GLASS OF HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
A splendid HABIT
Open Sluices of the System Each
Morning and Wash Away the
Poisonous. Stagnant Matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
lame back, can, instead, both look and
feel as fresh as daisy always by wash
ing the poisons and toxins from the
body with phosphated hot water each
morning.
We should drink, before breakfast. a
glass of real hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it to flush
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
ten yards of bowels the previous DAYS
indigestible waste, sour bile and poison
Gus toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening.
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract before putting more food into the
stomach
The action of limestone phosphate and
hot water on an empty stomach is Won
derfully invigorating. 1t cleans out all
the sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid appe-
tite for breakfast, and it is said to be
but a little while until the roses begin
to appear in the cheeks. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will cost
very little at the drug store, but is suf-
fcient to make any one who is bothered
with biliousness, constipation, stomach
trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast st
on the subject of internal sanitation
Try it and you are assured that YOU will
look better and feel better in every way
shortly.-Adv.

berry and injustice, and at length justice

BRITISH SEARCH TRUNK
OF MEXICAN DIPLOMAT
Berne Paper Charges Documents
Were Opened.

Berlin via Sayyille). Sept. l3.-To have
sealed diplomatic documents opened, his
trunk searched. and to be confined in a
dirty munitions depot in Kirkwall, was
the experience of DR.. Krumm Heller.
Mexican Minister of Legation, at the
hands Of the British authorities, accord
ing to the Berne Tageblatt
DR.. Heller, as special envoy of Cen
eral Carranza. started for Switzerland
four months ago from New York. His
mission was to express the thanks Of the
Mexican government for recognition by
the Swiss government. For the sake of
safety, he had obtained from the United
States government a document confirm
Ing his character as a Mexican diplo-
matist.
In New York harbor, when going on
board, he was stopped by an English
consular agent, who wanted to search
his diplomatic trunks. DR.. Heller re-
fused to permit him, but the English
agent, he asserts. tore the American seal
ON the confirmation letter to pieces.
The diplOmatist then sailed. but the
ship was stopped on the high seas by a
British cruiser and brought to the Ork-
ney Islands, where the British authori-
ties were told by some one that DR..
Heller carried messages from the United
States to Germany. The diplomatist was
then taken to Kirkwall for a hearing.
although he gave his word of honor that
this suspicion was unfUunGed and that
he was strictly neutral.
When he tried TO hinder the British
officials from searching his baggage, he
became the object of i'll treatment. Dur
ing his stay at KirkwalI. in a dirty mu-
nitions depot, mobs gathered outside,
clamoring for the death of the cap
tured spy"
After several weeks of tribuIations in
Scotland Yard Dr. Heller was sent
hack to New York. There ne discovered
that a telegram, which he had sent from
London to the Mexican ministers at
Paris and Washington. had not been for
warded. although payment had been ac-
cepted and had not been returned.
DR.. Heller then started again for
Switzerland. this time via Spain and
France. He arrived at his destination
unharmed. The cause of the singular
treatment accorded him, Berne newspa-
pers say. was apparently his German
name. DR.. Heller. however, was born in
Mexico, and has been for many years IN
the Mexican diplomatic service

pointed out yesterday that they are con-
siderably more drastic than in the shape
In which they were agreed to in the

powerful retaliatory wepon.

vided for the withholding OF clearance
papers to any vessel that refused to ac-
cept an American cargo on any ground
other than a lack of cargo space. AS
written into law. this amendment pro-

vides that IL it is found that any vessel.

Opera House, for which he will receive
$4,000 This is s6,666 a performance, or
more than twice his salary at the Metro
