DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we Will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
;, and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has OF late made
rapid strides with results that are OF
untold blessing to humanity The lat
est application of it's untiring research
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal santa
ton of the drainage system of the hui
man body as it is to the drains of the
house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue. nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead. feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices Of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone. whether ailing, sick or
well. should. each morning before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonfuI of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestibIe waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus clean
sing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The act
ion OF hot water and lin estone phos-
phate On an empty stomach Is wonder
fully inviGorating. 1t cleans out all
the sour lamentations, gases, -Taste
and acidlty and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast While you are
enjoying your breakfast the Pies
phated hot water is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a the.
ough flushing all the in .de or:ans
The millions OF people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly
compilations are urged to get quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store This will cost
very little. but is sufficient to make
anyone pronounced crank on the |
subject of internal sanitation.

Pressing PROBLEMS.

Never before on earth was there such an ex-
traordinary accumulation of pressing problems
as There precedents to help us
solve them, and paths must in many cases
be tried. No one can tell what is the survival
value of many present day doctrines, theories,
institutions. Only in most general way can
we see where the mighty current in world af
fairs is sweeping US. Like ship in the broad
gulf stream or an aviator in cloud borne on
by the wind we cannot sense clearly where we
are going. There are fixed landmarks bv
which to shape our course. For all that we
can see today half the world may be bolshevist
tomorrow and the common peril compel the civ
ilized states to act together with desperate en-
ergy to save their lives. Some pact, alliance,
league may thus be forced upon us of which we
do not dream. Fate may force the hand Of
craftsmanship just as the war did and drive US
to do what we can instead of what would
Meanwhile as far as events shall leave us free
agents our aim should be to weigh well as
we can all the suggested innovations and ex-
periments, take what seems good in every prop
osltion and decline the inexpedient and unwise.

The House and Victor Beroer.

Minneapolis Journal: When the six
ty-sixth congress meets, the house
ought to have no hesitation in denying
admission to Victor Berger, though he
was duly elected to a seat from Mil
waukee. He has not only been convict
ed Of deliberately and consistently OBJ
structing the military activities of the
government, but when permitted to
speak before receiving sentence he re-
iterated his position and, among all the
seditious things he had said and print
ed, found nothing to retract. He de-
nounced the war as "an imperialistic
war and predicted "an imperialishc
peace" He threatened the country
with anarchism, If socialism should be-
suppressed. He denounced American
ism rs synonymous with capitalism
He ranted through five closely type
written pages--speaking, as the dis
Patches say, with strong Teutonic
accent''-a against the American form
of government and American institu-
tons. The house, which is
the sole judge Of the qualifications of
its own members, can scarcely fail to
shut out man like Berger who brings
his subversive made-in-Germany doc
trines over mere and tries to thrust
them down our throats He is a con-
fessed disloyalist. He has no place in
the body that makes the nations laws.

THE MARSHALL ISLANDS.

A small group of islands with total popu-

cause of their PHOSPHORUS and it is certainly
true that Japan lis exporting and using large
quantity of phosphorus from these islands and
that under intensive development they would
yield much greater product. But Australia
is disturbed because the Marshal islands furn-
1sh great naval base and is seeking to have
them controlled by mandatory.
Now with the diplomatic phases of this ques
ton it is not pertinent here to deal. But with
one question arising from the facts it is IF
Japan is party to the league of nations as out
lined in the document before the peace confer
ence, what difference will it make whether she
controls these islands as a nation or as man
datory? They are fields for emigration; they
have no general commercial future and japan
IN any political event will be the market for
their output. 1t comes back then to question
OF naval base. And if this league business is
real fmctioning affair, how can one of its
chief s1gnatories establish naval base except
by agreement of the league2 There is reason
for debating the league plan; there is reason for
debating the future of these islands in event of
their being no league plan But to debate and
raise troublesome queries over them if there is
league seems to be at once to discredit the
league.

WHERE TEACHING WOULD HELP.

/ In his annual address as president of the
|American Economic association, Professor Iv-
ing Fisher, of Yale university, made two points
| that are worth attention. He spoke of the great
public service possible to economics teachers
and of the factors which prevent such service.
! We need a teaching of the basic principles OF
economics just now that will reach all our peo-
lple; the economists are busy IN our higher
schools teaching classes of young men and wom-
/ en- who are least in need of the A. B. G. of the
isubject and the teaching deals with theories.
We need clear thinking teachers, who can teach
Jas well as think, busy with great classes of our
people whose reading and commerce with their
fellows have not given them knowledge of the
principles of trade and industry and whose I'M
|derstanding has not been directed to these. We
are long way from the time when the buyer
and seller bargained together personally, each
himself workman and taught by experience
the law of exchange. In that day the relations
OF wages, costs, prices and profits were part
OF every BRIDESMAIDS and every merchants
knowledge. Now the great mass of people
work at special tasks remote from the sources
OF materials at which they work, remote from
the ultimate sale of what they produce.
One of the most helpful things to be done just
now might be accomplished by getting the great
public of the nation to study the whole machin-l
cry OF business in elementary way. Absurd
as 1T may seem, there is a sort of widespread no
ton that the mere possession of money enables
the possessor to turn it into more money. out

knowledge Of the business laws that gov
ern trade and are grounded in the common
sense OF business would bring new at

would not convince people there has been no
inequality, no profteering, no failure to give
labor and the public their due representation
IN management of industry, because there have
been such evils. But it would bring the belief

WHAT TT WILL PAY
TO BUILD THIS YEAR

The following article by George G.
\ Nimmons, one of the leading archi-
tects of Chicago. on the building
outlook. is of special interest, be-
cause it embodies information gath
Tered by him in the course of an in
spection of the great port terminals
| in connection with the preparation OF
a series Of articles for the Architec-
i tural Record of New York:
1T is estimated that the cost of
| civil building construction as post
poned on account of the war, has
now reached the sum of $4,000, 000,-
900 and that 1t is equivalent to the
average amount of building done in
one year over the entire country.
The reason most projects are
now being deferred is that heavy
decline is expected to take place in
the cost of labor and building
materials Any trustworthy informa-
ton, therefore, that can lead to any
feeling of confidence generally as to
just what this decline will be and
when 1t Will come is the information
needed now to stabilize conditions
and establish definite program for
the coming years operations.
Recently the writer had an oppor-
tunity of securing from many of the
builders who are still engaged in the
most important construction work
now going on in this country, their
statements and opinions as to the
future conditions. This information
was gathered during an inspection of
the great port terminals and other
war work, in preparing a series of
articles for the Architectural Record
of New York
No Material Drop.
The consensus of opinion of all
these men who are now most closely
IN touch Nth present conditions is.
that there will be further drop in
the cost of buildings, but that this
drop will not be very material. The
reason given for this was that when
some additional reductions in cost
are made, sufficient building projects
Will go ahead to simulate these
prices and keep them at a level not
far below where they are now.
The building projects which will
proceed will come from two sources.
FIRST, from industrial and CONNER
cial concerns whose business de-
mands or whose business will justify

"As to the best method of securing

FIFTY PEACE TREATIES.

Attention is called to the fact that fifty
treaties of peace must be signed in one way or
another before the formalities of war are ended.
This is rather picturesque manner of giving a
little glimpse of the world sweep of the conflict
Austria declared war five times; Brazil once;
Bulgaria once; China twice; Cuba once; France
TOUR times; Germany four times Great Britain
four times; Greece four times; Italy four times;
Japan once; Liberia once; Montenegro twice;
Panama twice; Portugal twice; Ru1nania once:
Russia twice; San Marina once; Serbia twice;
Siam twice; Turkey twice; and the United
States twice. But to this list of war declar-
atlons to be set right by some peace formalities
must be added the complications made by the
new nations springing into being. This was in
deed a great war; it will be a task testing the
best wisdom of the world to set PIP a means of
lasting peace that all can share with equal sat
isfaction.
