WHEN THE PLAIN TRUTH
BREAKS UP FRIENDSHIPS
BY FLORENCE E. iOOER

There are times when the plain
stating of certain fact is as disagree
able as it is unnecessary. Nay, more,
it is positively unkind And more
friends are lost in this world through
too much plain-speaking and an over
dose of the truth than through any
lack of the latter.
Not that for a moment | would
advocate direct untruthfulness. Upon
the contrary, no friendship OF
any sort can flourish on a
tissue of faIsehood- 1t is in the very
nature of things that truth and friend
ship should go hand in hand. Yet at
the same time. there should be a clear
realization that there are periods in
the best of friendships when a strict
adherence to the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the tr'th will breed
any Improvement or better understand
ing, but will only cause a great deal
of trouble and heart-burning.
This excessive passion for plain
speaking always brings unpopularity
to the person who practices it. Have
you ever met the woman who is entire
ly incapable of telling even the miidest
little sort of fib ? She is disconcert-
ing being, and one little calculated to
adorn any gathering. Severely and
strictly truthful it is unfortunate not
merely for herself, but also for others,
that her line of thought is not OF par
ticularly pleasant order. She certain
ly does manage to get herself disliked
with thoroughness which. in her
weaker moments, she must find
shade depressing.
If YOU want admiration for new
hat. she will complacently observe
that, though rather pretty, it is style
very easy to copy. and that she fears
the shape will soon become very com
mon.
If, on chance meeting. you happen
to state that you are very glad to see

Ordinary motion pictures, 1t will no

the same rate. With the ultra rapid

is attached TO the camera and the pic

are projected at the ordinary rate

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. Respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dun 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, notwithstanding souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy. rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system docs 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 IL 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 days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast. a 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
lndigestible 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.

.UNDERSEA THRILLS
 ARE PRESERVED ON
 THE MOVIE SCREEN
Actual Battle Between
 Shark and Man Recorded in Marvellous Films.


 A scheme to take motion pictures at the bottom of the sea would have been sufficient warrant few years ago, to insure the schemer a nice quiet cot in 8 psychopathic ward. To-day, such thing is not a scheme in the mind of an idle dreamer but is a real ity, d veritable triumph for science.
 This was demonstrated this nor11- ing at Polfs theatre when the subma- rine pictures taken by the Williamson Expedition in the South Sea were shown at private exhibition for newspaper critics Accompanied by an interesting lecture by Prof. J. L. Fierce, the motion pictures, depicting life and times on the floor of the ocean were almost overwhelming in their revelations,
 The pictures were taken many feet under water by an operator who was encased in a sort of overgrown diving bell. A pipe-like airshaft communi- eating to a float on the surface was his means of entrance and exit and through this tube air was forced into the picture chamber
 The films are thousands of feet in length. The lecturer explained that petition because of the clarity of the water.
 All manner of submarine animal and vegetable life is shown in a pano- ranic view of the bottom of the ocean. The strange fish. the beautiful coral growths and other interesting revela- tions uncovered are most interestingly explained in the progress of the 1ec- ture.
 A real thrill was interjected when the screen flashed forth a battle be- tween a man-eating shark and a mem Der of the expedition party. The pie ture will be shown at Po1i's the first three days of next week
