An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps Illness away.
This excellent, common-sense
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
OF vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the blood,
causing i'll health while the pores in
the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast glass
of hot water with teaspoonful Of
limestone phosphate in it, as harm
less means of helping to wash from the
stomach liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible material,
poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water celanses
and freshens the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
eliminative organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have
dull, aching head, sallow complexion
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation
should obtain quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
demonstrate the value of inside bath
ing Those who continue it each
morning are assured of pronounced re-
suits, both in regard to health and ap-
pearance. advt

We have just completed our monthly
examinations and let me tell you they
were sho' nuf hard. So many pupils
are afraid they will have to stand
quarterlies. The quarterlies come
next week, and some of the good little
kids are going to get out and leave the
bad kids at work.
We have all been very much inter

The other day Miss Mary Mathis

boy came up to Miss Mary and said,
Miss Mary, l haven't ever seen an
elephant" Miss Mary said
ooh, yes, you've seen them in circus
es." The little boy said, Il never have
seen a circus" Miss Mary said
"'Well, you've seen them in parades."
He told her he had never seen a par
ade. We are all glad that circus is
coming so this little boy will see an
elephant. If any body wants to borrow
little boy to take to the circus, he'd
be good one

BIC QUESTION IS UP
AND MAT TERI5 LOST

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 11-Can the
Western & Atlantic railroad, owned by
the state of Georgia, valued at 100000
GOO and backbone of the states credit,
be protected from the building of a
parallel line in the event of a decis-
ion by the state supreme court holding
unconstitutional the act of the legisla-
ture prohibiting the issuance of a
charter for parallel line?
The question has been raised as a
result of the discovery that the con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
issuance of such a charter, which ex-
Governor Joseph NJ Brown asked the
people to vote against in the election
last Tuesday, was never passed by
the legislature, and therefore was not
submitted to the people in that cleo
ton.
Such an amendment passed the SEN
ate in 1915 and was read three times
in the house but in the confusion sur
rounding the sine die adjournment.
which was forced by the prohibition
lists in order to necessitate an extra
session, it never reached vote in that
body.
it will, however, be re-introduced in
the legislature at the 1917 term. in the
opinion of members of the house and
senate, and will be one of the most i'm
portant questions of the term. 1t will
raise again the issue of the proposed
sale of the Western & Atlantic rail
road, and on this issue the two leading
members of the house who are candi-
dates for speaker, will sharply divide.
Representative w. H. Burwell, OF
Hancock county, speaker of the house
in 1924, and 1876, is an advocate
of the sale Of the Western & Atlantic,
While Representative N. F. Culpepper,
of Meriwether, who is running against
Mr.. Burwell for speaker of the house
in 1918, has fought the proposar
vigorously and successfully.
Should the supreme court decide ia
the case taken up by the Louisville &
Nashville railroad, that the Legislature
had no authority to pass the anti-par-
alleling act, the state will then be
confronted with the necessity of post
poning final decision, by an appeal to
the United States supreme court, until
a constitutional amendment can be
passed by the legislature and approx
ed by the people.

ORPET'S FATE TO JURY
Lawyers VIII Close Arguments by 6
O'Clock Tonight.

Court Room, Waukegan, Ill, July
14.-Will Orpet's fate may rest with
the jury late today.
At the opening of today's session of
Will Orpet's trial for Marian Lam
berts murder, Judge Charles H. Dom
nelly urged lawyers for the defense
and state to hasten their final pleas.
James H. Wilkerson, chief of Orpet's
counsel, the last to speak for the
youth, planned to complete his state
ment shortly after noon, giving way
to Special Prosecutor Joslyn for the
state.
IF finish my plea by o'clock to-
day 1 shall ask the court to charge the
jury Immediately afterward," Joslyn
announced. The conflicting theories
of murder and suicide were flung
again and again at the jurors in argu-
ments today. Wilkersons closing plea
was to be dramatic. States Attorney
Dady announced definitely that the
state will not demand the death pen
atty.
"All we want is a conviction" he
declared.
The state was ready today, in event
of Orpet's acquittal on the murder
charge, to ask several indictments for
perjury in connection with the case
One witness, Mrs. Edwin Taylor, at
whose home in Madison, Wis, Orpet
roomed, has already been summoned
before the October grand jury to tes-
tify in this connection.

BIDS FOR MOOSE
President Wilson Formally
Asks Progressive Help.
Would Accept Leadership, He
Writes to j. G.. Parker.

Washington, July 14.-Expressing
belief that his party represents the
larger part of the Progressive power
and thought of the country than any
other party" President Wilson today
made a formal bid for the Progressive
vote at the coming election.
In letter to ]. c. Parker, Pro-

would accept the leadership of pro-
gressives of all parties, President Will
son wrote:
MY Dear Mr.. Parker: L have read
your letter of July 10 with a great
deal of attention and with very seri-
Gus interest, and realize as keenly as
you do the anomalous conditions by
which many of the Progressive voters
of the country are being confused and
misled, as well as the old, inveterate
attractions which seem to control the
choice of many of them in matters po-
litical. In answer to the question con-
tanned in your letter, / will say thai
for my own part, have no jealousy
whatever of independent organiza-
| lions intended to keep the independ.
ent voters of the country reminded OF
their opposition and fully informed
as to parties and the conditions under
which votes are being solicited.
For myself, / sincerely desire and
have tried to deserve the support of al
progressive, forward-looking men.
! believe, and 1 think that recent expert
ence has confirmed, that the Demo

of the progressive power and thought
of the country than any other party
and that it can be made the instru-
ment, and is being made the instru-
| ment, of leadership in the direction
| which all men who love Justice and
progress must wish to take. It is fol
| that reason that 1 am proud to be the
nominee and to have the opportunity
| to lead it,
| Cordially and sincerely yours,

BIG BAG OF TAGS
State Sending Out Thousands
of Auto Licenses.
Department Able to Handle
S $4,000 During Month.

With the best orga nization and
most rapid progress at any time since
its Organization, the state automobile
department is this year keeping
abreast with all orders for license
tags. More than 5000 license tags
each tag weighing a pound-will have
left the secretary of states office
when the first two weeks work of the
department is concluded Saturday
night.
CARTS Myers, in charge of the auto
mobile department, in the office or j.
T. Botkin, secretary of state, an
nounced today that applications had
been received for more than 46,OO0
tags. Orders received today Will
leave the state house Saturday and
the tags will be in the hands of the
motor car owners Monday. Careful
organization of the department under
Secretary Botkin's direction has re-
suited in a system of efficiency which
has marked the daily handling of two
tons of tags and thousands of pieces
of mail and filing records.
I'VE are right up with the work and
are handling the shipment of tags with
greater speed than ever before" said
Myers Every days orders are reg
istered and tags shipped imme diately.
As a result of the organization of the
department, motor car owners have
not been compelled to wait for their
tags and the department has establish
ed new record in the matter of work
accom- plished. If automobile owners
will just order their tags promptly
through their local county treasurers,
the department will handle more than
$4,000 tags during the month-nearly
the entire registration for last year."

BLAME IT ON WAR
Shark Scare Due to Lack of Liners
Says Old Pilot.

South Norwalk, Conn, July IL
Frank N. Ferris, deep sea pilot of
wide reputation, declares the ravages
by man-eating sharks is the result
of the war. He says so few liners are
now crossing the Atlantic and so little
food is being picked up by the sharks
that they are driven by hunger to des-
perate measures.
Captain Ferris is also convinced the
number of bodies of war victims
flowing into the sea has altered the
nature of the northern shark.
There have always been 10 and L.
foot sharks in northern waters, he
states, but they have never shown a
tendency to attack man. He thinks
the nature of these sharks has
changed, rather than that the south
ern species has moved north.
