YOUR MORNING DRAM.

I LH It Be a Glass of Water and Enjoy an Inside Bath. Prink a glass of water when you get Out of bed In the morning. Never mind the size of the glass. Let the water be cokl if you will. Some people prescribe hot water, but that isn’t neces--1 Barf. You may have washed your face already and relished the experience, i You may have taken a cold plunge into the tub and delighted In the shock and Its reaction. The brisk use of the toothI brash has left your clean and ' the breath sweet. But you are dirty still. I Drink a glass of cold water and enjoy the sensation of being clean inside. All that Is luxurious in the cold bath cleansing the outside is artificial. That which should prompt the glass of water after sleeping Is natural. Drink a glass of cold water In the | name of cleanliness. It becomes one of the shortest and easiest of toilet duties. It Is swallowed In a second, and In five minutes It has passed from | the stomach, taking with It the clogging secretions of the alimentary j tracts. It has left behind the stimulus that goes with cold water, and, by flll- ■ lng the arterial system to the normal, it puts a spur to the circulation that has j grown sluggish in the night—Chicago Chronicle.
