DRINK MORE COLD WATER.
, The natural drink of. the entire animal kingdom is water. Tho human race is departing more and more from this rule, so that at the present time large numbers of people never drink it in its natural state. This is said quite apart from tho question of alcohol. Teetotallers drink tea or coffee for breakfast; at lunch comparatively few drink water, arid in most clubs barley water is provided as a last resource for those who don't want alcohol, don't like lemonade, ginger-beer or other flavoured beverages, yet share tho strange but common dislike for plain water. Probably this is partly a bad habit engendered in early youth by that evil ol school life, the tuck shop, and this theory is strengthened by the fact that even in restaurants women frequently drink; water, whereas men appear to bo ashamed to ask for it. Iu girls' schools the tuck shop has never been a fashion, and girls do not so often form this bad habit of seeking flavoured beverages when they are thirsty. Certainly wo should at least sometimes give our "bodies a draught of cold water and realise what a good thing it is.
