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 t burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incon- bustible ma 3crial in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day af- ter day leaves in the ailmentary canal certain amount of indigestible ma- terial, which if not completely elimi comes food for the millions of bac- ter:s. which infest the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-like 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 a glass of real hot wa ter with teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff ness, or have sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get quar- ter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. and begin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is suffient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health. while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.-Adv.

Instead of continuing into this dirt road. the route after June will continue north on the Ladd-Hooker turnpike through the Ohio street pike to East Seventeenth avenue, continuing west on that thoroughfare to State street. and thereafter continuing as at present

WOMAN MAY SUCCUMB
 TO WOUND IN MOUTH
Charlie Reed in Critical Condition tt Hospital, and George Gillian Held
 Under Heavy Bond at County Jail.

Charlie Reed, 3O-year-old negro woman, lies in a critical condition at the Davis hospital, and George Gill lam, 65-year-old negro, is prisoner in the county jail on charge ,'f assault with intent to kill, as the re- suit of a fracas early yesterday morning on the Winfley place, sev- eral miles north of the city.
 The woman was shot through the neck, the bullet entering her mouth and perfordting her tongue. She lost great quantity of blood and n addition, the wound is difficult of treatment, hence the belief that she may die.
 Gillan evaded arrest all day, bat was captured early last night at the home of his daughter-in-law, Mary Gillian, in Battlesville, by Deputy Sheriff J. l.. McBurnett, Constable Clint Green and Deputy Constable Cliff Pilkington. sHe informed the officers he shot the woman with a 32-calibre rifle because she had cursed him and abused him beyond endurance. Because of the serious ness of the woman's wound, Gillian is held in default of bond in the amount of $10,000.

FAITH PROSPECT
 IS ''DRY HOLE."
 DEPTH 2540 FEET
Richardson Oil Company Abandons Labors lief
 ferson Company Thru.

Work of drilling the prospect well by the Richardson Oil company, at Faith. several miles west of Pine Bluff, has been stopped, the casing is being drawn from the hole, and the company is preparing to return at once to the Louisiana fields.
 Announcement to this effect was made yesterday Work on the Faith well has been under way for several months, at an outlay of several thousand dollars. The we'll is said to have reached a depth of 2,54O feet. with no indications of gas or oil, and the decision of the company to aban- don it's efforts to strike oil was not unexpected by those who have been in close touch with the situation.
 The Richardson Oil company was expected to complete the drilling of the proposed we'll of the Jefferson Oil company, on the Rutherford place southeast of the city, but the Jeffer- son company never has perfected the contract, and it is generally be- lieved now the latter company does not expect to do any more drilling.
 Rees Burks, secretary of the Jee- ferson Oil company, stated last night that he is prepared to drill a we'll anywhere in this county, if the own CTS of land desire such prospect work to be done. but that this is an individual proposition with him. He expressed the opinion also that the Jefferson Oil company will do no moro drilling.
