Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat we'll, digest we'll, work well, sleep well, look we'll. What a 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, split ting headache, stuffy from a 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 stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with teashoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestble 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 wonder fully invigorating It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracting large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallowskins, blood disorders and sickly compleXions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject of in- | ternal sanitation.

INDIANA GOES DRY.
By John C. Williams.

The liquor business has received an- other severe blow and from very un- expected source. Matters have been going from bad to worse with King Alcohol past few months and the out look is gloomy indeed.
 Neither the temperance nor the liquor forces had calculated on Indiana going dry for long time, and in fact, they all regarded this state as being secure for whiskey. Both sides are asking "How did it happen" and many answers have been given. There is a culmination of causes and all had hand in bringing about this un- expected result. The w. c. T. U., Anti-Saloon League and other noble and earnest workers did much to bring Indiana around on the dry side but one factor, not usually counted as being among the causes, was quite potent in bringing about this good result. Gov. Goodrich, the new leader in Indiana politics, has peculiar re- cord as Sunday school teacher and for over 15 years has had great class in his church, and though in active business and political life has not missed half dozen times from being present in these 15 years and at times has travelled over 100 miles to meet his class and attend the services of the church. Now, the liquor people did not see where the votes would come from to despoil them as the women could not vote in the majority of wet states, but they had not been attending Sunday school and church services very much lately or they would have made discovery. For many years the churches have had a regular temperance lesson in the Sun day school course and silently great impressions have been made upon the scholars and teachers on the evils of intemperance and they saw with de- testation that strong drink was at the bottom of the greater part of the poverty, disease and crime of this country. There are about fifteen mil lion scholars in the American Sunday schools learning these temperance les sons and at least one-half are boys and men and they become citizens at the rate of about one million a year. Now these new citizens have been trained by the church, the ancient enemy of the saloon, and when they come to vote they become a dangerous foe to the whiskey cause.
 It was but natural then, as Gov. Goodrich came into power that he would seek to give a wound to his old enemy and he soon rallied the mem- bers of the legislature who had had Sunday school training and they sim ply proceeded to give King Alcohol thrust under the fifth rib which sent ! him weltering to defeat. There is dismay in the camps of the wet forces IS they now realize that the church is training the voters. legislators, gover- nors and presidents in her Sunday schools and that these will come with hatred in their hearts against the drink evil and will strike it down at first opportunity. What has happened in Indiana will also take place in other supposedly strongholds of the liouor forces. They can read their doom in the Sunday schools of the land which turn out million voters a year against them.

Rome-The fashionable crowd at the
cafe in the Corso Umberto were gazing
up at the huge screen on the building
opposite, where pictures of celebrities
Sonnino, Joffre, Wilson, Lloyd George
were being thrown on the screen. 1t
is the chief diversion these hot after
Moons. Joffre was popular, and Will
son had his admirers. Then came a
picture of a man with a great beard.
This caused tremendous laughter. But
the climax of approval came when the
picture of a thin faced man with a
workman's cap on his head was thrown
on the screen. There was huge ova-
ton for this strange face.
And who is the man with the
beard? ?" asked the American visitor.
"Why, that is Maffle. Is it possible
you don't know Maffle?"
"And who is the man in the work
mans cap"
'That is the carpenter Tordeli. You
don't mean to say you haven't heard of
Tordelli! They are the great Italian
characters of the day."
Maffle is member of the Italian
chamber of deputies who made Il
speech in favor of peace, saying it was
really not to Italy's interest to carry
on the war. Tordelli was for war and
felt that the peace speech must be re-
buked. He accordingly waylaid Maffie
on the tramway as he came from the
chamber. Maffie had an enormous
beard, which was his pride and best
known characteristic. AS Maff1e step
ped on the car Tordelli deftly operated
a pair of scissors before the surprised
deputy knew what was happening.
Then, with a shock of beard in his
hand, Tordelli disappeared, while Maj
fie was left beardless.
Tordelli was arrested, and his trial
soon began. All Rome became inter-
ested. The question of peace and war
divided sentiment into two camps. All
Italy awaited the fate of the carpenter
He produced the beard at the trial, and
it was duly entered by the court as an
exhibit. Tbereupon Maffle applied for
the return of the beard but the court
held it had been separated from him
and was now in possession of the state
Tordelli suddenly became popular

Woman's Work.

During the spring. economy In
buying potatoes was necessary, both
because OF price and to be sure of suf-
ficient seed AS a result of the earn
est plea for increased production,
many gardens and many acres OF po-
tatoes were planted. We must now
use all the potatoes we can and cor
rect, 30 far as we can, the former
tendency to leave potatoes off our
menus. This for two reasons: first,
that farmers who responded so large
ly to the governments appeal may
not find their crops a loss, and thus
fail to plant large crops next year;
second, that we may make potatoes
as far as possible a substitute for
wheat which we are asked to save
for the army. Housewives should see
that potatoes form an important part
of the diet and use them in making
bread and cake. Government bulle-
tins tell how to make potato flour,
that can be used In many ways. II
you do not have the bulletin, write to
Washington State College, Pullman.
for the information.
Already thoughtful women are
thinking of the men, who will be in
the trenches at Christmas and plan
ming that they shall have touch OF
Christmas even there. The Christ
mas packages will contain articles
that will be appreciated by men far
from home and home comforts. These
must be in Washington early in Octo-
Der in order to reach the men in
France by Christmas. For further in
formation write Mrs. John M 'Fadon,

With the need for knitting many
thousands of socks for the men who
do trench work, it becomes necessary
to save both time and labor To this
end, knitting machine is very de-
sirable thing. In lany communities,
number Of women go in together
for the purchase of machine. The
legs of the socks are knitted on the
machine and the feet finished by
hand. This greatly expedites the
work; one machine can keep many
hand knitters busy. Address the
Gearhart Knitting Machine, Clearfield,
Pa The price is $500. A 72needle
machine is recommended.

of men requiring minor operations

their county council who will take
suitable action on all questions.

back to their respective counties,
thereby involving unnecessary ex-
