PURPOSE ACCOMPLISHED
SENATE WILL ADJOURN
Wednesday Predicted as Day for End
ing Special Session.

1t was predicted last night that the
special session of the Senate which con-
vened March 5 will adjourn not later
than Wednesday of this week. The ses-
sion has accomplished the principal
object for which 1t was called, namely
the revision of the rules Of the Senate
SO that hereafter no such exhibition of
dilatory tactics and interference with
the wishes of the vastly dominant
majority of the Upper House of Con-
gress may be re-enacted. The other
object of its assembling, the ratification
of the Bryan treaty with the Republic
Of Colombia will not be gained.
With the reassembling of Congress III
extraordinary session only five weeks
distant the greatest interest is develop
ing in the probable complexion and con-
troll of the next House. The announce
ment yesterday of the sudden death Of
Representative Cyrus Sulloway, of New
hampshire. a Republican, again ties the
big parties in the House. Each party
has PA certain adherents. The IN
pendent group remains the same, FIVE
doubtful quantities with the chances
favoring the line of three of the So
called independents with the Republicans
on questions of organization and this
positive certainty of the alliance Of the
remaining two with the Democrats.
Gov. Whitman says that he will not
endeavor to gain a Republican seat by
Withholding the call for a special cleo
ton to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Representative Conry, Dem
ocrat, of New York City.
Republican leaders here were advised
last night that under the laws Of New
Hampshire, the governor cannot call
special election to fill a House vacancy,
for at least sixty days after the vacancy
occurs. This legal provision will effect
ually prevent the filling of the Sulloway
seat before the new House organizes,
and 1t will materially lessen the Re-
publican chances for control. There was
a growing feeling In Washington last
night that the Democrats would be able
to win over enough independent votes to
perfect the organization, aided by a plea
for patriotic support for the President in
the present emergency.

INVENT ALMOST SOUP;
TRY IT IF YOU dare!
Government Says. However. Weird
Combination Is Edible.

How does synthetic soup" sound 70
you?
A German chemist invented Il and
chemists at the Department Of Agricul-
ture say the stun is edible.
You take equal portions OF sodium
phosphate and calcium carbonate and
ammonium sulphate. add a little sugar
and a small amount Of yeast You mix
these, set the pan away until reaction by
autolysis ensues. and you have a brown
sticky paste that has all the nutritive
qualities of commercial beef extract.
1t Is the yeast that transforms the in
organic minerals into the pronounced or
ganic meat substitute. The yeast con-
tains fermentation agents which are re-
sponsible for the alteration and produce
the food qualities from the chemicals.
The soup has a rather beefy odor and
is inexpensive.

nice luncheon Of well-moistened and sa-
worry mussels was brought in and placed
close enough for Mr.. Fish to get small
meal OF them.
The fish's mouth was then opened and
the end of big syringe was slipped be-
tween his teeth and pushed and pushed
until 1t finally touched bottom. Then the
mussels were carefully conveyed. one by
one to the digestion department Of the
fish. it's chin wiped and Mr.. Fish return
ed to the tank.
After several meals in this fashion
the fish-realizing that 1t was very foolish
to have a stomach ache and that all he
needed was some lunch-began to sit up
and eat without protest.
Then he was Topped back into his tank
and made one big splash for the bottom

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1S.-ReCall
OF Charles NJ. Fickert, district attor
ney Of San Francisco county, was
sought in an election neld' here today.
Official aspects OF the event were
swallowed up in nationwide contro-
VerSy over Fickert'S activities in OBJ
tanning the indictment and trial Of
persons accused of murder in connec,
ton with a bomb explosion which
killed ten persons here July %, 1916.
in a preparedness parade. Fickert's
friends took the position that his re-
call was sought because of these cases,
which resulted in one sentence of
death, one OF life Imprisonment and
two acquittals, with one case not yet
adjudicated. His opponents asserted
that his activities against the defend
ants were not warranted by facts or
evidence, and accused him of "perse-
cution." Magazines throughout the
country and some men in public life
took sides as to the propriety of these
prosecutions.
Fickert's opponents today were
Charles A. Swsigert, who ran second
in the last election for district attor-
ney, and Frank P. Haynes. Sweigert
was a member of the police commits
sion just after the fire of 1906.
Haynes took an active part in politics
here some years ago.
The specific charges against Flick
ert, as contained in the recall petit
tions, were that "he has failed to ap-
preciate the duties and responsible
ties of his office, and has been guilty
of violating the standard of conduct
demanded of him by the Supreme
Court OF California" and that The is
not conducting the office of district
attorney in the interest of justice and
to the satisfaction of the people of the
city and county of San Francisco"
Several persons were indicted by
the grand jury on charges of perjury
in connection with the signing of the
recall petitions. They were later re-
leased.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In 1t before breakfast.

Headache Of any kind, is caused by
auto intoxication-which means self,
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through 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 VIC
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call,
ed headache. You become nervous,
respondent, sick, feverish and miser-
able, your meals sour and almost nau-
seate you. Then you resort to ace,
tanilide, aspirin or the bromides
which temporarily relieve but do not
rid the blood Of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with-a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
drank before breakfast for awhile, will
not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of head.
ache but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
plated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue TO fish out
the stomach, liver and bowe;y every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.-AdV.
