Glass Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluiees Of the system each

poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those OF us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,

cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract before

The action of limestone phosphate

out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and

In addition to the presidents op-

the recent death of his sister, Mrs.

though in many Austrian circles the

As the matter stands certain gov

meet the entente on peace pre-

failed to indicate that It would be
content with much less than shown

1t Is felt by Austrian officials that
the acceptance OF an invitation for

|BIG THRUST ALONG
SOMME Is HALTED
Berlin Critic Says Entente Has
/ Been Unable to Develop
Local Gains.
REAL GOAL NOT ATTAINED

Berlin, Nov. 20.-(By Wireless to
Sayville. 1.-The military critic OF the
Overseas News agency writes;
THE great thrust on the Somme has
come TO a standstill. Last week the
general battle was split into isolated
attacks. The small local successes OF
the enemy could not be developed, and
for the most part were nullihed by
counter attacks. The fact that for sew
eral weeks the same villages have
been mentioned again and again in
the official German reports and
those of the entente is the best proof
that the general battle on the Somme
has come to standstill, and that the
British, as we'll as the French, are
limited to improving their positions.
Although the British won small
local successes near Grandcourt and
the Germans were again driven from
Serre, the coveted heights OF Serre
remained in German hands after des-
perate battle.
Three fresh army corps were
brought up by the British for the
great attack Of November 1914, the
objective of which was not merely
Beaumont-Hamel and Beaueourt, but
Bapaume, as is proved by orders that
were received. After the failure OF
the mass thrusts, isolated attacks were
continued by the British all through
the week. These were without sue
cess, and on Saturday the British
again made an attack on both sides oil
the Ancre. s..
This new attempt to break through
our lines was failure. On the twelve
kilometer front the enemy was re,
pulsed almost everywhere and his
insignificant successes at some places
required the heaviest sacrifices. Loca
success at the bend OF the Ancre was
paid for by the British with losse.
elsewhere on the front.
"The Butte de Warlencourt, a hill
which bars the road to Bapaume
which was captured by the British
on November n, at the expense o.
enormous sacrifices, was recapturet
by the Germans on November l6. A
surprise attack was made by the Ger
mans without artillery preparation
and the opposing troops fed Onl,
two non-eommissioned officers and
seventeen men could be captured
The prisoners bore no arms. They
were Australians who were mos
weary of war and they declared thai
all the Australian troops on the
Somme front were kept up only by
the hope Of speedy relief. r.

were equally unsuccessful. Near St

FOOD CONTROL IN
ENGLAND WELCOME
ALI Classes of People Seem to
Take Well to the Idea
Being Worked Up.
WoRKMENs BEER SACRED

London, Nov. 20-No other gov
ernment action in Great Britain dur
ing the war has commanded such i'm
mediate and almost unanimous sup
port as has the decision to control
food supplies and prices. Virtually
the entire press welcomes the scheme
Almost the only criticism expressed is
that the authorities should have taken
charge OF the nations food supply
long ago.
The difficulties OF the handling such
vast and complicated problem In
country unused TO paterralistic
methods are not underestimated.
Arrangements are being made be-
tween the Board OF Trade and the
Board Of Agriculture for controlling
the prices OF stocks. The distribution
of the most important commodities,
corn, meat and potatoes, is already
partly regulated, as also Is that OF
sugar.
Considered for Post.
The most probable appointment to
the position OF food controller Is con-
sidered to be Sir George Saltmarsh,
the governments chief adviser on
corn supplies; or Baron Devonport.
chairman Of the port authority OF
London.
One Of the troublesome features of
the situation Is how to equalize mat
tiers between the rich and the poor.
On the theory of equality OF sacri-
Ace for all" which is a popular war
watchword, the newspapers are max
ing a sensation OF luxurious menus In
fashionable restaurants and homes.
The limitation OF restaurant meals to
three courses is to be discussed
Wednesday to divise economies. To
the casual observer there arc no
signs OF food shortage. The variety
and quantity Of eatables in the shops
and restaurants appears undiminished
but the big markets tell . different
story. 1t still Is possible to get q
good dinner or lunch In London
cheaper than II could be obtained In
New York before the war, The
poorer housekeepers who buy In
ANAL quantities feel the pinch, since
the general retail prices average
nearly 70 per cent higher.
The government has to deal on tbe
one hand with increased consumption
due partly to the better scale OF living
practiced by large section Of the
people getting unusual wages from
war work, and on the other hand with
decreased imports and decreased
home production,
In the meantime "the workman's
beer" remains almost sacred. Notice
has been given by small group ol
members Of the House Of Commons
that they will press fof prohibition Of

PAY PRISONERS A WAGE

The employment of Louisiana Dris.
oners upon the public roads is be
ing agitated by the New Orleans As
sociation of Commerce.
Louisiana prisoners were employ
ed with some success on the public
roads from. 1909 to 1911, but were
| withdrawn in order that their labor
might be used in building leyees to
protect lowlying lands from floods
The state has taken a progressive
attitude in regard to convict labor
the constitution prohibiting the leas-
ing of convict labor and prisoners
working upon public work and farms.
The Association of Commerce be-
lieves the road work offers special
opportunity for the prisoners In a
recent letter to the National Commit
tee on Prisons Walter Parker, the
general manager of the Association,
expresses the belief that every able
bodied man sent to the penal institu-
tions could be utilized in building and
repairing the highways. Mr.. Parker
points out that the work is far from
degrading, but on the contrary in
vests man with a feeling of self
respect and confidence which comes
to every man earning an honest liv-
ing. lie also advocates the payment
of wage for the work, in order
that the prisoner may contribute
to the support of his family.
The National Committee on Pris-
ons believes that road work when |
rightly developed as an industry in |
which prisoners can be worked for
wage with great success. If the
road work will be developed under a
state highway commission which
hires the labor of the prisoners from
the state prison department and pays |
to the department what It would pay |
for similar free labor, the payment .
of wage becomes practicable.
In Iowa prisoners are paid a
straight wage and pay for their board
and lodging; the balance may be
sent to their dcpendants if they de
sire Under the system suggested
above the road work can be develop
ed even more effectively.
The National Committee on Pris-
ons welcomes the agitation in Louis
lana and trusts that state will be
The next to organize convict road
work on a right basis and with an
adequate wage to the prisoner.

ing upon the price of one commodity
ia the markets of the world.
Henry W. Grady, of Georgia, spoke
these words:
"No one crop will make a people
prosperous If cotton holds the
monopoly under conditions that make
other crops impossible, or under al
lurements that make other crops ex-
ceptional its dominations will be
despoti-m. Whenever the greed for
a money crop unbalances the wisdom
Of husbandry, the money crop is a
curse. When it stimulates the gen
Cral economy Of the farm, it is the
profit of farming.
"To raise cotton and senl its
princely revenue to the West for sup.
plies, and to the East for usuary,
would be misfortune if soil and eli
mate forced such course. v
both invite independence, to remain
in slavery is a crime. To mortgage
our farms in Boston for money vh
which to buy meat and bread firm
Western cribs is folly"

INVESTIGATION NOT
UNDERSTOOD

There are many who do not apply
the correct meaning to the term
"diverSifiCatiOn' as il applies To
farming. There have been many and
varied expressions given by differ.
ent ones as their idea of "diversifica.
ton" Some think that ii means
quit raising cotton. others, that it
means 10 change to some other crop.
One man In Louisiana said that he
believed in "diyersification" so he
quit planting cane and planted 500
acres of tomatoes.
DIR. Bradford Knapp, Chief of Ex-
tension Work in the South, says:
by diversiiication we mean an ag-
ricultural system through which the
living Of the people upon the farm
is fist produced, and then a number
of products suited to the soil. the
climate and the market conditions
of the country are judiciously Sc
lected and make the main items of
profit through sale in the great
markets of the world, always keep
ing mind the necessity of maintain
ing the fertility of the soil"
One Of the great reasons why the
farmers Of the South have not be
come rich and prosperous is because
the system of farming has been
against them While the crop pro-
dsred in the South has greater
value per acre than the value of the
crop produced per acre in the rich
agricultural Northwest, the southern
farmers are less prosperous, COM
paratively speaking, than their north
orn ncighbOrs The trouble is that
cotton is not generally a cash crop;
1t is the living crop of the majority
of the farmers in cotton territory.
They have been farming on an un.
certain. speculative system, depend.
