Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is

pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing ill health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
OF limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material. poisons, sour bile and toxins

ing the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse;
and freshens the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the ell
organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath

to bilious attacks or constipation

TY COBB HAS ANOTHER
0UTBURST AT DALLAS WITH
CHARLEY HERZOG AS GOAT

NEW YORK, April 12.-Ty Cobb's
outburst for freedom in spikes, perpe
trated in Dallas, Tex, with Charley
Herzog the goat is sufficient to lead
any one to wonder why it is that near
ly every great star in baseball has
participated in many bursts of temper,
many times ending in fist exhibitions.
Cobb himself has had innumerable
episodes of temper, and many times
they have developed into blows. The
occasion of the butcher nearly put Ty
out of baseball for a season, and there
was a time when he clambered into a
grandstand to take up the issue with
a spectator.
Herzog is a scrappy individual and a
star. Heinie Zimmerman is always
eager to argue with some one-and he
is a star. Joe Woods has had his fist
experiences. John McGraw fas a
fighter and fast one. Johnny Evers
has encountered trouble in his base
ball days more times than any one has
ever set down on paper
1t appears that the unchecked spirit
that carries men to heights in baseball
effort is just as likely to lead them to
needless effort when an argument pre-
sents itself. That probably explains
why Herzog and Cobb mixed.
Cobb has confessed he intentionally
spiked the Giants second baseman.
There undoubtedly was reason for
that and when Herzog grappled with
the Georgian and they went to the
Texas sand in a rough-and-tumble ex-
hibition, it was evident the fires had
been smouldering.
1t was queer thing that each par
ticipant in this melee was playing un-
der orders of two of baseball's scrap.
piest managers, John McGraw, himself,
probably has gone through more pug
ilistic capers on the diamond than any
man in the game, and Hugh Jennings
was a baseball player Of some ability
with his fists. Both were members of
the old Baltimore Orioles, club that
learned fighting almost as soon as It
did baseball.

MOOSE GATHER FOR
ORGANIZATION INDEPENDENTS

ST. LOUIS, April Irrational Pro-
gressive Party leaders gathered here
today to unite under the Moose banner
the liberal elements of all political
parties to organize party and cam
paign for 1920.
Neither Theodore Roosevelt nor
George w. Perkins was invited. Albert
y. Nortoni, who has been member OF
nearly all parties and an ardent Moos-
er since 1912. is the leading spirit OF
the convention.
The plan is to weld the liberal ele-
ments of the Democratic, Republican,
Socialist, Labor, Prohibition and Wo-
mems parties in National Liberal
Party.
Among those interested in the party
ere Matthew Hale of Boston, formerly
a member fthe Moose National COM
mittee; ]. A. H. Hopkins of New Jer
sey; John M. Parker of Louisiana, and
others. 1t Is hoped cambridge Colby,
Victor Murdoch, and other middle
western leaders will take an active
part in the convention.
Nortoni and other leaders said today
the "Solid South" would yield only to
a third party that embraced the ideals
of all parties now in the field.
Permanent working plans for the fu-
ture will be formulated and it was
learned that nationwide prohibition
and declaration for universal mil
itary training will be added to the
platform of 1912, which, it is expected
will be endorsed.
A committee of the Socialist party
which has been in session here for
nearly a week will meet with the ex-
ecutive committee of the Bull Moosers.

SOME PROBLEM,

1t looks as. if Uncle Sam had, in the
exemption matter, got to be wiser
than Solomon himself.
In ruling on the marriage exemp
tons, Gen rCrowder says:
Such dependency ordinarily rem
ders discharge advisable because
since the drafted person loses civil
income and thus loses his means OF
support, the wife is left without sup;
port, and this lack of support is the
effect which the act aims to avoid"
This would exempt pretty near all
the poor mems married sons, would
MT it? e..
And, in ruling on well-to-do and
rich mems sons, Gen. Crowder pre-
sents, as ground for refusing dis
charge, this:
Where the parents or other rela
tives of the wife or the husband are
able, ready and willing to provide ade
quate support for her and children, II
any, "udrihg tie absence of the hus

no confidence in saying that parents

them. Indeed, the temperature of the
national patriotism can be discovered
to a fair extent, by observing how
many of the liable" parents express
their willingness to support the de
pendents of their sons and sons-in

! "A big part of the problem seems tt
be to get up an army without taking
