This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-

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 pois-

IF IT'S HORSE, SAY
so, FINE ONLY s125

GRIMSBY, England, April 25.-If
old Dobin drops between the shafts and
is sold at the butchers to take his
place between the crusts of meat
pie, he has got to be labelled horse
flesh" Charles Robinson, who runs a
string of local meat-markets received
this information from the bench OF
the police court at cost of 1875.
Food inspectors prowling around for
pre-war bread and historic eggs hap
pened on Robinson's meat-counter with
its display of "pie-beef."
What is pie-beef?" asked one of
the inspectors.
"Pie-beef," returned the clerk, "Oh,
pie beef is a sort of beef, you know
It's beef for making pies. Hence the
name, pie-beef. Quite simple"
There was no mention of the late
lamented cart-horse so the inspectors
bought literally.
Borough analysis got busy in their
laboratory and revealed the igRomin-
ious fate Of a once more or less gal
liant steed.
There is not objection to the sale OF
ox-horse in England, the magistrate
said in pronouncing the fine. But
never may horse be sold as COW or
anything else but horse.

Always a Smile

There has never been anything but
a smile between u.s." he said, referring
to General Goethals. He added that
until power had been given to COM
mandeer shipyards he had been will
ing to sign contracts for steel at $95
per ton, but after this power was
given by Congress he believed the
price should be lowered and the con-
tract signed today was at $50 per ton
the price paid by the navy depart
ment for some of it's last contracts.
Mr.. Dennan emphasized the need of
Fastening the building of ships. He
said the German submarines are again
producing results and the United
States must build ships and many of
them if she is to help her allies.
The country's steel plants, 1t was
said today, accepted the price of $50
on condition that its acceptance would
not determine the final price to be
paid. Steel men, it is said, e.limate
the cost of production at around $45,
but they have been able to sell all
the plates they could produce at from
s95 to s125. The commercial demand,
however, will cease with the govern
ment's requisitioning of ships building
and ship yard facilities.
