Only Few Days With
er out Water
The importance tof water in nutri
tion is a subject frequently overlooked
or minimized by most nutritionists.
However, water has a greatest import
ance to life than any food. In fact, it
is second only to oxygen in import
ance.
Life can go on for weeks without i
food but at the most only a few days
without water. When a person fasts,
100 per cent of body fat is lost and
approximately one half of the protein
before death qpcurs, but loss of only
10 per cent of the body’s water results
in serious physiological damage.
Twenty per cent loss results in death.
Importance of Water
Why is water so important to living
things,
Aa early as 1855 Claude .Bernard,
the great French biologist and physi
ologist said, “All living things live
in water.” Each cell in the body is
•“not only filled with fluid but is sur
rounded by fluid. Each cell acquires
its food by absorbing it through the
(*cell wall from this surrounding fluid.
It returns to the fluid the waste pro
ducts it produces during its growth.
' If sufficient water is not provided,
the concentration of foodstuffs in the
fluid changes. Absorption of the food
through the cell walls in exchange for
#aste products then becomes impos
sible, and the cell dies. Consider that
every cell in the body is dependent on
this process for life and the true im
port of water can be seen.
The requirement for water is often
increased in disease by reason of ex
cessive wastage through increased
kidney, bowel, and sweat activity, and
often times hemorrhage. Lactating
women require more water ingested
to make up the loss through milk.
No Water Stored
The body does not store water even

though excess quantities are consum
ed. Since this is true, it becomes
necessary to assure a daily intake
equal to the day’s losses. When you
consider that 2 to 3 pints of water are
excreted from the kidney of normal
persons each day and a similar
amount through respiration, the vol
ume needed for replacement begins
to assume sizable proportions.
Water enters the body in three main
forms; water in potable form by it
self; water contained in soups, coffee,
tea, milk, gravy and other foods; and
that which is chemically produced in
the body in the process of assimilation
and utilization of foods.
As the normal body loses from 6
to 8 pints of water each day, it is
necessary that at least this amount
be ingested from the three sources
about to maintain the proper fluid
balance and thus help to keep in good
, health.

DRUGS AGAINST TB,
Ever since the discovery in 1882 j
of the germ which causes tuberculosis, |
an intensive search has gone on for,
a drug which would effectively com-1
bat TB, a disease which kills more
, young adults between 15 and 35 than
any other disease, though no drug
which will cure tuberculosis has yet
i been found.
Certain drugs in recent years, how
, ever, have proved of great help in
treating certain types of tubercu
, losis. Outstanding among these drugs
, is streptomycin.
Streptomycin is neither a specific
[ TB cure nor a substitute for the bed
• rest which is basic in the treatment
■ of tuberculosis. Instead, it serves as
; a support to nature, impeding the
i growth of TB germs so that the body
■ can cencentrate its forces on fight
ing the disease.
i One major difficulty in the use of
■ streptomycin is that fact that some
l TB germs develop a resistance to the
I drug. To counteract this, streptomy
f cin is usually used today with another
1 drug. The drug of choice is usually
FAS, or para-aminosalicylic acid,
which appears to delay the develop
i ment of resistant germs. PAS, of it-

self, has some power against the mul
tiplication of TB germs, but at pres
ent its main value seems to be in
combination with strentomycin.
The doctor is the one to decide
whether or not drugs should be used
j in the treatment of each patient. How
ever, there are two severe forms of
j the disease for which the use of
streptomycin is almost invariably in
dicated: tuberculosis meningitis and
military tuberculosis. Both forms of
the disease were practically 100 per
cent fatal before the discovery and use
of streptomycin.
So far, there is no “sure cure” or
“magic cure” for tuberculosis, in the
form of a drug or otherwise. The dis
covery of a drug which will kill TB
germs swiftly and surely, once they
attack a patient, lies in the future.
At the same time, progress made in
that direction within the past decade
holds out every hope that such a drug
may be found.

“Deerproof,” “foxproof,” “rabbit
proof,” are all familiar expressions
with hound fancier and when a
hound consistently proves he can live
up to one or more of them his value
grows and grows.
Nothing is more exasperating to
the fox or coon hunter than to have
his hounds run rabbits, unless it is
for them to go off on a futile chase
of deer. To break a fox or coon
hound of running the wrong game is
•sometimes a difficult task. But it is
not impossible in the vast majority
of cases.
The use of game scents, or musks,
. in the “proofing” of trail hounds
. against undesired game is growing.
[ It is painless, easy to administer and
generally quickly effective. To get
, the dope on the use of these scents
j Henry P. Davis, one of our top dog
writers, went right to the man who
• probably knows most about them,
i That man is Pete Rickard of iCoble
’ skill, New York. Through years of
I experience he has found that the sim
, plest way of using scents is the best.
He makes scents for the proofing of
~ dogs against deer, coon, fox, rabbit

Davis asked Richard about the use i
of steel traps with the scent (the jaws I
wrapped with scent-impregnated <
cloth) and the system of applying
the scent to a sack over the dog’s :
head for several hours. They also ]
discussed other methods of forcefully '
breaking the dog of running tabooed
trails.
“I don’t recommend the use of force
in any form,” said Rickard. “There
is no necessity for it at all when the
scent is properly applied, and whip
ping the dog for running the wrong
trail may make him afraid of any
kind of trail.
“All that is necessary is to apply
i a little scent each day around the ears
' and head of the dog. The scent is
i quite powerful and soon becomes so
i obnoxious to the dog that he wants
i no part of it, either at the home ken
' nel or in the field.
“A great many of the dogs so treat-1
, ed respond quite quickly, requiring
i only about four day’s treatment. But
, we recommend an occasional supple-
I mental application for a while, partic
; ularly during the hunting season.”
