through the glasses. There are
Germans In madhouses today who
watched this shooting to pieces OF

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal
a certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimi-
mated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bac-
terra which infest the bowels. From
this mass of leftover waste toxins
and ptomaine-like poisons are formed
and sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days

and to keep the entire alimentary

Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliOusness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,

ness, or have a sour, gaSSy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing

very little, but is sufficient to make

SAVES The DAY
Oklahoma viii Supply Topeka
With Thanksgiving Birds.
Consignment of 1000 Turkeys
Due to Arrive Tomorrow.

There has been considerable alarm
over the Thanksgiving turkey which
so far as Topeka housewives are con-
cerned will prove needless. One of
our leading poultry dealers, having
canvassed the fields thoroughly sew
eral weeks since, realized that Kan
sas turkeys could not be well enough
developed to grace the ariStOcrat'S
table properly and at once proceeded to
secure supplies from Oklahoma and
Texas, from which states the fowls
show good finish. The firm will re-
ceive Sunday and Monday nearly 1900
turkeys which will be distributed
through the local markets at very
reasonable prices.
While the general quotations may
at first appear unreasonably high, yet
the consumer should take into consid-
Grafton that our state lawmakers
have placed such restrictions on the
retailer that he can now only sell tur-
key meat suitable TOR food with the
offal consisting of head, feet and en-
trails removed before selling; hence
your turkey will not weigh so much
by from 1 " to pounds as formerly
and will cost in the aggregate ap-
proximately the same per bird as it
has for the past four or five seasons.
For those who do not wish to invest
in such large fowl as the average tur-
key there will be a big supply of web
footed fowls; for Kansans will re-
member for years, that the weather
during the summer months of 1915
was truly good for ducks With an
abundance of mud and water to wade
and splash in, succeeded by such
quantities of grain the ''quack-
quacks' have developed into well fat
tened fowls and are so plentiful the
price will be about the same as "chick-
