It is believed that House is here>to

The president deferred for nearly two

Nothing but illness has heretofore post

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tolls why everyone should drink
HOT water with phosphate
IN It before breakfast.

Headache Of any kind, is caused by
Observation-Disclosures means SELF
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arties
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call
ed headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, fcverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
asperin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the bloed
of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in il, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tenn and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
Ialmentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for q quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for q sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
IL you aren't feeling your best, If
tongue 10 coated or you wake up with
bad taste, four breath or have colds.
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour. acid stomach, begin the phos-
plated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue TO flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.

The senate manifestly is perplexed at
Just how far Wilson proposes to go
with the implied threat of break. In
general the idea is that the threat is
club to force Germany to give her
peace terms.
Want to Know Intent
Should the club operate according to
schedule, some believe, then peace
maneuvers would have a larger chance
of success, while at the same time the
United States would avoid eontrOver-
sy on the submarine issue. But the
senate, in common with the house, does
not know exactly what Wilson wants
or what he intends to do, according to
Lodge.
For this reason. those opposed to the
administration and this opposition in
cludes apparently some democrats, de-
clare the senate ought to know just
what it is endorsing before it goes
ahead with the Hitchcock resolution.
That more republicans will attack
Ambassador Won Bernstorff as did
Senator Lodge, seemed likely, though
none had announced such purpose
openly before the senate met at noon.
The attack on Bernstorff yesterday
by Lodge, broke all precedents. Lodge s
action in naming the German ambassa-
dor personally on the senate floor in
such a debate was given all the more
significance, in view of the Bay State
senator's heretofore rigid and unbend-
ing adherence TO that bogey of bogeys
senate rules and procedure. In fact,
Lodge himself emphasized this signici-
cance when. he frankly declared he re-
allied him naming of Bernstorff was

Bad Habits

Those who breakfast at eight o clock
or later, lunch at twelve and have din
ner at six are almost certain to be trou-
bled with indigestion. They do not
allow time for one meal to digest be-
fore taking another. Not less than
five hours should elapse between
meals. If you are troubled with indi-
gestion correct your habits and take
Chamberlain S Tablets, and you may
reasonably hope for quick recovery.
These tablets strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform its functions

one of her charms, Sidney suddenly
closed the door and slipped back into
the room. r., hearing the door close,
thought she had gone, and dropped
heavily into a chair.

She began to walk with her head high

for simple white gown, she was very

life to new conditions, was graver,
more thoughtful. She was alone most

first time in her life.
Sidney, as tender as ever, had lost

her voice had deepened. Where she
