Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no consti- patton, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must batne on the in side like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast eacl day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire ailmen- tary tract before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except sourish twinge which is not unpleasant Drink phosphated hot tenn of these vile poisons and toxins also to prevent their ormation.
 To feel like young folks feel like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac- emulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els 9dVt

l. 5. DEBT FIVE
 TIMES AMOUNT
 BEFORE THE WAR
National Indebtedness Big, but Only Third of
 What Is to Come.

Washington, Ian. 1-The United States entered the new year with a national net debt of $5,G1 , .000 .OG0, more than five times greater than when t entered the war nine months ago, but only one-third Of the debt which promises to develop by the first Of next year.
 Thc debt per capita is about S51 and the percentage of debt to estimated national wealth is l2 per cent.
 The treasury financial summary statement issued today for the first time since last June 30. shows that actual disbursements during the first half of the fiscal year have fallen far below tne estimates, particularly for the military establishment An enor- nous prospective increase in war de partmcnt expenses, for munitions and material contracts to be filled in the spring will raise the government out lays at that time. but officials feel some doubt that ordinary disburse- ments will reach the $t2.316, ,0O0 900 estimated for the fiscal year ending June 30
 The actual outlay for the military establishment up to December 1 was $1 ,3ll 000, GOO; the estimated outlay for the whole fiscal year is $S,790 ,000,- o00. The navy spent $426,0Oo,000 and the estimate for the year is $1,300,- 00o,o00 Shipping board expenditures $1lS,o#o.0o0, while the years estimate is $90l 900 ,O00. Each of these three principal departments has outstanding contra 2ts for which big expenditures will have to be made within the re- maining half of the fiscal year. how ever, and the aggregate of these is the uncertain element which makes it i'm possible to determine at this time precisely how many additional liberty bonds must be issued between now and next June 90.
 Great as the national debt seems to this country, whose debt before the war was only little past the billion dollar mark, it is only about one fourth that of either Great Britain France, Russia or Germany. The debt of all of America's -belligerents is about $S4,O0a. 100000, or IA per cent of the estimated wealth of these nations and the Teutonic allies debt is about

Hundreds of others were convicted in various courts, but received jail sentences or fines. or both. A ajority of the 12S men sent to the penitentiary for sell ing liquor were given one-year sen tences. while others were sentenced to two years imprisonment.

DOUBLE PRIMARY
 ADOPTED AT BISON

RisOn, Dec. 31.-.At a rathef breezy session Saturday, lasting several hours, in chilly court room, the Cleveland county Democratic central committee adopted the double pri- mary system of nominating candi- dates for county offices
 Fhe meeting was called on petition of number of candidates urging an early primary, on the theory that the regular primary in May would work hardship on the farmers of the country and would make it practi- cally impossible for the candidates themselves to make a crop the com ing season and properly look after their political aspirations. It was therefore ordered by the committee that an eliminating primary be held on February 20, and that the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for each office run on in the regular legal primary in May
 A peculiar feature of the resolution adopted, provides that the two high est candidates for each office run over in the May primary, regardless of the number of candidates for that particular office. Therefore, where there are only two candidates for any office in the county, the two will have the pleasure of fighting it out in two distinct primaries.
 Dr. A. E. Robertson was unani- mouslv reelected chairman of the committee and Matt May was elected secretary to succeed Col J. T. Rem froW who annOuuced that 10 UouI1 be candidate for circuit clerk.
