Look and Feel
. Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
we'll, sleep we'll, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting 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 morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass Of real hot
water with q teaspoonful OF limestone
phosphate In it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous 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 invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume Of water. from
the blood and getting ready for q
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but Is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject OF
internal sanitation.

LOWER GRADES OF COTTON
TO BE USED FOR WAR GOODS

Washington, D. C.-Government
agencies recently took the first posi-
tive steps toward a greater u+iliza-
tion of the lower grades of cotton.
The concession is an important one
to southern farmers who have had
difficulty in disposing of the grades
below middling because of the con-
tract requirements giving preference
20 the higher grades.
Both the army and navy now no.
tify manufacturers of cotton fabrics
that because of the existing emer-
gency manufactured products here
after will not be judged by the
grade of cotton used but will be
tested as to tensile strength servic-
ability and suitability for govern
ment uses.
The cotton distribution commit
tee announces an agreement among
representatives of the army, navy,
war industries board and the war
industries board and the war service
committee of the Cotton Manufac-
turers' association for use of lower
grade cotton. This agreement is ap-
proved by both the war and navy
secretaries and reads:
1. That many manufacturers of
yarns, duck and other fabrics for
the government are using a higher
grade or quality of raw cotton in the
production of such goods than is
necessary to meet government or
civilian requirements.
2. That it is the desire of the ar
my and navy and spinning interests
to cooperate with the committee on
cotton distribution in it's effort to
accomplish the purpose for which
it was set up.
8. That all manufacturers of
goods for the government be notified
that in view of the existing emer-
gency the army and navy agree that
raw cotton of no higher grade or
quality than necessary should be
used in the production of such goods
that goods will not be judged by
The grade or quality of the raw cot
ton but that the sole test will be

SPANISH FLU ON SUB
CHASER No. 296

One night while standing a watch on
board Sub Chaser 296,
And reading a story by the lovelorn
author, Miss Dorothy Dix,
I began to feel awful queer with a
fierce pain in my head,
Which made me feel at the time that
I had just as soon been dead.
The next morning I was sent to the
sick bay, Timrod Inn,
AS my chances for getting bette,
seemed to be very thin.
The doctor looked at me, with his
deadly side view glance,
Then asked me the personal ques
tion, Jack, haven't you been te
a dance?
And being honest I had to confess,
even though it broke my heart
For I we'll knew what it would near
and that with liberty I should
part.
The doctor gave me the lookover, il
was between one and two,
And came to the sad conclusion that
I had genuine case of flu.
gave him a pitiful look and cry
"Oh, doctor, please,
If you are telling the truth shoot me
and let me die with ease.
He wrote out a prescription and
handed me the slip, with orders
to have it filled and hurry back
to the ship,
I have never seen the like of calo'
mel, quinine and pills,
Enough to last a lifetime if / live
the rest in ills.
After I had taken some of all OF
this said mess,
He gave me some more and said take
ye all the rest.
The funny part Of it, and what might
seem so queer,
I am keeping all of this medicine
merely as souvenir.
I am not the only man on board thai
met with the similar fate,
But there's Clarence Weaver ano
Grant, our boatswain mate,
They both kept me company, which
was nice of them, you bet,
To have something in Charleston
that we all shall never forget.

OCALA FLORIDA FRIDAY, MARCH
A NEW INVENTION WHICH
WILL ELIMINATE THE U.
BOAT MENACE PERFECTED
Exact Location of Submarine Can Be
Ascertained for a Distance OF
Several Miles at Sea
FRANCE AND ENGLAND AIDING
IN THE WORK

Washington, March 13.-Alhtough
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels has re-
ceived thousands of suggestions for
ending the U-boat menace, il is under
stood from most reliable sources that
the government is delighted with a
device ust submitted, which naval ex-
perts predict will solve the problem.
BY means of the invention, which can
be operated from almost any ship, the
exact location of a submarine can be
determined within few hundred feet
from ship several miles distant
from the U-boat. The American navy,
it is admitted. is not alone in the
study and development Of the device,
for the experts of France and Eng
land are also working along similar
line, and are in constant consultation
with the American scientists. Ex-
perts state that the device is perfect
and the leading electrical authorities
of the country have been devoting
weeks TO rendering it practical as
well as accurate.
