l. SAYS HOT WATER
 WASHES POISONS
 FROM THE LIVER Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate in It, before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre- vent it's sponge-like pores from clog ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician.
 If you get headaches, it's your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's your liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stom- ach becomes rancid, it's your liver. SaIIow skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes all denote liver uncleanli- ness. Your liver Is the most import ant, also the most abused and neglect ed organ of the body. Few know it's function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins.
 Every man and women, sick or well. should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with q teaspoonful of limestone phos-
 phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous days indi- gestible material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweet ening and freshening the entire ali mentary canal before putting. more | food into the stomach.
 Limestone phosphate is inexpensive Any pharmacist will sell you a quar- ter pound, which is sufficient for g demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphate cleans stimulates
 and freshens the liver keeping vol I feeling fit day in and daysout.-Adv

Airplane Expert
 Predicts Use of
 Planes For Travel

London, Nov. 9-"America will be- come within reach of England in a day and a half and the time will come when an Englishman in New York will see his London paper the morn ing after its publication" said Hand ley Page, the airplane constructor, recently.
 He prophesied that immediately on the declaration of peace it would be possible to begin an air service be- tween Marseilles and London with a single stop at Paris for an overhaul and taking in gasoline. MT. Page continued:
 ''Constantinople could be reached in twenty hours, Rome in twelve and a half hours, and Marseilles in eight" he said.
 ''An 800 mile service could be run at a profit, both for mails and pas sengers, at a rate but little in excess of that at present in force.
 Aerodrones As Stations.
 q base my calculations on the use of a medium sized machine making nonstop flights of 400 miles. Each would carry 4,4OO pounds of reve- nue-earning load. There would be frst-class aerodromes at each end o1 the route, and another in the middle Second-class aerodromes would be provided every 100 miles. "A minimum service of six ma chimes each way per day could bt provided for a capital of under f5OO, 900. The annual cost would be un der f60O,00"

SOLDIERS WILL
 TAKE CARE OF PROHIBITION
Lots of Things Will Happen Says a Returned Member
 of American Army.
POLITICIANS ARE
 IN FOR CHRISTENING
Boys in o. D. Point to Rus sians Who Drank Only
 Water and Collapsed.

When the army in France gets back to America" said a newIy-re- turned soldier, in New York restaur- ant, a lot of things are going to hap pen. Principally, they'll chase the ProhIbitionists up into the high ground. That's not the only thing they'll do, because they're going to herd up lot of other politicians with the Prohlbitionists and tend to them at the same time, but they're going to tend to the Prohibitionists, sure and certain. Those fellows over there ain't fooled much on anything that's going on over here. They know all about the scheme to push nationwide prohf- b1tlon through by tacking it onto the necessary war measure, and they know all about the local elections where prohibition was showed through because the opportunity was presented while most of the men able to carry a little liquor and willing to pay for it were over in France, fighting the Ger mans. They know all about the high salaried lobbyists who have made prohibition their meal ticket for the past 10 or 15 years, and they know that a large number of local prohibi- tion movements have started in the corner saloon headquarters of some politician who was discredited or dis tressed.
 From the moment an American soldier steps his foot upon the trans port which is to take him to Europe he doesn't hear anything about prohi- hilton drinks oil vrho ha pleases and he doesn't have any trou- ble getting it. And you'll notice that the only army in Europe that turned out all wrong was the Russian army. They were drinking water You've seen what our army did They didn't do it on water. They could have done it on water, if necessary, but it isn't necessary. That's all there is to it.
 "After the war politics is going to be like it's been after every war. The soldier vote will get everything it's in favor of. Both parties will have to drop out the long-haired boys with the silver tongues and the records in Con- gress. There'n probably be a military man for President and military men in most of the other offices. Wher- ever the right military man is nomi- mated, there won't be any election. It'll merely be a case of ratification on the part of the majority of the voters. If Pershing were a candidate for President, what soldier would care whether he was a Republican or a Democrat? Which is he? I bet you don't know. I don't.
 "But the prohibition thing is the thing that the soldiers are sorest on They've seen how narrow-minded and fnsincere all the prohibition agitation really is. And while they're fighting to make the world free for democracy, they're fully able to realize that it's the farthest thing possible from a democratic idea to force a crank prin- cipIe, limiting the liberty of the indi- vidual, upon an unwilling majorty ir the exigencies of a war situation."- James M Allison in New York Day by Day."

MOHANtNIEDAN
 NEW YEARS DAY

This Is New Years Day for nearly one-seventh of the worlds popuIa- ton, and marks the beginning of the year 1897 of the Mohammedan era. The 250,000,000 followers of the Prophet use a calendar which dates from the year 622 A. D., when the Hogira or flight of Mohammed to Medina ushered in the year 1 of the Mohammedans. The founder of Islam was forced to flee Mecca, his native city, because of the persecu- tion of the defenders of the old heather faith. Had Mohammed re- mained in Mecca he would doubtless have been slain, and, while his disci- pies might have been able to perpetu- ate the faith, this is a matter of. grave doubt
 The Moslem New Year is celebrated in ways as diverse as mark the ob- servance of the Christian New Year. Just as the Christians are divided into denominations of Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics and Protestants of many varieties, so is Islam split into a multitude of sects Broadly speaking, there are two major divisions in Mo- haedanis, the Shiahs and the Sun nites Within these two great divis- ions are many sub divisions, and there are no less than TO sects to be found among the followers of the Prophet.
 The Turks represent but a small part of the Moslem world, but the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire is by courtesy the Head of the Faithful His power over the followers of Islam is today, however, very much on the wane. The "jehad" or "holy war; proclaimed by the heads of the Turk ish church had practically no effect upon the Moslems beyond the con- fines of Turkey. The Ottoman Elm pire has a population of only about 2O,OOO,OOO, and not all of these are adherents of Mohammendanism. Even in his own dominions the Sul- tan's authority was 1outed. by the Arab population south of Mecca, the holy city of the faith. While pro- fessed Mohammedans, these Arabs have for centuries opposed Turkish authority, and in the present war they have helped the British whenever possible.
 China has a third more Moslems than Turkey, but the Chinese Mo- hammedans certainly could not be in- duced to fight for the Sultan. The same is true of the nearly niney mil lions of Mohammedans in India and other British possessions in Africa, Asia and the East Indies. Among the African soldiers who have been fighting for France there are many thousands of Mohammedans, but none of them needed the Sultan's proclama- ton of a "holy war" Even Holland rules more Moslems than the Sultan of Turkey, for Queen Wilhemina's East Indian islands have nearly 25,- 900 900 followers of the Prohphet.

Refuse Admission
 of Serious Hurts

Paris, Nov. 9-Many American sol diers when treated in evacuation hos pitals refuse to admit being badly hurt even when their wounds are most serious and painful, say Red Cross workers who serve chocolate and cigarettes to them.
 Look at my. partner over there. He stopped three pills, I only got two. Serve him first Y" said one Mis- souri boy to Red Cross worker passing out hot drinks.
 Nothing the matter with me, I'm lucky, my buddy was kilIed.' an other man told a worker as she put the rubber tube into his mouth so that he could sip chocolate while ly- ing an a stretcher in a hospital train Another boy said that all he want ed was little talk with an Ameri- can girl.

FRANCE HONORS
 EDWARD VII

Edward VIII, most popular of European monarchs during his life time, especially among Frenchmen, has been honored by Parisians with almost as many monuments as Napo- leon, Voltaire and other French idols. Today is the 77th anniversary of Ed wards birth, and Frenchmen will pay tribute to his memory, for they attrl- bute to Edward VII. much of the credit for the Anglo-French entente which made Great Britain the ally of the great republic in this greatest of wars Always fond of France, Ed ward was a frequent visitor to the City of Light during his long career as Prince of Wales. As soon as he ascended the throne he began to strive for the realization of the great est of his dreams-the complete re- approchement of France and Eng land. In 1903 he paid an official visit to Paris, taking the initiative in movement designed to effect the final reconciliation of the ancient enemies. President Loubet returned the visit, and the way was thus paved for the statesmen of the two countries to en- ter into a treaty based on mutual con- sessions. While admiration for Ed ward VII. spread all over France, it is most pronounced in Paris and in the Riviera. The Place Edward VII. in Paris, which contains a monument showing the late king in military uni form mounted on his favorite horse, will be the center of today's observ- ance of his anniversary. In addition to the Place Edward VII, Paris now has a Rue Edward VII, and hotels, restaurants and theatres named after the beloved monarch. At Cannes there is a sailor statue of Edward VII, and numerous less noted monu- ments to the late King throughout the RiVeira.
