Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink q glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poIsons. !

Life Is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition TO attain, and yet
how very easy 1t Is If one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
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 stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with q teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
Vut al tne SUR AUTHORIZATIONS, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject of
Internal sanitation.

THE COAL STRIKE.

"Oficial Washington" was re-
ported, last Monday night, to be
firm in the belief that the end Of
~ the coal strike was near.'' Al.
though, the strikers maintained
their lines on prac tically all fronts
yesterday, official optimism per.
sisted. Whether it has any other
basis than faith in the power of
hublic opinion cannot be judged
lat this distance. Efforts to end
The walkout by agreements to ne
gotiate and arbitrate were con-
tinued, and it was reported that
the good offices of Mr.. Gompers
have been enlisted. But it ap-
pears that the strike leaders are
still in the "ultimatum' frame Of
mind.
Their "ultimatum' appears TO
have undergone certain changes,
however. On Wednesday the
word was passed through Mr..
Gompers that if the government
would withdraw its injunction
proceedings ga wav would be
opened for the settlement of the
difficulty" This may mean much
but it might mean little. 1t may
be merely an attempt to charge oil
upon the government responsible
ity for continuance of the strike,
or it may signify willingness of
the strike leaders to recede some
what from their original stand.
But the demand that the guard
ians of the public interest abandon
the effort to ~~o+""t that interest
while the strikers continue their
"freezeout tactics is obviously
and ineauitable. A wav
to "settle the difficulty was

A FIGHT FOR FAIR PLAY.

Another planter stated with
vehemence Thursday that the
planters should fight to the last
ditch against the strangling regu-
lations suggested. He said that
there should be absolutely no PC
strictions on sugar. He classified
the movement to regulate sugar
as discrimination of the most
vicious kind. He cited the in
stance of cotton selling a few days
ago for 36 cents a pound with
every prospect Of it reaching 80
cents a pound before long. Yet
cotton and every other necessary
staple, he said. is permitted to
remain unregulated, but we wear
clothes and clothes are as much
Of an item in our cost Of living as
the consumption of sugar is, and
cotton is one Of the chief ingred-
tents of our clothing in these times.
He urged a determined fight that
should never let up until the sugar
producer had gotten justice from
a Government that for some curl
ously inconceivable reason seems
determined to make sugar the
only target for the spear Of the
st. George who would destroy the
dragon H. G. L. in this country.
Everybody is wondering whether
these "friends Of the people" be-
lieve that the cure for all of our
living woes is the destruction of
the domestic sugar industry. or
whether sugar prices once low
cred will mean the end of all of
our food problems in America
