reel drama produced by Lucjus Hem
derson shows Mary Fuller at her
best. In plot where love and hate
and mistaken identity all are import

quiet note of innocence and repose.
This is exactly what Mary can do

Mary Fuller has won her place,
not by the many stunts she has per-

shes does not very often attempt this

the fact that in the movies Mary is
her own sweet self, and being that. no
one could help but admire her. She

BEGIN HOT WAITER DRHNlK[NG IF YOU DON'T FEEl. RIGHT Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

If you wake up with a bad taste, your head is dull Or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach, or you are bilious, consti- pated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bath ing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, swecten and purify tho entire alim entary tract. Do your in side bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the sys- tenn all the previous days poisonous waste gases and sour bile before put ting more food into the stomach.
 TO feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body i'm purities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost taste less, except for sourish twinge which is not unpleasant.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and lime stone phosphate act on the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels Men and women who are usually consttpated, bilious. headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bath ino before breakfast. They are assured thev will become real cranks on the subject shortly.

Method of Estimating Made With
 Close Degree of Accuracy.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The method of estimating the size of the country's farm crops has been so improved and systematized that the actual produc- tion of important products is now made with close degree of accur- acy by the bureau of crop estimates of the United States department of agriculture. Nearly two million schedules are handled each year by that bureau in making up the gov ernment monthly crop reports. About one hundred and sixty thousand names are constantly making personal investigations, one agent covering state; and 1O5 clerks are employed in Washington handling the large num- Der of reports from the voluntary crop reporters and to keep records of crop information of this and foreign countries.
 So carefully and systematically has the work been organized that the 1915 cotton crop estimate was only three tenths of one per cent. less than the amount actually ginned as reported by the census bureau after the close of the season.

How This Little Orphan Boy Was
 Cured

How This Little Orphan Boy Was
 Cured.
 We want the people of New Britain to know that all letters like the fol- lowing are truthful and genuine:-
 Towanda, Pa. 1T took a little or phan boy to live with me and last Christmas he contracted a hard cold which developed into bronchitis. He was very ill and a bad cough set in so that he coughed night and day. After trying everything, nothing seemed to do him any good, until along in February I got a bottle of Vinol After using half the bottle his cough began to improve, and two bottles entirely cured his bronchitis and he gained in weight so that he doesn't look like the same child" Harry A. Stephenson, Towanda, Pa.
 The reason that cough syrups fail in such cases is because they are palliative only, while Vinol removes the cause being a constitutional rem edy in which are combined beef and cod liver peptones, iron and man. ganese peptonates and glycerophos phates. It strengthens and revitalizes the entire system and assists nature to expel the disease.

says that with slight additional in creases over the 264 guns proposed to be added to the coast defenses in the program approved by congress last year, the coast defenses will be able to meet successfully any attack that can reasonably be expected to be made upon them or upon the cities. harbors or interests that they guard by the most powerful warships af1oat or at present projected.'
 General Weaver points out, how ever, that national guard units of the corps are 166 officers and 6,469 men short of their prescribed complement. The coast states of New Jersey Della ware, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas, he says, have raised no troops for this service.
 Judge Advocated General Crowder in his report, also made public, reviews desertion records for eight years back to show that the 1916 figure was the lowest during that time. The true percentage was 1.81. he says, al- though the reported figure was 2.4. The lowest previous record was 1.93 in 1911.

fact that strenuous recruiting cam paigns for both the regulars and guardsmen have produced negligible results, General Scott says:
 "In my judgment the country will never be prepared for defense until we do as other great nations do that have large interests to guard, like Ger many, Japan and France where everybody is ready and does perform military service in time of peace as he would pay every other tax, and Is willing to make sacrifices for the pro- lection he gets and the country gets in return. There is no reason why defend or be trained to defend an other woman and her son who refuses to take training or give service. The only democratic method is for every man in his youth to become trained ir order that he may render efficient service if called upon in war"
 Defense Act Inadequate.
 Taking un the question of the Ma. tional Guard in it's federal status General Scott declares the training period of 75 days in three years pro. vided by the new national defense ac1 is wholly inadequate.
 'In my judgment" he says, 'it pre- cludes this force from being made if for war service until it has received

Many Deaf to Call.

General Scott gives at length statis- tics on the National Guard mobillza- tiOn available when his report was written September 30. He shows that in eleven states with 16,600 enrolled guardsmen at the time of the call, more than ten per cent. failed to re- spOnd and twenty-nine per cent. of the remainder could not pass required physical tests, making the force for ty-three per cent raw recruits when 1t went to the border. Brought up to war strength, he says, the force would have been seventy five per cent. green men and useless for war purposes for many months.
 '"These figures probably hold good for the entire body of the National Guard" the report adds.
 An aggregate force of 151,096 off, cers and men of the guard were mus tered into the federal service under the call and about 110,957 were on the border 8 month and a half after the call was issued. The general com- mends highly the efficiency of the railroads in handling the mobilization.
 Turning to recruiting in the regu- lar army. the report says that the service was 29,130 short of it's au- thorized strength on August 31 last. Between March 15 when congress au- thorized bringing the army up to war strength by adding 10000 men and August 31, only 8,463 additional men were enrolled.

at least six months additional train ing in time of war,
 The report reiterates the opinion that it takes a, year of intensive train ing to make a soldier and adds that the country and congress appear to have a vital misconception of the facts, in this regard. Unless the fed eralized guard which congress substi- tuted for the citizen volunteer army advocated by the general staff can be given greater training, General Scott says, the country faces serious situation.
 And it is very doubtful" he con- tinues, eff we will be able to do so and keep the force recruited The 1 difficulty that is now being experi- enced in obtaining recruits for the 1 regular army and for the National 1 Guard in service on the border, , raises sharply the question of wheth- CT we will be.able to recruit the troops authorized in the national defense 1 act"
 In spite of the fact that the pre- l paredness agitation stimulated inter est while the effort now being made to bring the border forces up to war strength, General Scott asserts, three months Of recruiting left many na- t1onal guard units still below mini mum strength. Every effort was made to get the men, he says, a house-to- | house canvass being conducted in l some sections

and there was a gentle glow in the
eyes of the advocate, that your

Burton stood rooted with amaze
