WHEN YOU WAKE

Wash the poIsons and toxins from

Wash yourself on the inside before

This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness.
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons. gases 'and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure Is to
drink before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate In It.

poisons, gases and toxins from .he

thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh

COAL QUEUES ARE
FORMED IN LONDON
Bitter Winter and the Coal
Shortage Affect Rich
and Poor Alike

London, February 1S.-Coal queues, the
terror Of the poor of London. have again
made their appearance because of an
acute shorta ge in the coal supply, and
thousands upon thousands of persons
have been daily standing in line in the
hope of getting enough coal to keep some
kind of fire going in their humble homes.
coal queue is an interesting sight.
Farley in the morning the number of
customers appearing at some distribut-
ing point exceeds the number being dis
posed of by the coal merchant. So they
line up, in the order of their arrival, and
patiently wait until they are supplied, or
are told by the merchant that he has no
more-by no means an infreQuent devel-
opment.
They buy in small quantities for two
reasons-some of them have little money
to invest in coal at existing high prices
while the second cause is the lack of
means to remove large quantities Often
perambuators provide the vehicle, but
more often the purchaser tucks his
black diamonds away in an old basket
and hurTies on his way.
If the dealer is so fortunate as to have
ton or two of coal the queus will be
maintained for hours in the biting cold
If his supply is short he is soon sold
out, and the queue dissolves, only to be
reformed at some other place in the hope
of finding more coal.
1t often happens that persons of means
approach the dealer and offer high prices
for quantities out of all proportion to the
supply, and it is often recorded that the
dealer will lrefuse the temptation be-
cause he knows that his trade is among
the people who are his regular custom
ers, the poor of the neighborhood and
they will not forget him when he has
abundant coal to sell if he discriminates
in favor of casual but richer person.
So poor and rich alike have been suf-
fering and shivering. because no one
really expected the temperature to drop
as sharply as it has within the past
few days. The winter to this time has
been open and wet and sickenngly chill
ly but not so cold to cause actual suf-
fering, even with short fuel supply
But with the mercury lowering around
20 degrees above zero, '12 degrees of
FROST they call it here coal is a ne
cessity.
The shortage of coal is ascribed to a
number of reasons, chiefly the dilatory
work of the miners who have demanded
sx-hour working day and the search
ty of railroad cars. Coal supplies in all
centers of population are for below nor

The Real Quarrel in China

From Inside Politics in China" by Put
nam Weale, in Asia" magazine.
The struggle between north and south
in China is very old In one form or
another it has gone on for 800 years-in
fact, ever since the Kitan and Kin Tar
tars burst through the great wall and
commenced the Tartar military suprem-
acy in north China which has so pro-
foundry modified the old Chinese ritual
OF government. For, although the Ming
dynasty (Chnese) broke the Mongol SUI
premacy and moved the capital from
Marking to Pekins 500 years ago, the
Mings were soon enough ousted by the
Manchus (Tartars again who stereotyped
nearly three centuries ago the conception
of military domination directed from
Pc king-a domination which, no matter
how unreal it may have become, stlll
lives in northern China as a politica
corceptAtradition playing such powerful
role among the educated and uneducated
that no amount of argument can Kill it.
This then, Is the real quarrel between
north and south, in spite of all talk
All out constitutionalism; namely, that the
Peking tradition of a military domina-
ton has not been killed and cannot be
killed until universal education has def
nitely relegated it to the limbo of SINH
lar forgotten things.
From the beginning of the revolution
that is, from October, 1911-the northern
army was not only filled with this ira
dition, but was conscious of its strength.
A number of the northern provinces had
so far completed their reorganization
that Yuan Shih-kai at the time of the
Manchu abdication had certainly quar-
ter of a million fairly well-found troops
under his direct orders. South of the
Yangtze the situation was very differ
ent. Some provinces had no more than
mixed brigades of reorganized troops;
and although five southern provinces
Hupeh, Kiangsi, Chehkiang, Kwangtuhg
and Yunnan-could each muster at least
one good modern division with artillery
and transport, they were without proper
arsenals and were vastly outnumbered by
swarms of old levies. Moreover. all the
