robbed pay car of the Burroughs Add

charged, aided him in the robbery. De-
tectives are searching for the men. Wal

the boy scouts OF America is not that
which was made the basis of the reso-
lutions adopted by the Massachusetts,
branch of the American Federation OF
Labor, it was stated here yesterday by
James f. West, chief scout executive
OF the national council OF the scout or
ganization.
Mr.. West said that message received
here yesterday from Charles c. jackson
asserted that the latter's remarks had
been distorted, as he had not alluded to
labor unions but had appealed ''for a
larger and more intelligent participation
in civic affairs" The Massachusetts,
resolution evidently was based upon an
incomplete and misleading account of
what Mr.. Jackson actually said" Mr.
West added.
The boy scouts of America has had
the official support of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor for years, and we be-
lieve that the record of what we are ac-
tually accomplishing for the sons of la
boring men and our country as well as
the policy of the national council to
avoid participation in political affairs
will warrant the continuance of this sup
port as well as of all labor men indi-

Glass of hot water each morn

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous and vi
yaclous--a good clear skim natural
rosy complexion and freedom from i'll

blood, If only every woman and like
wise every man could realize the wonders
OF the morning inside bath, what a graft,

Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anamic- looking men, women and girls,
with pasty or muddy compilations; in
stead of the multitudes of nerve
wrecks" ''rundowns," brain Tags" and
pessmists, we should see virile, opti-
mistic throng OF rosy-cheeked people ev-
erywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking, each
morning before breakfast, glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it, to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of
bowels the previous days ipdigestibe
waste, sour lamentations and poisons,
thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bilious
ness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds;
and particularly those who have a pal
lid, sallow complexion and who are con-
stipated very often, are urged to obtain
a quarter pound of limestone phosphate
at the drug store. which will cost but
trife but is sufficient to demonstrate the
quick and remarkable change in both
health and appearance awaiting those
who practice internal sanitation. We
must remember that inside cleanliness
is more important than outside, because
the skin does not absorb impurities to
the blood, while the pores
in the thirty feet of bowels do.--Adv.
