, are far and away the biggest magazine feature in re cent years, and are, In fact, little short of revolutionary In their re vealment of secret rascality In high places. The following are a few of tho points touched on In the February issue: Will Roosevelt run again for the presidency? Or, If not the presidential chair, then what awaits the return of the lion-hunter? Mr. Lewis's views on both questions are decidedly interesting if somewhat surprising. Incidentally he lays bare Roosevelt's consuming ambi tion. With sly humor, which bubbles up everywhere through this article, like springs in a glade, the writer declares his platform on the woman suffrage question. And if he pro poses to tilt no windmills in this af fray It isn't for lack of courage, but because and follows the most uni que argument yet heard on the sub ject. Mr. Taft's stop at Winona and how Mr. Tawney's constituents re ceived his tnrlff eulogy "the best revenue measure ever passed" Is described. Also how the President bungled the job In his defense of Mr. Tawnoy. On this same Payne Aldrlch tariff Mr. Lewis turns the spotlight of his keen analysis, and sums up the matter in a nutshell thus: "It means that tho few shall seurch the pockets of tho many and steal all save just enough to buy the victim's bread and cheese." But perhaps the keenest sword thrust of all, the writer plants in the shield which tariff protection throws over tho infamous Sugar Trust. It lets the broad daylight in on this subject with an array of facts that shows the appalling clutch of this incubus on every householder in tho land, and beside which Pharaoh's stunts with the Israelites look like a game of ring-around-a-rosy. This series will be continued In the March Issue. April Is the month In which nil bee colonies should bo examined. We usually have some nice days lu whlct to do this work. $
