IN LONDON OFFICERS MUST
SALUTE OFFICERS HIGHER UP

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Under a new
army order officers have begun to
salute officers of higher rank in the
streets of London. The more fire.
quented parts of the city are con-
stantly congested with men in khaki
and saluting already had become an
exhausting business when INDUCED in
between officers and men. But now
the new ukase has gone forth as fol-
lows:
when not on duty or parade, but in
uniform, officers under the rank OF
field officers will salute all officers OF
field rank and upwards Field offic-
ers and general officers will salute
their superiors in rank"
This means that all officers in uni
form below the rank Of major must
salute senior majors and officers OF
higher rank. 1t always has been Gus
tomary for officers to salute the in
sigma of the Victoria Cross.

SECOND MIS-TRIAL IN CASE
AGAINST RASKIN AT SAVANNAH

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. 28.-After
having been out for twenty -four hours
the second jury in the case of Joe
Raskin, charged with having violated
the state prohibition laws, reported
that no verdict had been reached, ana
Judge John O'Rourke, Jr., declared a
second mis-trial Court attaches be-
lieve that the case against Raskin will
now be dropped. 1t is certain that he
will not be tried again at this term.
The city court is still grinding away
upon the large batch of prohibition
cases that have accumulated since the
new dry laws went into effect on May
1. There still remains a large num-
Der of them to be considered.
In spite of the large number of cases
that have been made by the police,
there is apparently little diminution in
the amount of liquor and beer consum-
ed in Savannah 1t is estimated that
several hundred dollars of Savannah
money is sent every day to Jackson
vile for liquor.
How the Savannah blind tigers and
read houses get their supplies is a
mystery to the police, but the stuff is
seized in plentiful quantities every
time the police make a raid.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but ia
live well, eat well, digest we'll, work
well, sleep well, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easily it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue nasty breath, acid stomach
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
while of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
WELL should each morning, before
breakfast drink glass of limestone
Phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleanses out all
the sour lamentations, gases, waste
and acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone d pronounc-
ed crank on the subject of internal
sanitation.
