full part in a city where there is a need for housing emergency crowds. It has been convention hall, pure food hall. a dog show, and a capacious vaudeville show room. Now it is going to rattle with the click of the skater. Mir. J H.. Edmundson says he will have ample room for big skate and the small boy at the Orpheum, and that he intends to popular ize the place with orderly conduct and his personal supervision. When Birming- ham had a skating rink there were some beautiful entertainments given, and skating was as graceful as dancing, and the crowds proved their appreciation of the sport. The opening of another rink will be the means of keeping lot of racket off the streets, and the oppor- tunity to be trained to the skilled use of the skate will save many broken bones or bruised bodies.
 In a city there is lot of inactivity of the muscles, many find no pleasure in just walking around, and little fun in work where it takes thought with effort. The exercise that throws off care and the burden of thought, the world loves, and skating is a profitable spring fad.

CULTURE

Culture is the faculty of reading
books with appeal just as much when
perused from the last page to the be.
ginning.
1t is the ability, in man, to wear
delicate whiskers and talk indetermin-
ate things about incomprehensib,e
topics.
In a woman it is the ability to weai
flowing garments and speak softly and
knowingly about airy Symptoms of liz
eplicable impossibilities.
The great charm about this kind OF
culture is that neither the talker nor
the talkee need bother to try to un
derstand what is said.
Yet both are benefited, for each
feels himself or herself understood at
last.
Culture, therefore, is bestowed upon
people in the proportions each is best
able to carry.
The common or garden variety o.
culture, which has to do with a gentle
regard for the thoughts, opinions and
wishes of others, and with an ordinary
enjoyment of the human side of books.

too easily attained to be of interest tc

culture.-From Judge.

WHEN YOU WAKE

OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from

food into stomach.
Says inside-bathing makes any

sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before

This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing Illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
takes into the stomach. nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal befor putting more food into

A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men

TO THE VOTERS

At the coming election, April 3, 1916,
will be candidate for Mayor and in
asking your support wish to give you
some reasons for my candidacy.
Our city pays out every year in taxes
over $3200.00 for salaries, exclusive Of
street cleaning or repair or water
works extension and repair, of this sum
the Mayor receives $400 and each COM
missioner $500. Il is my opinion that
these salaries should be reduced to $50
each and if it is necessary to do this by
vote of the people will at my earliest
opportunity use my best efforts to word
placing the matter before them for their
consideration.
am also of the opinion that some of
the appointers offices are receiving
more salary than is necessary to be
paid for the work, they are doing and
that saving can be made the tax payer
on that line also.
Ii elected will conduct the affairs of
the office on strictly business basis
and will endeavor to get one hundred
cents worth of labor or material for
every dollar of the city's money that is
expended.
Respectfully,
HUGH w. DICKEN.
