into FIGHT -TAFT
Should Send Soldiers Over to
Show Our Good WILL
Ought to Have Million Men
to Help Allies.

Kansas City, March 30-Actual par
ticipation with the entente allies in
fighting Germany was advocated here
today by VIM. H. Taft, former pres
ident in addressing the chamber of
commerce at it's noon luncheon.
Mr.. Taft declared he believed it to
it's navy, its fighting men, its money
and it's credit at the service of the
nations at war with Germany.
IF we are going into war, we ought
to fight" he said. Under his oath
the president is bound to use the navy
and army to protect American citizens
upon the high seas.
Law Is On Our Side.
Germany has announced she will
continue lawless homicide. Are we
going to permit that" l know we are
not. Every American citizen has the
right of protection from foreign in
vasion both at home and abroad. We
are on the side of the law"
Mr.. Taft discussed the part this ma
ton should take in the European con-
flict.
"Of all the foolish thoughts. to
me-" he said, lis the idea of saying
that when three nations are carrying
have a little fight all your own. When
we find other nations fighting our
battles, we must help them.
I'VE have not million men to send
abroad-altho we ought to prepare
such an army-but we can help with
our navy and we might send some
troops over just to show our good will.
Then we can give them (the entente
allies) our money and our credits

SAYS HOT WATER
EACH DAY KEEPS
THE DOCTOR AWAY
Drink glass of hot water before
breakfast to wash out
the poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
Stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast. drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before

The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations gases

splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the

story regarding two now deceased
members of the Nevada Legislature
from Eureka County:
Already the members of the pres
ent Legislature are beginning to en-
joy the hospitality of the good peo-
pie of Carson and seems to like it.
Some of the members are getting
acquainted with a dish known as a
John Tory" 1t is claimed to be
the invention of an Italian Senator
from Eureka. who served two terms.
His colleague was Senator Foley, and
when TORY voted he always voted
on the other side of the question
from the Foley side. He claimed il
he cast his vote against Foley he wa,
dead sure to be right. Most people
agreed with him. TORY introduced
his famous dish in Carson. 1t is
decoction of minced meats, macaron
with spices. and a dash of Spanish
sometimes thrown in. If you wan
to get a members vote. throw thi
dish into him and it turns the trick
/ may not be giving the exact recipe
but it is as near as ! can come.
Foley finally got on to Torry's sys
tenn and got the best of his colleagu
by changing his vote before the re
suit was announced, as he voted be
fore TORY on the roll call. When h
did this Torry's face was a study.
Foley was finally shot and killed il

crossed the divide. Neither left an,
