GLASS OF WATER

Wash Poison from System Each Morn
ing and Feel Fresh as Daisy.

Every day you clean the house YOU
live in to get rid of the dust and dirt
which collected the previous day. Your
body, the house your soul lives in, also
becomes filed up each twenty-four hours
with all manner of filth and poison. If
only every man and woman could real
ize the wonders of drinking phosphated
hot water, what a gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly
anaemic- choking men, women and girls
with pasty or muddy complications; in
stead of the multitudes of "nerve
wrecks, - 'rundowns, - 10 brain Tags
and pessimists we should see a virile,
optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked PEG
pie everywhere.
Everyone, whether sick or well
should drink each morning before

ACCUSED OF BIGAMY.
Cornell Says He Married His Second
Wife to Protect Her.

RUTLAND, Jan. IS. = Charles J.
Cornell of Albany, \. Y, was arrested
here yesterday on warrant issued by
Grand Juror Novak, charged with big
amy.
The prisoner did not deny that he
had married twice without securing a
divorce. He told the officers strange
story of alleged police persecution in
Albany on account of his first wife,
Margaret Barrett of Watervliet, \. Y,
who he claims, tried to secure $1,000
from his parents at one time, and his
later marriage IN this city on Nov. -,
1915, to Miss Dorothy Lillian CARMEL
to protect her, as he claims. from a
prominent Rutland man, whose atten-
tions were encouraged by her mother.
Connell, who is u years old, said he
once served IA months in a reforma-
tory at Elmira, n. Y, and when he
came out he tipped a coin to deter
mine whg her he would follow tho
crooked or straight path. The coin IA
vored better life, but he said he had
been bounded by the police, so he had
practically decided to abandon his
mode of living.

Now is the Time for tho Book Of Knowledge The mother cannot be too careful during the earliest years about the accuracy, truth and beauty of the pictures the child sees. the stories he hears. and the facts with which his little mind is fed. From four to eighteen are the years of greatest need. when the child must create the habit Of reading and acquiring knowledge at first hand. During the per. iod of school life parents have found it necessary to purchase many different books on different subjects, but THE BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE takes the place of all of these books, and has made for the child Q wonderful selection of the real ly important and essential knowledge Of the world, exactly suited to growing minds

We are simply delighted with The Book Of Knowledge. The boys have made 1t almost their only reading matter since it came. We all like the books. l find there are an amazing number of things in this world that I don't know thing about, and that if I don't get busy my children will beat me 10 1t. The best Of 1t is. of course that they don't know they are being educated. The process Is so pleasant.

 Mir. Byers proposes to furnish aer. oplane service twice @ week through out the year, carrying 1000 pounds of mail on each trip at Q rate of S49000 a year. The Post Office De- partment estimates that this would affect net saving of S34.55S a year. and the mails from the States Co the Nome district would be advanced from twenty to twenty-one days.
 With aeroplaLe service in operation between Seward and Iditarod this route would be made the trunk line over which mails for points In the territory north of fditerod would be served. In winter this would relieve the expensive and roundabout ser. vice from Cordova to Fairbanks. Co Panama. to Unalakleet. to Solomon and Nome. of a considerable burden of the mall now carried.
