Lyndon Postmastcr's Home.

Usage City Kan, May 3.-Next to
the war the people of Usage county
are talking most about 100-pound
sack of sugar DR.. r. H. Miles. post
master at Lyndon, returned to a store
where he got it. The return was made
upon request of H. c. Sticher admin
istrator for Usage county under the
United States food administration.
A meter reader for the municipal
electric company at Lyndon was the
volunteer secret service man who re-
ported the sack. AS the meter reader
was inspecting and reading meters as
a main issue, he served his country as
q side line by inspecting FAMILY larders
whenever meter was conveniently
located in the pantry. This meter
reader knew all about what was on
hsnd in the homes of both the rich
and poor of Lyndon. When he dis
covered the sack of sugar in the post
masters home he made haste to tell
Administrator Sticher.
The administrator Investigated. The
postmaster readily admitted he had
the sugar. but said he simply was stor-
ing it at the request of a grocer in
Lyndon, who lacked storage space in
his place of business. Sticher said the
storing of the sugar in a private home
was entirely improper and space was
provided Immediately at the store.
The sack has been opened and is
being sold in 5O-cent lots to all Gus
toners

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAlSY-TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
, phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons-

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best. day in and day out,
Just try inside-bathing every morning
for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glas.. of raj hot water with a tea
spoonfL, of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and 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 in
vigoratirg. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases and acidity and
gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that. Those who are subject to con-
stipation, bilious attacks, acid stom-
ach, rheumatic twinges. also those
whose skin is sallow and complexion
pallid. that one week of inside-bath
ing will have them both looking and
feeling better in every way.-Adv-

MUSINGS BY THE WAY.

We often hear of people who take
delight in the misfortune of others.
With us it is a business to handle such
matters, particularly when the unfor-
tunate is arrested for some crime is
it our business to write it up. 1t is a
matter of news, not of delight with
US.
Sometimes it seems TO happen. that
those who seemingly take delight IN
the misfortunes of others, get in
wrong and are arrested. We have
heard of such, and of publicity given,
and then have heard of such people
bewailing the fact that they mad been
singled out for publicity.
1t seemingly had never penetrated
their mind that if they had not done
something in violation Of laws and or
dinances, that they would not have
been arrested. Yet they blame the
publications for publicity given them.
Publicity which is the direct result of
their OWL deeds and actions. Blame
properly placed would be upon them
selves.
