Notes by the Way

N the report of tho External Aud- itors. Mcssrs. W, L. Poole and H. A. Scurth, the need of moreloffice ac- commodation in the mgislatirc Building ls brought under review. This is u need which has existed for years past and has become more urgent from year to year. More room l5 needed for the Legislative and Dodd Libraries as new books are be- lng added by bequests and otherwise and there is no space in which to set up the needed new shelving. Al.‘ the some time there is a growing conviction that the Confederation Room, the very Cradle of the Union of the Provinces. must be preserved intact and no longer utilized for mero office space- has historic associations and tradi-

and that: are treasured throughout the Dominion as ‘a. commgh ‘herit- age by the people of Odnadfl-

It has become necessary, bcciiusc the mass of books has outgrown the robin in which they alrc housed. that. they shall be provided with a larger room elsewhere. ' And ‘the demand for more ‘office makes it nepessnry that the Library room shall be utilized for office pur- poses. Wherefore somothing null} be done to provide housing for the Library. Various methods havé been proposed by which the problem may be solved. One qf these isthe erec- tion of n new building by the Pro- vincial Government on some part of Queen Square, in which at least the principal port of the books would be located on the, ground floor to avoid the climbing of stairs.

linutlicr plan that. has bccn moot- cd is to acquire tlic Markctvlluilding and refit thc interior for the pur- poses of a Library and Museum. the market to bc removed to new pre- mises not more than a block or two awny. This would have sonic dc- cidedly improving and satisfactory features. It would keep the Library in a. central location and-make it easier of access. Better still, it, would enable the west end of Queen l Square to be cleaned up. made tidy and beuutiflcd in conformity with the central and eastern parts. At present the Square may be describ- ed as in part fair and ornamental and in part rather unsightly and maiodorous. l

But merchants find that the inur- kct where it is and as it. is draws customers from both city and coun- try to their stores, and for this rea- son they would object to its remov- al. This fact. together with the necessity of both the Government and tht: City Council coming to an agreement. in regard to the matter are obstacles in the way. Both the Provincial and Civic authorities in common with our citizens should bc interested in making our central

than the withdrawal of food. As a

W115 °f hlghdwnm m the province matter of fact a large proportion ofl$gese

body weight is due to water, about 60 w '10 mr cent. _

Water dissolves the food stuffs and. helps to distribute them throughout thc body by means of the blood, removes injurious waste from the‘ cells of the body, and keeps the temperature within nar row limits‘, about one or two degrees 9'1 to 99o F, by its evaporation. The body uses every day a grea. dcai of water.‘ In dlgcsiicnalon lt uses in saliva in mouth. gastri Juice in stomach, bile from liver pancreas, ‘and in intestinal iuice it- self. about six or seven pints of water. practically ail of which, 98 per cent, is absorbed back into the blood again before the waste of the intestine icavcs the, body.

The average individual in his daily food including liquids, takes in about four pints of wafer. If he taker. more than this Nature will take care of it for him. Ii. doesn't. dilute the blood, but. in many cases gcts stored in the muscles and the skin.

Now when he exercises, this mus- cle gives up this water.

What would happen when he ex- ercised if he did not have this loosely hcld waicr in thc muscles and skin’!

The cxcrclsc would use up some of the fat of his body. instead of this water, thus actually reducing weight.

Thus you sec water actually pre- serves thc fat iu many individuals. I mentioned once before. that. the winner of the diamond scuiis at Henley. decided to reduce his weight by boxing, with the idea, of trying for the honor again. After strenuous workouts. scales showing a loss of three pounds daily, he was the some weight one month lutcr as when lie started.

Why?

Because he drank a couple of quarts of water after his workouts. and. kept a jug of water at his bed- side and drank nnothcr couple of quarts during tho night,

What is my thought?

That Whilc most of us can drink all the water we want and more, and if. will be of help to us physic- ally, overweight individuals shouldl cut down not, only on their water intake, but on salt also, which thus‘ lessens thirst, and hcllas to increase the outgo of fluids from the body. Every boxer and jockey knows this bccause it means his very livlihood.

Good ice favored both seasons, the difference being that winter navigation was still wrapped in the bosom of the future. Now we are in telegraphic. stemm- bouf. and railway communication with the whole continent and the contrast is too great for description. Just for amusement and informin- lion. we shall copy a few of the notes of the historian, as f0ll0ws:— Speaking of January. February and March, 1821, he says‘. "It isworthy‘ of remark. as affording a striking pioof of the mildness of the past winterthat in one month only (February) was there a total cessa» tion of held labor. The months of January and March both witnesscdl the plough at work. We had, how- cver, rather an unseasonablc fall of snow lust night and this morning (April 11).
