Senator Smith Confident of Dem.
ocratiC Victory.
Arizona Statesman Points to the Elk.
~ceptionaIIy Good Business Condi-
tions as Evidence of the Sue
cess of the Administration.

Senator Marcus A. Smith of Ari-
iona, arrived recently at Washington
for the session. He went to Kentucky,
his native state, to attend his broth
err, who has been seriously ill, and
then took a trip to the Pacific coast,
going as far as Vancouver, British Co.
lumbia.
The most striking condition that
came under my observation during my
visit West was the great improve
ment everywhere in the business sit
uation," said Senator Smith. "Busi-
ness is booming ON the coast and in
Arizona, from where | have had re-
ports every day. Everybody is as
busy as can be. The copper mines
are working overtime, and instead Of
a low price for copper, as was feared
at the beginning of the European war
because copper is contraband, the
price scared until it reached a record
mark, and it looks like it's going to
stay up. In every other line of in
dustry things are better.
IhlS is all good for the Democratic
party. In the midst Of prosperity the
people are certainly not going to talk
tariff, and they are not going to vote
for a change of administration. l have
no doubt that the president will be
renominated and reelected. His
strength among the people is wonder
full. | have had leading Republicans
everywhere tell me they intend to vote
for the president.
Il do not know, of course, what the
administration program may be re-
garding national defense, but l can
say that am in favor of any program
that provides for adequate prepared
ness, and 1 believe the people all over
the country favor it."

Our Policy in Mexico.

In Mexico the president has avoided
armed Intervention and yet eliminated
Huerta, who, even if not implicated in
the murder of Madero, was the tool of
the men who committed that crime,
and the president has secured the
nearly complete tranquilization of the
country under the man who comes
nearer than anyone else to represent
ing the constitutional elements in
Mexican policies. If the Republicans
think more ought to have been done,
they will have to admit they wish the
nation had beg a.party to war.

Overwhelmed With Prosperity.

One OF the great trunk-line railroads
has issued notices that it will accept
no more freight consigned for export
for an indefinite time to come. It's
tracks are full of loaded cars from
New York to Buffalo and hundreds of
them are hopelessly stalled on side
lines. Other trunk railroads are also
overwhelmed with traffic which is
damned up and sets back as far west
as the Ohio line.
We shall hear it said that the roads
have been starved into an insuficiency
of facilities to handle the business of
an ordinary degree of prosperity. This
is not the trouble at all. The trouble.
is at the seaboard, and the trouble
there is not an absolute scarcity of
shipping but a scarcity relative to ex-
port business far surprising all rec
ords.
Our actual exports are running in
value 25 to 95 per cent beyond the
usual volume of the season. This
means that more ship tonnage is Of
fering than ever before in spite of the
tie-up of German shipping and the
great losses and diversions of English
and French shipping because of the
war. Upper New York bay is full of
vessels loading from lighters-vessels
drawn from every quarter of the world
by high rates and a demand which
still vastly exceeds this extraordinary
supply of any old tonnage that will
float.

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,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
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 it ~accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an unc 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 caon day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of i~ndigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or we'll, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, as a harmless means Of washing
out Of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing. sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Millions Of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach. nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or
at the store, but is sufficient to DEM
onstrate to anyone, its cleansing,
sweetening and f~reshening effect upon
the system.-Adv.

Gently cleanse your liver and

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-

Poisonous matter clogged in the In

stomach, remove the sour, ~undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

Kitty was alive it was all the opportunity

She paused.
"Well?"
IL have my hands full with you until
you get out again." she answered lightly.
"That's what object to-, he said "If
being engaged is going to pin you down,
then l don't think you ought to be en-
gagged. You've had enough of that in
your life.'
The curious feature of her present po-
sition was that she had no sense of being
pinned down. She had thought of this in
the night. She had never felt freer in her
life. Within few hours of her engage
ment she had been able to do exactly
what she wished to do without single
qualm of conscience. She had been able
to come here and look after him in this
emergency.

moment just exactly what want to do;

any more about it. Can't we just let it
go on as it is little while?"
at suits me-" smiled Monte. $50
maybe I'm selfish, too"
MAYBE" she nodded. "Now I'll see
about your breakfast. The doctor told
me just what you must have"
So she went out-moving away like
vision in dainty white across the room
and out the door. A few minutes later she
was back again with a vase of red roses,
which she arranged upon the table where
he could see them.
MONTE'S recovery was rapid-in many
ways more rapid than he desired In
a few days Nurse Duval disappeared and
in few days more Monte was able to
dress himself with the help of the hotel
valet, and sit by the window while Mar
jory read to him. Half the time he gave
no heed to what she was reading, but that
did not detract from his pleasure in the
slightest. He liked the sound of her
voice, and liked sitting opposite her.
Her eyes We're always interesting when
she read. For then she forgot about them
and let them have their own way-now to
light with a smile, now to darken with
disapproval, and sometimes to grow very
tender, as the story she happened to be
reading dictated.
This was luxury such as Monte had
never known, and for more than ten years
now he had ordered of the world its
choicest in the way of luxury.
AT his New York club the experience of
many, many years in catering to man
comfort was placed at his disposal. That
same service was furnished him, if to a
more limited extent, on the transatlantic
liners. At Davos his needs were antic-
pated a week in advance; at Nice there
had been Edhart.
But no one at his club on the boat, or
at Davos-not even Edhart-had given
him this: this being the somewhat vague
word he used to describe what he was
now enjoying as Marjory sat by the win
dow reading to him. 1t had nothing to
do witt hoipcr "a aloud 4, IL on,lJ Of

"She said she was not sleepy" answered

IL
just because he was awake. There
was nothing sentimental about this con-
clusion. He did not think of it as it
affected her-merely as it affected him.
1t gave him rather a comfortable, COM
pleted feeling, as if he now had within
himself the means for peacefully enjoy
ing life, wherever he might be, even at
thirty-two. Under the influence of this
soothing thought, he fell asleep again.
AFTER the doctor and his assistant
"A were through with Monte the next
morning, they decided, after a consulta-
ton, that there was no apparent reason
why, during the day, Miss Stockton, if
she desired, should not serve as his nurse
while Miss Duval went home to sleep.
"My assistant will come in at least
twice. said Doctor Marcellin. "Be-
sides, you have the constitution of a
prize-fghter. 1t might we'll be possible
to place bullet through the heart of
such a man without discommoding him.
After they had gone out, Marjory came
in. She hesitated at the door mo-
ment, perhaps to make sure he was awake;
perhaps to make sure that she herself
was awake. Monte, from the bed, could
see her better than she could see him.
He thought she looked whittier than
usual, but she was very beautiful
There was something about her that
distinguished her from other women
from this nurse woman, for example, who
was the only other woman with whom
it was possible to compare her in like
situation. She was dressed in something
white and light and fluffy. Around her
white throat there was narrow band of
black velvet.
Good morning, Marjory," he called.
She came at once to his side, walking
graciously, as princess might walk.

1t was one thing to have her here in the

what else could l do?' She seated
herself in chair by his bed.
Because we are engaged?" he asked.
She smiled little.
"Then you have not forgotten?'

"Monsieur's fancee. With her maid,
she is occupying the next apartment in
order to be near monsieur. If you are
very quiet tonight it is possible that to-
morrow the doctor will permit you to
see her"
"Was that she who came in and whis-
pered to your"
"Yes, monsieur"
Monte remained quiet after that-but
he was not sleeping. He was thinking.
Marjory was in the next room, awake,
and at the sound of his voice had come
in. In the dark, even with this great
night city of Paris asleep around him, she
had come near enough so that he heard
the rustic of her skirt and her whispering
voice. That was unusual-most unusual
and rather satisfactory. If worse came
to worse and he reached point where it
was necessary for him to talk to some one,
he could get her in here again in spite of
this nurse woman. He had only to call
her name.
as she in there now?" Monte called to
the nurse in the dark
Certainly, monsieur. But l thought
you were sleeping
NO, he was not sleeping; but he did not
mind now the pain in his shoulder.
She had announced herself as his fiancee.
Well, technically, she was. He had asked
her to marry him, and she had accepted.
At the time he had not seen much further
ahead than the next few minutes; and
even then had not foreseen what was to
happen in those few minutes. The pro-
posal had given him his right to talk to
Hamilton, and her acceptance-well, it
had given Marjory her right to be here.
Curious thing about that code of rights
and wrongs! Society was stickler for
form. If either he or Marjory had neg
lected the preliminaries, then he would
have lain here alone This nurse woman
might have come, but she did not count;
and, besides, he had to get shot before
even she would be allowed
Now it was all right. 1t was all right
and proper for her, all right and proper
for him, all right and proper for society.
Not only that, but it was so utterly nor
NAL that society would have frowned if
she had not hurried to his side in such an
emergency. 1t forced her here, willy
nilly. Perhaps that was the only reason
she was here.
Still, he did not like to think that. She
was too true blue to quit friend. 1t
would be more like her to come anyway.
He remembered how she had stood by
that old aunt to the end. She would be
standing by her to-day were she alive.
Even Chic, who fulfilled his own obliga-
tions to the last word, had sometimes
urged her to lead her own life, and she
had only smiled. There was man stuff
in her.
