EiACH year toward the middle Of

EACH year toward the middle Of
September the good housewives
of Morton and Rutledge Civic Club
gather together and have a display
Of the products grown from the soil,
their canning and preserving, and
then homemade bread. buns. pas
tries, pies and cakes. The display
is held in the frehouse Of this COM
nunity.
These suburban women take great
pride in their gardens and vie with
each other in friendly competition.
Quite few of them proudly ac-
knowledge that they could raise suf-
ficient greens and produce to make
it unnecessary to purchase these
commodities in the open market.
When Mrs. X. T. Wilson was asked
how the idea originated, she eX-
planned that the farmers in the Vi
cinity were attracted by the prices
given in the city and grudgingly al
lowed them only a small portion of
the produce. So this was endured
for one season and then the gardens
were started on plots that the aver
age person devotos to lawns. These
folk have grown potatoes that com
pare favorably with ldaho's finest
for baking and cooking.
Tomatoes as big as small head
of cabbage, carrots, Swiss chard,
Chinese cabbage, shoepeg corn. lima
beans, string beans, beets. onions and
celery are also among the vegetables
displayed.
Ever-bearing raSpberries II d
strawberries, japanese tomatoes and
about fifty varieties of flowers filled
the large hall where the exhibition
was held.
The housewives of this commu-
nifty are splendid cooks, and know
ing that, the readers of this paper
would be anxious to have some of
their recipes, I spent an afternoon
garnering them.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why Everyone should Drink
Hot Water with Phosphate.
in 1t Before Breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused
by auto-intoxication- means
self-poisoning. Liver and bowel poi
sons called toxins, sucked into the
blood, through the lymph ducts,
excite the heart which pumps the
blood so fast that it >congests in
the smaller arteries and veins of
the head producing violent, throb-
bing pain and distress. called head
ache. You become nervous, despond-
ent, sick. feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetan-
Hide, aspirin or the bromides which
temporarily relieve, but do not rid
the blood of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
1t, drunk before breakfast for
a while, will not only wash these
poisons from your system and cure
you of headache but will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire ALI
mentary canal.
Ask your druggist for a quarter
pound limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar,
and almost tasteless, except for a
sourish twinse which is not un-
pleasant.
II you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up
with bad taste. foul breath or have
colds, indigestion, biliousness, con-
stiLation or sour acid stomach, be-
gin the phosphated hot water cure to
rid your system of toxins and poi
sons.
Results are quick and 1t is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels, every
morning never have any headache or

Eel Paso, Texas, March 14-Martin
Lopez and Ramon Vega, two Villa
commanders, appeared at the Ojitos
cattle ranch, 80 miles south of Ha-
chita, n, NJ, yesterday and seized
"Rube" Spencer, the American ne
gro ranch foreman and a Mexican
ranch employe. Today a demand
was made upon the border managers
of the Ojitos ranch, which is owned
by the r. X, Warren estate of Three
Oaks, Mich, for $1,000 ransom for
the release of Spencer. This is the
third time Spencer has been held for
ransom by Villa followers. The Ojitos
ranch is the famous ranch property
formerly owned by Lord Delevan
Reresford, brother of Lord Charles
Beresford, of England and was
bought by the Warren interests from
the Beresford estate.
Employees of the Palomas Land and
Cattle company just south of the Dor
der, arrived at Hachita late today
and reported the presence of a Villa
band south of the Palomas home
ranch. United States troops have

After referring to his "undiplomatic
remarks at the Guildhall in London

next war, he reviewed the work of
the navy, saying it had co-operated
closely with the American army.
There was no friction" Admiral
Sims declared, THAT NAV seem n
