Clear, Peachy Skin
 Awaits Anyone Who Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break fast helps us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry, bright, alert-a good, clear skin and a natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. If only every man and woman could be induced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly. anaemic-looking men, women and girls, with pasty or muddy complexions; instead of the multi tudes of nerve wrecks," ''rundowns. brain fags'' and pessimists we should see a virile optimistic throng of rosy checked people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour fermentations and poisons, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject tc sick headache, bil- iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have pallid, allow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but a trilfle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance, awaiting those who practice internal sanitation.-Adv

Tax Board Begins Hearings for Heads of City Depart ments Seeking Ap-
 propriations.

Heads of various city departments in addition to many emissaries ap- peared before the Board of Appor- tionment and Taxation at last nights meeting in the common council cham bers at City Hall and pressed their
 claims for various amounts to see them through the coming fiscal year. At the outset the annual report of City Auditor Bernard Heating was accepted and it was voted to transfer several items on the acquisitions of some departments.
 Permission was granted the Depart ment of Charities to transfer s1, 566. ca in order to have money enough for salaries until the end of the fiscal
 year. The Park Commission will transfer $9S9 to its coal and wood ac- count and S1,000 to it's miscellaneous account while the Board of Recrea- ton will make a transfer of $500.
 Rev: William Horace Day appeared on behalf of the Recreation Board and said that the $4,5SO asked for ill the requisition provides for an in crease in salary of 5000 per year for P. V. Gahan, the superintendent, ana
 an increase for the clerk of the board so that the salary will be $1,00O the
 same as clerks of other municipal boards are receiving. Dr. Day praised Superintendent Gahan's work and said that he had several tempting offers which he had not yet turned down at salaries in excess of what lie was re- eciving. The same board also asked for another automobile to carry the supervisors to various recreation cen ters and petitioned for SIP, 1000 adGi- tional salaries for social centers. The i'Board of Apportionment questioned MT. Gahan closely on this subject and he told the members it was planned to increase the number of social cent CTS 1 from three to ten. An increase of l s4,G0O in the requisition for band con- certs was said to include concerts 1 during the winter at available places. 1 Chief Justice George w.

MYSTERY SHIP"
 COMING TO CANADA

Winnipeg, Can, Feb. 5-Informa- ton from Ottawa officially confirms reports that one of the much discuss ed British Mystery Ships" that prey ed on unsuspecting German subma- rines will cross the Atlantic in the spring and visit number of Ameri- can and Canadian ports on the Great Lakes. It would be the first allied warship to come to the lake region.
 Mystery ships, a carefully guard ed naval secret, were built with a draft of 3 1-2 feet, making them almost immune from torpedo attacks They resembled slow-going,- helpless traps, but carried guns of sufficient calibre to sink any submarine afloat Because of their light draught, the boats are able to navigate the St. Lawrence canals. Tentative plans, it is understood, provide that the "mys- tery ship" to be sent over will carry an interesting exhibit of naval wea- pons and trophies.
