 An injunction is asked in both dis tricts to restrain federal officials from interfering with the sale of whiskey. A favorable decision, with out stay, preventing sale of liquor until an appeal by the government could be decided, would mean imme- diate resumption of whiskey sales in both districts.

HIT WATER FOR
 SICK HEADACHES
Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate
 in it before breakfast.

Headaches are caused by Guto-ia- toXication- which means self-poison- ing. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood excite the heart which pumps the blood 50 fast that it congests in the smallct arteries and veins of the head pro- ducing violent throbbing pain and distress, called headache You become nervous, Respondent, sick, feverisn and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acentanild, aspirin or the bromides which temporarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toX- ins.
 A glass of hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of headache, but will cleanse, purify and freshen the alimentary canal.
 Ask your pharmacist for {; quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensive, harmless as sugar.
 If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phosphated hot water cure to rl your system of toxins and poisons,

formulated tonight by the mild res ervation group of republicans.
 Under the rule, which could be made effective beginning Saturday by a two thirds vote, no senator could speak more than one hour in all until a vote on ratification had
 been reached. No specific time could be set under the provision for such a vote, but the leaders predict ed that it would force final action, if resorted to, early next week.
 To further hasten the treaty, it was tentatively agreed to hold night sessions of the senate beginning to- morrow night, and continuing until there has been ratification vote.
 The movement for cloture was started after Senator Reed demo- crat. of Missouri had launched into another long speech attacking the treaty, and Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin ard France of Maryland, republicans. had indicated they were ready to continue the fight as soon as the Missouri sen;itor concluded. Senator Reed occupied all of today's three-hour session, and intimated at that he would continue fer several hours later tomorrow.
