SAYS HOT WATER WASHES P0lS0NS
 FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It,
 before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverpial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre- vent its sponge-like pores from clog ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician.
 If you get headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it s yocr liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stomach becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complex ion, watery eyes all denote liver un- cleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the 1ncst abused and neglected organ of the body. Few know it's function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is dangerous, sali- vating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accu mulates in the tissues, also attacks the bones.
 Every man and woman, sick 0r we'll, should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone plos- phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous days indi- gestible material, the poisons, soar bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like calolnel, because it can not salivate, for it is harmless and you can, eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient fo: a demonstration of low hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day in and day out.-Advt.

Story of Atlantic Island.

Plato tells the story of tho great island of Atlantis and puts it's exls- tence 9,O00 years before his time. His location of 1t Is about half way be. tween the western projection of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico. It's civiliza. ton was supposed to be very advanced and its powerful armies were said to have penetrated Africa as far as Egypt. The whole island, according to this legend. was engulfed by the sea In day and a night. Another story says that great earthquake destroyed the island. The legend was ascribed to Egyptian priests, and on some old Italian maps Atlantis is placed to the westward of the Azores. Among some tribes of South and Central America there ls the legend of a vast cataclysm which engulfed great extent of'land
 Eminent scientists have found noth. Ing impossible n tbe existence at some
 lime of great Atlantic island, but the
 story of Atlantis Is generally regarded n myth.

Original St. Sophia.

One of the most interesting Of Sa. loniki's famous 22 churches is St. Sophia. Like its greater homonym of Constantinople, the National Geo. graphic Magazine observes, 1t is a domed basilica, and 1t was long con- sidered to be provincial copy of that great original. As a matter of fact. the Saloniki church is the original, having been built a hundred years OF more the earlier, at the end of the fourth or the beginning of the fifth century. The church has suffered dis astrously by fire, earthquake and restoration. but the original lines of the structure remain, as well as the pillars and beautiful capitals of wind- blown acanthus, and two hne frag- ments of mosaic. The principal mosa- ic, an Ascension, with decorative green trees between the standing figures, lines the great dome. It is supposed to date from 645. though the figure of Christ in the center Is older still.

When at last he was rescued Mir. Ar den put out for home with consider able rapidlty, only to find that during his absence Mrs. Arden had married again. What do you suppose was his subsequent action?" "Hard to figger," replied MT.

Much Fresh Ar 10 Needed.

Trouble brings on heart conditions and lung difficulties, 1t is said. becauss there is then a lack of fresh air taken into the lungs and the breathing is never deep enough. Therefore. to make 1t habit to breathe deeply, whether one feels like 1t or not, is one Of the best remedies for the difficulty In hand. whatever it may be. Again. not only must past blessings be inven- toried. but hope must be held out, which will give one goal to work for. No one man or woman can live with out this aim in life. The joys or eavors in hand must be remembered, to be sure, but there must also be something ahead in view or there is a resigned state of mind which is un. healthy.

Really Lost Time.

In the elevator of the Wyser build. ing, Muncie. as Arthur Gadbury. a young lawyer, rode to his office. was a stranger with every outward appear ance of the book agent. The agent left the elevator at the fourth floor and walked into Gadbury's office with the latter just behind. Gadbury, on enter, ing the place with the stranger. looked all around inquiringly and remarked 1: ''There doesn't seem to be anybody home." "But, do you krow," said the lawyer, in relating the incident, "I had to sit there for ten minutes or more with my hat on, waiting for that fellow to leave. I could have turned him down quicker than that"

Corrected His Lawyers.

James Engle, former judge of the Randolph county circuit court, was once called on to defend, at Winches- ter, the owner of melon patch who had shot aD invader. The only possi- ble defense for the prisoner was self. defense. The trial had proceeded to the point where the defendant was on direct examination by Engle. "Now, Sam," said Engle, "you say you shot .n self-defense. Just tell the jury all about 1t in your own way" "No, sir, Jim," said the witness. "You got that wrong. didn't say that. It was just like told you in your office before we came down here. I didn't shoot him in self-defense; I shot him in the back as he jumped the fence."-IndianapoIs News

 An application of fertilizer con- taining 12 per cent available phos- phoric acid, 1 1-2 to 2 per cent am monia and 2 per cent potash, applied at the rate of from 400 to 600 pounds per acre, will make crop of both nuts and hay sufficient to return the cost fthe fertilizer and leave very handsome profit while an unfertilized crop will barely return the cost of pro- duction.
 The Profit Value.
 The profit value of an acre of well cultivated and fertilized peanuts is equal to the profit value of an acre of cotton producing 2-3 of a bale to the acre. The following tabulated cost and value estimated by Dr. J. N. Har- per, clearly proves this point: Comparative Costs. Per Acre of Cot

an effort to inflame public opinion
against the United States to neutral

ing Washington. The propagandists
have been especially active in Switz-

been used for the spread of antkAmer-

One Of the principal reports re-

representations includes reports Of
mistreatment Of Swiss subjects in
the United states and antagonism in
this country against the Swiss.
An entirely different pima apparent
