ing, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands OF
half.sick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
TEN nearly an ounce OF waste material
must be carried out, else 1t ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot. SO we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, as a harmless means Of washing
out Of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Millions Of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A quar-
ter pound Of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or
at the store, but is sufficient to DEM
onstrate to anyone, its cleansing,

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, catnartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The childrens revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
OF mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-

A Burning Glass In the Eye.

In the front part Of each Of our eyes
IL convex lens Of great power and
clearness. It acts exactly like burn
ing glass. If person was made to
look at the sun, say, for half minute,
his eye would actually start to burn
up. The lens would focus the rays of
the sun on the retina, and that part Of
the eye would Immediately scorch and
later would burn to crisp. This can
happen, however. only when one looks
at the sun directly or In mirror. If
one holds pin between the sun and
the eye and looks at the pin, although
the sun Is In a direct line with the eye
and although its rays are entering the
eye, the eye is not hurt, because the
rays are not focused inside the eyeball.
This is the wonderful property the lens
has, that Of focusing objects at differ
emit distances. The means by which It
does this are its power to change its
curvature,

Enoi.nd's First Savings Bank.

Writing Of women's work and thrift,
one Is reminded that the first savings
bank was instituted by a woman
Mrs. Priscilla Wakef1eld-who inaugu-
rated q bank scheme for the encour-
agement Of thrift among the children
Of Tottenham toward the end Of the
eighteenth century. This proved so
successful that in 1904 she extended
her plan Of a charitable bank to in
ciude adults, and similar institutions
were set up elsewhere. generally by
ladies. .Eg| Gtt 5&.#s@ H. ..
In 1903 Whitbread proposed a ma
honal savings bank, but parliament
would have none Of It. It was not
until Scotch minister, the Rev. Henry
Duncan Of Ruthwell, established one
on self supporting basis In his par
ish and set an example copied In al
most every other district Of Scotland
that parliament at last recognized the
savings bank as national concern

The Clock Of Death.


The clock at Hampton Court pal
ace, London, derived It's unpleasant t.
tie Of 'the clock of death" by reason
Of superstition that whenever any
one long resident in the palace dies the
clock Immediately stops. It Is on rec
ord that when Anne Of Denmark, the
queen Of James l., died the old time
piece was striking and that it stop
ped almost before the last stroke
sounded. Since that time 1t Is said to
have repeated this grisly proceeding
each time a royal parsonage within its
Jurisdiction died. ". ".
At any rate, the clock has an inter-
esting history quite aside from this. 1t

made In England. being constructed In
1910 for Henry VIII. Thirty-two

seeing that the number Of dwelling

held in Washington In 1915 what Is
believed to be the largest flag in the
world was carried In the parade by
the delegation from Canton. o. It
measured 1873 feet In length by 80
feet in width. The stripes were over
six feet wide. while the stars In the
union measured five feet across from
point to point. The weight Of the flag
was over half ton, while lit men
were required to carry 1t along the line
Of march. More than 10000 hands set
the necessary stitches. while sewed

Canton who contributed either money
Or labor to the construction Of this
