Keeping Silage From Freezing
We have very little ensilage freeze
even in the coolest weather, and don't
see why others should. Our silo is
14x20 feet, with 9-foot cement base

and covered with prepared roofing
paper. The feeding chute is made of
inch boards. All cracks are batten-

roofing cut in strips and nailed fast.
AT the bottom of the stave part and
on top of base in the feeding chute,
we have a door we let down like a
trap door, which keeps out the cold

feed, and never allow the center to

AMERICANS GIVEN WARNING

Washington, Feb. 12.-Germany and

In view of this situation, American
citizens, it is stated by high author
lty now may be warned that they will
take passage aboard armed merchant
ships at their own risk, and be entitled
to no more protection from the United

issue could arise in the future from
a submarine warfare conducted under
these rules.

SCORES PRESIDENTS "vAcILLAT-
ING VIEWS" ON PREPAREDNESS
Iowa Senator Makes First and Only
Western Address of Republican
Pre-convention Campaign.

st. Paul, Feb. Ex-senator A. B.
Cummins of Iowa ridiculed President
Woodrow Wilson for what he called
his "vacillating views" on preparedness
and for his policies toward the Mex
lean and European situations in a
speech before the Lincoln Republican
club in the Saint Paul hotel. Although
the adoption of any new policy of pre-
~paredness" until the present war is
over and it's lessons understood, the
liveliest demonstration Of the evening
came when he said:
"This country should SO prepare
that it will be humanity impossible
for a hostile foot to plant itself on
the soil of America"
Scores Wilson's Weakness.
There were marked evidences of APP
prevail when he declared:
"No real red. blooded American
ever will turn to the page which
records the conduct OF this admin
istration toward Mexico without
biushing. | do not charge the pres
ldent with wrongdoing, but weak
ness and vacillation are sometimes
worse than w~rongdoing."
He prophesied that as a result of
the presidents weakness" the United
States must Intervene to furnish a
nucleus around which the remnant ,of
decency and liberty can gather. One
sentence on vacillation was:
son his preparedness trip, the
president began at Pittsburgh with
a moderate appeal to the people to
speed up a little, so that in five
yeaors we might have a navy like
Germany's or Japan's. BY the time
he got to st. Louis he abandoned
every American conception, and
boldly declared the United States
should have a navy incomparabIy
better than any nation on earth"
Five hundred were present, some of
them men from yer the state who
have filed as Cummins delegates.
1t was the first and only western ad.
dress of the republican pre-convention
campaign.
Walter T. Lemon, president of the
Lincoln Republican club, introduced
as POSTMASTER Carl w. Cummins, who
in turn presented Senator Cummins as

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps Us fit.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind a certain amount OF incom.
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves In the alimentary canal q
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which IL not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel.
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in 1t to wash u of the
thirty feet Of bowels the previous days
and to keep the entire ~alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, b~iliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound OF limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This viii cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing Is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood. causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.

DISAGREE ON FUNDAMENTALS

Reason for Action.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Secretary Of
War Lindley M. Garrison has resigned
because President Wilson will not cir

army plan, and because he opposes
the Administrations program of set.
ting a definite time for Philippine indie
pendence.
Resignation Is Accepted.
President Wilson accepted the res
ignation and has not yet selected a
successor.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
his chief, whose views he shared. The
President accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately,
Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief
of staff Of the army, automatically be-
nm secretary of war ad interim.
For Federal Continental-Army.
1t is known that one of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for his
conviction that only a. federal con-
tinental army instead of a r~eorganized
national guard could be the main mill
tary dependence of the nation was his
belief that some day the United States
may be called upon to defend the Mon
roe doctrine, and in that event he
foresaw that the national guard might
not be available for use outside of the
United States before a declaration Of
Mr.. G%arrison's contentious that only
the plans Of the war department could
be considered seemed to the President
wholly unjustifiable."
