SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water.
with phosphate In It,
before breakfast.

Wash yourself on the inside be-
fore breakfast like you do on the
outside. This is vastly more i'm
portant becaue the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the
blood, causing illness, while the
bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and
drink taken into the stomach,
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out of the body.
If this waste material is not elimi-
mated day by day it quickly fer
ments and generates poisons, gas
es and toxins which are absorbed
or sucked into the blood stream,
through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to
sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day,
a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it, which is a harmless
way to wash these poisons gases
and toxins from the stomach, liv-
er, kidneys and bowels; thus
cleansing, sWeetening and fresh
ening the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
A quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate costs but very little at
the drug store but is sufficient to
make anyone an enthusiast on in
sideAbathing. MN and women
who are accustomed to wake up
with a dull, aching head or have
furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, bilious attacks, acid stom-
ach or constipation are assured Of
pronounced improvement in both
health and appearance shortly.

RED OAK

AS no one seems to admire Red
Oak enough to give her a boost in
the News items, we take this OPP
potunity to inform the public that
from the railroad, her prosperity
is apparent even to casual OBJ
server. The many cattle,g razing
upon her sloping hillsides, the
fields of corn, where heavy ears
are constantly nodding to the
passerby; and the hay meadows,
where unusually large yields were
harvested this year, all bear silent
testimony to her progressiveness.
Our school is enjoying a very
successful session under the capa-
bic management Of Miss Neva
Russian.
Mr.. j. C. Joyner left for Tenn
essee Friday to look after bust
ness as we'll as shake hands with
old friends.
Mr.. John Webb was seen pass
ing the school house Sunday after
noon. He was going in the direc-
ton Of Miss oh what's the use
to tell everybody knows where, he
was going. By the way he has
special hitching post down there
which he claims is bought and
paid for.
A certain car from the Holly
Bush 'neighborhood passed
through our midst Sunday, and
judging by what we saw on the
rear seat, will say that somebody's
cane patch suffered severely. Wei
believe we could name the young
ladies who helped in the disposal
of said cane.
Every body is invited to attend

"Ask Dad" That was the favorite
plan in days gone by when boys and
girls wanted ponies, bicycles, trips or
circus money. But times have chang

thrift-the kind of thrift that means
earning as we'll as saving.
Canning, poultry and pig clubs have
become institutions in most every

IMPORTANT TO TAXPAYERS.
len Per Cent Damages Will BE
Added to All Unpaid Taxes
After December Is.

According to an opinion recently
rendered by the attorney general.
1t Will be necessary for taxpayers
to settle up this year before the
10th day of December if they wish
to avoid the payment of damages.
Under the new law the incoming
sheriff will have absolutely no dis
cretlon IN the matter and will be
compelled to add 10 per cent to all
taxes unpaid when he assumes
charge. Following is the opinion
of the attorney general:
Section 4314 of the Code Of 1906
provides that it is the duty of ev-
cry person assessed to pay his tax
es to the collector on or before the
18th day of December, and under
Section 4315 all taxes remaining
unpaid On the 18th day of Decem-
per shall Immediately be collected
by the collector by distress or
otherwise, and under Section 2197,
the collector is allowed ten per
centum on all taxes collected af-
ter the 18th day of December
whether collected by distress or
otherwise. But, in constituting this
section our court has held that the
tax collector shall not be entitled
to such compensation even after
the 10Th day of December unless a
resort was made by him to distress
or some of the other statutory
modes of enforcing payment of
delinquent taxes. The tax collect
ors of the various counties, how
ever, have uniformly elected not to
do those things necessary to col
iect the ten per centum commiss-
ION allowed them, and the public
has, therefore fallen into the gen
eral belief that if taxes were paid
by the first day of February no
penalty or commission could be
charged against them. The first
day of February is the last day on
Which a person may pay his taxes
without being disqualified to vote,
and the public has lost sight of the
fact that it is their duty to pay all
taxes on or before the 18th of
December.
The situation beginning Janu-
AIRY 5, 1920 will be entirely differ
ent for the new salary law, being
Chapter 102 Laws of 1916, will go
into effect on that date and Sec
ton 8 of this Act provides that all
fees and commissions and other
emoluments, which the law now
provides, may be demanded, re-
ceived and taken by the sheriff
and tax collector, chancery clerk,
circuit clerk and tax assessor shall
hereafter be collected by each re-
spectively, but all of said commits
sions, fees, and emoluments shall
hereafter be paid by said officer
respectively into the county treas
ury. 1t is, therefore, the duty of
the incoming tax collector to col
lect by distress or otherwise this
ten per centum commission from
all persons paying taxes after the
18th day Of December thereafter.
There is no obligation in this
new salary law requiring you and
the other tax collectors, whose
terms expire on January A, 1920,
to collect this ten per centum COM
mission, and / suggest that you do
not begin proceedings by distress
or otherwise to do so, but conform
to the previous practice of tax col
lectors, at the same time giving

SERVICE DODGERS
 NOT WANTED AS CITIZENS

Aliens who used their applications for citizenship as protection against being called on for military service are to find that they are not desired as citizens by the United States. when they come before the superior court in naturalization session to receive their final papers. This was indicated by the action taken last week at Middle town where Judge Joel H. Reed pre- sided at a na aturalization session.
 What happened in a case like this is reported as follows:
 Andrew G. Anderson. who in 1904 filed notice of his intention to be- come an American citizen with the clerk of the superior court in this county, learned that he was not de- sired by the United States as a citi- zen. Judge Joel H. Reed making a for nal order of court cancelling the ap plication. This was the first time that this has ever been done in the court at Middletown, but the action was taken because of the fact that Anderson in filing his duestionnaire for the draft claimed exemption. He was a native of Sweden and was of draft age. When he was filling out his question naise he claimed exemption on the ground that he was not full f1edged citizen, having only taken out his first papers.
 The action on his part was reported by the draft board to the proper off cials, so the matter was taken up with Judge Reed by Naturalization Exam iner Allan F. Church. In commenting on the case MT. Church said that there were about 700 cases of this sort in New England, which is his district. The government plans to take the same action in every one of these cases. The men will of course be forever barred from American citizen- ship.
