DRINK HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and
 are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up with coated tongue, foul breath or a dull dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise await ing you.
 Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and 30 feet of intestines all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and puri- flying the entire a1imentary canal.
 Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning in side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthusi- astic and keep it up daily.
 Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos- phate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteIess.-Adv.

Preparation the Issue,
 Is Cheradame's View

Washington, Dec. Andre Chera- dame, eminent French publicist and leader of the school which contend ed that the war would be won in the Balkans, visited the State Depart ment and met leaders of the Senate yesterday.
 Because he has been so generally correct in his predictions of the trend of world events and because he has studied at first hand the many races and nations concerned in the ! reconstruction pending in Europe his views of the coming conference at Versailles were received with deep | interest
 Discussing the questions of primary l importance to come before the con- ference M. Cheradame said: 1 America does not yet realize the great costs of the war. It is for this reason her citizens show little inter- est in the questions of reparation which today are heard on every side in European countries. The cost of the war has been great for America hut far greater for the Allies. And Germany must pay these costs. If she does not pay the costs we have lost the war.
 "It is because there are idealistic views in circulation and because feel that a lasting peace is possible only by the enforcement of practical busi- ness measures, that I feel the ques- ton of reparation, it's extent, it's terms and the measures by which it shall | ha 10 aCt question to be faced at the opening of the peace conference.
 "As for the questions involved ir the geographic changes contemplated there will of course be differences But there is no indication that such differences cannot be readily ad- justed.
 q believe Britain will take the German colonies; except perhaps one which adjoins French territory if South Africa. I think the French will get that territory.
 'I believe there is little doubt tha ConstantinopIe will be international ized and the port made free to al nations.
 q am convinced the Czecho-Sla1 republic will stand. They are very smart people and will obey the law' of their country.
 "The Russian situation Is not clear To my mind it will be best for Allied troops to enter Russia from every gateway and bring about the restora ton of law and order. There is nc desire on the part of any nation tt exploit Russia. But it is necessar! to all nations that peace and a strons government be established in Rus sia."

Will Report Tax Bill
 To Senate Tomorrow

Washington, Dec. 4-The revenue bill will be reported to the Senate o1 Thursday, Senator Simmons announc- ed after a conference of the members of the Finance Committee yesterday.
 The committee received the revised print of the bill and spent the after noon checking up the changes made by the committee since the bill was re- ceived from the House. About one- third of the bill was canvassed.
 Senator Simmons has decided upon no program for the consideration Of the bill by the Senate, although he has been assured that the opposition of the Republican Senators will make it impossible to have the bill passed at the present session.
 It is highly probable that the bill will be submitted to debate and that as the end of the session draws near it will drop out of sight, no effort be- ing made to bring it to a vote. A resolution re-enacting the present law, with the adoption of an 8 per cent tax on war profits, will be put through both Houses with little or no opposi- ton, and the revenue bill will be put up to the new Congress in which the Republicans will have a majority

LACK OF FOOD IS SERIOUS IN NORTH
 OF EUROPE

MT. Hoover, Connecticut's Federal Food Administrator, Robert Scoville' and other expert observers of the world food situation are unanimous in the belief that nothing will stabilize the governments of the peoples just liberated from the Prussian yoke so quickly as the receipt of sufficient food supplies to save them from starvation. MT. Hoover has said that famine IS the mother of anarchy and as a prac- tical measure has pointed out the Wls- dom of the American people out or their savings supplying the people or France, Belgium, Italy, Serbia and other countries
 Already it is known that tons Of foodstuffs are racing to reach north ern Russia before the Baltic Sea be- comes ice bound. MT. Hoover feels that regardless of heroic measures adopted, millions of innocent victims in northern Russia will starve to death the coming winter
 In observing this week as "Conser- vation Week for World Relief" Tues day has been set aside for community meetings and addresses; Wednesday for special meetings of all women 1 organizations and Friday for speclal l exercises in schools and colleges. The
 women's organizations are asked to adopt a pledge to prevent waste and
 the selfish use of food reserves.
 As to feeding the enemy peoples and certain neutral nations, MT. Hoover l e+o 1onthinR Ot l the sort will be done until the situa-
 ton has been carefully examined. AS 1 to the claim that food is already being sent into Germany and Austria, the l Food Administration explains that not | one ounce has been sent across the l border line except the small amour, that has been taken in by American Red Cross workers to feed American
 prisoners and refugees.
 If. after careful investigation, MT Hoover and his advisers believe thai 1 the enemy lacks certain essentia 1 foodstuffs which are imperative fol
 the stabilization and maintenance o1 government and thereby necessary fol 1 the payment of whataver indemnitie!
 may be imposed as a penalty for de | SIruCLlOn- anu OuIIdSGS III dlCS dHl Belgium it is probable that the enemy
 will be permitted to buy at regular 1 market prices the necessary food
 stuffs. In other words, as one foo( administration official explains, it i!
 merely a case of feeding a horse 1 which will make money for us if ht
 lives, but which,. if starved because
 of previous bad habits, would die ant be a total loss.

HOLLwEG SAYS KAISER LIES

Basic, Dec. 4-The North German Gazette of Berlin, the former German semi-official organ, publishes an in- terview with Dr. von Bethmann- Holl- weg, once Imperial German Chancel- Tor, protesting energetically against the former German Emperor's state ment as related by the German jour- nalist, Dr. Georg Wegener.
 According to the statement imme- diately prior to the war the then Emperor was sent on a cruise in Nor wegian waters in order not to be con- nected with the events which precipi- tated the world conflict Dr. von Behthmann-Hollweg absolutely denies that this was the object of the voy- age.

ADDITIONAL HON
ORS FOR GARRETT

Press dispatches a few days ago
conveyed the information that Rep
resentative Garrett is to succeed the
late Congressman Jones, Of Virginia,
as head of the committee on insular
affairs. Commenting on this ap-
pointment of our esteemed fellow
town man, the Nashville Banner
says:
Garrett is one of the strongest
members of the house and has well
earned the honors that have come to
him."
The Banner says much in few
words in this editorial. And what
the Banner says and the appointment
of Garrett as chairman of this most
important committee carries out
what the Enterprise has frequently
said in supporting Mr.. Garrett for
re-election-thatt the support accord
ed him by the Enterprise was not
alone prompted by home ties, but
principally because he is man of
great ability. We have said he was
man of extraordinary ability be-
cause the facts warrant it. His rec
ord as a congressman proves it, and
the important committee assignments
he has been given go to show that
the great men in the national con-
gress recognize in him a man above
the ordinary congressman.
Briefly, these are the main reasons
the Enterprise has supported Gar
rett.

100000 FRENCH
KILLED IN BATTLE
Tadeu Declares More than One Hundred
Thousand are Wounded or Captured
By the Germans.

New York, April 23,-France, in
four years of conflict to preserve
her own liberty and that of the world
according to Ange Tardieu, French
high commissioner to the United
States, has lost 100000 men killed
and almost as many wounded or pris-
oners. The high toll exacted by the
war was made public by the noted
French envoy today in an address at
meeting Of the "Fatherless Children
of France" association.
Praising the work of the organi-
cation which already has raised more
than $2,000,0O0 in behalf of $4,000
French war orphans, and stating that
the French government has adopted
1000, 900 children bereft of fathers,
M. Tardieu declared that German
propaganda could not counterfeit
the fact, we'll known in America,
that "alf our hearts are united in a
common affection"
"When men are dying" he said
"their one last thought is for their
children. In close communion with
the trials and aspirations of our peo-
pie you have given peace of mind to
thousands of dying heroes. For
having conceived this great, good and
human work you have won forever
the affection and gratitude of all
Frenchmen. 1t is with deep emo
ton that | bring you their thanks. "

We close our eyes and try to see
How sweet and kind the nurse will be
And pray she does what skill requires,
With the gentle touch that love de-
sires.
No inquisition could torture more,
No liquid fire could torture pour,
AS the mother heart endures today
With her boy in battle far away,
And yet no woman wants her son
To leave his part in life undone,
For wisdom lets her not forget,
Heart break is easier than regret.

END STOMACH TROUBLE,
GASES OR DYSPEPSIA
"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick, sour,
gassy stomachs surely feel fine
in five minutes.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, or you belch gas and eructate
sour, undigested food, or have a feeling
of dizziness, heartburn, fullness, nausea,
bad taste in mouth and stomach head
ache, you can get relief in five minutes
by neutralizing acidity. Put an end to
such stomach distress now by getting a
large ffty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to suffer
from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stom-
ach disorder caused by food fermentation
due to excessive acid in stomach.

WOUNDED IN FRANCE.

Wounded in France hero lies,
Far away from his native skies,
Beyond the reach of mothers hands,
The healing touch that understands !;
By prayer and faith alone we can
The awful breadth Of ocean span,
And send across on spirit waves
The sympathy that suffering Graves
But through the cloud of dark despair
The thought of the Red Cross lover
there"
A sooting ray of comfort sends
Into the heart of home and friends.

$4,000 BOND FOR
WHISKEY HAULER

Aldinger, the Memphis booze trans
porter caught at Sharon last Deem
Der by Claud Nowlin, and who was
called out on his bond of $1,000
some days ago in circuit court here,
was arrested in Paducah last week
at the instance of Sheriff LaFon
and brought to Dresden last Thurs
day night.
Aldinger was arraigned before the
court Friday morning, the charge
against him being that of giving a
bad check. When Aldinger and his
confederates were in Jail here last
December they employed Col. L. E.
Holiday to represent them, giving
their check for $3.50 for attorneys
fee. This check was turned down
by the Memphis bank, and Aldinger
was indicted by the last grand jury.
1t was known that he made frequent
trips to Paducah, and Sheriff LaFon
had the chief of police at Paducah ar
rest him there last week.
The court placed Aldinger under
a $4,000 bond each in two cases
the bone dry case and the bad check
case, and his case is set for hearing
on Monday of next week when, it
is understood, Ralph Davis, Mem
phis' most noted criminal lawyer,
will appear here.
Judge Jones is letting these Mem
phis booze haulers understand that
they can't haul their mean liquor
over Weakley county's splendid roads
without helping to pay for the roads.
