Out Of Old Albania.

Save in Epirus, where Greek culture
holds the towns, and even the Moslem
Albanians of the hills write (when
they can write at alb in Greek letters,
no foreign influence has yet invaded
the intimate life of this exclusive race.
Individual Albanians have, indeed,
given their talents to bring unity or
order to the life of other peoples. Half
the captains by land and sea Of the
Greek wars of independence were Al
banians from Epirus or the isles.
Crispi came from the Albanian col
ony in Sicily; the khedivial family
imposed itself on Egypt; the last
grand vizier of the old regime in Tur-
key was a South Albanian magnate.
But no native church, no native litera-
ture, no local field for craftsmanship
has yet exercised the talsnts of q
race which is certainly notithe least
gifted of the Balkan peoples. Until
recently an Albanian educatsd was an
Albanian lost. y

NORTH OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Investigation Has Shown That Agr'-
culture May Very Well Be Car
ried On In the Region.

That crop production may be prac-
ticed north of the Arctic circle Is one
of the interesting facts brought out
by a report on reconnaissance soil
survey in Alaska. This embodies the
results of a study Of the soils OF a
vast area in Alaska by experts OF the
bureau of soils, made for the purpose
of determining the possibilities OF
agricultural development.
II was found that gardening Is car
ried on and grass thrives in Alaska,
I'D to and north OF he Arctic circle.
In addition it il shown that the cli-
mate and soils of Finland are very
similar to those of Alaska, the lati'
tude of the two regions being practi-
cally identical. In Finland number
of crops are grown at a considerable
distance north of the Arctic circle

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness

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 alimentary canal
certain amount Of indigestible mate
rial, which IL not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
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't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful OF limestone
phosphate in it to wash out OF the

and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
