Glass Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit

poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those Of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from 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,
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
Is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who Is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
1t and you are assured that you Will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly.

of the other industries Of Europe.
outside Of the war zone. have been
operating at top speed, producing the
various munitions of war. The mat
ter of repairs in these plants has been
ignored-so much so that they may
have to be completely renewed when
the war is over.
Careful students OF the conditions
in Europe declare that the business
that will come to America after the
war has ceased will be even greater
and more profitable than the war
orders. Of1cial reports show that it
will take nearly $30O,000,000 to re-
habilitate the railroads. All OF these
figures given above refer only to
France, Belgium, England and Rus
STA. No figures at all are available
from Germany or Austria. Also these
figures refer only to the rehabilita ton
of manufacturers. There has been a
vast amount Of destruction Of homes
and public works, bridges, water sup
ply systems, etc. This will require
hundreds Of millions worth of lumber,
cement. structural steel, builders
hardware and the like.
The manufacturers of Iowa should
get their share of the business.

Yegemen and Prosperity.

Davenport Times: Out In Kansas
some of the newspapers are asserting
that 1t is possible that the recent bank
statements. showing the banks of Kan.
rs bullying with money, has attracted
IN unusual rush OF yeggmen to the
rural districts. That is merely one OF
the unfortunate incidents Of pro.
sperity. There are some men who
would rather crack a safe or organize
fake corporation than settle down to
hard wark, even II the opportunities
for work are plentiful. And the trou-
be in Kansas is general-that Is the
bulging banks, not the yeggmen. AS
Z matter of fact IL is estimated that
there is more gold in the United
States today than there ever has been

the country made itself known by the
Declaration OF independence. One es-
Innate has it that the total cold In the
country is two billion dollars. Let 1t

MUST PAY FOR
LOST BAGGAGE
Limitations Provisions Ahrogated by
Cummins Amendment Which 10
Now In Force.

Any passenger whose trunk weighs
$50 pounds or less can recover 500
from the railroad company If the
trunk is lost in transit, according to
the Cummins amendment to the inter
state commerce act. The law has al
ready become effective.
The new act makes radical changes
in the provisions concerning liability
of transportation companies in the
handling of baggage, express and
freight.
The section Of the law relating to
baggage does not eliminate the right
Of the passenger to make declara-
tion of the value Of the contents OF
trunk.
The change with regard to the loss
Of live stock in transportation is rad
fcal. The new act makes the carriers
liable for the full value of ordinary
live stock, regardless of contract val
ues. The railroads also are made
liable for the full value of all other
freight, the single exception being de-
scribed as follows.
Property received for transporta.

have been or shall hereafter be ex-
pressly authorized or required by or.

Serve Eggs In Omelet.

French omelet is good way to
serve eggs when a dish that is diff
ferent is desired. The recipe recon-
mended by the home economics de-
partment of Iowa state college is to
beat four eggs slightly, just enough
to blend yofks and whites. Add to
this four tablespoonful of milk, n
teaspoonful of salt and u teaspoon
full of pepper. Put two tablespoonful
of butter in a hot omelet pan and
when it is melted, add the mixture
prepared. AS it cooks, prick and pick
I'D with fork until the whole is of
creamy consistency and firm enough
to fold. Place on a hotter part OF
the range so that it may brown quick.

Manufacturers Of This state Invited
to Conference by Greater Iowa
Association to Consider
Matters.
EXTENSION OF TRADE
Analysis Of Conditions Shows Ma
lions Must Turn to This coun-
try for Material at
Close OF the War.

The manufacturers of Iowa have
been invited by the Greater Iowa as
ISOLATION to a conference at which
will be considered the advisability OF
cooperating in the effort that the as
ISOLATION is making toward extend
ing Iowa's business in foreign, mar
kets.
In all OF the large cities Of this
country, and of the world for that
matter, there are men who act as
manufacturers repres entatives. The
great exporting houses located in all
Of our seaport cities make a very
considerable profit by acting as the
intermediary between the producer in
some other country.
The Greater Iowa association, al
ready having endeavored to interest
the live stock breeders Of Iowa in or
ganizing for a campaign to dominate
ed that If the plan is carried through
the manufacturers of Iowa might well
afford to be represented.
In other words. the industrial and
commercial conditions abroad, due to
the war, have created in the minds Of
great many Of the business men OF
Iowa the possibility of department
OF foreign trade, being conducted UNI
der the auspices Of the Greater Iowa
association. The more interests that
cooperate, the smaller would be the
proposition of expense. A business
agent from Iowa going to South
America in order to interest live stock
men in what Iowa has to offer, could
just as well give some attention to
the possibilities OF exporting a few
| Iowa-made. traction engines, or loco
motives, or cream separators. or type
setting machines, or washing ma
chimes, or any of the other of Iowa's
! most important industries.
Huge Loss Abroad.
A very careful analysis by experts,
| according to information gathered by
the Greater Iowa association, shows
that Europe's loss in crippled indus
tries alone is already in excess Of
So. 1000. 100000, and that at least ST.
! 600, 100000 will be needed at once, at
the close of the war, to replace plants
and machinery SO that Industrial activ-
| ity in the war zones may be resumed.
| The United States is the only coun-
| try prepared to fill rush orders of
this character.
The war area In France and Bel
GUM covers twenty thousand square
| miles, or nearly half the size Of Iowa;
| it is practically continuous manu-
featuring section. From Mons to Yer
v1ers the factories were so thickly
set that the chimneys have been de-
scribed as giving the appearance of
forest. The really big industries of
France were concentrated along the
German frontier. Then, over in the
eastern war zones there has been in
dustrial destruction in the vicinity of
such cities as Warsaw, LODI and
