Not a Bite of
 Breakfast Until
 You Drink Water Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind certain amount of incombus- tible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible mater iai, which if not completely elimina- ted from the system each day, be- which infests the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptomain-like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't get feel ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary ca nal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, OlhtIS NuO Mdht up Nilil Ddu laoeC' foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals are urged to get a quar- ter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store and begin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make any one an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm purities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweet ems and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els.-Adv.

RACING F0R ARIZONA HELPED BY COURT IN
 BETTING DEcISI0N \
Pari-Mutual Machine Declar- cd by Supreme Bench to be Within Law and Phoenix May Become Haven.

PHOENIX, March 20.-The unusual incident of the attorney generals ce-
 partment agreeing with counsel for de- fendants in a criminal case was pre- sented in the state supreme court when in the case of state of Arizona
 against S. w. Mccall, G. w. Harben, assistant attorney general, informed
 the court. in the course of the argu-
 ment, that he agreed with the main contention made by counsel for appel lants.
 The case involved the question of
 whether the operation of so-called Pari-Mutual machine in connection
 with horse racing in the state of Ari-
 z0na contravenes the gaming statutes
 of the state.
 In order to make test case on this
 question Mccall operated Pari-Mutu- el machine at the state fair last fall in connection wi,h the races. 4 prOsecu- .ion was instituted against him in the superior court Of Maricopa county, and the court held that the Pari-Mutuel system was illegal. Appeal was then aken to the state supreme court and the matter was argued and submitted. c. ". Harben, assistant attorney general. appeared for the state, while G. p. Bullard and the legal firm of Car penter & Company appeared as attor- leys for the appellant.
 The cruX Of the argument of defend ants counsel was that inasmuch as neither horse racing nor betting upon races was prohibited by the statutes of Arizona, any Intermediary device whereby a wager upon a race should Ire carried out. as by Q Pari-Mutuel machine for instance. could not losi- cally and consistently be held to be in violation of the law.
 The brief Of the attorney general de fning his views in the matter was in part as follows:
 Before the proceedings were insti- .tuted against the apellant in the lower court, the department Of the attorney general rendered it's opinion that the operation of Pari-MUtuel machine within the state of Arizona would not contraYene tEe gaming laws of the .state. and accordingly it now desires 10 submit the question now before the court upor the argument and authOri- ties advanced by the appellants brief together with some additional obserya- tions, which will be presen,eG Tn Jnls brief
 "It is perhaps not amiss 10 say that the department of the attorney gener- .al is of the opinion that a Pari-Mutuel Iwachine may be operated within the state of Arizona without violating the gaming laws. not because of any de- sire it has to see the operation of Pari-Muluel machine within the state.
 bUt on the other hand. it is of the dis interested opinion that the public poli- cy of the state.

That Freddie Welsh will be unex- psctedly robbed of the title by some younger and aggressive aspirant is the prediction of close observers of the lightweight champion. These same critics aver that Welsh has been the greatest lightweight ever but they call to the fact that he is grow ing old and Father Time will not be denied in depriving the once little ring master of his stamina and general qualities of aggression.

Fred Fulton se- IS to have sound claim for a cha-ce against Willard. Fulton succeeded m doing what noted heavies have tried and failed for ( long time, nanel-, to administer the sleep punch to J. ] Flynn, the Pueblo fireman. Flynn. one of the gamest ring battlers of si inc, evidently was matched against 10 big and strong an opponent.
 Fulton is pres lg his claims for a chance with Willard. The Rochester, Minn., fighter sas that Moran is elim- mated by his defc1. in Madison Square Garden and assures the followers Of the ring game l. ct he is the logical man to oppose th- Kansas giant.
 However, Fultor : management would like to match Fu on against the Dub lin giant, Jim Cofey, believing the Irishman to be t o best of the heavies outside of Jess Willard. himself
 Jim Corbett cla ms that he privately predicted that Johnson would defeat Jeffrles and that Willard would whip the negro. Corbott says he has been 'kidded" a lot about his selections but that, really, he hasn't been such a poor prophet as the newspapers have made him appear.

 It seems too bad that the mat game cant be local sport feature. Charlie Goodrich, one Of the fastest and clean est of the younger crop of mat artists, has been in Risboe for some time. Charlie doesn't haze a chance to show his mat abilities here, however.
 Pitcher Corhaa, secured by Manager Miller Huggias CT the Cardinals, is expected to show great things for the St. Louis c1ieftaiI.
 There seems to be a general trend of sentiment in favor of more collegi ate rowing Brown Alumni Monthly, one of the strongest eastern college publications, is conducting a camp aign for the resumption of the water sport at the Providence university.
 Interest runs nigh in this after noon's big track and field contest be- tween Copper CIeen and c. 6 A. ath- letes. It is rather hard to attempt to pick a winner as the performances Of the different men have been kept more or less under cover. One thing is certain that big crown of lovers of Sport will journey to Warren Field to witness the competition in the var ious events.

In the appointment OF the Republi-

most significant way the political CO.
operation and interest OF women citi-
zens OF America The committee is
not a suffrage committee. 1t repre-
sents women both as voters and as
active participants in the whole social
and political life OF the country in this
campaign.
The craftsmanship and non-parti-
sanship Of this recognition is seen in
the nationwide representation OF the
committee which includes states
where they do not Mr.. Wilcox has
lifted at one stroke the political ac-
tlvity of women above the strife for
suffrage and has made it of construc-
tive value TO the country. He has
made it clear that women's co-opera-
tion is welcome along ali lines wheth-
el they vote or not.
The women appointed is itself in
dicative Of the new spirit abroad in
Republican politics--the spirit that
takes women's work on its merit and
admits them to its counsels because
OF proved ability and leadership
The time has come for the national
ization Of work and issues in which
women are interested, for the abo-
lition of sectional. state and sex lines
in political work, and for the political
education and expression Of women
on broad lines, for the welfare of the
whole country.
