War Heads Reduced to Five.

London, Dec. 10.---The official list
OF the new ministry issued tonight
follows the unofficial forecasts with
two or three minor changes. Mr..
LlOyd-GeOrge, Lord Miner, Earl
Curzon, BOnar Law and Arthur Hen
derson form what is officially termed
the war cabinet, while the others
who ordinarily have been designated
as cabinet ministers are called heads
Of departments.
An important point in this novel
organization is that 1t concentrates
far moro power in the hands OF the
prime minister than the British sys-
tenn has ever known before. Mr..
Lloyd-George's proposals to Premier
Asquith were for a war council, Of
which the premier should not be a
member. although he should have
the power Of passing on It's work.

one look at the haggard face showed
Duane that the outlaw had taken his
last ride. He knew it, too. Yet that
cheerfulness prevailed.
'.Buck, will you take off my boots?"
he asked, with a faint smile on his
pallid face.
Duane removed them, wondering if
the outlaw had the thought that he

Two days later. about the middle OF
the forenoon, Duane dragged the two
horses up the last ascent Of an exceed
ingly rough trail and found himself on
TOP of the Rim Rock, with beautiful,
green valley at his feet, the yellow,
sluggish Rio Grande shining in the
sun. and the great, wild mountainous
barren of Mexico stretching to the
south.
No wonder outlaws were safe in that
wild refuge! Duane had spent the last
two days climbing the toughest and
most difficult trail he had ever seen.
From the looks Of the descent he
imagined the worst part Of his travel

The outlaw had bloody foam on his
lips, and he was splitting blood.

Duane. II never thought. You seemed

oval, Luke Stevens may be as gabby
as an old woman, but sometimes he
doesn't say anythin'. 1t wouldn't have
done no good"
Duane babe him sit down, removed
his shirt, and washed the blood from
his breast and back. Stevens had been
shot in the breast, fairly low down,
and the bullet had gone clear through
him. His ride, holding himself and
that heavy pack in the saddle, had
been feat little short Of marvellous.
Duane did not see how it had been
possible, and he felt no hope for the
outlaw. But he plugged the wounds
and bound them tightly.
'Feller's name was Brown" Stevens
said. "Me an him fell out over boss

and he could not look the cheerful out

with you. Brown an his friends will

You've got to think of number one in
this game"
."What would you do in my case?''
asked Duane curiously.
oval, reckon I'd clear out an save
my niue, Iepllcu OteFcuS.
Duane felt inclined to doubt the out
laws assertion. For his own part, he
decided his conduct without further
speech. First he watered the horses,
filled canteens and water bag, and then
tied the pack upon his own horse
That done, he lifted Stevens upon his
horse, and, holding him in the saddle
turned into the brakes, being careful
to pick out hard or grassy ground that
left little signs Of tracks. Just about
dark he ran across a trail that Ste
vens said was a good one to take into
the wild country.
'Reckon we'd better keep right on
in the dark-til1 I Drop" continued
Stevens, with a laugh.
All that night Duane, gloomy and
thoughtful, attentive to the wounded
outlaw, walked the trail and never
halted. Dawn caught the fugitives at

"Not much" replied Duane.
"When the moneys gone how will
you live? There amt any work de-
cent Teller could do. You can't herd

"God knows" replied Duane, hope-
lessly. "Ill make my money last as
long as possible-then starvc.",
oval, I'm pretty pore, but you'll
never starve while got anythin'."
Here it struck Buck again-that
something human and kind and eager
which he had seen in Stevens. Duane's
estimate Of outlaws had lacked this
quality. He had not accorded them
any virtues.
'T'm much obliged to you, Euchre,'
replied Duane. "But Of course won't

share"

almost inaccessible nature Of the val
ley.
@Some comes across from Mexico,
an the rest down the river. That
river trip Is bird. It's more'n five
hundred miles to any supply point.
Bland has mozos, greaser boatmen.
Sometimes, too, he gets supplies in
from down-river. You see, Bland sells
thousands of cattle in Cuba. An oil
this stock has to go down by boat to
meet the ships"
"Wherc on earth are the cattle
driven down to the river?" asked
Duane.
eThet's not my secret" replied Eu-
chre shortly. "Fact is, I don't know.
I've rustled cattle for Bland, but he
never sent me through the Rim Rock
with them"
Duane experienced q sort Of pleas
ure in the realization that interest had
been stirred In him. He was curious
about Bland and his gang, and glad to
have something to think about. For
every once in q while he had sensa-
ton that was almost like pnpg. Re
wanted to forget. In the next hour he
did forget, and enjoyed helping in the
preparation and eating Of the meal.
Euchre, after washing and hanging up
the several utensils, put on his hat and
turned to go out.
"Come along or stay here, as you
want" he said to Duane.
It'll stay" rejoined Duane slowly.
The old outlaw left the room ana
trudged away, whistling cheerfully.

SAYS We BECOME
CRANKS ON HOT
WATER DRINKING
Hopes every man and women
adopts this splendid
morning habit.

Why is man and woman. half the
time. feeling nervous, despondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull
capacitated by illness?
If we all would practice inside
Eathing, what a gratifying change
would take place. Instead of thou
sands of half-sick, anaemic looking
souls with pasty, muddy compilations,
we should see crowds of happy,
healthy, rcsy-cheeked people every
where. The reason is that the human
system does not rid itself each day of
all the waste which it accumulates
under our present mode of living. For
every ounce of food and drink taken
into the system nearly an ounce of
waste material must be carried out,
else it ferments and forms ptomaine-
like poisons, which are absorved 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, whether
sick or well. are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestibls material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting 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-b bath. A
quarter-pound of limestone phosphate
will not cost much at the drug store,
but is sufficient to demonstrate to
anyone its cleansing, sweetening and
freshening effect upon the system.
