BERLIN, Nov. 12.--Probably the
only princess in the Empire who is q
school teacher is the 20-year-old Prln-
cess Marie Adelheid zu Lippe, who
has Just passed her examinations for
teaching in the common schools in her
principally.
Princess Marie is the daughter of
Prince Rudolf, and a cousin of the
reigning prince Leopold ". During
the war she will take the place Of some
man teacher who has been drawn into
the army from the town Of Schwalen-
berg. The girls mother is the Prin-
cess of Ardeck from the princely house
of Hesse, whose parents are Prince
Wilhelm of Hessen-Phillippstal-
Barchfeld and the Princess Marie Of

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuiees of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache. stuffy from a cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as daisy al
ways by washing the poisons and tox-
ms from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drirk, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to flush from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the prev
ious days indigestoble waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire ailmentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach is
wonderfully inyigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one d
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
IS said to be but a little while until the
roses begin to appear in the cheeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to make anyone
who is bothered with biliousness, con-
stipation, stomach trouble or rheuma-
tism real enthusiast on the subject
of internal sanitation Try it and you
are assured that you will look better
aud feel better in every way shortly.

EVACUATION CAUSES
LARGE AMOUNT WORK

PETROGRAD, Nov. 12.--The evacu-
alton of the large cities that Russia
has abandoned to the Germans is a
task the immensely of which may be
j. dyed from figures now available con-
concerning the partial evacuation of
Riga. The population of Riga has not
been seriously disturbed, the city hay
ing nearly as many inhabitants as at the
beginning of the war, since many ref
ugees have gathered there from the
Baltic districts occupied by the Ger
1nans, but 400 factories, of which so
belong to German subjects, have been
transplanted to interior provinces.
During the evacuation period from $50
to 200 loaded cars were dispatched
daily land in all $4,000 carloads of ma
chinery, metals and raw materials
were shipped out of Riga. The work
continued for two months.
Factory owners have received COM
pensation from the government treas
ury for the cost of removal and most
CT the skilled workers of the factories
have accompanied the employers to
the new locations.

PUT THE RESPONSIBILITY
WHERE 1T BELONGS

Everyone seems agreed about
what automobile speed regulations
should not be. They should not
comprise the present impossible re-
strictions.
Corporation Counsel Syme today
comes forward with an intelligent
suggestion about what they should
be. They should be left to the Com
missioners.
It is curious that all other mat
ters Of traffic regulations are left to
the Commissioners. That is as it
should be. The Commissioners thus
have been able to adjust their regu-
lstions to the changing traffic con-
ditions., But Congress has fixed an
iron clad speed law which has no
connection with present exigencies
in automobile or street car traffic.
The District might get relief by
an enactment Of Congress raising
the speed limit. That would help
some. But the effectual way to 60
about the problem would be to leave
the matter up to the Commissioners.
No sweeping rule will fully cover all
cases. WHIST is needed is a regula.
tion elastic enough to protect every.
one in congested sections and to per.
NIT the motorists to make use Of the
unencumbered outlying streets where
they can easily make better time.

How many girls will know some

much of their income, for example,
they can sfford to pay for rent, and
what the general proportions of a
household budget should be?
Public schools nowadays cut a

looking to them more and more to
teach the practical lessons of life
Vocational training no longer is re.
