WHEN YOU WAKE

Wash the polsons and toxins from

food into stomach.
Says inside-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
Willie the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
il quickly ferments and generates
poisons gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to

tend 10 foster a military spirit Par
ticularly does she criticise the Boy

four young school boys on an outing

them. Thousands of acres of timber
and the homes of a number of settlers
were threatened if the fire spread.
These boys threw themselves into the
breach. For four hours they fought
the flames like grown men and fl
nally subdued them.
They were Boy Scouts, trained to
act in just such an emergency, and
meeting it. acted. Were not these
things worth while?"
And these are by no means isolated
cases but similar things occur each
day.
The Boy Scout movement is teaching
boys the world over to be true men.
1t is preparing them TO figh, the bat
ties of peace, not war. 1t is instilling
in them manliness, sacrifice, self
reliance and self-control
Besides. it is making them physic-

boys are brought face TO face with

Of the wild animals and their naunts.

MORE LOYAL CITIZENS.

All over the country there has been
a remarkable rush for naturalization
papers lately. 1t began with the sink
ing of the Lusitania. The heaviest
demand was naturally in the most
populous center-New York city. The
county clerk reported that 20 per
cent of those applying for their first
papers were Germans and most of
the others were Austrians. i've seen
nothing but Teutonic faces in my office
for two weeks" he remarked. And
county clerks in many other cOmmu-
mites have told the same story.
1t is another evidence of the fact
that the people of Teutonic origin in
this country, even those who have ar
rived most recently and so have been
least influenced by American institu-
tions. are Americans in spirit, and
prefer American citizenship TO any
thing that the old world has TO offer
them. They have come here 10 stay,
and at the first threat of trouble be-
tween the Ole country and the new,
the late corners hasten to cast their
lot with US, just as their fellow leu
tons of longer residence hasten to give
assurance Of their sincere loyalty.

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrnal
deafness and head noises viii be glad
10 know that this distressing afiilcuon
can usually be successfully treated al
home by an internal medicine that IN
many instances has affected complete
relief after other treatments have
failed. Sufferers who could scarcely
hear a watch tick tell how they have
had their hearing restored TO such an
extent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audible seven or eight lncnes
away from the ear.
Therefore. If you know of someone
who is troubled with head noises or
catarrhal deafness. cut out this for

It's little more comprehensive to

The ineligible fact. however, about
these figures. is that they represent an
enormous increase in the wealth OF
the American people The proportion
means something. If the totals do not.
The national wealth has more than
doubled in twelve years. 1t increased
more from 1900 to 1912 than it had
done in the previous twenty years.

TRUTH ABOUT THE ARMS TARIFF.


If the German government and the
German newspapers would tell the
German people the truth about the
sale OF war supplies. there wouldn't
be such resentment against Americans
as there is today.
The truth isn't merely that interna-
tional law and practice have always
sanctioned the sale OF arms and am
munition by neutrals 10 belligerents
Tt isn't merely that it is necessary for
non-miiitary nations like ours 10 pre-
serve this right for the sake OF their
own safety, so that they may be able
20 obtain arms for themselves in case
they should be attacked Unexpectedly
by a well prepared nation. 1t isn't
merely that the German government
has always recognized this principle
and does not now venture 10 call the
American practice illegal. The truth
is that Germany has uniformly prac-
ticed the very thing that the Germans
now condemn.
1t was the Germans-that is 10 say,
the Krupps. the great manufacturers

Germans who sold Spain good share

Germans who provided guns, rifles
