Harold l.. Severy, the silent assas-

before he was caught, is believed to be
insane. The weapon is a Stevens sin
gle shot pocket rifle of 22-caibre with
butt about ten inches long, which,
with the silencer (arrow indicates 81
lencer) attached, made it about is
inches all told. There could be attach
ed skeleton detachable stock. He had
attached the Maxim silencer to the end
of the barrel and then rugged up a wire
attachment at the end Of the latter
which, when pressed, would pull the
trigger. His rigging up OF the weapon
was clever idea. Two straps were at
tached to the rife near the butt. These
were put about the arm and held the
weapon so the end Of the silencer came
within about an inch Of protruding
from Severy's coat sleeve. He could

what we would call first class licenses,
but allows what is practically the
same as our second class licenses, but
the Jaw allows all clubs holding a
charter dated previous to the enact
ment of the law, to procure so-cal:ed
club licenses. The result is that Jack

these clubs being simply the old sa-

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimcntary canal q
certain amount Of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely elimiEat-
ed from the system each day, be
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomaine-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can Z get fee
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot Wa
ter with teaspoonful Of limestone

feet of bowels the previous day 5 a".

TO keep the entire alimentary cana!

Those who are subject to sick heal
ache, colds, bihOusness, constipation
others who wake up with bad taste
fotll breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach at
ter meals, are urged to get quarte'
pound of limestone phosphate from us
drug store, and begin practicing IN
ternal sanitation. This viii cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more i'm
portant than outside bathing, becaus,
the skin pores do not absorb impuritie
into the blood, causing poor health
while the bowel pores do. Just a
soap and hot water cleanses, sweeten
and freshens the skin, so hot water an,
limestone phosphate act on the stom
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels.

work Of total reconstruction for war pur-
poses that any people ever accomplished
in two years or even dreamed Of doing in
that time. The Germans do not praise us
willingly. but they admit that we have
done what they thought utterly impos-
sible. That admission is enough. The
Germans add that 1t is all because we hold
the sea. But to hold the sea We have had
to keep at work a million men. including
our best artisans, solely employed in
maintaining and increasing the fleet. Con-
sequently, we have had to create with one
hand. as it were, an army on the CONT

of new munition factories. which are In
