after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system

mentations and poisonous toxins be-
fore it is obsorbed into the blood
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom'
bustible material in the form OF
ashes, so the food and drink taken
each day leave in the alimentary
organs certain amount of indlges-
tible material, which if not e.inni-
mated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which
are intended to suck in only nour-
ishment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to
see your skin get clearer, and
clearer, you are told to drink every
morning upon arising, a glass OF
hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, which is
a harmless means of washings the
waste material and toxins from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
thus cleansing, sweetening and purl-
flying the entire alimentary tract
before putting more food into the

A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to dem

water and limestone phosphate act
on the inside organs. We must al

Millions of men and women take
a Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy

the bowels. Then you will feel

A Cascaret tonight straightens

CAMP DEWEY CADETS
 ARE SOMEWHAT UNRULY
Poquonnoc Will Long Remember Their Visit and Will be Ready for Them When They Come Back.

There have been a number of com plaints about the depreda tions of the Camp Dewey Cadets at Kitemaug. The majority of these complaints come from the Kitemaug and Gales Ferry sections. This week when some three hundred of the naval cadets marched through Groton and Poquon- noe enroute to Providence and Bos- ton. they left behind them trail of destruction that will long be remem- bered by the residents of that section of the county. In regard to this in vasion of property and orchards the New London Day says:
 Residents of the borough were deeply intereated yesterday in the Camp Dewey cadets who marched through here 300 strong and the in terest has not died out vet as in stances of the depredations along the line come in frequently.
 At one place in Poquonoc the gar den is said to be practically ruined. It is reported that one of the officers man of the house for some water Having outside well and plenty of good drinking water she gave him pail and permission to take all the water the boys required. They did and they extended the invitation to cover everything else in sight. They overran the garden. tore up about one-third of the stuff and trampled down another third. They swarrned into the apple trees and shook down what apples there were. Many of them were unfit to eat al this time but the boys did not heed such a small matter, they shook them down just the same.
 Another house was visited where the milk was hanging down the well to keep cool. This was taken. One of the women demonstrated with them about the destruction of her property but they laughed at her. About half an onion bed was torn up and that in spite of the fact that when they Atn each had a sandwich and an onion Poquonoc will long remember the wis it of the Camp Dewey cadets and will be ready for them when they come back from their hike

HIS FOOT CRUSHED
 UNDER FREIGHT TRAIN
Sixteen Year Old New London Boy
 Found Beside Tracks.

George Sullivan of 40 Warren street. New London, 16 years old, had his right foot crushed under a freight train in the rear of the custom house in New London shortly after 6 o'clock Tuesday night He was removed to the Lawrence hospital, where his foot was amputated later.
 Railroad officials did not know the exact circumst of the accident. It is thought that Sullivan was at tempting to board the freight when he was thrown to the track and the train passed over his right foot, crushing it.. A member of the train crew near the rear of the train saw the boy lying beside the track and gave the signal for the train to stop. Employees of the custom house sum moned the ambulance.
 The injured boy was rushed to the Lawrence hospital, where it was found that 1t would be impossible to save the foot and later 1t was taken off just above the ankle. The freight which injured Sullivan was an extra west bound train.
 Sullivan is a son of John Sullivan, yard foreman for the F. Fl. & A. H. Chappell Co, and was employed at the New London Ship and Engine Co.

the history of the Jamestown church. Many new members have been re-. ceived and there has been substantial progress in all the departments of the church and Sunday school.
 MT. Purlxiss has also taken a promi- nent part in civic work in Jamestown since going there three years ago. He was one of the leaders in the movement committee of one hhndred and took an active interest in the meetings of the committee last winter when the com mission manager charter was drafted.
 Rev. Arthur F. Purkiss was born at Lexington, Mich., on Dec. 4, 1872, but spent his boyhood at Port Huron, Mich. After completing his preliminary edu- cation, he entered Kalamazoo college, from which he was graduated. He then took a course in the Divinity school of the Chicago university. His first charge was at Green Bay, lFWis. He was married in that city and remained only a snort time, when he was called to the First Baptist church at Sharon, Pa. He remained at sharon for four years and was then called to the First Baptist church al Elgin H.. where he had beeh for six years before going to Jamestown.
 MT. Purkiss as pastor of the James town church, the Jamestown Morning Post says editoria1ly:
 There will be surprise ana regret in
 
 the esisnation of it's pastor, Rev Ar -hur F. PurkiSs, who has accepted a all to the Central Baptist church of Norwich. Conn. In a brief pastorate Of jess than three years. Mir. Purliss las not only won for himself the re- spect and affection of his own church but has become one of the leaders in the civic affairs of this community. He IS an earnest and forceful preacher and 1as had large congre cations. whether in tTx theatre or in the new church which took the place of the one that burned just before he came here. He is active n his pastoral work and has impressed all who knew him as a real man, con- secrated to his work and free of any sham or pretense.
 Rev. Mir Purl<iss early identified him self with the progressive forces of this tity- He has labored for better schools and for a more efficient city govern 1lent as member of the committee of 9ne hundred His voice was raised against the oifenses of the common council last year and he has coura ge-. )usly advocated candidates for public office who would carry out real re- 'orms. His advice has been sought in nany public movements and he can always be depended upon to take the side of the people against any of the influences that so easily swerve weaker men from the accomplishments of high civic purposes. Such a man is a loss 70 any city, and especially to James, own in this period of transition.
 The church to which he goes is said 70 be a strong one, with it's men well organized for work. Sr1h churches are treat agencies for good in the world and such pastors as Arthur F. Purkiss are towers of st-~plgth because they gre true to the Master. exempIifying he democracy of His teachings and he purity of His life.

 Sunday in All That Time.

Frederick F. Nowatsky will today observe the 30th anniversary of his entrance into business as a newsdeaIer
 MT. Nowatsky has established a rec ord that will be hard to equal for he has delivered Sunday papers for thirty years without missing a Sunday. After passing a season as newsboy On the Block Island, MT. Nowatsky on August r, 1887 started in business with nineteen papers. soliciting GUS toners from his fathers barber shop at 162 Main street over the Ciculating Library John POrteOus of the Porte ous and Mitchell Company was one of being supplied papers by MT. Nowat- sky. In that year Mir. Nowatsky start cd a daily route.
 Mir Nowatsky built up the route and soon had the agency for the pa pers, supplying the other newsdealers with them. First he had a route on She West Side, Washington street, and Franklin street, but later he exchang- I'd with his father, Ferdinand Nowat- sky and took the Falls in addition to he West Side
 He carried his papers in a large duck strap over his shoulder but they in creased so fast that he had to carry t bundle in either hand. Later he got a push cart and starting out at 7.30 in the morning .(Sundays) arrived back home at in the afternoon. He aft erward secured a wagon and now de- flyers by auto.
 In 1890 his father started a store back of the fence where the Shannon Building now stands. His father aft erwards had a store in the Shannon Building. From there he moved to 162 Main street and then to the car station on the square and when the changes were made in that building some months ago he moved across the street, where he is now located.
 Twenty years ago the New York Sunday papers didn't arrived here un- til noon time and then Mir. -Nowatsky senior went to Hartford for them every weekend. He had to make three changes of teams and arrived in Nor wich with the papers about noon. The Sunday papers then sold for ten cents. Later they went down to five. then up to seven and today sell for eight. MT. NoWatsky junior has run his daily route for fifteen years and he has the largest Sunday route in the city.
 During the winter of 1888, MT. No watsky had a Bulletin route over Jail Hill. At the time of the great blizzard the out of town daily papers that should have reached here on a Monday morning didn't arrive until the fol- lowing Friday night at o'clock.
