THE RAIDS ON ENGLAND.

The outrage committed by German air
men Friday night against civilian popu.
lation of England cannot, perhaps, in
crease the enlistment of troops as those
raids were won't to do before the days
of CONSUMPTION, but it will serve to
strengthen the will and determination OF
| England and all her allies, as well as a
large part of the neutral world remain
ing, to continue the legitimate warfare
against Germany until successful issue
=, for the allies has been gained. Then they
will be able to treat the German gov
eminent in the only manner which its
acts merit. One undoubted effect of the
killing and injuring of $50 civilians in
that raid on defenscess towns has been
to solidify the conviction in the United
are needed on the part of the government
at Washington to bring the German gov
eminent to its senses. Every act of that
nature will have tendency to spur the
Washington government on to extra
ordinary provisions for carrying on war
against Germany on an increased scale,
for those acts reveal that the blood
crazed ruler of the empire will stop short
of nothing to gain his ends and that
sooner or later he will direct his most
severe agencies against the United States
If not rendered hors de combat during
the present struggle. The kaiser has
used about every means, civilized and
unciyilized, to gain the advantage over
his enemies, showing the unscrupulous
nature of the man who claims to rule by
divine right" The air attacks ON wom-
en- and children is but one indication of
that nature The kaiser must be beaten,
and beaten now.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Vermont Philanthropist.

In the death of Ira G. Calef, aged 80
at Washington, this state, a well known
retired financier and the benefactor OF
many institutions in Vermont, Massa,
chusetts and Rhode Island, has passed
Mr. Calef's biography is the story OF a
typical Vermonter, who overcame many
obstacles in reaching a position of af-
fuence among the business men of two
generations. In the past two years his
benefactions have aggregated 100000,
much of the money going to deserving
institutions not conducted for profit. De-
spite the continual accumulation of
financial cares, Mr.. Calef did not neglect
the more human side of his relations to
society and whoever knew him was in
variably attracted by his genial DISPOSE
ton and hearty manner.-Rutland News.

no exemption for persons in such posi-

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In it before breakfast.

Headache of any kind. is caused by
auto-intoxica tion-which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
thru the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call
ed headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide.
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood
of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with A teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your
system and cure you of headache but
will cleanse, purify and freshen the
entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for quarter
pound if limestone phosphate 1t is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sourish
twipge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
had taste, foul breath or have colds.
Indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour. acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated 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.-AdVer-
tisement.

Rural Kansas Teachers Work Is in

Prof. NJ. G.. kirkpatrick, superin-
tendent of schools at Belleville, Kan,
and formerly connected with the ex-
tension department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, who is at
tending the teachers convention here
! this week, is being congratulated by
his many friends upon the success
of book he has published which is

and which has placed Kansas authors
in an entirely new field.
The book is entitled THE Rural
School From Within" and in it Pro-
fessor Kirkpatrick gives his own ex-
perience as a rural school teacher and
to face and the many mistakes he has
made. The book is made interesting
by being written in story form, altho
it takes up a broad range of rural
subjects and touches on the many
problems that face the people living
in the country.
Among the interesting features IS
the experience of a boy who left the
farm for the glitter and glare of the
c:ty's opportunities and who, after a
bitter experience trodding the con-
crete, returned to the country to find
real happiness. Following this is a
suggestion as to how the rural com
munities can prevent migration of

giant cartridges are missing.
The cartridges are about two feet

a blunt nose and a small round hole
straight thru-the center from end to

QUEER MILLIONAIRE
IS CHAS. F. RUGCLES
AGED 80, DOES OWN MARKET.
ING AND COOKING. NINE MIL.
LION DOLLAR CASH DEAL.

Charles F. Ruggles, wealthiest res
ident of Manistee, Mich, and proba-
bly, one of the richest lumbermen in
the state, also is one of the most &C.
centric characters in the United
States. He is 80 years of age and
his fortune is estimated at nearly
$60,000,000. Each m0rning at 9
o'clock the sturdy old gentleman
leaves his "ofice," small, old fash
Toned frame building on the busiest
corner of the town, in his shirt
sleeves-a flannel shirt at that-and
goes to market. Over his shoulder is
bag for vegetables and in his hand
can for milk. He buys only after
assuring himself that his purchases
are being made at bargain prices,
then he repairs to his home where he
cooks the food according to original
methods.
Mr.. Ruggles has no relatives, at
least, if there are any none but him
self knows of them. He has never
married, has no business associates.
and has contracted very few enduring
friendships. His brusque front drives
men and women alike from his COM
pany, but he will talk to anybody
who will listen, excepting for publica-
ton. @
Some of His Novel Stunts.
Mr.. Ruggles is not liberal con-
tributor to organized charity, but
left to his own devices he has spent
much money on the public. A drink
ing fountain in front of his home
testifies to his hostility to John Bar
leycorn. His basement is a public
bathhouse with hot and cold water,
and in Chicago he has established
public bath.
For number of years Mr.. Rug
giles gave undertaking to children,
but his name never was associated
with the giving. Then he established
the custom of providing candy for
boys and girls in Manistee. In the
fall he would hire the candymaker
ana nave the goods ready for dis
tribution on Christmas.
Mr.. Ruggles was born in Naples,
Me-, in 1887, and settled in Manistee
80 years later. Little ever is heard
of him, excepting in lumber deals.
On one occasion he went West and
astOnished the financial world by
closing a $9,000,O0O mining deal on
cash basis, checking the money
from Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit
banks.
Faithful employees have been re-
warded by Mr.. Ruggles for their fidel-
ity. John Rademacher, bookkeeper
for 20 years, recently was given
and others have received
large gifts at various times.

Mrs. Dozier is an enthusiastic

Mr.. Walter S. Dozier, clerk of the
superior and city courts of Terrell
county, was born in Warren county,
Georgia, on March 6, 1857, but came
to Terrell county with his father, Mr..
N. W. Dozier, in 1872. On July rs,
1873, he was married to Miss Susie
Geise in this county. In the year
1893 Mr.. Dozier was elected to the
office of clerk of the superior court,
which position he has held continu-
ously since he first went into the of
flee, period of "a years, during
which time he has served the people
OF Terrell county faithfully and well.
1t is safe to say that there is no
more efficient clerk in the state. He
is clever, painstaking and accurate.
Many of the old records have been
re-indexed and brought down to date,
and in his Office he is now using the
Colt index system of filing, which is
considered the best system yet devils
ed for this important work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dozier are the faith
er and mother of seven grown chill
dren. Both are members of the Meth
odist church, which Mr.. Dozier be-
came a member of when child. Mr..
