POLICE TO Minimize
DANGER OF COAST|NG
Children Forbidden to Use Their
Sleds on Certain Streets-Ac-
cidents Reported.

Traffic conditions in Washington have
become more dangerous than hereto
fore because of the use of many streets
by thousands of children with sleds SO
dangerous has this practice become,
and so many coasters have been IN
jured, that Mai Pullman, superin-
tendent of police, has issued an order
to his captains to have members OF
their commands to stop coasting across
streets that are intersected by street
car lines and on streets where auto
mobile traffic is heavy. 1t is for the
purpose of preventing repetition OF
the serious eoasting accidents that al
ready have occurred that the order was
iss,ed

about o'clock were injured when a
southbound Chevy Chase car struck a
car of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company at the intersection
of 9TH and G streets and derailed it,

motormen had to depend on their own
signals to guide them in the movement
of their cars.

Chief Pullman's order.

while there~is no objection to chill
dren coastipg when snow is on the
ground and when it can be done with
safety to themselves and Others" said
Maj. Pullman in the order, members
of your command will put a stop to
children coasting on streets where, by
SO doing, they may endanger their
lives
THE men should be tactful about
this" the order continues, because it
should be known that they are not
arbitrarily interfering with childish
sport, but that they are taking what
action is taken to lessen the danger
and to save human life

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day In and day out
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do, says a we'll
known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist 1t
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn of these vile poisons and toxins !;
also to prevent their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an &C
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver kidneys and bowels.-Adv.

Small Fire at Cope.

What is considered narrow es-
cape from a serious fire occurred on
Thursday night in the store of MIR. }.
|. Valentine, at Cope. Friday morn
ing as Mr.. Henery opened up as US
ual. he was surprised to find the
building full of smoke, and he could
hardly find his way to the rear. Up
on reaching the trouble he found the
floor burned through about two feet
in diameter, and several sacks Of rice
burned and scorched. The supposl-
tion is that some late purchaser while
hanging around the stove threw Gig
arctic or cigar stump down by the
rice bags behind him, and as the sacks
would burn the rice would flow out
and smother out the blaze.
Had the store not been of brick
and the air completely shut off, or
had the fire originated among in
flammable stuff, the probability is
that the whole thing would have
burned down. AS it is, Mr.. Valen-
tine gets off with moderate loss, to
both merchandise and building. The
fire was burning vigorously when
discovered.

Died From Scalding.

Mr.. Samuel Coulter, who for the
last few years has been night engl-
neer for the Edisto River Lumber
company at their plant in this county,
suffered a most horrible accident,
which proved fatal, while on duty
there last Thursday night. The pipes
leading from the boiler bursted and
Mr.. Coulters whole body from head
to foot was terribly burned, scalded
and charred. His face was a solid
mass of charred flesh burnt beyond
recognition, and both eyes were COM
pletely burnt out. The unfortunate
man was rushed to hospital IN
Charleston on an early morning train
Friday, but death ensued shortly after
arriving in Charleston.
Mr.. Coulter had formerly lived
in Bamberg for a short while several
years ago, but his home is in Tennes-
see. He was a man about 60 years
old and without a family. but was
we'll liked by all who knew him. He
was quiet, unassuming and attentive
to his business duties.
