"sHooT YOUR SONS
BEFORE YOU. ALLOW
THEM TO GO TO WAR"

-MME. GLUck.
Boston.-"Shoot your sons dead,
American mothers, before you allow
them to enlist for war"
Such Is the advice Of Alma Gluck,
the grand opera star and wife Of
Zimbalist, the violinist. Nine. Gluck
is Of Roumania birth. Her husband
Is q Russian.
III every woman would pledge
herself to, kill her sons before she
let them 60 to war, there would be
no war;" she continued.
"I would. Before I would let a
son, of mine 60 to war and be shot,
after he had killed the sons Of other
women, I would shoot him myself,
with my own hands. You think he
might return alive? Manned, Grip
pied or sightless? All! That would
be worse than death. War is never
justifable, never, never, never.
Nine. Gluck has two daughters,
a girl Of 13 and a babe of 19
months, but no sons.

Mines and Geology. It is entitled
"The Columbia River Gorge; Its
Geologic History Interpreted from
the Columbia River Highway" 1t
/ is probably the first book Of such
elaborate nature issued by one Of
our States to call attention to the
features Of interest along roads:
There are hundreds Of miles OF good
roads in the United States which re.
veal at frequent intervals scenes OF
rugged grandeur, woodland charm
or partoral grace, but nothing has
been done to bring them to the at
tention Of the public. There are
thousands Of persons Of means who
enjoy leisurely tours along the
roads winding through these pictur-
esque places, whose visits are a
source Of profit to the local trades
people, whose reports OF such At
fractions gradually bring into the
districts other persons desirous OF
of spending vacations where Nature
has been 80 generous. Why has it
taken so long for the first official re-
cognition to be made Of the attrac-
tions to the traveller Of the scenic
and historical features of the roads
Improved at such great expense? The
U. S. Department Of the Interior Is
using all means at its disposal to
make known to the public the at.
fractions of our National Parks, and
now that Oregon has taken the ini-
tiative in calling attention to the
interesting features OF the Columbia
Rover Highway, other states should
follow its lead in capitalizing the
tourist value which roads possess
through their picturesque charm or
historical associations.

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In ths habit Of drinking Q
glass Of hot water bsfors
breakfast

We're not here long, 50 let's make
our stay agreeable. LIE US live well
eat well, digest we'll, work well, sleeI
well, and look we'll What glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how
very easy it is if one will only adopt
the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh
as daisy by opening the sluices OF
the system each morning and flush
ing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick OF
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour fermenta-
tions, gases, waste and acidity and
gives one splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phos-
phate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood
and getting ready for thorough
flushing of all the inside organs.
; The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation; bilious
spells, stomach trouble, others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders
and sickly complexions are urged to
get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone pronounced crank
on the subject of inside-bathing be-
fore breaEfast.-Adv.

Her Servant Problem
Was Easily Solved
SINCE THEN SHE SAYS SHE HAS
FELT BETTER THAN IN
YEARS.

"Tanlac relieved my stomach
trouble, those choking spells and
the other painful symptoms I had in
a few days, and I have not suffered
with these ailments since," said Mrs
j. F. Burgess, Of Belton, on Febru-
;ary oath, while praising Tanlac in
a public statement. M had been a
sufferer for q long time from in
digestion mad several other ailments
that were the result Of the indiges-
ton. I had severe choking spells
and it seemed that there was q lump
in my throat as big as a hickory
nut, and it was impossible for me to
eat without hurting afterwards and
7 had no appetite, either.
+ my nerves were bad, and was
troubled q lot with sleeplessness.
Part of the time I was so weak /
could not do my housework, and
shortness of breath was another all
ment that caused me untold dis
'comfort.
81 had heard 80 much about Tan
lac, and my condition, it seemed,
would not improve, 30 I decided to
give Tanlac q chance to better 1t,
and Tanlac did all right. It relieved
the nervousness, and I never have
nervous spells now. I was freed OF
the Indigestion, too, for which / am
50 thankful, and I soon was strong
and able to do my work. Those
choking spells were ended. In fact,
I am in good health and have been
since q few days after I started
Tsnlsc, though I quit taking Tanlae
six months ago. I had been in bad
health about two years before /
started taking Tanlac, but about .
year ago became 20 much worse
that I had to have q servant do my
housework.
"Tanlac got me in good shape,
and I feel better now than I have
for seven or eight years."

A NOTEWORTHY

Representatives of FL states re-
Gently took part in a conference at
Washington with the staff Of Logan
waller Page, director Of the u. S.
Office of Public Roads, who has
charge of the administration OF the
federal aid road law. They assem-
bled in order to bring about greater
uniformity in the requirements Tor
the materials used in road building
and maintenance. At present there
are unnecessary variations in these
requirements. which place useless
burden on their producers, increase
their cost in some cases and render
it difficult to apply, the experience
gained in one state to the problems
Of another.

ton in road work beyond the point
where conditions governing the &C.
lection of materials are uniform,

ing in some respects. By means OF
this conference it has been possible
to separate the features where there
should be- general agreement from
those in which local conditions make
it desirable to permit some latitude.
The results are considered Of great
value, not only in enabling the U. s.
Office Of Public Roads to cooperate
most closely with the various states
through an intimate understanding
Of their special needs, but also in
establishing greater uniformity in
the road work done in the different
states.
There are Q number Of organiza-
tions which have been devoting at
tention to standard specifications
for road materials, and the confer
ence adopted their standards when
they were considered reasonably
satisfactory. In the recommenda-

enough The possibility of its
formation without very high tenn

that on the coasts of Sweden and
