Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form OF ashes.
80 the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount Of indigestible ma
terial, which If not completely elm
mated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bac-
terra which infest the bowels. From
this mass of leftover waste, toxins
and ptomainlike poisons are formed
and sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass OF real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
gtone phosphate in 1t to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
toxins and to keep the entire alirnen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biIiousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have q sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quar-
ter pound OF limestone phosphate
from the drug store, and begin prac-
tfcing internal sanitation. This will
cost very little, but is sufficient to
make anyone an enthusiast on the
subject.
Remember inside bathing is mora
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the sin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
poor health, while the bowel pores

DEATH CALLS
AT PENNINGTON
Sidney Kelsey, Prominent and Re-
spected Citizen Of Our Neigh
boring Town,
Stricken.

BENNINGTON, Nov. 12.-Sidney
Kelsey, OF this place, died at his home
here at 4:15 p. M, November g. He
has been more or less under affliction
for some years. This was Of a progress
sive nature, increasing in Intensity,
but to friends almost unnoticeable
until Thursday morning, November 8,
when without warning and while on
an auto trip with wife and daughters
to Wayland, Mo, he was stricken with
paralysis. They turned about and
made race against death for home
and help. Though he succeeded in
reaching home and hoped for help, he
was beyond human skill to do more
than alleviate the strike Of death that
released him.
He was born in the city Of Chicago,
Illinois, October 81, 1S49, son of Cal
vim c. and Isabelle Kelsey. His faith
er was one aIGong the first settlers in
that city, and for ten years the son
was resident there. Then, from the
age of ten to eighteen years, the
home was in Philadelphia, Pa. In 1857
Mr.. Kelsey located in Keokuk, Iowa.
January 81, 1872, he was married to
Miss Alkaline Shelton, by Rev. Bur
CESS, of keokuk, Iowa, and made their
home in Buena Vista, Iowa, until in
1850, when conditions favored their
locating at Pennington, and since
that date this has been the family
home.
He is survived by his wife, seven
children and fourteen grandchildren:
One son, Dr. C. B. Kelsey, of Bloom
ing Grove, Texas; daughters: Mrs.
William French, of Fort Madison,
Iowa; Mrs. John Hammond, of Maui

gan of Bonaparte, Iowa; Mrs. William

ed at Camp Pike at Little
Rock, 1t 10
Learned

With orders received to send 5000
men of the Eighty-eighth division to
Little Rock, Ark, division officers are
hoping that the third increment will
be ordered to report here before the
date of transfer, about two weeks OF,
says the Des Moines Register.
Unless the next increment arrives
within that period, 1t is feared the
present organizations of the division
will be split up, in order to furnish
the required number of men.
The war department has been no.
titled that the cantonment will be
ready to receive the next quota by
Nov. 10, but thus far local exemption
boards have received no instructions
to send on men.
Officers say that company spirit Is
running high in all organizations and
1t would be handicap to have part
of the men transferred south, while
others stayed here. New friends
would have to be found by those who
stay, and organizations would be
handicapped by having a small mum
Der OF old men and large quota of
raw recruits.
This would place the division in the
same position as when the first incre-
ment arrived Not enough old men
would be left to 60 with new work,
which would cause first week work
to be taken up by everyone at the
cantonment
Camp Dodge is not the only north
ern cantonment called up for men by
southern divisions. The Rockford
camp, that at Fort Riley and others
are required to furnish approximately
the same number of national army
soldiers.
Large negro population of southern
states Is responsible for transfers.
With only small percentage of white
men drafted, northern organizations
must send an additional number of
men to complete regiments being
formed.
If third increment men report here
in time to make up the 5000 draft.
they will probably be chosen by coun-
ties for transfer, as was the procedure
when the first group of men were
