Patriotic Days.

July IS and 10 should be red let
ter days in the history Of our state
July is the month Of patriotism We
have Just celebrated glorious
Fourth. Many citizens have recently
testified to their patriotism by enlist
ing in the state militia and are even
now on the way TO the front. Those
who have remained behind, should
turn out on these two days and show
their patriotism in constructive
manner by helping build better
roads.
The building Of better roads Is
truly patriotic duty because there
is no other form Of public improve
ment which brings as great good to
as great number of the people.
Good roads will benefit the entIr"
community and every patriotic cili-
zen should come out and work for
for them.

Although many Democrats in the
rank and file have changed their
minds on the tariff question it is
evident that the leaders Of the party
with whom legislative power rests.
have changed little, If any says an eX-
change. In his keynote speech MS
chairman of the St Louis convention,
Senator Ollie NJ. James said;
1.-THE Democratic party undertook 10
enact a new tariff law in keeping with
the historic principles Of the Demo-
cratic party. The Democratic party
believes that the right Of taxation can
only exist for the purpose Of raising
sufficient revenue to run the govern
ment. 49,. We undertook the reiorma-
ton Of the tariff with open minds and
clean hands, unowned unpledged to
any interest except that Of the pub
lie welfare. and We are proud OF our
achievement in writing into the law

The historic principle Of the Dem
Ocratic party since 1876 has been "A
tariff for revenue only" As rev.
cnue producer the Undorwood-Sim-
mons law has been sorry failure, and
war tax. for country at peace,
was enacted to piece out the failing
revenues OF that law on the plea that
the war had stopped Importation. IN
spite Of the war, importarIons for the
fiscal year ending June 80, amounted
to over $2.OOO.0OO0OO, about S3O0.OOO,-
600 greater than the record under a
Republican law, while customs rev
enues amounted to about $200,00o,0D0
or $ll0.OOO.O0O less than those realized
under the Republican law for the ifs
cal year 1913. Furthermore, the par
agraph in the Underwood Simmons
law. providing for free sugar to take
effect May !, 1916, was hastily repeal
ed by the Democrats in April because
Of the continued failure Of the tariff
law as a revenue producer. Adhcr-
ence TO the Democratic principle has
resulted in the direct taxation Of the
people, who pay out of their own peck
cts. Under the Republican policy the
foreigner paid for sending his goods
into the American market, and the
price Of admission went into the cof-
fers Of the federal treasury and paid
about one-half the expenses Of run

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 a certain amount Of incombustible
material in the form Of ashes, so the
food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimenta~y canal certain
amount Of indigestible material which
If not completely eliminated from the sys-
TEN each day, becomes food for the
millions OF bacteria which infest the
bowels. From this mass Of leftover
waste. toxins and ptomaine-like Poisons
are formed and sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feeling
right must begin to take inside baths.
Before eating breakfast each morning
drink a glass Of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it
TO wash out of the thirty feet of bowels
the previous Gays accumulation of pois-
ons and toxins and to keep the entire
alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache. colds, biliousness, constipation.
others who wake up with bad taste, foul
breath, backache rheumatic stiffness, or
have a sour. gassy stomach after meals,
are urged to get a quarter 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 i'm
portant than outside bathing, because
the skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, causing poor health, while
the bowel pores do. Just as soap anC
