President Of Cuba
Is Gaining Over Rebels

Havana, Cuba, Feb. 15.-President
Menoeal s government forces are grad
ually gaining control over the rebel
and dispatches from the var
ious parts OF the island today indicated
only desolutory rioting, with the mutt
neers nowhere making a stand. Criente
province now appears to be the only
center in the island where there is any
concerted organization among the reb-
els. Government forces were being con
centrated today for the dispersal of the
rebels in this section.
By provinces, officials reports today
showed these developments:
Pinar Del Rio-last of the rebel de-
taehment scattered.
Havana government troops
in hot pursuit of small band of reb-
els after killing several in a skirmish
Santa Clara rovince-elections were
held no disorder and everything re-
ported quiet They showed a great ma
ority for President Menocal and against
the liberals behind the present revolt.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean. sweet
and fresh inside. and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals
sour and turn into gas and acids, you
have a real surprise awaiting you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately up
on arising, drink a GLASS of hot water
with teaspoontul of limestone phos-
phate in it. This is intended to first
neutralize and then wash out of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
of intestines all the indigestible waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, eweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headache, back
ache, bilious attacks, constipation or
any form of stomach trouble, are urged
to get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store and be-
gin enjoying this morning inside bath.
1t is said that men and women who try
this become enthusiastic and keep it up
daily. 1t is a splendid health measure
for it is more important to keep clean
and pure on the inside than on the out
side. because the skin pores do not ab-
sorb impurities into the blood, causing
disease, Whfle the boWel pores uo.
The principle of bathing inside is not
new, as millions of people practice 1t.
Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
pudify and freshen the skin, so hot wa
ter and teaspoonful of limestone phos
phate act on the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels. Limestone phosphate
is an Inexpensive white powder and al
most tasteless.

BASEBALL WAR MAY
BREAK OUT AGAIN
Ban JOhnsOn'S Insistence On
Disciplining John Henry
May Start 1t
By H. C. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff c0rresp0ndent.l
New York, Feb. l5.-The American
league today win add the finishing blow
to the knock administered TO the Base
ball Players Fraternity. Action by
the National league and the statement
Of David L. Fultz in which he agreed
TO call off his threats has taken the
thunder out of anything the American
league may do, however. Contracts now
in the hands OF ball players provide
that no player shall be Disseminated
against for being member of the fra
tcrnity.
Inasmueh as this is the only condition
Fultz asked, it is automatically granted
There is but one thing TO stand in the
way of complete peace? Ban johnson
has declared that John Henry, member
of the Washington club, must get out
of the American league. johnson is a
man who usually makes his threats
good. If he is iHsistent upon making
an example of the Senator, trouble may
yet come about, for Henry, being vice
president of the fraternity, was one of
those who made possible the nO-strike
edict issued by Fultz 1t is hardly pos
sible baseball players would idly consent
to the discipline of man who had
fought their battles.
Fultz Is statement releasing ball play
ers from their pledges to sign, was the
signal for rejoicing in New York.
Critics and Followers of the game,
without exception, praised the head of
the fraternity for the game manner in
which he lost. Every one voiced tae
opinion that if organized baseball re-
fuses to drop the fight now that the
fraternity has quit, it will be to its dis,
credit. =
Fultz expects to step out as head of
the fraternity. He has been sincere in
everything he has done and feels keenly
the fact that he was forced to acknow-
ledge his error in dragging major league
club owners into the fight on minor
leaguers.
Whether the fraternity, as it now ex-
lists, will be continued, no one seems to
know. Neither of the major leagues has
made any objection to union among
players but each has decided the broth
erly spirit and lack Of competition
brought about by associations in the or
ganization headed by Fultz.
The national commission was to meet
early today for brief session and the
American league meeting was to con
vene Immediately after
The National league has advanced the
date ON which clubs may go into spring
| training, changing it from March / to
February 25.
