One doctor advocated the driuking of us much ax three gallons of water a .day in very warm weather, reducing the amount when the weather lx cool er, hut never drinking lesx than a gal lon a day, "Why," xahl the phyxldan, "two thirds of the weight of the body is water. In a very warpi day In Au gust an average man who lx at work will pergjrire from two to six quarts of water a day. Where is it all coin ing from If you don't drink it? Many |x>isohx generated hy the body- are ex uded through the ix>re? of the skin in pertfpiratioii,. Many iieraoiip think they at4? not perspiring unlesx they can see heads of water on the skin. But we perspire at all times, walking and sleeping, and we do not see it becauxi It evaporatex Immediately. It is al most impossible to drink too much water." , Another doctor said : "I ?aw a short article In the- Star the other evening quoting an eminent medical authority as saying that all girls and women who wished to have good complexions should drink two quarts of water a day. I would double that and advise them to drink four quarts a day. (Jive thy body plenty of pure water, inside and . outside, a gallon a day iushlc. a thorough bathing of the whole body at least once a day, fresh air at all times, night and day, and- plenty of exercise, preferably by outdoor walk ing, and y??u can't \verv Well l>5~slck. If every one would ji? that oHedialf the doctors would have to seek -other' business. If every woman would do that 1 1 ??? roUge and complexion powder factories would shut down. There Is nothing xo good as plenty of water drunk every/day for the complexion." A physician said : "I am not claim2*] lug that the drinking of plenty of .water is a preventive of all diseases; that would lie misleading and silly, Vnit I will say this: I have cured sev eral bad cases ojf rheumatism and many cases of stomach trouble w^th water alone. In those cases the patients were in the habit of drinking very llltle water. I prescribed a quart of water before breakfast in the morning and a gallon drunk throughout the day, and a quart on going to bed at night. It worked a cure in each case. "I say this, most emphatically, that a half-gallon or a gallon of water a day will help wash out the toxic pois < lis that are found in the body,; and will tend to keep a person In good health and help him resist disease; "There is constantly being accumu lated in the laxly not only waste mut ter, resulting from chemical chiiiiges taking place In the upkeep of the vital energy, but also the blood takes up toxic poisons from the Intestines. Un less those things are thrown off by the lungs, skin, kidneys, etc., wo be como-la/.y. dlspe'ptic and' uric acid will accumulate and cause rheumatism, kid ney disorder and other organic dis tdrbances. Now such conditions would' be much less likely to ensue were the simple precaution be taken of drinking 11 pint of water often throughout the day. Especially Is this true of persons who take little exercise and who live indoors, where they breathe impure air. "I oftett prescribe the slow sipping of at least a pint of hot water in the morning while dressing. This washes out the -stomach, stimulates ' the cir culation in the lungs and skin and pro motes the action of the liter: If a person has tendency to gout or rheu matism ?the water drinking habit is) especially recommended." One physician was found who re commended the drinking of a (ptarll of water witli~oaoh meal, but the ma- j jorlty were opposed to drinking water while eating.

H bile ,Tlie Index ia not ready to withdraw lta prediction, based on in tuition rather than solid facts and con ditions, that the great war will end before the year ta out, it realize* that the present outlook is \ far from en couraging for an early end. The opinion of the venerable scient ist, Sir Willlan Crookes, that it will be tt long war, but that the Allies will grow In power as the war Is prolonged la a good statement 'of one of the keen est and sanest minds in the world Sir William admits that the Allies started badly, they were not as well .prepared ns the (iermans but says that he does not know anybody who can be blamed for that state; of things. The Allien have done very well considering and will soon be on equality with their foes so far as fighting efficiency is ?concerned. Though the war may be long, the longer it lasts, the stronger will be the Allies. They must set themselves to wear out the (iermans. To < do thla they must press steadily and quietly- forward on. the road. It is not necessary to take cities and exe cute wonderful marches. All they have got to do Is tq go on with their absolute and unquestionable duty of thinning the enemy. It must be a fight of endurance, of sapping, weakening ?and destroying by that process. Tlie war will be won, lie thinks, not by fury of attack and .gallantry but by hanging on. He who hangs On longest will win and a man who thinks at all must admit that the Allies can hang on almost indefinitely whereas the oth ers cannot. Time fights for the Allies. As a parallel, though liot a complete one, it may be recalled that the Con federates bad success for almost three years. Numbers, money and endurance will tell. (Jennauy has lasted this long and will last longer because she lias been preparing for it for years while , the South was unprepared and made uup for this In fury of attack and gal lantry. but the doggedncss of the oth er side told and will tell again.?
