To probably a majority Of readers of
French history, La Fayette has seemed
s puzzle during these rcuSrkable times
in France. In the fight of the people
with the monarchy he appeared as very
much akin to what is called trimmer
Not a Mirabeau. who would run with
the hare and hunt with the hounds,
but rather as one who endeavored TO per-
form the difficult role of carrying water
on both shoulders" But, as a result of
his close culling of reliable history from
all angles. the study of undoubted facts,
the careful analysis Of writings and say
ings, Mr.. Morgan presents La Fayette
as still the true patriot, the advoCate of
human rights, striving to secure TO France
government which he believed best
suited to conditions of the times n
constitutional monarchy.
And so we views La Fayettc as a con-
sistent adhcrcnt to his principles, acting
according TO his own lights, and, as is
50 frequently the result in such instances,
ending by losing the appreciation OF both
sides which at first was his portion, and
bringing upon his head the adherence
and Remuneration Of all factions Called
TO the command Of thc
National Guard. for time the protection
and salvation Of both king and people,
he ended by fleeing from his post in order
to escape an arrest that would have sent
him to the guillotlnc. d sacrifice TO the
blind fury Of the rcvolutious leaders.
And yet he was faithful 70 bis principles
20 his love for the liberties Of the people,
and his conception Of popular govern
ment This we clearly see in Mr.. Nor
gan's presentation.

THE YOUNG FRIEND OF LIBERTY.

We of this country start our acquaInt-

from them going to the support Of privileg-
ed classes in idleness and luxury. ID
was while he was giving thought and

THE FOOLISH MOUSE.

He was very foolish little mouse,
because he lived in the wall OF pantry
where there was plenty of crumbs. and
things for him to cat, and that, perhaps
was the reason he got into trouble Just
because things were so easy for him to get
living.
One day he thought he would like to
take look about the place where he
lived, so he ran out of the pantry into
the kitchen, under the sink, and upset
a dish of milk left for puss.
But this did not scare this little mouse !.
He ran all over the house, poking INTO
every place, and not once did he get
scared enough to run home. :,
Puss saw him once, too, and chase d
him down the stairs, but he only ran
up the window drapcry and hid from
her, and then, when she was out OF the
way, what did thus foolish little mouse
do but nun down, and out of doors he
went.
Around the house he ran. and when
he came To vine that ran over the
house, up he went. Said the foolish little

IF YOU DESIRE A

Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tons and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as COAL
when it burns leaves behind a certain
amount OF inCOmbustible material in
the form of ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave in the
alimentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
Your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach. liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire ailmentary tract
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Men ana women WITH SaiIOW SKINS,
liver spots, pimpes or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches. bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipat ton should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
