There is one wrestler in the world

majority Of their battles While this
course may seem peculiar to some, 1t
is easy to explain. The students at
the service academies engage in mill
tary drill or study OF the branches of
military work all the time, and diver
sion is no doubt considered necessary,
especially in these days when the ca
diets are applying themselves to their
studies harder than ever. On the other
hand. military drill has occupied very
little space in the spotlight at the col
leges and schools where the usual
routine of education is pursued and
now the students will make up for lost
time by drilling during the time usually
taken up by athletics while at the
same time continuing their regular
course of studies.

mentioned that the Army's baseball
nine has played three collegiate games,
winning them by the scores of 16 to l,

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open siulces Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache, stuffy from cold.
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
lame back, can, instead, both look and
feel as fresh as daisy always by wash
ing the poiSons and toxins from the
body with phosphated hot water each
morning.
We should drink. before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with q teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it to flush
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
ten yards of bowels the previous days
indigcstible waste, sour bile and poison
GUS toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening,
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract before putting more food into the
stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate and
hot water on an empty stomach is won
derfully inyigorating. 1t cleans out all
the sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid appe-
tite for breakfast, and it is said to be
but little while until the roses begin
to appear In the cheeks. a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will cost
very little at the drug store, but is suf-
ficient to make any one who is bothered
with biliousness, constipation, stomach
trouble or rheumatism real enthusiast

FOUR WASHINGTONIANS |
TO Share in Big ESTATE
Are Among the 438 Heirs of Ancestor
of Hetty Green.

Four Washingtonians. all hneal de-
scendants of Gideon Howland, grand
father Of Sylvia Ann Howland, late of
New Bedford. Mass, who died in 1865,
Will receive in the near future portion
OF her $.3o.0o0 estate which had been
possessed since her death by the late Mrs.
Hetty Green. who died July 16 last.
There are 43S heirs who will receive
fractional shares of the estate, these parts
ranging from a couple of hundred dollars
to $4,000. Some Of the divisions are very
complex. such as one-sixth of one-twenty-
sixth Of one-forty-fifth or one-seven thou
sand-and-twentieth of the vast estate.
The late Hetty Green, by the terms OF
the original will of the testatrix, Sylvia
Ann Rowland. received an income from
the trust fund during her lifetime, and
1t fs through her death that the fund Is
now to be distributed among the 43S lineal
descendants. This will. 1t is said. has
been longer entailed than any other In
the history of the country.
The heirs are now scattered throughout
the United States from the most northern
corner OF Maine to southern Texas. Most
OF them. however, still reside in the vicin-
ity OF Bedford. Mass. where Sylvia Ann
Rowland, the testatrix, died in 1873.
The bequests to the four parties resid-
Ing in this city range from $1,000 to 1900
Those who will participate In the distri-
button are Isabel T. Pell, 1916 Rhode Is
land avenue northwest; Maria c. Now
land, John Heath, of the State Depart
ment, and George Rowland Chase, 1853 N

RAILROAD EARNINGS
6 Per CENT IN 1916
Return Not So Large as Generally Be-
! ieved, Statistics Show.

New York, Jan. A-The 1916 earnings
Of the railroads of the United States do
not represent a large return on the in
vestment, but only about 8 per cent re-
turn, and the railroad problem has not
been solved by one prosperous year. This
is the conclusion of an analysis of the
roads first "billion-dollar-net" year, pre-
pared by Francis H. Sisson, assistant to
the chairman of the railway executives
advisory committee. Mr.. Sisson's analy-
sis said, in part:
For the first time in the history of
the transportation in this country rail-
road net earnings for the calendar year
1915 crossed the billion-dollar mark. AS
soon as this fact was published broadcast
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
great deal of eNtravagant comment,
editorial and otherwise, followed. AS a
matter of truth, the ultimate yield on
the total value of the railroad property
used by the public during the year 1916
out of this immense total of more than
$1,000 100000 is less than per cent.
1T is almost truism to say that rail-
road expenses have risen tremendously
in the last two years-or indeed that
earnings and expenses are converging.
Nevertheless. both statements are true.
or the railroad dollar aforementioned
more than 43 cents went to labor, al
most II cents for material and supplies
approximately cents to taxes more than
cents for fuel and locomotive supplies,
more than cents for loss and damage,
approximately cents for rent of leased
roads, almost cents for betterments, al
most Is cents to interest and debt, and
barely cents to dividends and sur
plus"

The Enemy of Uric
Acid Is Anuric
(By L. H. SMITH, NJ. d.

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human ma
chine is liable to become out of order.
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their sig
nails of distress are easily recognized
and include such symptoms as back
ache, depressions, drowsiness, irrita-
bility, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
twinges, dropsy, gout
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
a small amount of Anuric, which is
dispensed by most every druggist.
Anuric double strength) is mex
pensive and should be taken before
meals. 1t is much more potent than
lithia and many find that Anuric dis
solves uric acid as water does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as do
the bowels, need to be flushed occa-
sionally. The kidneys are an elimina-
tive organ and are constantly working,
separating the poisons from the blood.
Under this continual and perpetual ac-
ton they are apt to congest, and then
trouble starts. Uric acid backs up into
the system, causing rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, dropsy, and many other serious
disturbances. 1t means that you are
victim to uric acid poisoning. Then
ask your druggist for Anuric, which
was first dicovered by DR.. Pierce OF
the Surgical Institute in Buffalo, and
which is dispensed by nearly every
drnegist n The laod,-Ad~

Want SUCCESS rule?
Then LOOK right HERE
Miss Louise Cults Powell. B. s.. Tells
the Whole Secret.

You could be a master-a master OF
men, a master Of affairs, or a master OF
yourself. IL you only 'willed it and per
sistently followed a few simple rules, ."
declared Miss Louise Cults Powell. B. s.,
In lecture on The Master Vibrations"
in the lecture room of the Hotel Port
land last night These are the rules:
Fut-Develop diplomacy or tact Never
be antagonistic toward your fellow-nian.
Second-Be original in your speech and
In your thoughts. Express what you
think, regardless OF what the other fel-
low thinks
Third-Develop the faculty OF being
alone without b,jng lonely. That is, be
happy in your own company.
Fourth-Command money. Develop the
faculty of attracting it through your
business.
Ffth-Don't be selfish. Work for the
universe at large.
This, Miss Powell asserted, is the sure
prescription for success as followed by
every real master from CONTIGUOUS to the

ARE YOU RESTLESS?
SEEK BALM IN ART!
English Artist Says Life of Nations De-
pends Largely Upon Its Art.

Before the Washington Society of Fine
Arts in the auditorium of the New Ma
tional Museum, H. Granville Barker,
English artist and playwright, last night
bemoaned the fate of artists who he de-
clared have been put out of business be-
cause Of the war.
And we will be of no use after the
war" he said, for the belligerent
countries will not want ornaments. In
the long period of reconstruction which
will follow the conflict everything will
be industrialism and commercialism."
Mr.. Barker's subject was why Worry
with Art?'
He claimed that art was a vital part
of every nation. believing that Q
country's very life depended upon II in
some respects.
Mr.. Barker said that he has been
watching for some time the unrest
among people of many nations.
Mr.. Barker gave art as a probable balm
for the unrest of the masses as he
views it.
