Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
Says we can. look or feel right with the system full
 of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system with drugs. Whats an inside bath?' you say. Well, 1t Is guaranteed to per form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts.
 There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in 1t. This is very excellent health measure. It Is in- tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet If intestines of the previous days waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad taste. colds, stomach trou- ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, i'm pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
 People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real crank on the subject of internal sanitation.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more important to bathe on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. while the bowel pores do.'

REBUILDING MILL ON
BLUE BIRD SITE

The 1000-ton capacity mill which
was bought IN the Webb City mining
district by o. NJ. Bilharz to replace
the Blue Bird No. l, which was burn
ed down some time ago, is now being
reassembled on the same spot where
the burned plant stood. This mill win
not be able 70 handle more than 600
tons a day. This is due to the fact
that the dirt here is a great deal
richer than the ore found in the old
fields.
The Blue Bird Mine is one of the
best mines in the Kansas Oklahoma
mining district and considered equal
to the Blue Mound mines. During
the operation of the old plant, in a
nine-hour shift, thirty-six tons Of
concentrates were turned out.
The land is owned in fee by the
Cooper estate and ]. o. Goodwin of
Baxter Springs and it is located
southwest of this city.

FULTON AND TATE
TO BATTLE IN JOPLIN

Fred Fulton, contender for the
worlds heavyweight championship,
and Texas Tate will 90 a 15-round
mill in Joplin at the Southwest Ath-
letic Club January 10. These two
heavy knights of the glove are pref
ty evenly matched.
Fulton has been nagging Jess Viii
lard, the worlds champion, for over
a year, but so far has not been able
to get any satisfaction out Of him,
but Willard made statement recent
" in which he declared he would fight
anyone, on one condition: That all the
proceeds of the fight must go to the
Red Cross, so this will give Fulton a
good chance at the Champion, or pos
sibly Tate, as the big old boy gave
Fulton quite G struggle at Little Rock
Ark, q few days ago when they had
a fistic argument at that place, and
really the Little Rock papers say
Tate had the best of the fight all the
way as far as it went. The fight only
went q little over two frames, when
Jimmie Haag, the third man in the
ring, stopped the fight on a foul in
favor of Tate. Fulton fouled Tate in
the first rood, but Tate wished to
fight on, so the fight was resumed
But when Fulton again fouled his OPP
ponent in the third round Haag was
compelled to stop the fight in favor
of Tate.
Jimmie Bronson of the S. w. A. C.
has a good eye for business so as not
to have the came thing happen in
Joplin that it did in Little Rock. He
had Fulton sign a contract to the eff
feet that if Fulton should foul Tate
he will lose all rights OF his share of
the proceeds, and in such case it
shall 20 to the Red Cross. So this
almost assures a good fight, as Full
ton will not want to lose his share Of
the proceeds and also his chance for
the crown Of Jess Willard, and he
will also lose out with the people if
he does any more such tricks as he
did in Arkansas.

miami ARCHITECT
GETS SCHOOL JOB
Board Makes Selection After
Examining the Competitive
Sketches from Several
Architects

BY a vote of four to one the board
of education, at a special meeting
held Monday night, selected Burt c.
Overton of Miami, to draw the plans
and supervise the construction of the
proposed new high school building,
planned to be begun as soon in the
spring rs arrangements can be made.
One member, Mr.. Boswell, was alb
sent.
Altogether the sketches Of dozen
architects we're considered. They APP
peared before the board on two diff
ferent nights. They included some OF
the most prominent school architects
in the central west, coming from Jop-
lin, Ottawa, Springfield, Wichita,
Hutchinson, Muskogee, Columbus and
Baxter Springs.
The estimated cost of the new high
school is $4,000. 1t will include q
gymnasium, manual training and do
nestle science departments, an audi
torium to seat about 700, with stage,
and about II class rooms. In every
respect it will be designed to conform
with the latest ideas in school archi-
lecture. Mr. Overton, who succeeded
in landing the job as architect, has to
his credit several good buildings in
Miami and elsewhere and is person
al friend of some of the members OF
the board who felt that he would be
sure to give the district an honest and
economical supervision Of the work.
He stated that he had not made q
speciality of school building, like some
of his competitors, but that he would
make a special business Of going out
and posting himself on the latest re-
uuirements in that line. Mr.. OvertOn
also stated that he contemplates the
opening of branch office in Baxter
Springs.

BUILDING A NEW MILL

Construction of q new concentra-
ton plant for the Doris Mining Com
pany on a lease southwest of Baxter
Springs, is under way, and the work
is featured ty the fact that the plant
is going up without the aid of blue
print, plan or single specification on
paper.
The work is being done under the
supervision Of C. L. Kelley of CRANKY
and T. o. Blackmore of Neosho. The
former is TIE construction foreman
and Blackmore is the mill carpenter.
The credit fer the unique feat Of
building q mill without putting the
plans for it on paper probably should
be equally divided between them.
Kelley has the "vision" and tells
Blaclmore what he wants and the
carpenter does the rest.
If this was the first mill ever built
Dy LnlS pdlT lneTS WOuiu NC - BOVN
many doubt as to whether it would
all come out all right or would ever
operate. About five years ago, as it
happens, the same two built a mill
for the NeoGho and CRANKY Mining
Company at Diamond, and not only
did they finish it successfully, but it
has been operating whenever the ore
market has warranted it since, and
has been giving even better results
than were promised or expected Of
it. 1t was Luilt for a 10O-tOn plant,
but as high as ESQ tons of dirt have
been handled over it in seven hours.
Work on the Doris plant has been
temporarily held up on account Of
cold weather, but it will be completed
in the near future. The company be-
lieves it has an excellent lease, there
being good dill holes to indicate The
ore body.

ed at a high rate and in two hours
after the FIRE started the entire block
was in ashes. Work was begun to
put up temporary buildings to house
the stocks that were piled out Of the

LETS CONTRACT
FOR P|CHER LINE
Southwest Missouri Extension
from Baxter Now Matter of
Only A Few Weeks, is
Thought

The contract for the construction
of curverts and bridges between Bax-
ter Springs and Pitcher, via Hooker
, vile and st. Louis was awarded re-
Gently to the Topeka Bridge Com
pany BY the Southwest Electric Rail
road Company.
There are twelve culverts to be
constructed and the men are already
busy getting ready for the work. The
Topeka Bridge company is now build
ing a camp at st. Louis for its work
men. A great deal Of material is On
the ground.
In order to hasten the construction
of the culverts Mr.. Knowels of the
Topeka Bridge Co., brought with him
a truck load of tools and other nee
essary appliances from Tulsa, Okla
He could not depend upon the rail-
roads for transportation and wanted
to be sure to start the work at an
early date.
The present move of the railroad
company to go into Pitcher puts into
effect q plan of the company an
nounced some time ago that they
were intending to 60 to the mining
field. The present indications are
that the car line is not going to stop
at Picher. 1t may circle around and
take in Tar River, Douthit, Century
Joplin and uuapaw and then come up
north through Ontario back to the
main line.
East of Baxter construction is GO
ing on as fast as practicable. The road
is graded into Baxter, ties and poles
have been distributed along the right
of way and the rails have been laid
for about a half mile this side OF
Lowell.
Supt. Pratt, who was here recently
stated that he hoped to have cars
running into Baxter by February l.
The matter IF building west from
here to Pitcher is easy compared with
the work between here and Galena'
and the line will be in operation the
entire length very early in the spring
1t will pass through almost a contin-
uous string Of mine locations from
here to Pitcher and will accommodate
fully 10000 people. The Importance
of this trade territory to Baxter
Springs is altogether too great to be
fully realized at this time.
Baxter is likely to set new record
for the rapid growth Of cities in the
United States.

STAKES LIFE
TO SAVE BROTHER
Brugger Boy Who Lost Life
Only One Who Got Into
Water by Accident
Other Jumped

Elmer Brugger, the older one Of
the two brothers who went through
the ice while skating last Sunday,
when Carl lost his life and Elmer al
most persisted, was in town yesterday
apparently hone the worse for his
terrible experience. Elmer was mod
est about relating the circumstances,
but Daily Citizen reporter succeed
ed in getting out of him the fact that
he put his LIFE in jeopardy in attempt
to save his younger brother, Carl,
was skating ahead Of Elmer and
Carl Kane, n smaller boy. Elmer
says he was about three hundred feet
behind when Carl went down. The
Kane boy was close to Carl but he
kept out of the water by sticking his
heel in the ice and swerving to one
side. Elmer Rrugger, as soon as he
saw his brothers predicament, grab
bed q piece Of grape vine that lay be-
side the creek and rushed to the aid
of his brother. The vine did not reach
however, so Elmer jumped into the
water and tried to save Carl. Carl
grabbed Elmer and both went down
and it was only by desperate effort
that Elmer got away from his broth
er. Before Elmer got to him Carl
had gone down several times. At first
he did not think himself in danger,
but when he saw he was not getting
out with his own efforts he became
excited and called loudly for help. BY
that time a number had gathered
around the banks and witnessed the
boys struggling in the water, but be-
ing young they did not appear to
have the presence of mind to devise
some means of getting the boys out
until it was zoo late to save Carl who
went down finally and did not come
up. In his efforts to save his broth
err Elmer Rrugger exhibited all the
courage that over in Europe entities
soldier to medal of honor. He was
willing to cndanger his life to save
his brother. In fact his resuscitation
after being unconscious for over two
hours, was little hoped for.

to make constant infantry "nibbles"
into the French lines on the Northern
Flank of Hill 344 and to disturb or
ganization which he could see in the
rear.
French strategy in eliminating the
enemy's advantageous positions in
the region Of Hill SS4 has probably
never been employed before in this
war. Taking advantage Of the con-
ditions peculiar to the region. French
guns Of many calibers at $50 Sunday
morning, November 25, concentrated
their deluge Of steel on three and
one-half kilometre front opposite 344.
The thunder Of this artillery prepar-
alton though violent was unnoticed
amidst the constant medly Of air
vibrations which had become a habit
to German ears for almost three
months. Just four hours after the
beginning Of the concentration Of fire,
screened by its own habitual noise,
ut 1880 q. m, the French guns
heightened their range and barraged
the German rear while the piolus
went over the top. The surprise was
complete. Victory was won in sever
al minutes. The French infantrymen
in the first waves left the taking Of
prisoners to "mopping up" units who
followed behind. The latter boarded
800 dazed Germans to the rear. En-
envy losses in dead and wounded were
heaviest. French losses, on account
of the surprise nature Of the attack
were extremely light. The advantage
ageous positions which it had taken
the enemy over eight weeks to gain
were wiped out in not much more
than eight minutes.
