Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in 1t,
before breakfast.

TO feel as fine as the proverbiai
fiddle we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-

ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-

skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanlinessa Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function OF

waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
cans only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or

STOCKING TOPS
TO BE SAVED
(By United Press)

Washington, July 19.-The old
stocking may finally have some
better use than to hold boarded
gold and to cure the children s
colds. The women's committee
of the Council Of National De-
Tense today discovered $1,000
900 worth Of old stocking tops
are wasted every year by Ameri-
can women and recommend that
some method Of eliminating this
waste be found. They say this
waste should not apply to silk
stockings, as silk hose should not
be worn at this time when thrift
and economy are needed.

FIRE LOSS FALLS.
State Board of Forestry Shows Pro-
gress. Efficiency of Force Increased
and Loss From Forest Fires is Be-
ing Rapidly Reduced.

The MARYLAND Board of Forestry
has lust made public the States losses
from forest fires for the proceeding
year. 1t is a record of accomplishment
and proof of services well done. IL
still being the fire season in mucn OF
the State, these figures are partic-
ularly of interest.
1t was not unusual, few years
back, for Maryland's loss from for
est fires to be a quarter million dol
lars annually. In fact as late
as 1911, it reached the figure OF
| $4,000, and though being stead
| ily reduced as the State Forest
Fire Protective organization grew in
strength of members, it was still IN
1914 as much as $4,000. Then 1t be-
gan to go down The next year it was
| about $4,000 less, but it remained for
1916 to shove this total down and re-
gister a Knockout punch in one OF
the most expensive, unnecessary leaks
the State has ever had. And the pre-
sent is no time for leaks.
Taking three widely separated
counties, as far apart in location as
in the makeup of their timber, yet all
of them with heavy forests which are
of greatest value and necessity to
each, we find Garrett with a damage
in 1915 of $4,000. For 1916 this
shrinks to $4,000, the cost of eXtin-
gushing such fires as occurred drop
ping at the same time from 1892 to
1925. Fire damage in Charles decreas-
ed within one year from ST 1000 to
81 500, cost of fire fighting from $lO4
to s11. In Worcester these figures con-
firnc in 1Q1A
cost this county in damaged timber
the sum of $4,000, it was reduced in
1916 to only $500. Results so uniform
over a great area prove that real work
was accomplished in the forests OF the
State, since showings are as uniform
throughout.
In the State of Maryland, as a
whole, number of forest fires went
down Al per cent. from 247 in 1915 to
1T in 1916; damage, from 100000 to
$29 900, q per cent; cost of eXtin-
gushing, $4,000 to $1,000, 81 per cent;
acres burned over, 81 $40 to 1880, a
lowering of SO per cent.
The actual returns, in timber saved,
lands kept productive, watersheds
protected, and local industries sus-
tained-are hard to estimate. No one
can doubt that such service has real
money value to the State. For such
showing there is some explanation
naturally. While the two fire seasons
of Spring and Fall in 1916 were not
abnormally dry, they were not at the
same time more favorable for fire
protection than many which have gone
before, and which have failed to make
these showings 1t is rather to be laid
at the door of increased efficiency in
the State organization of Forest War
dens, personnel which through it's
commendable zeal, continued interest,
and increasingly effective service is
saving the State vast sums each year.
Their services are not expensive,
about a hundredth part OF what they
save, but they are valuable. With the
same efficient efforts, and the solid
backing of the public, they will keep
on guarding for the State one OF its
chiefest resources at a period when
such resources were never more i'm
portant.
