Master Richard Smith. four year old son of MT. and Mrs. Joseph H. Smith of 226 Connecticut avenue.

When the mem bers of the One Hundredth and Thir- ty-Fourth company, Coast Artillery corps, of Fort Wright left on Sunday morning in early June bound for Eagle Pass, the little fellow asked to be taken to the Union station to see them off Clutcf1ed tightly in his hand was a small silk Rag. which had been given hom a few weeks before by Postmaster Bryan F. Mahan. # When he reached the station, all the soldiers were on board the cars, platform One of them. Private Philip Maher. attracted the attention of the boy and the latter asked to be lifted up to the window. Handing the flag to Private Maher. he said: Please, Mir. Soldier. bring 1t back safe"
 T win. my boy" was the answer After four months on the frontier
 Private Maher is back. So is the flag dust stained and wrinkled, but the same silk flag. And on 1t was em- broidered by an Indian woman neal San Antonio, with painful neatness: "For Richard Smith. New London Officers of the company declare that Private Maher wore the flag on hi' blouse front every day until the re turned to Fort Wright"

DRINK WATER TO
 AVOID SICKNESS SAYSAUTHORITY
GLASS OF HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST DAILY KEEPS
 THE DOCTOR AWAY.

Sanitary science has of late made
 rapid strides with results that are of
 untold blessing to humanity. The
 latest application of its untiring re-
 search is the recommendation that it
 is as necessary to attend to internal
 Sanitation of the drainage system of
 the human body as 1t is to the drains of the house.
 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, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flush ing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether aiiing. sick or
 well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonfu1 of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and sweetening and purifying the entire aiimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out all the sour and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly com plexions are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little l but is sufficient to make anyone g pronounced crank on the subject o1 | internal sanitation.

DEAL WILL MEAN
 ESTABLISHMENT OF SHEPARD
H. C. Rowe Property on Eastern Point
 Road Has Been Sold.

It would seem that there was very little doubt of the truth of the ru- mored sale of the H. c. Rowe proper ty.
 It is said the deal will mean the establishing of a shipyard on the property and while Tn some ways it might be of industrial benefit to the locality it is generally believed that 1t would be an injury to the Point as a summer resort. The Rowe property has all the advantages needed for such a place of business as is said the the new owner would desire. The land is close, to the railroad and the water and the water there is deer enough for all practical purposes.
