Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely 2limina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass Of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like pOisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.

baths Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime.

Those who are subject to sick head

others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter

the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject

MANY CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
GO TO TERRELL SOLDIERS
Some Have Already Been Packed and
Returned-The Red Cross VIII
Supply Cartons.

Returned-The Red Cross VIII
Supply Cartons.
If single Terrell county soldier
misses his Christmas parcel it will not
be the fault Of the local Red Cross.
Every effort has been made for weeks
to keep before the public rules gov
erning the sending of packages. Car
tons could only be given out to those
presenting the required labels. Ev-
cry soldier in the American army
was supplied with one of these to be
sent to the homefolks, and if they
failed to arrive in time it is a mat
ter of sincere regret, but situation
that could not be helped. After the
notice in the last issue of The News
announcing that the cartons had
been received many of the mothers,
wives and sweethearts secured them
at once, packed their gifts and
promptly returned them for inspec-
ton.
The government has extended the
time for mailing to November 80 and
has authorized the Red Cross to have
printed labels to supply those fami-
lies who have failed to receive the
ones distributed to the men overseas
These duplicate labels may be obtain
ed from the Red Cross chapter, pro
vided the original has not arrived by
November 81. Those in Terrell cOun-
ty interested in the above can apply
for further information to Miss An
ME Zimmerman at the Office of Col.
NJ. J Yeomans.
Labels, however, will not be ready
for distribution before November
21st, and it is hoped that the relatives
of the soldiers in Terrell county who
are with the American Expeditionary
Forces serving overseas will make an
extra effort to see that each soldier
/ receives his Christmas package.

Be Gallons of Long Sweetenin'.

THE worst thing that anybody can
l. say about the picture above is
that it illustrates a German fairy tale,
The Spirit in the Bottle The illus
tration comes straight from book called
Little Brother and Little Sister and Other
Tales by the Brothers Grimm, now pub
lished with twelve page pictures in color
by the English illustrator, Arthur Rack
ham, and with many more illustrations in
black and white, Of which the picture
shown is one.
Some say that cruelty - cruel fancies
and cruel deeds - is a pronounced char
acteristic of all German fairy stories.
This is ono of the points that has been
noted since August, 1914. 1t may well
be; We do not pretend to know; whether
ii is true or not We can quite understand
the feeling Of any one who should decline
to have his youngsters instructed in Ger

man child-lore. But in regard TO this
particular book il should be said that
the forty stories in it were chosen by
Mr.. Rackham himself and the actual
printing of the volume was done in Great
Britain, where it was published, not prior
TO 1914, but in 1917. And the pictures
are very wonderful; Rackham's always
are; and they are not in the least the
sort of pictures that German illustrator
would have made. They have the lovely
curve of line and wealth Of detail, the
note of merriment and joyous fantastical.

Hood and Sherwood Forest days.
Best take a look at the book yourself.
We can give You no adequate idea OF
the beauty of the colored plates in it.

Pathopsychological
Mr.. Beresford

THE writer of the publishers puff on
i the cover folder of J. d. Beresford's
new novel to which the author gives the
sacrilegious title of Gods Cosnterpotnf,
makes the astonishing statement that the
theme of his book is "new to fiction" Since
Books and the Book World is not a medi-
cal journal it is scarcely possible to treat
this realistic study of perverted view
point toward the processes of human re-
production with the frankness of the psy-
chopathologist in whose realm Of studies
it belongs, not that of the psychologist, rs
the jacket of the book states.
We have no intention of dilating at
length on this very common theme in
fiction, that of the unhappy results Of con
cealing from youth the natural functions
Of life which is the sum and substance Of
the story set down with wearisome and
rcpellent details. But We will say Of Mr..
Beresfords presentation that ii is false to
the core i'll its melodramatie promises of
revelations he has the courage only to hint
al, and that it is tawdrily sensational in its
commonplace plot-the eternal triangle"
Of contemporary French dramatic art.
To devote 1884 pages to picturing the
hideous mental adventures of q perverted
moral coward is as striking an instance Of
sheer waste as We can recall. And all that
Mr. Beresford can claim for his book is
that it presents one of the most ignoble
heroes in all fiction, stark and unreiicVed
by a single grace.

BILLIARD MILL SOLD
The Derby Grain Company Purchases
Old North Topeka Concern.

The old Billiard mill and elevator
in North Topeka is now the property
of the Derby Grain Company, it was
authoritatively stated at the Chamber
of Commerce this afternoon. For
more than 35 years the old Billiard
mills have been one of the landmarks
of Topeka. They were places of
refuge during the historic flood of
1908, and the long whiskered sages
of the community for long time
held forth in the shade of the build
ings.
At times in the recent history of
the city the building on Kansas ave-
nue. has been the scene of more than
one political war council. The Bill
lard mills are officially known as the
Central Mill and Elevator company.
There is a persistent rumor afloat
to the effect that the consideration
asked and received for the Central
Mill and Elevator company property
and good will was 100000.
