BEGIN HOT WAITER DRINMING IF YOU DON'T FEEL RIGMT Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

1T you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue Is coated; if your head is dull or aching: if what you eat isours and forms gas and acid in stom- lach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, Eicneys and bowels and cleanse sweeten and purify the entire alimen- tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm medate]y upon arising in the morning 10 wash out of the system all the pre- vious days poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach.
 To feel like young folks feel like you felt before your blood. nerves and muscles became loaded with body im- purities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost taste hess, except for a sourish twinge which lis not unpleasant.
 Just as soap and hot water act on lthe skin, cleansing, sweetening and Ifreshening, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach. liver, Kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, theadachy or have any stomach dis order should begin this inside bathing before breakfast. They are assured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly.-Adv.

What You Would Expect
,m Pearson's Weekly.

From PearSon's Weekly
 In spite CT the Kaiser's illness, he is still as botrbastic as ever, and ap- parently nothing will ever cure him of his egotism.
 The chief Huns love of bullying oth- CTS was inherent in him long before the war and King Georges eyes were opened to his true nature by remark he made many years ago.
 The Kaiser has habit of pulling one of his cars when he is vexed about anything, and once when he was on a visit to our present King, who was then duke of york. he pulled his ear continually.
 At last, one of the Kings son. who had been watching the imperial guest for sometime, could stand it no longer, and bluntly said:
 Why do you pull your ear2'
 Because | am annoyed replied the Kaiser
 And when you are very much an moved. what do you do then2' contin- ued the prince
 "why. then" said the Kaiser sharply. q pull someone else's ear"

Mir. and Mrs. Vernon Castle in mo- ton pictures will be at the Alcazar theatre for three days beginning Tues day, according to the important an nouncement of Manager $. S. Griffin yesterday. "Fhe Whirl of Life" a spe- cial five-part production, is the film vehicle of the Vernon Castles and ad- vanced criticisms speak we'll Of the production.
 If they appeared in person there is no telling what the price of seats would be, but through the medium of motion pictures the local movie pub lie will be able to see them at very reasonable admission fee. "The Whirl of Life" is a stupendous production, based on the actual experiences of the famous Vernon Castles and showing to the thousands of their admirers who have never seen them, their life his as a chorus boy in New York six years ago, earning the salary of s25 a week, was by accident intro duced to Miss Irene Foote (Mrs Yer non Castle), a wealthy society girl, who, despite her fathers objection to her marrying a man "whose brains were in his feet, eloped with Vernon to Paris when they won fame and fortune by hard luck in a night.
 Later on they returned to America and started the vogue for dancing. They are now independently wealthy and their appearance in moving pie lures is only to perpetuate their art.

Irish Repartee

From Pearson's Weekly
 Sir Robert Finlay, M. F.. the famous lawyer, and former solicitor general. has been speaking vigorously in the House of Commons on the advisa bility of making food contraband as well as articles of war, as far as Germany is concerned.
 Sir l.opert Was once in Ireland when he met an Irish droyer with a num- Der of, cattle going along a country road
 Where are you going tor" he Tn : quired of the son of Erin.

 Indeed? And how much do you ex- pect to get for the animals?" asked Sir Robert.
 Sure. an if get eight pounds each. shall not do badly" answered Pat.
 "Ah, that's sample of your coun- try!" said Sir Robert. Now, if you would take them to England you would average IA pounds each"
 The Irishman, knowing full well that he could not afford the journey to England, and feeling a trifle hurt at the implied poverty of his native land, looked indignant for a moment, but suddenly his face brightened.
 "Just so, yer honor" he retorted, "and if yez was to take the Lakes of Killarney to purgatory yez would get guinea a drop for them"

Forts on Rails

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Railroads can mount 12, IA and 16-inch guns for defense through a new inven- ton patented by Laurence w. Luellen. which makes it possible to protect with heavy mortars and guns our inland cities and 5000 miles of coast line, instead of the 300 miles now protected by fixed fortifica- tions.
 Heavy guns are permanently mounted on especially constructed railway cars which are to be quickly locked on solid concrete foundations for instant use, to secure accuracy and rapidity of fire con- trol. These mobile armament cars are designed to utilize the present coast and inland railways to protect our seaboard, thus increasing the flexibility and stra- tegic value of high-power guns such as are now mounted on fixed foundations.
 Mr. Luellen would install at fixed ronts along existing railroads or at de- sirable strategic points, suitable concrete foundations, from which the highest pow cred guns may be fired. A specially designed car will permanently mount high powered guns which may thus be swiftly transported to the point of at tack, located on the foundations and brought into action.
 Should the enemy locate and obtain the range of one of the mobile batteries, the car can be quickly unlocked and moved to another location.
 
 coasts are so located that ample gun foundation could be placed on spurs or side tracks so that any boat attempting to land must come within range of any desired number of guns. By properly grouping the concrete bases and placing 140 of them on the coast line mentioned, no landing party could reach the shores without coming within the deadly nine mile range of six mortars. These concrete bases would cost ap- proximately $300O to S4000 each--total cost of 140 bases, including labor about $500,- GOO.
 The mortar armament cars should be located at stations along the coast, where, upon an hours notice. several of them could be moved into position for action.
 It is estimated that to cover this shore line would require in the neighborhood of 50 mortars and 10 rifle armament cars This would mean that there would be 11O guns on mobile car equipment with total outlay (estimated the car and guns to cost $15o,0OO) about $9.O00,000, the cost of enc modern battleship.

DEMOCRATIC PARADE SUGGESTIONS.

4XJILMINGTON Democrats preparing for great
w post-eecon jubilee They are entitled it, both
on the national and the State results. While all loyal
Delaware Republicans regret that events give warrant
for Democratic jubation, they liberal enough to
concede that the Democrats have a ght to be happy
and make public demonstration OF their happiness.
In addition they cheerfully share the Democratic
hope that fair weather will prevail next Monday
night 10 the end that the celebration shall not be
marred.
In view Of the fact that the Delaware Democrats
owe whatever they in Delaware on last Tuesday
week TO the direct and indirect aid Of certain cabal
that set out to wreck the Republican party we have
several suggestions to make the committee that is
arranging for the Democratic parade. They
That Alfred l. DUPONT, who conceived and financed
the scheme to wreck the Republican party and to
the Democratic party control in this State be
made grand marshal.
That Dr. Hiram r. Burton who for United
States Senator the Party Wreckers ticket for the
express purpose OF defeat ng Colonel Henry A. DUPONT
the Republican candidate. and electing Josiah o. VOL
colt the Democratic candidate, be made Alfred du-
Points chief aide with the IN ry-eght voters in Bur
toms home district who voted for him serving as
guard Of dishonor
That Edward G. Bradford, Jr., Party Wreckers can
d date for Representative in Congress whose cand-
dacy defeated Thomas w. Miller the Republican can
didate elected Alfred f. Polk the Democratic can
ddate be made marshal of the first division with J..
Frank Alice, Frank Han Davis and Benjamin A.
Groves as his aides
That Dan" Layton head the second division with
"sam" Burris and DOL" Short his aides.
by looking over the field the members OF the Demo-
cratic parade committee doubtless will be able to
discover other Republican party wreckers who de-
serve Democratic recognition in this time of iubna-
ton Our object is not to supply the details but merely
to offer few leading suggestions which will give 10
The more prominent party wreckers their proper place
at the right Of the Democratic line. They certainly
have earned that distinction in view Of what they have
done, by third-ticket process and methods
direct to make the Democratic parade possible
