through.

A DREADFUL MENACE

Albion Dare was contented and
happy man. He had been brought
up on farm yielding a comfortable
living. He had won Minna Royce,
belle of Bayview, for his bride, and
now there was a 2-year old little
cherub, Norman, to fill the Vine-em-
powered cottage with animation all
day long.
Then came a new run of what his
friends called luck. He was made
town marshal. John Rush, his pre-
decessOr, had become old and slow in
his methods. They needed a young
er man to rule the police destinies of
Bayview. Not that the duties Of
marshal at the well-ordered little
village were at all active, OneroUs or
perilous, but there was civic pride
in keeping the township clear OF
tramps and criminals.
"AIl this suits me pretty well, Min
na," said Albion to his wife. cts a
$500 salary dropped right into my
lap. 1t won't Interfere with me con-
tinuing to run the store"
But suppose you have to battlls
with bandits, arrest burglars and
capture murderers" voiced Minna
awesOmely.
Then, slight as he was in build,
mild and inoffensive as he was in his
talk and manners, Albion smiled
quietly and replied:
'T1 try moral suasion, dear and
if that fails why" and he exhibited
the handle of a big revolver in his
hip pocket. g..
ooh, how brave and fearless you
are" breathed Minna, but she shud-
dered at the sight of the gruesome
weapon. Have you written Uncle
Ben. about your getting ahead?"

although he hasn't paid much atten-

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poIsons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or duh your head; no consti-
patton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid
stomach, you must battle on the in
side like you battle outside. This is
vastly more important, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, while the bowel pores
do, says welI-known physician.
To keep these pcisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day a glass Of hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn OF these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
cumulation Of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it upi
As soap and hot water act on the
skin, cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying, so limestone phosphate and hot
water before breakfast, act on the
stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE.
Experience,

1t was a crowded and well satisfied
house that saw the opening perform
ance of Experience, the great morality
comedy drama, at the Davis theatre
on Monday night. This is the first
time that this play has ever been pro-
duced in Norwich and it met decided
favor in the eyes of the large audi
ence. Practically every seat in the
house was taken and the boxes were
well filed.
Each act was divided into a number
Of scenes depicting the various events
and happenings in the life of Youth
who left his country home and loved
ones to seek a fortune in theSbig city.
From the gambling table he went out
into the world penniless, poverty
staring him in the face and departed
rapidly taking possession of him. His
former friends passed him by unno-
ticed and he was left alone with Ex-
perience who ever stuck by him. Work
beckoned and he needed the CALL but
it was discouraging for no one wanted
to give him a chance: they wanted
service, results. In the depths OF
despair with Poverty haunting him at
every turn, he listened to the call of
Delusfon. who tempted him with drugs
and then crime beckoned him on and
on. In the street OF forgotten days
he heard voice and then the miracle
happened-the memory of mothers
love halted his footsteps and he turn
ed backs to This phome where love
