Attorney General Says
Montgomery Is Next in
Line for Cleaning Up"

Montgomery, September 13.-(Special.)
Attorney General w. l.. Martin has given
out a statement Indicating that he in
tends to clean up Montgomery at some
future date, if the violators Of the pro-
hibition laws continue unmolested. That
Montgomery is almost wide-open is
matter which has ELECTED discussion over
the whole state and the head of the
states legal department has doubtless
been apprised of conditions that are said
to prevail here.
Undoubtedly the liquor laws are be-
ing openly violated in Montgomery"
Mr. Martin said, land l conferred with
the solicitor about two weeks ago in
regard to the matter. In cooperation
with the solicitor l expect to take up the
violations of the law here as soon as
possible"
1t became known today that Mr.. Martin
has written letters to the sheriffs of all
counties bordering on the Alabama river
between this city and Mobile advising
them of the report that regular traffic
in whisky and beer has been for some
time conducted by means of gasoline
launches which ply between here and
Pensacola, landing short distance from
Montgomery by night to deposit their
cargoes. He advised the sherrrrs in all
counties to be on their guard for these
launches.
Attorney General Martin stated that his
relations with Sheriff Waller of Mont
gomery have been cordial ana tnac ne
has not written a letter to Mr.. Waller
threatening him with impeachment as
had been reported by local paper. One
of the circular letters to the sheriffs,
as outlined above was mailed to Mr..
Waller and that is probably what caused
the wild report to be circulated.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast,

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. Respondent, wor
ried; some days headachy, dull and I'M
strung; some days really incapacitated
by illness?
If we all would practice inside ba tn
Ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands Of
half-sick. anaemic looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy. healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which 1T accumulates under our pres
emit mode of living. For every ounce Of
food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material must
be carried out. else it ferments and
forms ptomaine-like poisons which are
absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it 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 organs of the previous days ac-
emulation Of indigestfble waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or we'll, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the stom-
ach. liver, kidneys and bowels the in
digestible material, waste, sour bilc
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetentng
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into the
stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside bath. A quarter

replied to Mr.. earn, opposing bonds
on the grounds that it was too great
an obligation for the people to assume

roads of the kind we have at present
could be built and kept in repair for
thirty years for less money than
would be spent on 200 miles of sand
