debated the war resolution all of to-
day and far into the night and al

proceeded with an air Of Unconditional
acquiescence. scores of members max
ing brief speeches to put themselves
on record as reluctantly accepting war
as the only course Of honor.
During the day the debate revealed
an unexpected strength in the minor
ity opposing the resolution. Conf
dent predictions Of not more than a
dozen votes against 1t gave place to-
night to reports that the opposition
might muster upwards Of n hundred
on the final roll-call, and supporters
OF the resolution conceded that the
number to vote in the negative prob
ably would be more than So

This surprising accession to the
minority ranks was attributed to the
efforts OF Democratic Leader Kitchin
who took the floor and in a dramatic
speech announced that he could not
with a clear conscience vote for war
Supporters OF the presidents course
were not concerned over the detection
however. Sure Of great majority
they permitted the roll-call to be de.
layed only so that every one might be
heard.

IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMIPLEXlON
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

/ To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
ylouS days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before il is ab-
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when 1t burns, leaves behind a cer-
tain amount of inconbustible material
In the form Of ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ALI
mentary organs a certain amount of
!ndigestible material, which If not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
elf 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, glass of hot water with a
teaspoonfM Of limestone phosphate in
1t, which is harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake I'D with
6. coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured or very pronounced results In
one or two weeks.
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses purifes and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness. be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug is a sticky ether compound,

up the corn without inAaming or even

One of the strangest incidents Of
The sepoy rebellion is told by Will
ham Forbes Mitchell in his "Rem-
iniscences of the Great Nutiny."
Mr. Mitchell, who was sergeant Of a
highland regiment, had the misfor-
tune during a battle to lose the
greatcoat which every soldier car
iried folded In what was known as
% "Crimean roll" and strapped to
the shoulders in such manner that
1t crossed the breast:
Many a man owed his life to the
fact that bullets became spent In
passing through these rolls. It hap
pened that in the heat of the fight
my roll was cut right through wher~
the two ends were fastened togeth-
er by the stroke of keen edged
tulwar, which was intended to cut
me.
