FORETOLD HIS OWN DOOM.
Lord Kitchener Felt That He Would
Lose His Life at Sea.

Lose MS LtTc AT Scd
Lord Kitchener had sort of fore
boding OF an accident at sea. So much
was this the case that he never cross
I'd from Dover to Calais without wear
ing a life belt waistcoat. one that he
had specially made for him in Egypt
before he made his famous advance to
khartum
Though so often on the sea and an
excellent sailor he detested sea trips
and never felt comfortable on board
any ship. He complained that the sea
affected his sight.
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios in any part
Of the world in which he might be, he
took care never to allow his purchase
to be on the vessel on which he was a
passenger,
IA few months before he lost his life
at sen off the Orkney islands he was
visiting the British front There he
met his friend, the naval Captain
Testu de Balincourt, then on service
at Dunkirk, whom Lord Kitchener ask
ed to be his special aid if he should
need one later during the war.
Lord Kitchener told his friend how
a heavy shell had burst close to him
while on this visit. but added, That
did not disturb me, for | know that !
shall die at sea. New York Sun.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in It,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle
we must keep the liver washed clean
almost every morning, to prevent its
sponge-lke pores from cloggng with in
digestible material, sour bile and poison
Gus toxins, says a noted physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver. If
you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If
you get up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes
rancid it's your liver. Sallow skin, mud
dy complexion, waterv eyes, all denote
liver uncleanliness. Your liver is the
most important, also the most abused
and neglected organ of the body. Few
know its function or how to release the
dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins.
Most folks resort to violent calomel.
which is dangerous salivating chemi-
cal, which can only be used occasionally
because it accumulates in the tissues,
also attacks the bones.
Every man and woman. sick or we'll,
should drink each morning before break
fast, glass Of hot water with tea :
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, to
wash from the liver and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible material, the poi
sons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and refreshing the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach
Limestone phosphate does not restrict
the diet like calomel because it cannot
salivate, for it is harmless and YOU can
eat anything afterwards. 1t is inexpen-
sive and almost tasteless, and any phar-
macist will sell you quarter pound
which is sufficient for demonstration
Of how hot water and limestone phos-
phate cleans, stimulates and freshens the
liver, keeping You feeling fit day in and
day out.-Adv.
