red Cuban soil was exposed the trav-
elers sank into 1t as into wet putty.
Crossing a rocky ridge, O'Reilly and
his guide at last emerged upon an
open slope, knee-high in grass and
grown up to bottle palms. those queer,
distorted trees whose trunks are swol-
len into the likeness of earthen water
jars. Scattered here and there over
the meadows were the dead or fallen
trunks of another variety, the cabbage
palm, the green heart Of which had
long formed staple article of diet for
the insurrectos. Spanish axes had
been at work here and not a single
tree remained alive. The green floor
OF the valley farther down was dotted
with the other, the royal kind, that
monarch of tropic vegetation which
lends to the Cuban landscape it's pc
culiar and distinctive beauty.
''Yonder is the camino," said the
countryman, pointing into the valley !;

smile and wave of the hand the man
turned back and plunged into the
jungle.
As O'Reilly descended the slope he
realized keenly that he was alone and
in hostile territory. The hills and the
woods from Pinar del Rio to Oriente
we're Cuban, or, at most, they were
disputed ground. But here in the
plains and valleys near the cities Spain
was supreme. From this moment on
O'Reilly knew he must rely entirely
upon himself. The success of his en-
terprise-his very life-hinged upon
his caution, his powers of dissimula-
ton, his ability to pass as a harmless,
helpless pacif1co. 1t gave him an UNI

GREATER SAVING IN
WHEAT CONSUMPTION

Washington, Mar. 25.-The fol-
lowing new conservation message
and program was given out by the
United States food administration
today.
IF we are to furnish the allies
with the necessary proportion OF
wheat to maintain their war bread
from now until the next harvest and
this is a military necessity we must
reduce our monthly consumption oi
21,OOO,0O0 bushels as against our
normal consumption OF about Az
00O,OO bushels, or so per cent of
our normal consumption. Reserv-
ing a margin for distribution to the
army and for special cases leaves
for general consumption approx
mately one and one-half pounds Of
wheat products weekly per person.
Many Of our consumers are de-
pendent upon DakerS Dredu. OUCH
bread must be durable and therefore
requires a larger proportion oi
wheat products than cereal breads
baked in the household. Our army
and navy require full allowance
The well-to-do in our population can
make greater sacrifices In the con-
sumption OF wheat products than
can the poor. In addition, our pop
ulation in the agricultural districts,
where the other cereals are abun-
dant, are more skilled in the pre-
paration Of breads from these other
cereals than are the people in the
crowded city. and the industrial pop
ulation. 4

Dallas. Tex. Mar. 25.--while
some exemption boards have been
weighing the claims Of objectors to
military service who had revived
long forgotten dependents. at least
two Texans willing to serve have re-

Where Civilization Started.

The lacustral settlements were
places Of refuge for q pastoral and
agricultural people and the light and
dryness that chare cterized the dwell
ings show q step In advance toward
more permanent abodes. In this pc
riod science places the beginning Of
civilization.
By these lacustrine men spinning
and weaving were invented. Agricul-
ture was born among them; animals
were domesticated--the OK, the COW,
the sheep. the goat, the dog. The
uses of metal were discovered and the
age Of iron was ushered In.
Habitations similar to these still ex-
list in the East Indies and among the
American tribes OF Maracaibo. They
existed also In Lake Prasias, In
Thrace, during the time Of Herodotus,

HUN GUN ONLY GOOD
FOR FIFTY AR|NGS

New YORK. Mar. 25.---ln order 70
get fairly accurate description Of
the 's.s-inch gun with which The
Germans are shelling Paris. reports
consulted today one OF the most
noted ordnance experts In the world.
After carefully reading the cable
grams from Paris this man said that
there seemed to be no longer any
reason to doubt that the Germans
had succeeded In constructing a
monster gun with range Of 70
miles, but he added the comfortins
assurance that II was rAathematic-
ally certain that such a gun would
be entirely useless after II had been
fired less that so times. A . gun
with a range Of rs miles has to be
refined after being fired less than
100 times. he pointed out. while
one with a range Of only 15 miles
was not good for more than 400
shots under the very best conditions
OF construction and operation. i.
This expert figured that to hre q
shell 10 miles would require muz-
zle velocity Of at least 5000 feet per
second. The gun would be fired
from an angle OF As degrees. which
means that at the halfway point
between the gun and Its target the
projectile would be travelling at an
altitude OF about 35 miles.
Furthermore. II was pointed out
that In order to obtain . 20 miles'
range gun Of at least $50 caiibers
would be required. This would
mean that the projectile would have
to travel a distance OF about 1fs
feet between the breach and muzzle
OF the weapon. or 1.42s inches; that
is. the caliber multiplied by the size
OF the shell. t
The awkwardness Of such gun
was also pointed out With a bar
rel 100 feet long the expert said that
II was practically certain that the
gun had to be built upon the spot
from which II Is fired.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS AND FEEL FRESH AS
 A DAISY-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 a 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 glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful 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- vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one 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-b bathing will have them both looking and feel ing better in every way.
