WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says lnside-batklng makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
tie skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly An
ounce of waste material must be car
RED out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or soaked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day,
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
I1'SoS pOloOI0, SeoCS anu lOAlHo LIOm
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els; thus cleansing, sweetening and
freshening the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into tue
stomach
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with dull aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
berath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pronounc-
ed improvement in both health aud
appearance shortly. advt

he was President? The Mexican muddle
began and was almost at it's height
during his administration, but instead
Of accepting the responsibility he
cravenly shunted it off onto the next
administration. The thought of what
sort of a mess we should have on our
hands had the vacillating Mr.. Taft been
reelected to office makes us shudder.

nerve to criticise the manner in which
his successor is cleaning up the dirty

The Plain Dealer Seconds the Motion.

1t is with regret we learn that lin
Donovan of New Hampton has abso'
solutely refused to become candidate
for district committeeman another
term. Not only are we sorry to learn
this, but Democrats throughout the
district will deeply regret it. For u
years Mr.. Donovon has ably filled this
position and to the entire satisfaction
Of ALL 1t had been hoped he would
consent to take the place again, for a
while, at least, but his positive refusal
settles the matter. Able, conscient-
ious, faithful, with a special adaptable
ity for the position, he has won the
everlasting esteem of his co-workers.
OF course, we must have man in his
place, an able man who will carry on
on the work in the satisfactory manner
it has been carried on in the past. We
Do not know of anyone better fitted for
this important position than Gene
Feuling, editor of the New Hamton
Tribune. We believe he would be
satisfactory in every way to the Dem
ocrats of the district. He is compe-
tent and well qualified for the place
and there is not the shadow of a doubt
but that the Democrats of the district
would rally to his support as the right
man for the position. : North Iowa
Times.
The Plain Dealer emphatically en-
dorses the suggestion of Mr.. Feuling
as successor to Mr.. Donovan. He is
universally conceded to be the leading
result getter in business way in the
printing fraternity in this district, and
with his previous political experience
as successful county chairman in
Chickasaw county, county Astounding
in successful political managers, he
would bring to the position of district
committeeman an energy and expert
ence that would be of great value to
the fighting force of the democracy of
the 4th District.

The purpose of said convention is the
filling of any vacancy in the office of
delegate at large of alternate delegate
at large to the National Convention of
the Democratic party to be held at St.
Louis on the 14th day of June, 1916,
also to instruct the delegates at large
and the District delegates to said con-
vention if such is the mandate of the
Democratic voters as expressed at the
Primary election, and for the transac-
ton of such business as the convention
may deem necessary and proper.
The ratio of representation will be
one delegate from each county and one
additional delegate for each 200 voters
OF major fraction thereof cast for Hon.
John T Hamilton for Governor at the
general election in 1914.

Hauxen's Pork.

We note by the dispatches of Marcel
4th that Gilbert Haugen, congressman
from this, our Fourth District, has
reintroduced bills in Congress for the
purchase of post Office site at Usage
and post Office building at Oelwein.
The bill for Oelwein provides for q
$500, 900 building, TO be erected on the
ground purchased last year in that city.
Now, we don't want it to appear that
we would not like to see Oelwein get a
500, 600 post Office, but it does seem to
us that it would be a mighty sight more
sensible and businessike to take the
$500, 900 to be spent at Oelwein and the
other 500, 900 that was spent at DEBORAH,
and erect common-sense post Office build
ings at Waukon, Elkader, New Hamp-
ton, Fayette and other towns through
out the district whose people would
appreciate better post Office facilities
just as much as anybody. And the
$500, 600 spent in these two towns alone
would build for these other towns men
toned magnificent post office structures,
with all modern conveniences, and have
enough left to give Oelwein and DEBORAH
ample buildings for their needs for the
next seven generations.--W Union
Union. -.
THE idea that more modern post
Offices well distributed is preferable to
two or three over-large government
buildings in this Congressional District
is one which we heartily approve, but
don't lose sight of the fact that Cresco
has larger post Office receipts and
consequently a greater claim to a
federal building than any Of the list of
other good Fourth District towns
mentioned.

Through With Sprrxeo..

Having been asked so many times by
the readers Of The Review and others
if the little anti-Catholic pamphlet
known as The National Voice was be-
ing issued from this Office, we deem it
proper to at once set all such inquiry
at rest by stating it is not, never has
been and never will be. When Otis l..
Spurgeon, the ''great author, lecturer,
and divine" came into possession of
the Review plant some seven months
since, it was his purpose to publish The
Voice on the Review press, but not
having the business capacity capital
or disposition to conduct any business
on real business lines, he discovered
before he had been in Rudd a month
that his scheme would not work, and in
the meantime, having found some
friends down near Sheffield, who had
more money than business perspicacity
to put up the capital for him, he pur-
chased printing plant at Monroe,
Wis, moved the same to Des Moines,
or at least said he did, 1--WE have only
Surgeons word for it), and intends to
issue The Voice and another family,
neighborhood and general trouble
brewing publication from that city.
Again we say ''No!' Sturgeon never,
never again will do business of any
kind in Rudd. Whatever his inflence
over the people of this section may have
been in the past two years, we are fin
ally shut of him and his pernicious
preachments, Surgeons dreams of al
million or two circulation for his dirty
little pamphlet are over so far as Rudd
is concerned; our people have finally got
f'wise" to his methods! -Rudd Review.

Sioux City Tribune: Much, if not
all, of this Mexican trouble would have
been averted if Taft had acted ener.
getically when anarchy first reared Its
head in Mexico, and Americans first
began to be killed by bands of Mexican
bandits. Instead of that, he and his
administration played politics and tried
to put the incoming democratic admin

question for it to settle.

The Railway Age Gazette makes an
instructive comparison Of current rail-
road earning and expenses with those
of like period in 1912, when the roads
last handled big business. 1t finds
that the gross earnings over that time
have increased only II per cent, but
that net earnings have increased IL per
cent, Expenses relative to business
volume have been notably reduced, and
it is found that the reduction has been
chiefly effected in costs of transporta-
ton rather than in the upkeep of road
and equipment
1t was early in the period covered by
this comparison that the roads were
before the interstate commerce COM
mission with an insistent demand for
higher rates as their only means of sal
walton from bankruptcy. 1t was then
that Louis D. Brandets, as counsel to
the commission, drew down upon him.
self the hilarious ridicule of railroad
managers and all Wall street by as
serting that the road did not need high
er rates to improve net revenues so
much as they needed greater economy
and efficiency in operation.
The results speak for themselves.
A IL per cent improvement in net
earnings, largely from reduced costs of
doing an an equal volume of business,
reflects the cutting away of a lot of
grating, lot of official extravaganza,
a lot of dishonesty in purchasing agen-
cies and the like. 1t will deeply i'm
press stockholders that their managers
are far better employed in such activi-
ties than in hanging around Washing
ton begging permission to impose new
burdens on industry and the people in
the cost of transportation. New York
