Fish For Perch.
PIG bushels of corn, and three bales of
cotton have rewarded another man
On Long Island 400 bushels OF Irish
potatoes is not an excessively large
crop, and at Greeley. Colo. 400 bushels
is not an uncommon yield. In the Sac
ramento valley, California, Mr.. Cleek
has for the past thirty years made
good living and saved an average of
S400 per year from one acre. On the
island of Jersey rents are as high as
$500 and $500 per acre, and near the
city of Paris they are higher still
Near San Diego. Cal. there is colony
OF ''littlelanders" who believe that one
acre is enough, and many of them are
making good with their small farms.
With good soils. plenty Of manure and
all the water needed the possibilities
OF the soil are enormous. and one crop
follows another In rapid succession
What do you think of $500 and $500

Bill.
That afternoon at l O'Clock Bill
Googe came by for Sam. and the two
put off down the creek to fish for the
perch and cat that were TO be found
In the blue pools OF the little stream.
Bill had intended to take his shotgun
along bur found that be was out OF
powder aud 80 had TO leave off that
part OF the sport.
They hadn't gone far when an old
quail with her brood OF young ones.

grass in front OF them with loud
whir Of wings and sailed off into a
nearby thicket

than that. every single quail eats thou

Some people used to argue that quail
didn't eat anything except grain. But
we know better now. They eat IN

"Of course not" said Sam. we

FIRST HARBINGERS OF PEACE

There were two stories came over the wires yesterday
and for that matter the cables for they from
Europe that are suggestive.
One is an appeal issued by the English bankers asking
all Engshmen to see that the production and consmp
ton Of essentials halted to husband their resources
and incomes and aid in every way in helping England
raise the gigantic sum of $9000000000."
The appeal says that it is only in such manner that
England can hope mobilize this vast credit and without
this the war cannot be carried successful termination
1t calls attention to the fact that this will be needed
to support the great army of and pay for the
vast quantities of munitions and arms being manufac
tured for England in all parts of the world.
The other is statement made by DR.. Karl Heltferlch
director of Geimanys finances, who declared the
beginning of the that Germany would never be called
upon to pay war taxes because her enemies would be
forced to pay ndemntes that would settle all Gemanys
outlay in prosecuting the He now, in address be-
fore the reicsag this week. admits that when the war is
over "n spite of possible ndemntes, the taxes will be
colossal"
This statement is as it were the first harbnger of
peace So long Germany thought hoped her enemies
would be forced pay the cost of the struggle she had
something to encourage her in its vigorous prosecution
With this hope gone and realization that the longer
the war lasted the greater the bill for herself well
her enemies self interest will mpe her to desire peace
The load of debt she will have to carry now is stagger
ing as it is with all the other parties to the war; but with
the prospect of this being doubed with the war tax In
effect on the top of the heroic sacrifices the nation has
made both in men and lives; the masses will make the
demand for peace strong that all the nations will have
to heed it.
Should the war end at once England, France Germany
and Russia would have debt running up into the billions
and Austria would be better to her per capita debt
while Belgium and Serbia would be both bankrupt and
desOate
When "God Save the King" and "Hoch der Kaiser, ;"
sentiment and glory far set aside as to allow the
situation to be considered from its financial viewpoint
peace will be within haing distance and the two state
mens made above indication that this has, or is
about to occur.

SAYS We BECOME
CRANKS ON HOT
WATER DRINKING
Hopes Every Man and Woman
Adopts This SPLENDID
Morning Habit

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, duh and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-loOking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea,
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day Isl
accumulation of indigestibe waste and
body toxins Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means Of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing effect upon the system.

ogy, he quickly and smilingly commend
ed the Tommy for his vigilance.
