Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluIees 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. stuify from a cold,
foul tongue. nasty breath, acid
stomach. lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink. before breakfast
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate In

kidneys aud ten yards of bowels the
previous days .indigestihle waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans.
ing. sweetening and purifying the en-.
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
Is wonderfully invigorating. II cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
Il is said to be but little while until
the roses begin 10 appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound OF limestone
phosphate will coz very little at the
drug store, bat IS sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try

look better and feel better in every
way shortly.

NEW YORK, May lO.-Thc reduction
Of the daily ration in the part of France
now held by the Germans, necessitated
by the lack OF. supplies. threatens tre-
memdous increase in the death rate
among non -combatants. according to re-
ports from Herbert Hoover, chairman
of the Commission for Relief in Bel
eium, received at the commissions
offices. at No. 100 Broadway
ln the towns of Lille. Naleucienncs
and Roubaix, and the territory sur
rounding them, district comprising
,235 square miles. with present popu-
lation of 100000 civilians, mo- fresh
meat had been sold through shops or
markets for ten days, with three eXcep-
tions, at the time Mr.. Hoover made an
examination of conditions there. Re
,ccntly the shops openly sold dog meat.
Beef. n small quantity of which reached
RoubaiN from Holland. sold at price,
for bones and ALL equivalent to Sl.30
n pound. 4 little meat has been oh
tainable for the soup kitchens. but in
one commune for twelve DAYS ont of
sixteen there was no meat or grease
base whatever for the soup. a single
chicken was sold TO Mr.. Hoover's party
In Lille for $500.
Potatoes throughout the region are
absolutely exhausted. In the Nalen.
ciennes market 220 pounds were offered
for sale at 50 francs, which equals Sl70
a ton, as against $40 a ton in normal
times. An effort has been made to get
potatoes from Holland but with no sue
cess
Milk and butter supplies have not
been available for the population in
this district for a long time A pack
age Of Dutch margarine was recently
sold in Lille at the rate OF Is francs
a pound. The only vegetables shown
In the markets are a little celery and
a good quantity OF dandelion leaves.
In the provision shops the shelves
are absolutely bare except for a few
surviving luXuries which have no inn
pOrtance as food The total number
Of food animals seen by Mr.. Hoover
during his investigation were four
cattle and fourteen chickens.
The mortality statistics of the
city Of Lille for the last four months
show an increase OF from twenty in
December 10 forty-two during the
first twenty-five days OF March.
To save the people OF Northern
France from starvation substantial
help must be given within the next
few months. There is no consequent
tial leakage in the supplies sent, as
they go under seal 20 the communal
storehouses, and the mayors them
selves report their arrival TO the
American district managers OF the
commission. who in turn notify the
central organization. Every household
has a "carte de menage'f ISSUED by
the committee. which entities the
holder to the purchase or gift Of the
ration. the amount OF which is pub
icly posted.
In closing his report Mr.. Hoover
says: "The C. r. b. which for
more than a year has been ceaseless-

of misery. is now forced to appear
as an instrument OF torture since

WASHINGTON GAS Co.
STOCK RECOMMENDED.
Richard E. Claushton Says Issues Are
Most Promising.

Washington Gas Company stock Is the
most promising issue on the Washington
Stock Exchange at present, In the opinion
Of Richard z. claughton. dealer IN stocks.
bonds and Investments. with offices In
tthe Commercial National Bank Building.
Despite the element Of uncertainty
that applies TO an public utility stocks
because OF the physical valuations Of
property being made by the Public Utili-
ties Commission with a view to revising
rates." said Mr.. Claughton last night.
Il believe that Washington Gas may be
considered the most promising Issue on
the market : By the most promising
stock. mean the stock that Is paying
the highest. the steadiest and the surest
,return on the investment.
Although the earnings Of the company
have been reduced by the cut In rates or
dered by Congress. the dividends Of the
company will not be affected. The busi-
ness OF the company steadily Is increas-
ing and this increase will offset the de-
crease brought about b. Congress
Consumption Increasing.
More meters are being installed. more
pipe lines are being laid, and more gas
d being used for cooking purposes. The
erection Of so many apartment houses
has been a big factor in increasing the
patronage OF the gas company. for vir<
tually all the cooking In apartments Is
done on gas ranges.
Gas now is paying s per cent at 30
and the stock Is selling for about 10
thus making the rate of return approx
mately ass per cent In other words,
II a person bought ten shares of Wash
ington Gas at 70, his investment OF 500
would earn him S4S a year.
The reason there Is not more trading
in Gas Is that the public Is afraid the
Public Utilities Commission will order
further reductions In price, thus Gripping
he earning power of the corporation. 1t
Is this element of uncertainty that keeps
ymany from taking advantage Of the rare
opportunity for investment. But It should
be borne In mind that a Ions legal battle
will occur before the physical valuation
Of the property of the corporation Is def
nitely and finally decided.
Output Growing Larger.
Last year the Gas Company sold Ap-
proximately 5000. 900 900 cubic feet Of gas
and this years output will be even larger.
The Increased price of coal and oil has
Gnot effected the company. for 1t now Is
using fuel contracted for a year ago at
the prices then prevailing
so I think that Gas is In a class by
itself on the market Mergenthaler Is by
no means unattractive. but 1t must be re-
membered that since the beginning Of the
war this corporation has decreased its
dividends from Is 20 10 per cent a year.
