A HUBSClHIJER WRITES.
A Good Letter We Received Vcstoi
day Morning.
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.

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

$
Farmers & tellies Sank
with Inactivity on tho part of tho
stomach. 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.
