Says glass of hot water before
breakfast washes poisons

Physicians the world over recon-
is of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teasoOnful
of limestone phosphate in it. as a
harmless means OF helping to wash
from the stomach. liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days fndigest-

toxins; thus cleansing, Sweetening and
purifying the entire alinentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water
and Limestone phosphate act on the
e1iminative organs.
Those who wake up with bad
breath. coated tongue, nasty taste or

complexion. acid stomach; others who
are subject to bilious attacks or con-
stipation. should obtain a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the

but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value of inside bathing. Those who
continue it each morning are assured

A report circulated this morning
that a general increase in wages had
been granted to employees of the
AtchisOn. Topeka & Santa Fe Railway

employees are paid THE pay Of sew

" increased-five in Topeka The in

service, and are granted only in cases
in five years, and to employees receiv-
ing less than 500 a month En-
plolees at stations. track foremen and
civil engineers coming under the rule
are benefited thereby"
Mr. Copeland explained that en-
ployees in the service five years who
have not in that period had an in
crease. received an advance of S2-50
month: in the service ten years and
of IS a month, and so on up to those
in the service twenty-five years, who
receive an advance of $3.50 a month
The Topekans profiting by the rule on
the 18th of December were a track
foreman, a station clerk and three
men in the division engineers office
There is a rumor that the rule will
be made applicable to employees in
other departments. but il cannot be

QUAILS ARE WHITE
Geo. W. Meter OF Topeka Has
Three Mounted Specimens.
Believed To Be the Only Ones
in the World.

To a Topekan. Geo. w. Metzger, an
engineer on the Santa Fe railway for
more than thirty-five years, belongs
the credit of accomplishing a feat
which has perhaps never brought joy
to the heart of a hunter-that is, kill
ing three pure white quaiIs, the only
ones known to be in existence
Back in 1889, when Mr.. Metzger
did night engine duty, he spent part
OF each day hunting on the lakes near
Winthrop, Mo, and although a hunts
man for years, he considers the above
named feat his masterpiece
Living at Atchison. Kan, which was
a mecca in those days for nimrods
he one day heard a report brought to
the city by farmers and hunters. that
four white Quails had been seen in the
country around Winthrop, Mo. The
report spread rapidly and every
hunter, with his faithful pointer.
secured the lakes for the quails.
Mr.. Metzger realized that to bag
them would be quite an accomplish
ment SO he set out upon the task
Mr.. Tortat. a grocer and taxidermist
of Atchison. was one of Mr. Metzger's
ed and they both set out, with their
dogs to seek the white quails
During the course of the day they
saw many brown quails, which they
refused to shoot at, for fear of fright
ening away the white ouaiIs should
The day passed and no sign of the
quails was seen Just when about TO
give up the task, Mr.. Metzger noticed
his dog acting strangely and started
an investigation. After advancing
few yards a covey of perhaps twenty
quails whirled through the air and
started for the timber. Two of them
were white. With one shot the two
were killed and recovered by the dog
Happening to glance at the brush,
Mr.. Metzser saw one white quail sit
ting on the ground hiding. He was
perhaps ten feet from the bird and de-
termined if possible to capture it alive.
Taking a number of loaded shells in
his hand he threw them at the quail,
hoping to wound it slightly and thus
capture il alive. His efforts We're in
vain for the bird arose and he was
forced to kill it with his shotgun.
After an examination by Mr.. Tor
tat, who then came upon the scene,
the birds were pronounced to be in
excellent condition for mounting. Ac-
cordingly they were mounted by Mr..
Tortat and are still in Mr.. Metzger's
possession. One brown quail was
mounted with them TO show the con-
trast-
So far as is known. they are the
only pure white quai1s ever killed.
They have been on exhibition at
worlds fairs and they are believed to
be the only ones in existence.

Hnery II you don't believe it just ask

Please get a half-pound box of

The candy was wrapped up and the
