Tells Why Everyone should Drink

Headache of any kind, is caused
by auto-intoxication- means

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-
bipg 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
it. drunk before breakfast for
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 twinge which is not un-
pleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, II
tongue is coated or you wake up
with bad taste, foul breath or have
colds, indigestion, biliousness, con-
situation or sour acid stomach, be-
gin the phosphated hot water cure to
rid your system of toxins and poi
sons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels, every
morning never have any headache or

claimed, in the midst of the war,
that the league must be the corner

The heavy" work on the draft
has been done during the last
months. Time and time again there
arose a deadlock in the committee in

the majority of workers on it threw
up their hands in despair.

Appeal to reason was his keenest
weapon: irrefutabIe logic and lucid
speech were his most powerful allies.
Never did he lose his temper, never
did an empty threat fall from his
IirS.
To be sure. this full draft which
b." read today contains some features
not entirely to his liking. though in its
broad outline, and-aboye all-in the
fundamentals. the plan embodies his
principles and ideals which long since
set the worlds conscience aflame.
But the great thing is, that if this
draft came to life at all that all the
muItifarious and ugly obstacles were
overcome and a concrete plan pro-
vidiHg for a machinery of durable
peace was finally created and can
now be submitted to the Iaw-making
representative bodies of the worlds
nations.
II has been for the most part. an
uuErateful task, that which the Prest-
dent has to perform here. But the sue

ward. A high and unsolicited honor,

present, Is a sort Of provisional direct
Dry OF the prospective society, subject
to President Wilson's call.
Under the serene surface these last
few days have been replete with the
lntensest excitement. A race was on
against time-aEainst the date OF Mr..
Wilson's departure. The obstruction-
lists were busy as never before.
One of the eleventh hour obstacles
arose in the sudden japanese argu-
ment for a final elimination of the
color line" The Mikado's represen-
tatives appeared with a proposal to
insert an article in the draft dropping
the immigration bars which have
hitherto banned certain races.
Precisely what were the arguments
that made Japan finally desist from
TrCssin= this point as this juncture is
not known.
There was no discussion after the
President had finished. The draft will

No Serious Differences.
Before reading article XIX, which
deals with the mandatory system for
the administration OF the colonies,
President Wilson said:
Let me say before reading article

this document It was the subject mat
ter of a very careful discussion by the
representatives of the five greater
parties, and that their unanimous con-
clusion in the matter is embodied in
this article"
President Speaks on Draft.
After he had read the text of the
draft, President Wilson spoke as
follows:
TT gives me pleasure to add to
this formal reading of the result of
our labors that the character of the
discussion which occurred at the
sittings of the commission was not
only of the most constructive, but
of the most encouraging sort.
TT was obvious throughout our
discussions that although there
were subjects upon which there
were individual differences of judg-
ment, with regard to the methods
by which our objects should be OBJ
tanned. there was practically at no
point any serious difference of opin-
ion or motive as to the objects
which we were seeking.
Indeed, while these debates were
not made the opportunity for the
expression of enthusiasms and senti-
ments, 1 think the other members
of the commission will agree with
me that there was an undertone of
high respect and Of enthusiasm for
the thing we were trying to do,
which was heartening throughout
every meeting.
Result Reached Unanimously,
Because we felt that in a way
this conference did intrust to us the
expression of one of its highest and
most important purposes, to see to

The compulsion of that task was
constantly upon us, and at no point
was there shown the slightest de-
sire to do anything but suggest the
best means to accomplish that great
object.
There is a very great signifi-
