bright, alert-a good, clear skin and
a natural, rosy, healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. Ii
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands of
sickly, anaemic-looking men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy
compilations; instead of the multi
tudes of nerve wrecks" "rundowns,"
brain flags" and pessimists we
should see virile optimistic throng
Of rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with tea

neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetenine and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who have
pallid, sallow complexion and wh1
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but trifie, but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark
able change in both health and appear
ance, awaiting those who practice in

Der that inside cleanliness is more i'm
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to con-
taminate the blood while the pores in
the thirty feet of bowels do.

Uncle Sif11On'S

They called him the new manager,
because there had been three in the
place before him. 1t was the building
Of big embankment to create lake
for water supply for a town. Men
who work with pick and spade and
shovel on such tasks are of the rough
and ready class and seek to make
their own discipline.
When the third manager was liter
ally thrown out of camp by crop and
heels the position was offered to Bob
Kingsford, who had just graduated as
q civil engineer and was looking
around for job. The man who told
him of the place, and who had the in
ker and an old friend of the family.
He came down to the city and looked
Bob over and asked:
Robert, hast thou ever handled

for two seasons" was the reply.
"And the members were high-spir-
ited?"
Il had to scrap with one or two a
day"
And when thee played other teams
did thee play them gently?"
mot by jug-full, Uncle Simon!
We just went in to leave them human
wrecks!"
"And in colleges, so ! have heard
they teach students what is known as
the manly art"
ooh, the boys catch on to all those
things"
Robert continued the Quaker
with a shade of anxiety in his tones,
"a man may learn the manly art, and
yet if he is not possessed of what the
worldly call sand he is a failure"
you mean if he can't stand up and
give and take and do his best to lick
the other fellow"
Something like that is my mean
ing, Robert. Let me ask thee If thou

They proceeded to remove the cover
from the big board box. Into it they
dumped clocks, watches, vases, rings
They laughed and chatted in high
glee, then Slews tackled tag to the
cover of the box. Then they went
away, after putting out all of the lights
and securely locking up the place.
Now it's my turn" soliloquiZed
Bonnie and he was soon inside the
store. He read the address on the box.
81 see," he observed, bound for Can
ada and may be back any moment
with an expressman. Well, I'll let
them go, but I've got to work quickly"
1t was two hours later when Slews
and Wykoff returned and, as Bonnie
had guessed, had an expressman with
them. The great box was loaded on
the wagon. 1t was taken to the rail-
road station. The schemers saw it
placed in the express car and took
the same train.
AS it approached the Canadian Dor
der a customs officer came through
the train.
Your box ahead there?" he in
Quired of Slews.
"Yes," was answered promptly.
ANY mourners?"
"Oh, they will be along later" ex-
planned Wykoff.
"Yes," chuckled Slews, in an aside
in thirty, sixty and ninety days!"
There were some anxious visitors at
the store next day, representatives of
the concerns that had furnished the
stock. Bluntly Bonnie told them that
Slews and Wykoff had transferred the
same to Canada
I've something to tell you" Bonnie
said to Doctor Grimm the next day.
THAT jewelry didn't go in that big
box"
1T didnt?" queried his aged friend.
mo, | took it out It's full of coal,
rocks and old junk-that will be my
revenge when those skeesickses come
to open it in Canada"
But where is the jewelry?" asked
the astounded doctor.
Its hidden in the corner of the
basement down stairs" explained Ben
ME. 1--we got my revenge-now for
my brothers four hundred dollars"
Il don't understand" voiced the
supplemented old man.
well, I'm going to see the two
houses Slews and Wykoff swindled.
I'm going to ask them how much they
will give to get back their jewelry. I
want you to come with me-"
The creditors looked eager, sus-
picious, hopeful all at once as Bonnie
did, in fact, what the query indicated.
They declared that they would glad
ly give thousand dollars to recover
their goods-then Bonnie told his
story.
Il only want four hundred" he said.
TITS on account of my poor brother,
gentlemen" he pleaded. I'm not
holding you up. You shall have the
goods anyway, only that four hundred
dollars is the price of my brothers
happiness"
"And you shall have it willingly,
young mani" assented the principal
creditor. Produce the property and
get your check"
When Bonnie left the town with the
money he felt rewarded for the patient
underpaid weeks he had put in to get
even with his rascally employers.
Meantime, across the border, Slews
and Wykoff had opened their treasure
Chaat IN fiOd ruhhjah
"Wykoff," observed Slews dolorous.
, ly, "Bennie did this!"
I'm afraid he did," assented the
mournful partner.

ninety days can we return to our old

hast ever stood up and knocked and
received knocks?"
Half dozen times"
"And was thee always successful"
II think my record Is clear in that
respect"
Then l think have a place to Of
fer thee. 1t pays fair salary and
will give thee a start in the world"
Uncle Simon stated the nature Of
the job and the amount of salary at
tached. and after Bob Kingsford had
accepted, he said:
THAT thee may not puzzle over my
queries about the manly art l will
say, and say 1t with sorrow, that there
10 fighting as well as managing to be
done. The gang have no godliness in
their hearts. They have no fear Of
man who cannot thump them. l be-
neve the word is thump."
Yes. thump is right" replied Bob
with laugh. Then I'm expected to
lick the crowd and hustle the dirt
along as well? Well, | don't mind, II
they don't come more than two at a
time"
Robert, thee must not conclude
that have forsaken the faith of my
father and mother before me. l am
still humble and contrite man of
peace, but that reservoir must be
pushed along with proper energy, and
II an obstinate and perverse man
stands in the way he must-must-"
u understand. The perverseness
must be knocked out of him. I'll pack
my trunk and go up with you"
The crowd at the reservoir was
ready for the new manager, but opin-
ions differed Some said he would be
q bad man to fool with, and others de-
clared him a buffer. He started off
rather easy, but at the same time he
got more work out of the men than
his predecessors had, although they
didn't mean to give it. The idea was
to make loafing job of it. Previous
managers had boarded at hotel in
the town. Bob Kingsford had taken
up his home in the house of Uncle
Simon. Until he had done so he was
not aware, or had entirely forgotten
that there was a daughter Prudence
in the case.
Thee may call her Prue, the same
as we ro.' said the father after the
Introduction. 1T is better that she
becomes not too worldly. but thee
may tell her of the streets and great
buildings in thy city, and thee may
even touch lightly on fashions and the
theaters. Prue. Robert Kingsford will
never be of our faith. but he is good
young man"

A love letter ought to proceed on
business lines. The fondest lover in
the world cannot tell woman more
about her eyes and hair and teeth than
she knows herself. Writing to his

Your own forever" and be perfectly
safe even if she has her doubts about
him; but this sort of thing to a girl

Result Of Genius and rrainIno.

It is said that. one day. Michael An
gelo, the great Italian artist, went to
call upon a friend, and finding him
away from home, took piece Of
chalk and drew a circle on the door.
When the owner of the house re-
turned and saw what had been done.
he said: Michael Angelo has been
here: no other man IL florence could
have drawn such a perfect circle as
that" Genius and long-life training
were proclaimed by that simple chalk
mark on the door. 1t required but
a moment to draw the circle, yet
there was such character. such per-
lection, such reflected personality in
the sign, that the artists friend
could not for a moment question

NEW THEATRE

"The Destroyers" will be the Of
fering tonight at this popular house.
1t is Vitagraph production in five
parts with Lucille Stewart and Hunt
ley Gordon as the two leading
characters Of the play. The scene is
in snow-bound Canada and one
of the attractions is famous dog,
one of the malamutes dogs who at
one time was in the dog train Of
Robert w Service, the Canadian
poet. Miss Lucille Stewart, leading
woman in "The Destroyers" is a
valiant champion of the blonde. Are
Blondes Tickle? Read what Miss
Stewart says:
Il think" says Miss Stewart,
that all this talk about blondes being
unfaithful and having but little SEN
timent as compared with hrunetteS
is the most silly talk that have ever
heard in my life. | have never known
a single instance in which the blonde
whenever compared to the brunette
was not just as true and just as low
ing as the brunette could possibly
be. Why a woman should feel less
deeply because she has yellow hair
instead of black hair is something
that | cannot understand.
''As a matter of fact all the great
love affairs of history almost without
exception have blondes as the fami-
liar figure and it is certainly true
that constancy is not the least Of all
Romance.
"Who was more constant to any
love than Cleopatra was to Anthony
and it is a proven historical fact that
one of her greatest charms to the
Roman was the fact that she was
blonde in brunette country.
"Helen of Troy, whose constancy
to her lover, Paris, cost her life, her
lovers life and the sovereignty of
Ilium was a blonde; as also was He
|. loise, Rosemonde, Iseult and Pene-
lope wife of Odysseus, and nearly all
4 of the women whose lovers and lives
are written in letters of immortal
