PRESIDENT HITS AT
JINCO WAR CROWD

Detroit, July 11.-President Wilson
delivered smashing blow at those
who would force war upon Mexico for
commercial gain.
Speaking before the world statesmen
congress he said:
"We must respect the sovereignty
of Mexico.
II say for the benefit of those who
wish to butt in that Mexico feels we
do not wish to help her, but to possess
her. This is due to the manner in
which some have tried to exploit her
possessions. l for one will not help
these men,"
Reiterating his advocacy of mer-
chant marine the president sounded a
call to business men to respond to the
new demands of craftsmanship.
Lift your eyes to the horizon of
business" he urged in closing, land
with the thought that you stand for
the liberties of mankind, sell your
goods and try to convert the people
to the principle of America"

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out,
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a we'll
known physician.
q keeps these 'poisons and toxins
we. flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phQs-
plate in it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
lis inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which Is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
TEN of these vile poisons and toxins:
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel: like
you felt before your blood. nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep 1t up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so
limestone phosphate and hot water be-
fore breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.

The department of agriculture keeps
up special motion picture factory at
which 1t makes the films It uses in
promoting scientific farming. The de-
partment heads use the films to illus
trate lectures and the field force shows
them at country schoolhouses and
churches, where they have invariably
attracted large and interested audi
ences. Even before the factory was
set up various bureaus of the depart
ment made use Of films in educating
the public. Thus, the bureau of ami
NAL industry had special film to
show the southern farmers how to
make and use the dipping watts that
would free their herds Of ticks. It also
shows films that illustrate the correct
ways of handling meat, breeding cattle
and raising poultry. The good roads
division and the forest service have
made similar effective use of motion
pictures.

HAS WON PLACE IN HISTORY
Work Of German Engineer in Asis
Minor Deserving Of the High
est Commentator.

Meissner, who is but q few years
older than the kaiser, went out to
Turkey as young engineer shortly
before Wilhelm assembled the throne,
and has made one portion or another
of the Ottoman empire his special
field of endeavor ever since. AS Ger
many's Eastward Ho! policy was q
nebulous hope rather than definite
plan up to the beginning of the pres
ent century, the first decade or so Of
Meissner's work In Turkey was as
lnselfiSh In character as were the la
bors of those distinguished Britons
who have built the railways Of Ar
gentina and Peru or reformed the GUS
toms of China. During this period
the foundation of the present railway
system was laid in what was then
Turkey in Europe, and considerable
Asia Minor. How much OF Meissner's
work Of the last fifteen years has
been in direct furtherance Of the
kaiser's far-reaching eastern ambi-
tions it would be very difficult to say;
probably, indeed, he has little idea
himself. But however much he has
been made a pawn in the game Of
Realpolitik, am confident that there
are very few who have followed his
work of the last thirty years who will
not grant that the handspring Of his
personal efforts was a deep and SIN
cere affection for Turkey and the
Turkish people. The type is a COM
mon one in the last century Of British
history, but Meissner is the only Ger
man / have ever met worthy of in.
