 'It meant to them, as it meant to all people, the report added, that all the liquor that has been treated and taxed as intoxicating sould forever be ban ished, and they are asking Congress to carry out in good faith what everybody understood was the mandate written into the constitution"
 With respect to the bills provision for medicines toilet articles and flavoring extracts, the committee contended the restrictions were not so severe as those in force in many states, and were as lib- eral as it was believed safe to make them.
 Every provision in it has precedents in state or federal legislation" the re- port said, referring to the constitutional enforcement provisions.
 Many states have provisions in their laws that are much more drastic than any contained in this bill. The aim of the committee has been to. present a measure that would if enacted into law carry into effect the purpose of this amendment, and would not present any feature to which any law abiding citizen could reasonably object''

Not seat was to be had this evening in caba- ret or hotel, and it was perhaps thls avowed determination of New York to celebrate that caused orders to be issued from police headquarters that all reserves were to hold themselves in readiness from midnight tonight until noon tomor- row.
 Many thirsty New Workers, however, had an eye to the future and stocked up" in an eleventh hour rush on whole sale and retail liquor establishments.
 The police received orders tonight to enforce the ban on hard liquor after midnight and precinct chiefs were noti- fled that saloonkeepers in the various districts were to be informed that any one offering whisky or spurious liquors for sale after midnight will be placed under arrest and arraigned before united States commissioners"
 Limitations that there would be no ''ln- discriminate arrests for the sales of 2.75 per cent beers and wines were made at the offices of William N.

 Admiral Wilson then stepped for ward, read his orders and assumed command of the fleet as IT more guEs roared out the salute agaln and his flag was run up.
 The ceremonious transfer of the command of the Atlantic fleet followed official creation of the new Pacific fleet. Speaking from the deck of the Pennsylvania, Admiral Benson as serted that the division of the Atlantic and Pacific fleets was fundamentally wrong"
 But there is another element in the sending of a fleet to the Pacific under Admiral Rodman, which will work to- ward much good" he added. The Pacific coast never has been fully de- veloped, but it will be. The fleet is going through the Panama canal, and suggestions will present themselves and improvements will be made on the Pacific coast"
 Admiral Wilson's first act on assun ing command of the Atlantic fleet was to appoint Rear Admiral Carlo B. Brit tain as chief of staff
 Admiral Wilson's record shows him to be 5S years old born in Canton, N. J., and graduated from Annapolis In 1881 He has seen service in all parts of the world, was in the naval engage ment in Santiago in 1898 and served in operations in connection with the Philippine instruction.

NO PROMISES MADE

Answering the argument of anti-pro- hibitionists that under the constitutional amendment they were given year in which to dispose of their business and that an act to shorten that period was a breach of good faith lis not at all per- suasive'' the committee held. Congress, it said, made no promises, and added:
 This charge, stripped of it's baseless accusation against Congress, is simply a plea that the saloon should have year in which to unload on the public it's stock of liquors, commodity that the nation with singular unanimity has branded as inimical to it's welfare"
 The report dealt extensively with the three headed bill, wartime enforcement, enforcement, and regulat- tions affecting the manufacture and use of industrial alcohol. With respect to constitutional proi1 bition it said this was the culmination of bitter and per sistent struggle that had been going on for years against the liquor traffic.

Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and
 are seldom Ill.

If you are accustomed to wake up with coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids. you have a real surprise await ing you.
 Tomorrow morning, 1mme edlately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach. liver. kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi- gestible waste. poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire ailmentary canal.
 Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning in side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthusi- aStic and keep it up daily.
 Just as hot water and soap cleanse. purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone act on the stomach, liver, and bowels. Limestone phos- phate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless.-Adv.
