clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are Of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est 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 it 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 stom-
ach, can, instead. feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
stagnant matter.

little, but is sufficient to make any
one a pronounced crank on the sub

CERTAIN TYPES OF
EVANGELIST SCORED
Rev. Nabo4h Osborne At eurlington
Hits Darnstorming Class at
State Meeting.

Rev. Naboth Osborne, who has
spoken here, hits the transforming
evangelist in the following, according
to the Hawkeye:
DR.. Napoth Osborne, pastor of the
First Congregational church of Bur-
lington, was elected assistant moder-
ator at the Iowa Congregational con-
ference which was held in Davenpor.
last week. Rev. H. F. Milligan, Of
Dubuque, was elected moderator, and
L. r.. j. Montgomery, Of Red Oak, Is
scribe. The conference went on record
for international peace, sane pre-
paredness and pledged its co-opera-
ton with President Wilson. DR.. o.
borne was toastmaster at the brother
hood banquet held in the Edwards
Congregational church Wednesday
night.
A bitter denunciation Of ''barn-
storming'' evangelists was made by
Rev. DR.. Osborne, following the report
Of the committee on evangelical Work.
IT object to the average evangelist
as ignorant and vulgar" DR.. Osborne
said II do not believe that the base
ball diamond or coal mine is the
proper training. ground for a minister
IF member Of my congregation
would habitually use the kind Of Ian
guage affected by most evangelists, I
would say he was unfit to belong to
my church. The talks they usually
give appeal only to debased minds.
81 believe that the church should
support sane, conservative, educated
constructive evangelists, but I don't
believe the bars should be let down
for anyone"

were fed. He breathed the air for
nearly an hour without any harmful
results
The substitute Is more safe than
gasoline in the matter Of explosion,
according to the tests conducted here.
A match can DO touched to it and 1t
will burn like kerosene, or a gasoline
stove may be filed with it and the
liquid will serve for fuel. 1t is very
highly ignitable, however, in gaso-
line engine.
The final tests Of the fuel were
made several weeks ago in launch
of the six cylinder type. With
party Of representatives number Of
the large oil companies, Fairchild
used the fuel for an hours trip up
the Mississippi from Clinton. The
figures show that the cost was a little
over IL cents for fuel. The engineer
was unable to open the throttle, the
substitute having such great power
that the motor would not run when
the feed was wide open.
The single drawback to the new
fuel is the fact that, like kerosene, it
throws off much more smoke than
gasoline. This evil the discoverer
is trying to eliminate now, and it is
expected that final negotiations for
placing the fuel on the market will
be closed in the near future.

According to the present law they

more and more apparent. The

aware OF the fact that they can
not be lawfully confined in the
