He is said to have confessed to the
crime before death.

Says glass Of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poIsons

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up with out a headache, backache, coated tongue or nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week.
 Before breakfast each day, drink q glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, Kidneys and bow els the previous days indigestible wate, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and purifying the entire alimentaTy canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigoTatiDg. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that. Those who are E-Niect to con- stipation, bilious attacks, acid stom- ach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion paIlid. are assured that one week of inside-bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.-Adv.

REDS BLAMED
 FOR STRIKES IN TOWNS OF SPAIN

Barcelona. Spain. May 1o.-tCor- respondence of The ssociated Press) German propaganda, and the spread of BoIshevik ideas among the work ing men are, in part, blamed for the general strike which took place here last week It is generally believed that the Germans have all along been working to create trouble among the Spanish Iaboring men. Their ma chinations during the war were ex- posed by the Madrid daily FL SOL which showed how the German Elm bassy was implicated in provoking la bor troubles both in Barcelona and Madrid It was reported two weeks ago that a wireless message had been intercepted asking that further funds be sent here for propag ganda, work
 Bolsheviz ideas began 10 spread and were judiciOusIy fostered by uni identified persons who provided funds and organization. All workers incIud- ing clerks in offices were forced by threats to join the labor syndicates. Those who refused were warned by anonymus letters and if they disre- garded these warnings were murder ed by masked men. The police failed to discover the authors of these crimes.
 The strike began among the eTn- pIoyes of the light and power com pany and the city was left without street cars or electric light. The gov ernment mobilized the strikers but the tramway conductors refused to take the cars out under military or ders and were arrested and taken to the fortress of NIontjuich.
 Finally the Madrid government obliged the light and power company to concede the demands of the men but the army authorities refused the demand of the union that the i'm prisoned conductors be liberated.
 The general strike ensued and the city was left without light, power or transport. There is good authority for stating that the strike leaders had planned a general pillage of the city as serious as that which took place in 1909.
 the military authorities stationed ma chine guns in the leading thorough fares while special constables main tanned order in the side streets. The soldiers supplied electric light and water but no street cars were op- erated. No Barcelona papers were printed for several days and the Ma drid papers received here were torn from the hands Of the vendors Eventually the authorities gained the upper hand and normal conditions were resumed.
 The censorship made it impossible to wire any details

 The story amazed the company, and had to repeat it twice before they got the hang of it.
 Instantly swift orders were given.
 A captain and a Lieutenant left the chateau, and I heard them driv- ing away head1cng. The Colonel him. self tried the telephone, and pulled a wry face when he laid 1t down.
 'The wires are cut" he said; ''the gang will be halfway to Paris by this time.''
 I told him I thought not. AS far as I could hear, they were going westward It will be San Sebastian, Colonel, and you will be lucky to get them before they are over the iron tier"
 He admitted it, and we left the | house together. When I showed him the letter-box and told him that my despatch lay at the bottom of it he laughed for the first time. T should never have thought of that" he said. Indeed" said l. "you should have | done it if you had been in my po- | sition.
 We forced the lock of the box, us- l ing a big screwdriver from one of the motors, and there we found the let l ter quite safe, as I had hoped. | The Colonel took me on to Vendo- | me in his own car, and I delivered
 the despatch before eleven in the morning. But it was nearly midnight when reached Paris again. Naturally, the affair remained se- l cret in the archives of the military l police, but we know today who was responsible for the whole business l One Is dead, and the distressful lady

MATERIAL
FOR USE IN CLOTHES

BOSTON, Mass.-Strictly speaking,
the Boston wool market is in a very
satisfactory condition. Certainly
there is very little business record
ed and dealers reports things as be-
ing extrehely dull. Nevertheless, it
is %reassuring after the experiences of
the last year and more to find there
is no abnormal demand for wool and
also that there is no abnormal sup
ply. In other words, a gradual re-
adjustment has started which should
act as a solid foundation on which to
resume business.
There is not much sign of prices
easing off to any extent for fine
woods. Territory woods have been
picked up during the last week at the
same high level. Although it is
known that the government is going
to reduce the limit at the auctions
next month. 1t is no. known to what
extent; but it is not expected to make
any appreciable difference in prices
generally.
Medium woods are still practically
disregarded and a sale is reported
from st. Louis at a very low figure.
Manufacturers are disinclined to take
any fresh stock at present, particu-.
larry medium grades, with the result
that if any are offered at the forth
coming auctions 1t is thought they
will be bought in quickly at a low
price by dealers and held pending
the inevitable change which will
come when the public taste turns
toward garments made from coarser
materials.
The announcement of the British
wool auctions has possibly scared
away a certain amoun of business,
but dealers are beginning to realize
that there is not so much to he
alarmed owe as they at first sup
posed, and are more content 10
await events. Anyhow, IL is not ex-
pected that there will be much inter-
est until the government auctions
next month, which are awaited with
interest. when it will be seen just
what level prices are going to keep.

Sayings of
Theodore Roosevelt
PREPAREDNESS

The only permanently efficient
type of defensive is the offensive"
TIT
There is no meaner moral attitude
than that OF a timid and selfish neu-
trality between right and wrong"
tat
1T is as wicked to exalt peace at
the expense of morality as it is to
exalt war at the expense of moral
ity."
The blood-and-iron statesman of
one nation finds in the m~ilk-and-
water statesman of another nation
the man predestined through the
ages to be his ally and his tool"
tat
THE navy of the United States is
the right arm of the United States
and is emphatically the peacemaker.
Woe to our country If we permit that
right arm to become palsied, or even
to become fabby and inefficient"
TT
The prime and all-important lesson
to learn is that while preparedness
will not guarantee a nation against
war, unpreparedness eventually in
sures not merely war, but utter dis
aster."
AN efficient world league for peace
is as yet in the future; and II NAV
be, although | sincerely hope not. in
the far future. The indispensable
thing for every free people to do in
the present day is with efficiency to
prepare against war by making itself
physically able to defend its rights
and by cultivating that stern and
manly spirit without which no mate
rial preparation will avail"
TIT
THE ultrapaciists have been fond
of prophesying the immediate an
proach of a universally peaceful con-
dition throughout the world, which
will render it unnecessary to
against war because there will be no
more war. This represents in some
cases well-meaning and pathetic
folly. In other cases II represents
mischievous and ~inexcusable folly.
But it always represents folly"
