TVS For zhedteT80erS and Women RedderS-
REVELATIONS
 OF A WIFE
How Madge Found Out Who Were
 the Men Next Door.

! Of course, Lillian was already in 1 possession of the facts concerning the ! other bizarre message sent me by the men next door, so that she needed no ! explanation of the gold coin purporting 1 to come from representatives of my l father and the imperative summons 1 for my presence at the house of mys- tery. But she studied them long and carefully.
 'I believe you said you thought that you recognized this handwriting. i Madge,'' she said at last, looking up. "I don't recognize it." I explained carefully, "although | have been upon the point of it several times. Have seen it somewhere, certainly, but where is beyond me. However, I am sure it will come to me soon, perhaps suddenly"
 'Tt would be of help to me just now" Lillian said regretfully. "But there's no use crying over spilled milk, and this is chance I mustn't miss.'
 She rose as she spoke, adjusted her dress, put involuntary smoothing hands to her hair, and, taking from her knitting bag the small pistol she carried when on dangerous missions, she thrust it into the loose folds of her gown.
 You're surely not going over there!' l gasped. as the meaning of her preparations crept through my brain.
 q most certainly am." she retorted. II want tc see that outfit for myself, and there never was a better oppor- tunity in the world than this.'
 'I am going with you," said spiritedly, rising.
 You'll do nothing of the kind" she retorted good turedly pushing me back into my chair, and I saw she was in deadly earnest. If I satisfy my self that these men are in reality rep resentatives of your father it will then be plenty of time for you to go over there, But if, on the contrary, they belong to Grace Draper's gang, on no account should you go near them. And the appearance of that Jap cer- tainly bears out your theory"--she inclined her head toward my mother in-law-"of their evil character. That fellow is a bad actor if ever there was one"
 My mother-in-law smiled compla- gently. But I was distressed indeed.
 They'll Not Harm Me"
 But don't you see, Lillian," I eX- postulated, that I cannot let you go into this danger alone for my sake"
 "Fiddlesticks, my dear,' Lillian re- turned lightly. They'll not harm me. If they're the enemy camp, they're not particularly anxious to monkey with quite so prominent a buzz saw--forgive the seeming con- ceit-as I am. But remember, Grace Draper and that scarred-h hand hench- man of hers have a personal interest in your injury, a fat grudge they would go far to feed and I'm not going to risk you anywhere again un- less I know just where you're going.
 "No child, you stay right here. I'm going now to send William for those guards. I'll give them instructions in case of an emergency, so you needn't have the slightest worry I'll just take this trinket with me"
 She picked up the tiny gold coin, but left the penciled left-handed

CANNOT RAISE
 THE PRICE Of
 VICTORY BREAD

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The new Vic tory bread, preschibed by the food administration, must be sold at the prices that now obtain for it's equiva- lent of white bread. This was made clear tonight by the food admins tration in reply to reports that bak- CTS were preparing to raise their prices on the ground that substitutes they are ordered to use cost more than white flour. The new regula- tions call for at present only a five per cent substitution of other cereals in bread making with an increasing amount until 20 per cent is reached February 24, but if they wish, bak- CTS may start the use if the higher percentage now, in fact some were reported to have begun today with the higher percentage. Telegrams today from state food administrators said the people generally will give wholehearted support to the conser- vation regulation.

BEGlN HOT WAITER
 OVERWHELMING IF YOU
 DON'T FEEL RIGMlT
Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste. bad breath and tongue is coated; if your head is dull or aching: if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stomach. or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the pOisons and toX- ins from stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and pur- ify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of tn esystem all the previous days poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach.
 TO feel like young folks feel: like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities. get from your phar- macist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except for sourish twinse which is not unpleasant.
 Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and fresnening. so hot water and lime stone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stom ach disorder should begin this in side bathing before breakfa5. They are assured they will become real cranEs on the ubject shortly

WILSON HAS NOT
 RECEIVED COPY.
 Of C1ERNIN TALK

Washington, Jan. 2S.-It was off cially stated today that President Wilson had not received 8 copy of Count Czernin's speech on Austro- Hungarian peace terms in advance or otherwise. and so far has seen only adbstracts from the address. Colonel E. M. House was caller at the white house during the day and his pres ience gave rise to speculation in con- nection with the reports from Europe that a copy of the Czernin speech had been forwarded to the president in advance of delivery. After seeing the president, however, Colonel House said while he could not discuss their conference, he could say there was no truth whatever in rumors that he was preparing to go abroad again.
 There is but one official view here of Count Czerin's action in saying his speech had been sent to the pres ident of the United States. regard less of whether such thing had been done. Reports to the state de partment today told of the breaking up of pan-German meetings by SOC ialist who are tired of the war, while other dispatches indicated that the pan-Germans are sufficiently power full to prevent the German govern ment from making amy concession from their extreme demands at Brest Litovsk and elsewhere. So in the official review here, the only feasible manner in which the German social ist could be appeased is by the in direct means of a specific statement on war aims by the Austrian govern ment and this is believed to be the exclamation of Count Czcrnin's ad- dress and his talk of conveying 1t directly to America. It is conceded that if Count Czerin's address act ually should be delivered to Presi- dent Wilson at the request of the Austrian government it might call Tor further statement from the president altho the latter already has said that the war aims of Amer ica have been defined with all need ed detail in his statement of the IA points at issue.
