SWAT THE RAT, NEW SLOGAN
Rodents, 5esides Spreading Disease,
 Destroy Vast Amount of Property !s. Yearly, It Is Claimed

0. O. Frisbie, president of the Amer lean Agricultural Cadets, has figured 1t out that every year the rats and their kin cost the people of the United States at least 25,O0o,OO0.
 Besides spreading disease and filth, the rat destroys annually nearly S25,- 100000 worth of property" declares Mr. Frisbie. 'aThe rat in some parts of the country is responsible for crop failures and for the destruction of mil lions of dollars worth of valuable anil nal life.
 'aThe rat is the most industrious and viIlainous disseminator of disease that pFeys on man. He leaves a trail of death and destruction.
 "If we could get rid of the rat we could save every year that interest on the Liberty loan; we could build near ly enough battleships to meet the de mands of the war; we could supply 25,OOO airplanes to our armies in France.
 'why not swat the rat as well as the fyT

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting more
 food Into stomach.
Says lnside-bathing makes any one look and feel clean,
 sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri. ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sus- tain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentaTy canal befor putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stomach or constipation are assured of pro- nounced improvement in both health and appearance shortly.

BASEBALL IN MOHAVE COUNTY

he has the Kingman club self-support- ing. Witness the Tact that the King man baseball club bought a Liberty bond and was able to pay almost all cash for the same. Ray Robinson has made the ball club representative of Kingman. Most clubs have some out siders, but Kingman has practically none. Kingman fans have shown their appreciation of Rays efforts by loy- ally supporting both himself and the team.
 The rest of the Kingman lineup is a formidable one with Price, Jamison, Stanley George, Wonderful "Abie" Bale and one or two others with their heavy bats. Most pitchers must trem- ble just little when they are due to face Kingman.
 Mohave county can claim with dis tinction that it has the finest lot of gentlemenly ball players of any county in the state and I wouldn't be afraid to include the United States. The fans of Mohave county know this fact also.
 About the umpiring-it is bad, not oriously bad, but for this reason lack of experience. Umpiring in itself is a science for witness the enormously large number of professional baseball players who fail to make good umpires. The greatest difficulty is in calling strikes and balls. Some umpires are better than others, of course, and the players on the various clubs here make it hard for umpires as they strike at some terribly bad balls.
 One more word about the fans in Mohave county. I personally have seen fans all over the country and the fans of Boston have the reputation of being the fairest and squarest, but they are not a bit ahead of Mohave county fans. They give support where it belongs and seem to enjoy the hard, if not always successful, efforts of their favorites. Baseball being an absolutely clean sport is on a firm foundation in Mohave county and when the year is over, we are sure that Mohave county fans will not look back on this season with any very serious regrets.

German MAN Power"

being broken up 10 supply the rein
fnrcemcnts needed on the western
front.
"A division has recently been

of H. years. Their training is insult
ficirnl. although their morale appears
10 be good and they are physically
I'll.
Among German troops which have
been at the front for considerable
time The way WEAKNESS is spread
ing" the dispatch says. with their
morale lowering as their faith in The
C-boat as Il means of victory dies out.
, discipline holds their disCOnent with
in bounds" the message declares, but
it is significant that many prisoners
express pleasure that they have been
captured.
The dispatch asserts that "as Ihc
man power fails, Germany is turning
more and more towards machinery
in the use of which there has been an
increase.
Letters found recently on Germans
