GUNS MUST BE RE-
MOVED ON ITALIAN
STEAMER VERDI
Subject of Conversation Between Austri-
an Charge and Secretary
Lansing.

Washington, Jan l0.--Baron Zwiedin-
elk, charge of the Austro- Hungarian EN-.
bassy, informally called to the attention
OF Secretary Lansing the presence Of
| two mounted three-inch guns on the
Italian steamer Giuseppe Verdi when
she arrived in New York Thursday.
While official information upon the sub
jeet was lacking, it was understood that
the charge had made inquiries as to
what action the United States as neu-
trail considered taking in the matter.
SECRETARY Lansing was said to have
assured Baron Zwiednek that the yes
sci would not be allowed to leave Amer
lean waters before the questions in
VOWED had been disposed Of. Officials
in position to be familiar with the at
titude OF the United States expressed
the belief that the ship would not de-
part until the guns had been removed.
Whether the charge expressed the be-
lief to Secretary Lansing that the ship,
through being armed had become war
ship and consequently was subjected to
internment, could not definitely be as
certained. II was believed certain, how
ever, that the ships status would be
taken up informally with the Italian
government.
Officials consider that in seeing to
it that the ship does not sail from an
American port with guns mounted the
United States viii prevent possible
charges OF unneutral conduct, should
she by any chance use her armament
for other than defense purposes at some
later time.

Clifford's Drug Store Was
Looted Late Satur-
day Night
LOSS ESTIMATED BE-
TWEEN 5000 AND $500
-Four Men Seen in Rear of
the Property Believed to
Have Been Burglars

Bethel, Jan. Ralph Marsh, or
opening up c. G. Clifords drug store
Sunday morning, found things in good
deal of disorder and soon learned that
the place had been broken into by
means of rear window. He called
Deputy Sheriff +. G. Putnam and to-
gether they found suspicious tracks at
the foot of the outside stairway leading
to the rear of the drug store and traced
them to an empty freight car on the
Granite railway siding, one-fourth mile
or so. In the car they found cigarettes
and fountain pen, and on their way
they had found IA fountain pens and
two bottles of liquor.
Mr.. Clifford misses from his stock As
fountain pens, four meerschaum pipes,
80 briar pipes, lot OF cigars and cigar
cites, large amount OF candy in pack
ages and several bottles OF brandy and
other liquors, he being a licensee of the
fifth-class. He places his loss between
5000 and $500.
On Saturday night between II and IL
O'Clock Paolo Marsigli, a fruit store
clerk, was returning home and in the
dim light saw man in the drug store
whom he took TO be Mr.. Clifford and
thought no more OF the incident till he
heard of the burglary. About 1870
night clerk at the inn saw
in the imperfect light four men standing
back Of the hotel building, in which the
drug store is located, and shouted to
them to leave the premises He heard
one of them saw: "Let's get away from
here or We'll be caught" and he thought
no more about them. The men are be |

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 incapaeitated by ill
ness.
If we all would practice the drinking
OF phosphated hot water before break.
fast, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands Of
half sick, anemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations, we should see
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked
people everywhere. The reason is that
the human system does not rid itself
each day of all the waste which IL accu-
mulates under our persent mode of liv-
ing. For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the system nearly an ounce of
waste material must be carried out, else
il ferments and forms ptomaine-like poi
sons in the bowels, which are absorbed
into the blood.
just as necessary as il 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 or
gans of the previous days accumulation
OF indigestible waste and body toxins.
Men and women, whether sick or well,
are advised to drink each morning, be-
fore breakfast, glass of real hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it, as a harmless means of
washing out of the stomach, liver, kid
aeys and bowels the indigestible mate
-ial, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
'leansing, sweetening and purifying the
entire ailmentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
It constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
lights have become real cranks about
he morning inside bath. A quarter
'ound OF limestone phosphate will not
ost much at the drug store, but is suffi
lent to demonstrate to anyone its
sweetening and freshening eff
ect upon the system.
