An Inside Bath Makes You Look
 and Feel Fresh
Says a glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 keeps illness away.
Thls excellent, common.sense health measure being
 adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon mend the inside bath, claiming this j.; of vastly more importance than ou' side cleanliness. because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill health. whi!e the porea in the ten yards of bowe:ss do.
 Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass Of hot wate. with teaspoonful of limestone DhosnAate in it, as a harmless means Of helping to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days inIigest;- ble material, poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetenin.! and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food int the stomach
 Just as soap and hot wate cleans. and freshen the skin. so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the elira native organs.
 Those who wake Up with ba breath, coated tongue, nasty taste oi have a dull. aching head, sallow com l'leXion, acid stomadl others wnc are subject to bilious attacks or con- stipation, should obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at tn drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to demonstrate the value of inside bathing. Those who continue # each morning are assures of pronounced results, 10th in regard to health and appearance.-Advt

SUPPRESSION OF IMMORTALITY AIM
 OF MANN ALT
(Continued from page one.)

Ma2n white slave law, the question of whether it prohibits interstate trans rortation of women only for Gommer- clalized vice or applies to mere per Sonal immoral escapades having no clement of cOmmercialiSm or coercion has been disputed eve" since the law $ enactment.
 Interpretation by the supreme court of the disputed point was asked in the celebrated Digg Caminetti cases and in the qase of l.. T. Hays of Ava, Okla. In all three cases. the govern ment conceded, there was no element of traffic for gain.
 Three Must Serve Terms.
 Caminctti was sentenced to IS months imprisonment and fined $1 300 Digss to two years and q 5000 fine. Hays had an IS months prison sentence. All have been at liberty under bail.
 Lowe" Federal courts. and different administrations of the department of justice, have differed over the laws interpretation. Various women's clubs and other organizations have agitated
 
 morality. whether commercial or not
 Two other important questions rais ed were, whether women were accom- plices and, whether men might be con victed solely upon woman's uncor- roboratcd testimony.
 While Digs and Caminetti volun- tarily gave some testimony, they re fused some further testimony, and the trial judge instructed the jury to consider such refusal in reaching the ' verdict
 Diggs and Caminetti cDntcnded that it violates the constitutional clause eXempting persons from testifyins against themselves. The Ninth fed eral circuit court. however, held that under various precedents, the trial courts charge was justifie the de fcndants testifying voluntarily bat only in part.
 The defendants contended that con sres never intended tu include. with classification as felonies, offenses which are misdemeanours in most states but aimed the law against per sons transporting women victims ir commercia'ized white slave traffic.
 Courts are Divided. Although Attorney General Wicker sham, in office when the law was passed, ruled that it did not apply tC , personal escapades, the succeedin. ! administration held otherwise. Tn. Second Seventh, Eighth and Nintl Federal circuit courts of appeal hay, sustained the breader interpretation while other federal courts have helt only for the commercial construction
 Diggs and Caminetti were tried an, convicted separately, the former ol August 20, 1913, and the latter O. September ,, 1913. Their cases wer Consolidated and affirmed March IS 1915, by the Ninth circuit court. h the supreme court all three case were advanced, both sides desirin; early settlement of the disputed ques tions, and argued together in Novem be-. 1916, Assistant Attorney Genera Wallace representing the governmen and former Senator Bailey of Texas Marshall B. Woodworth of San Fran cisco and Harry 0. G}asser of Enid Okla., the defendants.
 Upon the supreme courts decision future prosecutions under the Man, act are dependent, including severa persons under indie ment and await ing trial, including Jack Johnson. tn negro pugilist, convicted at Chicago :l 1913. Johnson now is fugitive fron justice in Europe.
