DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are
of untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application OF its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that
it is as necessary to attend to inter-
nal sanitation Of the drainage sys-
TEN of the human body as it is to
the drains OF the house.
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, can, instead,
feel as fresh as a daisy by opening
the sluices of the system each morn
ing and flushing out the whole OF
the internal poisonous stagnant
matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick OF
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste
sour bile and poisonous toxins
thus cleansing, sweetcning and puri
fying the entire alimentary cana
before putting more food into The
stomach. The action of hot watei
and limestone phosphate on al
empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. 1t cleans out all tn,
sour lamentations, gases, vast,
and acidity and gives one a splen
did appetite for breakfast. Whil
you are enjoying your breakfas
the phosphated hot water is quietl,
extracting large volume Of waite
from the blood and getting read,
for thorough flushing of all tn
inside organs.
The millions Of people who ar
bothered with constipation, biliou
spells, stomach trouble, rheumati
stiffness; others who have salloy
skins, blood disorders and sickl
complexions are urged to get
quarter pound of limestone phoso
phate from the drug store. Thi
will cost very little, but is sufficien
to make anyone pronounced Gran
on the subject Of internal sanitation

Louisville, Ky, Feb. d. - (By
MaiD.-An old hea-bitten, hammer
headed, ewe-necked bell mare, slow
ly picking her way across the corral
at the remount station at Camp
Zachary Taylor followed by a long
string of mules walking in single
file, heads down and ears wagging,
served as illustration for an officer
attached to the big cantonment who
had just finished remarking that
"horse nature and mule nature and
human nature were mighty con-
trary things anyway you take
them"
"Now, take those mules" he said.
"The education of a pack mule is
a thing that must be begun early.
He has just two purposes in life,
One is to carry 225 pounds day
after day patiently and uncomplain-
ingly and the other is to follow the
bell mare Of the train, regardless OF
where that animal may go. Well,
there is in that corral an illustra-
tion of the effectiveness OF our
training. The old mare has started
after a drink of water and there
goes every dad-blasted one Of those
fool mules after a drink OF water.
Investigation revealed that the
pack mite is not the only member
of his family that has peculiaritieS
that can be played upon or must be
humcred. 1t was learned that the
larger mules, once teamed up or
paired, must thereafter be worked
together if each is not to suffer a
loss in efficiency. Two strange
mules will not work together any
thing like so well in the beginning
as they will a few weeks later after
they have become well acquainted
and then il they are separated the
whole process must be gone Over
with again.
The government requires three
types of mules; anirlals that weig!
from 1,l5O to 1850 pounds fo'
wheel mules; mules that weigh
from $50 pounds to l,l50 for leads
and the little Aat-backed, short-bod
led mule which may weigh almos
anything under $50 provided he ha
the legs to hold up the 225 pound
he is supposed to carry.
In this connection, it might b.
remarked that the comparative diff
ference in the quality Of horses an,
mules observed in the stables of tn
different units at Camp Zachar
Taylcr and in the corrals of the re
mount depot furnishes an eXcellen
illustration of the effects of tn
world war on the supply of sue
animals held in this country.
The country has been combed 70
horses and good animals which ap
parently are difficult to obtair
When the good animal term
used. it means a cavalry horse tru
to type conformation and havin
the ability to carry weight. 1t
true some fine animals are to b
seen among the horses now obtair
ed by the army, and the proportio
of good artillery horses is fairl
high, but even the casual observe
can note the difference between til
generally high quality of mules an
the ordinary quality OF horses.
The horse and mule are not use
INTERCHANGEABLE by the army. Their,

COVERED BY THE ABOVE CERTI-
FICATION $sso.s1 OF YOUR MONEY
HAD BEEN STOLEN.
When you go to pay your taxes this
fall remember the $4,000 of your mon
ey that was allowed TO leak out of the
state treasury and when you go to the
polls on November 5th remember
Chas. H. Leckenby, the fearless. cap
able official who insists upon business
methods in handling the peoples
money.
Don't you think 1t is worth while to

the Herald told what was said
against them, and what they
cl, imed for themselves. and clos
ed by saying we weren't afraid of
the farmers of Baca county, or
of the state, or of the whole
country.
That was fair and candid. We
believe that if the farmers want
to organize in a league that that's
both their privilege and their
business-indeed tn ey should
have been organized long ago.
To be Called in their Order
The county clerk is ex-officio a
member of the war hoard. We
believe the ranks Of the first reg
istrants Of Class should be de.
pleted 6rst, Class 1 of the second
registrants next, and SO on, each
being called in his regular order.
The Springfield herald., 1918-10-25

If you know of anyone that for
any reason you don't want placed
in Class 1if he belongs there, or
being-in Class l you don't want
called in his regular order, don't
vote. for KoAkel for on the war
board lex officio member)-'cause
it won't work that way.

If elected we will be in the

Helping to Win the.War

At this that is trying
mems souls" we doubt the Wis.
dom of any farmer trying to
break into town and thus the
government losing out in an in.
dustry upon which not only our
boys over there but the entire
allied army depends.
Think for a moment Of the re.
suit if the farmers all over the
United States were to quit their
posts and move to town.
The War Industries board has
sent out this order to employers:
Don't employ an able-bodied
man to fill any place that can be
filled equally as well by women,
old men or others physically dis
qualified for work or service
when you..can get them."
In order to conserv. this man
power to enable the farms to
back the boys over there, the
Herald made a special effort to
find women 10 fill most of the
county Offices on the democratic
ticket, and advised the republi.
cans to do the same.
When Miss Gertrude Johnston
withdrew from the ticket, the
boys came to the editor of the
Herald and unfeelingly said:
you're no good for anything
else-we want you on the ticket
for county clerk. You can be
elected, and that will save two
mighty good robust farmers for
farm work."
That's tl,e how of the editor of
the Herald being on the ticket,
the challenge of you're no good
for anything else" beinA the de-
Gliding factor.
So here Wa are-putting the
whole thing up to the voters in
the November elections, are ask.
ing their support regardless Of
party, and promise If elected to
strive to make the same success
of the county clerks Office that
we have endeavored to make of
the Great County Builder.
Thanking 'you'ir advance for all
favors, am,
Yours for winning the war,

1t was Charles H. Leckenby. present

MILLIONS f. WAR
WORK FOR STATE
DEMOCRATS HAVE INDUCED GOV
ERNMENT TO HELP EVERY
INDUSTRY IN COLORADO.

Really, isn't it to bad that Uncle
Sam hasn't installed submarine|
base somewhere along the rushing
Platte-or shipbuilding plant in one|
of the many harbors of Yankee Doodle|
lake?
Then the Republican millionaire job
hunters might have been satisfied and
have had some of their ingrowingl
crouch appeased.
For Phipps. Steel truster. and|
Shoup, oil magnate, seem vastly cast
down because Colorado has not re-
ceived sufficient war contracts and
war recognition" And this is printed
merely In the hope that the G. o. p.
spirits may once more be brought TO
point where the elephant can sit up
and partake of bodily nourishment.
OF course. Phipps and Shoup. reclin-
ing at ease in their own drawing
rooms. would not know what really
has been done by Democratic hustlers.
And the other Republican candidates,
who certainly could know no more
than their leaders, could hardly be in.
formed. So here are the facts:
Colorados minerals have been pur-
chased In huge quantities and for mil
lions of dollars by Uncle Sam.
Colorado's surplus farm products
all of them-have been taken over by
the government at good prices. Don't
you remember how your Uncle Samuel
came along, bought up the pinto bean
crop, advertised 1t, told people how to
cook 1t, induced the soldiers to eat 1t?
And you know that right now the gov
ernment is crying for more and more
production.
Colorado's factories-every one that
could turn a wheel-have been crowd
ed with government orders, and have
been asked to give over private cor
tracts in favor OF federal work.
Why, even steel and oil, the things
in which Phipps and Shoup have their
financial holdings and their hearts,
have had their run in this state so far
as Colorado could undertake such
things.
Fort Logan, formerly d mere recruit
ing station, has been enlarged until 1t
has almost risen to the dignity Of
,cantonment. And the recuperation
camp near Denver has cost the govern
ment millions of dollars. 1t is the one
permanent camp of the sort in the
country, and will be used long after
| the war Is over. 1t will bring thous.
ands of people to Colorado, and these
people will spend their thousands.
( All this means millions of dollars to
Colorado and her people. Everybody
is busy. Everybody is working who
wants work-except Phipps and
Shoup. And if they would go abroad
more and mingle to a greater, extent
with busy people they too would be-
come enthusiastic.
Democrats like Shafroth, lyman,
Leckenby, Noland. Hubbard, Mrs.
Bradford, Barnard, Judges White and
Hill have done this work quietly but
effectively-so quietly in fact that the
news has not yet trickled into the
drawing rooms of the rich.

cottonwoods and willows now are
to see groves of trees on the
premises of every farmer In the
county; to see everybody inde-
pendent, prosperous, happy ana
smiling; and a string Of etceteras
too numerous to mention.
Platform
Editorially speaking, we don't
know any reason why a man run
ming for justice of the peace
shouldn't have certain economic
views and give expression to
them.
But he doesn't make any
laws"
No, and neither would man in
the legislature make any laws if
he were without ideas: and a sack
of peanuts would in that case be
Just as well in his seat
Do you know Tom lyman?
Well. Tom appropriated part of
of the Herald doctors's program
in the announcement Of his can
didacy before the primaries. That
was good of MIR. lyman, and we
believe it will insure his election
by an overwhelming majority.
There is one plank in that
platform W. want to euphasiza-
state to mine it's own ceal from
its own land, instead of leasing
it's lands to skin-flint corpora
tions for pro6teering.
Teachers Normal
There is home planl. we want
to add-important to the teach
ers and schools OF Baca above ev-
erything else.
Our county teachers normal
funds are all sent out of the coun-
ty-to support district normal,
composed of Baca and five other
counties.
Last year We believe five Baca
teachers attended tie district
normal, and this year We believe
not one was in attendance. Cause
cost is too great. That normal
fund hence ought to be kept in
Baca county to build up a normal
at home for our own teachers. in
stead of building up school else
where for somebody else's teach
|ers.
Fair Play
We want to emphasize this
particular olank. When the Non
partisans came into the county
