Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. I-I Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with pliosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels tho previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of lime stone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or from the store, but is sufficient to make anyone who U bothered with biliousness, constipa tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of in ternal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better In every way shortly.— AQV. SYMPTOMS PLAIN TO HIM Elderly Medical Man Had His Own idea of Diagnosing Case in Which He Was Interested. "What is your diagnosis?" asked the older physician of his young con frere, who is earnest but inexperi enced, and who has been called in consultation. “Well,” says the younger medico, ‘there doesn't seem to be much tha matter. The patient has a slight fever and some light tightness of the chest. 1 should say there was nothing more than a cold bothering him.” "My boy,” said the older man, kind ly, “you have gone about it wrong. Xote these symptoms: A white mar hie stairway in the entrance hall, goli furniti -e in the parlor, cut glass and pilvor galore in the dining roor., two automobiles in the side yard, h solid mahogany—” “But what has that got to do with the sickness of Mr. Gumpurse?" “It. has lots to do with it. The mar, has congestion of the bank account, and the proper move for us to make is to relieve that as much as possible." Exaggerate'* Peace. “Of course, you are in favor of pea.'/• “Certainly. But I don’t want to be equipped with nothing but arguments in case I meet the kind of man whost one idea of peace is to have all his enemies stowed way in a, graveyard." Naturally.

When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the better health that a change to Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. “My mother, since her early child hood, was an inveterate coffee drink er, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that ‘weak all-over’ feeling and sick stomach. "irWimo time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the mer chants of the place. 1 noticed a some what unusual flavor of the ’coffee' and asked him concerning it. He re plied that it was Postum. “I was so pleased with it that I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so well that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. “I had been very anxious concern ing my mother’s condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time she felt much better, had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This con tinued until she was well and hearty. “I know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the family, especially my mother, as she was a victim of long standing.’’ Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form— must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack ages.

MEXICAN PROBLEM ! ISSUES ARISING FROM EURO PEAN WAR HAVE BEEN COM PLETELY OVERSHADOWED. FIGHT OVER AMBASSADOR Senator Gore of Oklahoma Consider ing Submitting Resolution to Direct Use of American Armed Forces as Aids to Carranza Forces. Washington.—The problem of re curing protection for American life 1 and property in Mexico, revived by the Santa Ysabel murders, is expected to be a dominant subject in the pro ceedings of Congress. Issues arrising from the Kuropean war have been completely overshadowed by it and other important legislative measures under consideration are not drawing ordinary attention. There is sure to be more of the fer- , vid discussion of the Mexican prob- j lem that enlivened sessions of the 1 past week. Members unanimously insist the Santa Ysabel bandits be punished, but the majority opposes intervention. Mexico will be the basis of formal consideration by the Senate Foreign j Relations Committee, when the nomi nation of Henry Fletcher as ambassa dor to General Carranza's government will be taken up. Opposition sena tors will oppose confirmation vigor ously and it generally is admit*ed nothing can be done toward confirma tion until the Republicans have been appeased by an aswer from President Wilson to Senator Fall's resolution asking for reasons which led to rec ognition of C&rranaza.

FIFTH EXPLOSION AT DU PONT PLANT SMALL WHEEL MILL BLEW UP IN HAGLEY YARDS ON OUT SKIRTS OF CITY. Wilmington. Pel.—The fifth explo sion in two days at the Pu Pont pow der plant in this vicinity occurred in the Hagley yards on the outskirts of this city. A small wheel mill blew up, and beyond destroying the build ins; and about a ton of powder no aamage was done. No one was in the mill. The fourth explosion occurred at the smokeless powder plant at Car ney's Point, N. J.. across the Pelaware Kiver from Wilmington. Thirteen tons of powder went off without in juring any one. There was a blast at Carney's Point which killed three men, and an ex plosion at the Hagley yards and an other one at Carney's Point. "The large number of explosions at this time." said a representative of the company, is undoubtedly due to the fact that the company’s force is 100 times as great as when the European war broke out, and there is so miTcfl more work to bo done. It is also a fact that nearly all of the orders are hurried, and it is also true that some of the operatives have not been at the business long enough to acquire th^ experience of many of the older men.” Another Strike Riot.

Bolivar Women Endorse “Outside” Treatment For Children’s Colds _ I t Instead of Dosing Delicate Little Stom achs They Recommend the External Treatment — Vap-O-Rub. Mrs. M. J. Porter, and Mrs. J. Jacques, of Rolivar, Mo., and Mrs. M. E. Ferrel, on Rural Route No. 2, like all intelligent mothers, believe internal medicines are bad for children, and yet cold troubles must have some kind of treatment. When Vick's Vap-O-Rub was introduced here from the South last season these ladies found it filled the need exactly. Vap-O-Rub is ! a salve, which, when applied to the warmth of the body, is vaporized by the body heat. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication through the air passages to the lungs, and, in addition, Vick's is absorbed through the skin, relieving the tight ness and soreness. This two fold action makes Vap-O-Rub useful for a wide variety of inflammations—from inflammations of tho air passages and lungs, such as head colds, catarrh, asthmatic troubles, bronchitis and deep chest colds—down to inflamma tions of the skin and tissues, such as burns, bruises, stings, pl’es and mus cular soreness. Mrs. Porter says—"Vap-O-Rub is very tine for sore throat, rheumatism, etc. I tako pleasure in recommend ing it.” Mrs. Jacques says—"I have usod soveral bottles of Vick's Vap-O-Uub. and have found it better than Inter nal medicines." Mrs. Ferrel writes—''We have given Vap-O-Rtih a fair trial and find it ex cellent for croup, colds, sore throat, etc. It is certainly fine for children. Wa have also found it very good in cases of sunburn, fever sores and muscu lar rheumatism." Three sizes, 25c, 50c or $1.00. NOTICE:—Last winter, in order to acquaint their customers with Vap-O Rub, a number of druggists through out the state presented complimentary jars to a few of their customers, on condition that they give this prepara tion a thorough trial and report the results. By kind permission these re ports are now being used in this se ries of advertisements. 66^ _ Th* Grnulnerta* w this Trade Mar\ J J I a M M m £ i^ j ! w r‘°an s I *Jy««wem ; . - «*'°'P a tott/c i„ ********* “'■• “'• -
