ll meals. There is a continual and increased
accumulation of waste matter which must be thrown off by the lungs,
kidneys bowels, and skin; so that clogging of one channel of
elimination makes more work for one or more of the other eliminative
organs.

Sometimes the craving for food is excessive, and the desire to nibble
between meals is quite troublesome. These unusual feelings should be
controlled or ignored. A glass of orangeade will sometimes satisfy
this unnatural craving. Save your appetite for meal time--for a good
appetite means good digestion--all things equal. The woman who
habitually eats between meals is the sluggish, constipated individual
who needs to acquire self-control and learn self-mastery.

WATER DRINKING

Water is the circulating medium of the body, from which the digestive
secretions are formed, and by which the food is assimilated and
distributed to individual cells. And, finally, water is the agent for
dissolving and removing waste products from the body through the
various eliminating organs. We literally live, think, and have our
being, as it were, under water. The tiny cell creatures of our bodies,
from the humble bile workers of the liver to the exalted thinking
cells of the brain, all carry on their work submerged. Accordingly,
the amount of water we drink each day, determines whether the liquids
circulating through our tissues shall be pure, fresh, and life-giving,
or stagnant, stale, and death-dealing.

Thirst is the expression of the nervous system, constituting a call
for water, the same as hunger represents a call for food. Pure water,
free from all foreign substances, is the best liquid with which to
quench this thirst.

It is just as important to supply abundance of water for the proper
bathing and cleansing of the internal parts of the body, as it is to
wash and bathe the external skin frequently. The living tissues are
just as literally soiled and dirtied by their life action and their
poisonous excretions, as is the skin soiled by its excretions of sweat
and poisonous solids. Thus the regular drinking of water is absolutely
necessary to enable the body to enjoy its internal bath, and this
internal cleansing is just as grateful and refreshing to the cells and
tissues, as is the external bath to the nerves which exist in the
skin.

The total amount of water necessary varies according to the nature of
one's work, the amount of sweating from the skin, the moisture of the
atmo
