Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuIees Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead
both look and feel as fresh as a
daisy always by washing the poisons
and toxins from the body with phos-
ph1ted hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
&c to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing. sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. A
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
will cost very little at the drug store,
but is sufficient to make anyone who
is bothered with biliousness, constipa-
ton, stomach trouble or rheumatism
a real enthusiast on the subject Of
iuteTnal sanitation.

White Attacks Kansas Union
President at Convention.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 19.-The
discussion of the Washington agree
ment continued all morning and was
resumed this afternoon by the con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America John P. White, former
president of the union, and now as
sistaflt to Fuel Administrator Garfield,
consumed an hour in the defense of
the miners organization in agreeing
to the penalty clause. He hurled de-
fiance at those who opposed the agree
ment and charged that the fight
against its approval was in reality a
we'll organized attack on himself,
rather than an assault on the penalty
clause.
White arraigned Alexander Howat.
president of the Kansas miners, and
the leader of the opposition He said
there had been 270 wild Get strikes
in Kansas that had not been author

made yesterday by Howat that if he
(Howat) had had anything to do with
it. the Kansas operators would not
have been permitted to increase the
price of coal to absorb the miners

by reading a letter sent to him as
Doctor Garfield's assistant by Howat.
in which the latter appealed to White

ministrator to increase the operators

wanted to know how Howat recon

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Sweeping meas
ures to relieve traffic congestion have
only offset in part as yet advances
which took place this week in the corn
market owing to blizzard conditions
that had brought the crop movement
to virtual halt Compared with a
week ago corn this morning was 3-S
to 1-2 a SIS higher, oats unchanged

Extreme low temperatures prevail
ing counteracted temporarily to a no
tceAble degree prospects that other
wise the government coal saving
measures would clear way promptly
for more liberal arrivals of grain here
Meanwhile selling remained of a de-
'cidedly cautious sort and January de-
livery held at close to the maximum
price limit allowed.
Absence of any business with the
seaboard until yesterday was chiefly
responsible for declines in the oats
market.
Provisions advanced on account
largely of curtailment of the hog sup
ply and because of liberal orders ex-
pected from the government.
