DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has OF late made rap
id strides, with results that are of UNTOLD
blessing to humanity. The latest appli'
cation of its untiring research is the rec
ommendation that it is as necessary to
attend to internal sanitation of the
drainage system of the human body as il
is to the drains of the house.
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, can, instead,
feel as fresh as daisy by opening the
sluices of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the internal
poisonous, stagnant matter
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well,
should, each morning before breakfast,
drink glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
els 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 limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully invig-
Grating. 1t cleans out all the sour fer
mentations, gases, waste and acidity and
gives one splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your break
fast, the phosphated hot water is quietly
extracting large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for thor
ough flushing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness 9th
ers who have sallow SKINS blood disorders
and siekly compilations, 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 q
pronounced crank on the subject of in
ternal sanitation.--Adv.

Carl Weigel, Back From Border,
Joins Basket Ball Whirl Again

New impetus was given to local
Class A basket ball circles when Carl
Weigel, just back from the Mexican
border, assumed the management of
the Townsends,
Perhaps there is no basket ball flip
per in the city who has been con-
nected with as many championship
quintets as the new Townsend leader,
In 1914 and 1915 he was manager OF
the First Christian FIVE, which won
the Church league championships for
the two seasons. Before that time he
was manager and captain of the Pi-
rates, a basket ball aggregation which
was one OF the strongest in this Sec
ton OF the state. He was also con-
nected for the last two seasons with
the team he now manages, playing a
forward position,
While on the border, Weigel was
captain and manager of the crack
Company B team. which won the bas-
ket ball championship of the Fourth
and Fifth Nebraska regiments.
With Wiegel once more at the
helm there are many who predict that
the Towusends will be one OF the big
factors in the city basket ball cham
pionshlp contention.

While visiting Agucrri some OF the

The natives would not listen to any
thing pertaining to game unless the
Americanos were willing to put up

Accordingly SIS was found, and

went an inning the Americans knew
which side would collect and they
surrendered after six innings, with

game he decided close play against
one Of the natives. The native waited
his time and he had his re-reivenge.
Waited for Launch.
The Americans had about fifteen
| minutes to wait for the launch which

so they sat on the edge of pier
discussing the game. Underneath
them playful young sharks were rails

ping their teeth.
The Porto 2ican who had been
called out at first on close one de

purpose. Creeping quietly behind the
volunteer umpire he gave him a
sturdy push and toppled 'his jumps"

team, went in after him and dragged

Grand Rapids, Mich. Jan. 27.-
Grand Rapids expects to stage the
first S250,000 bowling tournament i'll
March of this year, judging by fig
ures got up by National Treasurer
Frank L. Pasdeloup, the Chicago man
who has handled the money of the
American Bowling congress for sew
eral years. His figures are based upon
table printed in Chicago paper last
Sunday which gave total OF only
$1,000 Analyzing the list showed
several items that were away below
what are expected to prove the true
figures.
The first tournament was held in
Chicago in 1901, but in sixteen
years the event has grown until it has
become the greatest single sporting
event, from financial point OF view,
that is being held annually. The first
meet in the Welsbach building did not
cost over $4,000, the prize list run.

from Racine, with the other towns
still to be heard from. The banner
visiting delegation, outside of Chi
cago, will be from Detroit, where
Captain Ryan, former president of the
congress, has signed fifty clubs for
the big trip. Cleveland, the home OF
Senator William Agnew, the present
boss Of the American Bowling con-
gress, will run close to Detroit, with
at least thirty teams.
Pasdeloup's astonishing figures on
the amount of money that will be
turned loose by the bowlers for less
than months rolling shows that
$4,000 will be spent by the tenpin
knights in three single items alone,
spending money and hotel expenses
aggregating the enormous total OF
100000, while railroad fares will
reach 100000. The entry fund will
be third in the cost of the event, some

amateur on the list is ]. r. jain of

of 9565-and in winter league compe-
tition he would have to be listed in
the place of Richardson.
In the 1915 averages also the pro-

the amateurs--the figures being 96l7
to 9604. The best professional shots
vary but little in their shooting from
year to year Only two of the men

to get in the select circle of amateurs
in 1915 and 1916, .H....-.-
There are a couple OF singular
things in connection with the aver
ages. Phil Miller, the professional
champion, and Frank Troeh. the am
ateur champion, were twenty-ffth in
their respective divisions and both the
amateurs and professionals had thirty
one shooters with an average of .95
or better. The amateurs had nine
over 90 and three over 81. The pro-
fessionals had sixteen over .96, three
over 81 and one with .o8. Ralph

targets, was eighteenth on the list.
Mrs, Adolph Topperwein, the only
woman professional shot, broke 2,539

for an average OF .o43S. and George
Maxwell, the one-armed professional
shot, broke 3,439 of the 3,640 targets

other trapshooter in 100000, and
average .9543. O N. Ford of San
Jose, Cal, shot at more targets than
any amateur-6,589, and averaged
.o45l. A shooter had to fire at more
than 1000 targets to get recognition

In the doubles Frank Troeh led
the amateurs with an average Of
