The submarine abandoned the

SAYS WE BECOME
 CRANkS ON HOT
 WATER DRINKING
HOPES EVERY MAN AND WOMAN ADOPTS THIS SPLENDID
 MORNING HABIT

Why is man and woman, half the time. feeling nervous, Respondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapaci- 'ated by illness.
 If We all would practice ;nside-bath- ins, what a gatifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should sec crowds of happy, healthy, rosy checked people everywhere. The req son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres cit mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys- tenn nearly an ounce of waste materi- al must be carried out, else it fer ments and forms ptomaine-like poi sons which are absorbed into the blCOd.
 Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, wheth- CT sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. as harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks. acid stomach. nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to any one. it's cleansing. sweetening and freshening effect upon the> system.

DARK E0RSE' MAY

REPUBLICAN LEADERS LOOK FOR PRACTICAL BUSINESS MAN
 TO HEAD TICKET.
COLEMAN DU POINT NAMED
 AS LIKELY CANDIDATE
Delaware Man Has Splendid Reputa. ton as a Self-Made Leader in
 Constructive Business.

With the Republican convention on. ly a scant twelve weeks away, the most popular topic of conversation in political circles these days concerns the G. O. P.'s choice of a candidate to run against Wilson.
 The Republicans will probably go back to old principles and look for 9 candidate who will command the sup port of the same army of voters who elected Mckinley, when a wave of patriotic common sense swept the country, and business men by the hundreds of thousands marched the streets demanding a practical govern nent. It is interesting to note that the name of General Coleman du Pont, of Delaware, has been repeatedly men, toned recently as the man eminently qualified for the nomination. To those who look npon the government as a big business concern demanding the supervision of trained business man, the name of General du Pont car ries a strong appeal, for there is no man more qualified to handle the big problems of today than this same self made leader in constructive business. Moreover, both the public and private record of General du Pont will stand up well under the searchlight of pc litical opposition.

 Coleman du Pont was born in Ken. lucky and started his working life in the mines of the Blue Grass State. He stands today as one of the few sue cessful men who have acquired their positions by methods that will stand scrutiny. He has been a producer not a stock jobber. He has never an. tagonized any class of people. Capital and Labor alike admire him.
 Without self-advertisement he does more charity than do most men. He is an ardent advocate of good roads and believes that a really perfect system of highways will enhance the farmers S income and reduce the cost of living to the cities. He has built roads and given them to his state, always with a sound business scheme to perpetuate them and save them from being a burden to the taxpayers.
 He comes from family more Amer ican than most-a family identified with the building of the nation since the Revolution. His grandfather was Thomas Jeffersons most valued per sonal friend and advisor in the time of great need during the dark days of the Republic.
 The great Powder Company with which he was formerly identified has supplied our government with all it's powder at price always named by our government officials themselves and never by the company.
 Because of his great executive abil ity and high standing in the business world, some of the shrewdest po- litical minds in the country consider him as being enc of the most likely dark horses" for the Republican nomination. They point to the fact that his success in life would elimin. ate any need for a friendly Colonel House, or any other financial influence standing ever behind the presidential chair. Nor would he he compelled to take orders from any man or group of men.
 Another factor that the supporters of General du Pont are pointing to is his knowledge of military affairs For sixteen years he has been identified with the soldiery of his state and is thoroughly alive to the necessity for preparedness. He has also had practical training in politics, nav ing been a delegate to a number of State and National conventions. and serving as a member of the Republican National committee for many years.
 It is the splendid business training of General du Pont that is pointing the way for him to the nom nation. For it is conceded on all sides that the biggest problems of this country at the close of the European war will be business problems. and there are few men among those men tioned, who have had his experience in coping with such huge problems. As a manager of constructive busi- ness and as a reprganizer, Coleman du Pont stands in a class by himself.
