1)0 DRINK WATER AT MEALS.
Many Benefits Doctors Say to Be
Derived From Habit.
The long aecepted tradition that
the drinking freely of water at
meals by diluting the gastric juice
retards digestion is at last passing.
In the last five years many experi-
ments and careful observations en
human beings have shown that the
taking of considerable quantities of
water with food causes s marked in-
crease both in the quantity and the
digestive strength of the gastric
juice. Not only that, but fasting
can be borne longer with less Loss
of weight and strength when an
abundance of water is allowed, thus
indicating that water promotes eco-
nomical nutrition—a consummation
which surely is devoutly to be wish-
ed in these days of high prices.
The Journal of the American
Medical Association has previously.
called attention to these recent ob-
servations end reviews the subject
once more in its current number.
Every phase of the subject has been
studied, Not only stomach secre-
tions but other digestive ferments,
those of the pancreas and of the
intestinal glands, were also stimu-
lated by water in considerable
amounts.
It was noted that very cold wa-
ter acted to inhibit digestion. The
digestive process does not begin un-
til the contents of the atomach have •
been brought up to the body --tem-
perature, otherwise water.•drinking
with meals, unless there' is some
pathological condition of the stom-
ach, as dils•tion whiehcentre-indi-
cates it, always does good instead
of harm, in spite of ,the age -long
tradition to the contrary..

Lesson IL—Man the Crown of Cre-
ation. Gen. 1. 26, 27; 2. 425..
Golden Text, Gen. 1. 27.
GEN. 1. 28, 27.
The seleotion of printed verses
forming the basis for this lesson is
intended to set clearly before the
students the .ultimate purpose
which the combined creation narra-
tives o£ Genesis were to serve. Tliat
purpose was none other than to im-
press the reader with the fact that
God is the creator of all things,
visible and invisible, and that man,
made in the image and after the
likeness of God, is the superlative
and crowning work of the divine
creation. Our lesson, therefore,
reaches back to that portion of the
preceding chapter in which man's
preeminence over the other works
of creation is recorded.
Verse 20. Let us make man—.The
plural of majesty, used also in the
next phrase, in our image, and in
Gen. 3. 22, "Behold, the man is be-
come as oneof us" ; in 11. 7,
"Come, let us go down, and there
confound their language" ; and in
Isa. 6. 8, "Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us?"
After our likeness—An immateri-
al resemblance, consisting primar-
ily in the possession of self-consci-
ous reason and free will, These
form the ground or basis of man's
preeminence over the lower ani-
mals.
GEN. 2. 7-9, 16.24.
7, The breath of life—The author
has clothed in simple language his
naive conception of the way in which
man, as it were, becomes a frag-
ment of the divine life.
8. A garden—The original word
translated garden means literally
an inclosure, and in its general
application more particularly a
park. It is the werd from which
comes our English word paradise.
Eastward The original home of
man is placed by the author in the
far -distant East, in the region of
the Tigris and Euphrates. the seat
of the most ancient and inffluential
civilization known to the Hebrews.
Eden—The Hebrew word means
pleasure, or delight.
9. The tree of life—The tree whose
fruit renders those who eat it im-
mortal.
10-14. The four rivers referred to
in these verses have been the sub-
ject of much controversy, though
none of the thePries advanced con-
cerning their location and identifi-
cation has yet found any large de-
gree of acceptance. Only the fourth
river, the .. well-known Euphrates,
can be definitely identified,
15. The garden of Eden—Called
in the earliest Latin translation of
the Old Testament' the paradise of
pleasure, and in the earliest Greek
translation the paradise of Eden.
From these expressions has been
derived our English word paradise
as a name both icor Eden and for
the Christian heaven.
To dress it—To properly care for
the plants and trees, and to keep
or guard the garden.
16, 17. Jehovah . God commanded
the man, saying . . . . thou shalt
surely' die—"Man is not designed
solely to till andkeep the' garden.
There are dormant in him capaoi-
ties of moral and • religious attain-
ment, which must be exercised, de-
veloped and tested. A command -is
herefore laid upon him, adapted
to draw out his character, and to
form a standard by which it may
be tested. It is a short and simple
command, unaccompanied even by
a reason ; but it is sufficient for the
purpose; man's full knowledge'. of
what he must do or not do can be
attained only as the result of 'a long
moral' and spiritual development,
t cannot exist at the beginning.
nd the command relates to some-
hing to be avoided : the acknow-
edgment of a limintation, imposed
pon his creaturely freedom by
isCreatorand Lord, must be for
man tho starting point of everyt-
hing else."•'-Dillman.

24. One flesh --The institution of
monogamic marriage is explained
by the writer as the direct couse-
quenee of a relation established by
the Creator. This verse is quoted
by Jesus as an argument against
divorce for trilling reasons (Matt.
19. 6; Mark 10. 7), white the apostle
Paul cites it in an exhortation
against uncitasity (1 Cor. 6, 10) and
as illustrating the relation of the
church to Christ, its head (Eph. 6.
31).
SHORTHAND HAS HISTORY.
Says Shakespeare's Plays Wore
First Written In It,
During the reign of Queen Eliza-
beth, writes A.. T. Dolling in the
Strand Magazine, there was a sud-
den revival of interest in shorthand
in England. . Dr. Timothy Bright
published his system, the first Eng-
lish one, in 1588, and was followed
in 1590 by Peter Bales. In 1602
game John Willis, who was the first
to devise a method on alphabetical
lines, a method crude indeed when
compared with modern standards,
but nevertheless the forerunner of
all our modern systems.
Scholars are in doubt whether it
was the system of Bright or Willis
which was used for taking down
Shakespeare's plays. For, little as
we pause to reflect upon it, Shakes-
peare's plays were nearly all first
taken down in shorthand, and it is
from the reporter's transcripts that
the plays were, for the most part,
printed in the poet's lifetime. It is
this fact that accounts for the odd
variants in the text.
As all the world knows, the inimi-
table Samuel Pepys wrote his diary
in shorthand, and lot the same
means took down, in 1680, Charles
II.'s own account of the battle of
Worcester. Previous to this the
debates in the House of Commons
at the time of the arrest of the five
members by Charles I. weee said to
have been taken down verbatim by
one John Rushworth.
TELL CHILDREN DANGERS.
Should Be Taught Best Way in
Which to Cross Street.
The education of children in the
beat manner in which to cross a
street was re°ommended by 'Mr.
Ingleby Oddie, . the Battersea coro-
ner, at an inquest held upon a
schoolboy who had been killed by a
motor omnibus. The coroner said
that the case was one of those in-
evitable accidents which would
happen so long as children played
about the streets. There was a
• great outcry against motor omni-
bus drivers, but in his experience
he found that they drove very care-
fully, and he also found that • very
often the blame was really on the
shoulders of the person killed.
It would not do in these days to i
oroas a street without Iooking. The
only way in which to avoid aecidents
was for parents and school teach-
ers to instil into the minds of the
children the dangers of the streets
of London, It was a matter of edu-
cation, They must be educated to
understand bow to cross a street.
Parents could not be too careful to
warn their children of the danger.

TEACUP HABIT.' EXPANDS.
Should Be Corresponding Enlarge-
ment in Producing Area.
The teacup habit seems to be
growing everywhere. The world's
tea consumption has been estimated
at about 700.000,000 pounds, and in
order to keep pace with the increas-
ing demand one authority writing
in the Times considers that at least
20.000 acres, yielding ten or twelve
million pounds, ought to be added
annually to the producing area.
Tea consumption in Great Bri-
tain increased during 1911 by over
13,000.010 pounds. The per capita
consumption was 6.53 pounds dur-
ing the year.
On the Continent of Europe the
habit of' drinking tea is gaining
ground, in some parts rapidly, in
others more slowly.
In Belgium .since the abolition of
the duty in 1897 consumption has
advanced about 70 per Bent.
Holland consumes more tea per
head than any European country
except the United Kingdom and
Russia. Denmark comes next to
Holland. The Irish. it seems from
the report, are wiser than people in•
Great Britain, for they buy better
few, which gives more liquid and of
finer quality.
STRICT CURB ON SALOONS.
Birmingham, England, Magistrates
Approve Drastic Proposals.
Further drastic proposals with
reference to licensing have been ap-
proved by the Birmingham (Eng -
and) magistrates..
Recently they 'decided that wo-
men and persons under sixteen
should not be served with drink be-
ersfnoon, and also that the open -
ng hour •of lioensed premises be
altered from 6 to 8.30 a.m.
It was resolved that the hours of
opening Sundays should be between
noon and 1.30 and 8 and 9.30 p.m.,
and, further, that the basis of the
lieonse duty should be the quantity
of intoxicatiug liquor sold.
Another resolution was in favor
of the abolition of grocers' licenses
and the prohibition of the sale of
beer in flagons.
A recommendation that clubs.
should be on the same footing as
licensed premises as to police super-
vision and as to the hours during
whittle - intoxicating liquors may bo

'3' --
Ape Trained to Work.
The •Gaulois-of Paris, France, as-
serts that a farmer in the neighbor-
hood of Paris employs on his farm
an ape brought -from .Central Africa
by his -son, a non-commissioned ofli-
cor in the Freueh colonial army.
The apo works in the cowsheds,
looking after the cows and milking
then, as if it had never done any-
thing• else in its life. This recalls
a saying among the Africans, adds
the Gaulois, that monkeys could
speak if they wished, but that they
do not• wish as they aro afraid of
being made to work.
Some people find ,pleasure but a
stepping stone to misery.

Protection against cold and our
modern standard of decency are
two good reasons for wearing
clothes; yet one anay bathe in alt

regards them in the light of a neeea-

it is also often a very heavy handi-
cap. It hangs upon, clings to, or
is bound to onepart of the body
more than to another and this in-

goue to Bulgaria, to Montenegro
and to Servia fifty surgeons who are
n charge of about 2,000 beds, writes

ounds in Servian soldiers, and ex-
