DRINK HOT WATER
If YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tions and poisonous toxins before it
is absorved into the blood. Just as
coal, when it burns, leaves behind a
certain amount Of incombustile ma
terial in the form of ashes, so the
food and drink taken each day leave
in the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material, which
if not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are Their sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which
are intended to suck in only nourish-
ment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of heal
thy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, q glass of hot water with a
Iteaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means Of
washing the waste material and toX-
ins from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract, before putting more food into
the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ion, also those who wake up with a
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation, should begin this phos-
pated hot water drinking and are as
sured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter-pound Of limestone phos-
tphate costs very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to demonstrate
that, just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
inside organs. We must always con-
slider that internal sanitation is vastly
more important than outside cleanli-
ness, because the skin pores do not
absorb impurities into the blood, while
the bowel pores do.

CAMPAIGN FOR BONDS
IS ABOUT CONPL ETED

Official announcement has been
made at the office of the Imperial r.
rigation District of the close of the
campaign for signatures to the Dis
ti;ct bond petition. When the copies
Of the petition received in Saturdays
mail, together with the names on the
copies Of the petition collected from
various offices in the Valley, we're
counted, it was found that the total
obtained had exceeded the $500 re-
quired to make the petition effective.
Accordingly, Secretary Mclver today
began the work of checking the names
against the District assessment roll
in order to verify them in his report
t. the District Board Of Directors.
As much care was used in the col
lection of the signatures to the pc
tition, it is not expected that Secretary
McIver will find many irregularities
and the petition will be found legally

tors will probably be able at their
meeting within the next week to call
special election to be held next month
t. vote on the question Of issuing
bonds to the amount Of $2,500,000 to
make needed improvements to the ca
nal system.
The active corporation given the
District officials in their canvass for
signatures by the newspapers, watec
companies, banks and citizens is fully
appreciated, according to statement
iss ued by Business Manager c. D..
Paris. The importance of the work
provided for by the bond issue has
Leen realized by the majority Of the
real estate owners in the Valley, as
is evidenced by the number of sigma
| lures obtained.
President Leroy Holt of the Irriga-
ton District board today expressed
n uch qualification at the closing Of
the bond petition campaign and de
c!ared his confidence in the outcome Of
the voting on the bond issue.

Submarine Campaign
 Claims 56,6OO Tons
 In First Three Days

Washington, Feb, 9.-Lloyds report for the third day of Germany's new submarine campaign shows that the undersea boats are maintaining the average of destruction set by the Ber- lin naval experts as necessary to suc- cess.
 The third days reported losses to- tailed 27,985 tons and the preceding two days totalled 56,60
 At such rate the destruction of 100000 tons a month, which is the German aim, would seem about to be accomplished. German naval ex- perts contend that such an average would cut England off from the world and end the war by her starvation.
 It is realized here, however, that the British government is not lacking in measures to keep the sea lanes open and that these will become ap- parent as the campaign progresses. It is pointed out that while the world knows of the losses of merchant ships it knows little if anything at all about the costs of the submarine fotillas.

THE ELKS MINISTRIES.

An amateur performance of more than usual merit was the entertain ment given at the Park City theatre last evening by the Elks' Minstre1s. There was a large and appreciative audience present, and the many local hits were hugely enjoyed. In all re- spects the entertainment surpassed last years performance by the same minstrels. The introductory over ture was enjoyable, the diversified program pleasing the house immense ly. The stage settings were hand some and showed originality.
 The opening was delayed a few mo- ments owing to the failure of w. F.. Guilfoile, one of the young men, who was delayed in putting in an appear ance. His place was taken by MT. William Hackett of Danbury, an ar tist whose work found immediate fa- vor with the audience. Johnny Judge sprang several new jokes which he had carefully treasured for reasons best known to himself. The 'tquids'' were all right at that and they made a hit. Louis Brock sang well and had a few new ones which he work ed off to advantage. Diminutfve Johnny Anderson told story or two tween LIIfloS anu ETn0SC seaman made one of the hits of the night in his rendition of Dick Howell's latests addition, 'Ain't Dat Chile a Honey" The ditty caught the Iancy of the au- dience and MT. Seaman was encored. The chorus is unusually catchy and a portion of the crowd started to whistle and accompany it.
 A very clever act was the singing and dancing of the Madigan brothers, Edward and Morgan, Bridgeport youths. These boys are exceptionally clever and many remarked last night that they are easily superior to many vaudeville performers in their line who are making a comfortable living. The Schubert quartcrte sang several selections finely and there were solos by Messrs Finch, Caulfeld and Good fellow. Charles Dickerson in a mon ologue showed undoubted talent He also sang with much sweetness a sen timental ballad entitled "OnIy Me" Several tuneful selections were splen- didly rendered by Jerome Mays Ban jo quartette
 The performance closed with a Imaginable skit written expressly for the Elks by Richard Howell, entitled "Colored Bachelors Club Dinner" Little Egypt was not presented by Fritz Hartmann as Little Africa made an amusing substitute. There were upwards of 200 visitors from all parts of the state and after the per
