entrance aroused Mrs. Catherine
Biggs, housekeeper.
Mrs. Biggs' room is located direct
ly over the basement entrance, and
the window was open. AS she looked
out the window, she saw one of tn
men walking down the steps, the other
crouching in the shadow of the
house.
"Get out Of here or Til blow your
brains out" was Mrs. Biggs' morning
salutation to the men.
They appeared startled, and walked
leisurely around the house, attempt
ing then to break into the residence
through what is known as the bishops
porch. Failing in this, they gave up
the attempt, and got away from the
home. Mrs. Biggs had warned the
police just after she shouted to the
men, but the crooks had gotten away
by that time.
Previous to their attempt to get
into the residence by the basement
way, they had attempted to- enter by
the rear door.

closely scrutinize him, as he was
near a mirror. The bandit also car

SETON DROPPED
BY ORGANIZATION
Statement Made That He
Resigned is Not True
Say Officials.

New York, Dec. 9.-Ernest Thomp-
son Seton, who issued a statement
recently, saying he had resigned as
chief scout of the Boy Scouts of
America, did not resign, but was de-
hberately dropped by the national
council of that organization, because
ne is not an American citizen, accord
ing to q statement issued yesterday
by the council. The statement said:
Did Not Resign.
"Mr. Seton did not resign; he was
deliberately dropped by the national
council of the Boy Scouts Of America
on the question of Americanism. He
is not an American citizen. He not
only resented suggestions and re-
quests made by many Of his friends in
the scout movement that he become
an American citizen, but went farther
and objected to the Boy Scout hand
book including a chapter of patriot
ism. The national council did not re-
elect him, because of the belief that
in movement for making men and
citizens Of Americans. there should
be no doubt as to the citizenship and
patriotism Of the leaders of the move-
ment.'
Refused to Comply.
The statement continued:
In fairness to Mr.. Seton, the office
was left vacant until he could be
afforded a reasonable opportunity to
declare his intention of becoming a
citizen of the United States. This he
refused to do.
"In response to Mr.. Seton's attempt
to resign, he was informed that mas
much as he held no Office there was
no office from which he could resign
and the matter was finally closed last
July. Mr.. Seton promised explicitly
by letter that he would quietly pro-
ceed with his own work without rails
ing any issue. He has seen fit to vio-

Clear, Peachy Skin Awaits Anyone Who
 Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break last helps us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry, bright, alert-a good, clear skin and natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. If only every man and woman could be induced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thou sands of sickly, anaemic-loolxing men, women and girls, with pasty Or mud dy complexions unsteady of the multi tudes of nerve wrecks, "rundowns," brain flags" and pessimists We should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosy checked people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour Concentrations and poisons, thus clean sing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before put ting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, biliousness, nasty breath, rheumatism colds; and particularly those who have a pallid. sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trif1e. but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who practice internal sanitation. We must remember that inside cleanliness IS more important than outside, be- cause the skin does not absorb inn purlt1es to contaminate the blood . While the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

VLADIVOSTOk IS
 NOW VODkALESS Little Alcohol in Russian Sea- port ..
(Correspondence of The Associated Press)

(Correspondence of The Associated Press> Vladivostok, Oct. 27.-Vodka- less Vladistok has been realized in spite of predictions that seaport which is the gateway to a rough from trer country could not be enforced non-alcoholic.
 The imperial edict against alcohol has been so thoroughly enforced that | but little liquor is sold. Punishment of bootleggers is so harsh that few men care to engage in the forbidden traffic, regardless of the immense profits it offers.
 Vodka is the one drink which per- sons of all classes of society cherish in Siberia just as in European Russia Before the Czar's order against liquor Vodka sold in Vladivostok at about fifty kopecks or Twenty-Five cents gold a pit. Harbin, which is located in Manchuria and consequently is under Chinese control is the nearest place to Vladivostok where liquor is now sold and the liquor smuggled in from that point for secret sale in Vladivos- tok brings as much as five rubbles or about $2.50 gold, a pint. This price is prohibitive for most men of the humber classes. Yet few of them manage to get liquor and an occasion al drunken peasant is encountered staggering through the streets.
 May Be Obtained.
 There seems to be little disposition on the part of persons higher in the social scale to evade the prohibition tok brings as much as five rubles or and music halls. If the tip is heavy enough wine may be had in private dining rooms at some of the cafes But the walters must be sure of their customers and subject them to the third degree before producing the for bidden beverage.
 The difficulty and expense of getting liquor are so great that pleasure-lov- ing Vladivostok has apparently decid- ed to get along without it and cafes chantants and music halls are making merry on ginger ale, coffee and Rus sian tea served with lemon. The charges for these drinks are quite as high as those for alcohol in ordinary times, so the spender who enjoys liquor chiefly because it is costly can still feel that his money is being kept in circulation.
 "I haven't taken any liquor for three months" the manager of one of the important banks in Vladivostok remarked to the correspondent of The Associated Press 'I don't miss it l now and would feel rather guilty if I | drank in violation of the imperial or 1 der. Most of my friends feel the same | way. The folks in the banking busi- ness have all seen the economic value of prohibition. It has jumped savings accounts up at a rapid rate"

DUTCH TRAFFIC IN
 .C0NTRABANDOFW WAR
Work Scheme by Clever EVasions
 of the Law

Correspondence of rhe Associated Press)
 Amsterdam, Nov. 10:-The Dutch newspapers have recently been turn ing a searchlight on the frontier traffic which is alleged to be furnish ing Germany with many commodities which she needs. According to the Telegraaf there is little actual viola tion of the letter of the Dutch regu- lations regarding contraband, but there is a great deal of skilful evasion which is proving very profitable to the Dutch trader.
 Clever Evasions.
 Fats and oils are contraband, and therefore offer difficulties to the smuggler, but margarine" and soap are in the list of allowed ex- ports. A cartoon in, the Telegraaf shows an endless train of wagons winding along a country road towards the frontier, each wagon loaded with cases labelled Margarine" and soap" and note underneath the picture reads Fats and oils are con- traband, but margarine and soap are all right, so here we go!'
 A correspondent writing \ from -Zoom, which is one of the most convenient points for export to Germany, says: Each freight train which comes in seems to contain greater or smaller number of cases of so-called margarine. The platform is Uttered with them, the storeroom is piled almost to the ceiling. Outside, the station yard is thronged with vehicles. I counted 31 carts, five handcarts, several dogcarts and 90 men with bicycles. The entire troop is commonly referred to by residents of Bergen as the smugglers.'
 Fast Work.
 "As rapidly as possible the cases are hustled out from the station and the frontier There are three roads from Bergen across the frontier. but the 1eniency of the customs officials seems to vary considerably at the '<hree points, and one road is followed by the majority of the margarine laden wagons.
 "I am told that an average of about 10000 pounds of margarine and 2,O00 pounds of soap is sent over the frontier from Bergen-op-Zoom daily. It is commonly believed that the so- called margarine is uneatable, and that the "soap" is useless for wash ing The soap, 1t is said. is a com position of linseed oil, for which there is a great demand in Germany, while the margarine is said to be com posed of certain elements useful for lubrication.''
 It was at Bergen just year ago that the heaviest influx of Belgian refugees reached Holland. The town today is reaping the reward for the warm-hearted welcome with which it received and fed the refugees, for Bergen today, out of the heavy profits of it's trade with Germany, is experiencing an unprecedented pros pcrity.
 Another principal center of trade with Germany, according to the Dutch newspapers, is the point where the Rhine passes from Germany into Hol- land, where, for some distance the fl ontier runs down the middle of the stream.
