Uncle Sam needs five billion dollars
to run his business one year and pay
more than a billion dollars interest
on his public debt. This is the stag
gering cost Of wars aftermath, and
its effect will in all likelihood be felt
for generations. If we cannot have
a league covenant as insurance
against future wars, what is it the
esteemed senate majority will in it's
marvellous wisdom be SO condescend-
ing as to suggest? Or is it's alleged
craftsmanship of destructive and
not OF constructive order? Does
this adamantine majority consist sole
ly Of bunch Of blind G. 0. p. parti-
sans, willing that world should suf-
fer rather than that anything in the
direction Of relief should be accom-
plished by democratic president?

The man who can see no good
in his fellow man ought to fall
off this earth and go to his place,
says the Lexington Advertiser.
There is no guess about where
he ought to be and where he will
go when he leaves here. The
milk Of human kindness has
soured in him, his better nature
has become perverted, his eyes
inverted and his whole mortal
being turned away. He has lost
confidence in men, has no real
respect for women, looks on God
as a tyrant and death as an es-
cape from thralldom. He is too
cowardly to destroy himself, too
abject to be honorable, too small
intellectually to bother about the
weightier problems of life, too
apt to live out all of his days.
Such men may be claSsed the
'gad flies of life" calculated to
annoy their betters, foment
strife, run discord, and bring
misery to mankind.

The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child
will grow up ignorant who can
be taught to appreciate the home
paper. 1t is the stepping stone
of intelligence in all those mat
ters not to be learned in books.
Give your children foreign
paper which contains not one
word about any person, place or
thing which they ever saw or
perhaps ever heard of, and how
can you expect them to be in
terested? But let them have the
home paper and read of persons
whom they meet, and places with
which they are familiar, and
soon an interest is awakened
which increases with every ar
rival of the local paper. Thus
a habit of reading formed, and
those children will read the
paper all their lives and become
intelligent men and women, a
credit to their ancestors strong
in their knowledge of the world
as it is today Elk.

WHEN YOU WAKE

OF HOT WATER
Wash che poIsons and toxins frem
system before putting more
food Into stomach.
Says Misunderstanding makes any.
one look and feel clean,
eWost and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside
before breakfast like you do on
the outside. This is vastly more
important because 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 ma
terial is not eliminated day by
day it quickly ferments and gen
crates poisons, gases and toxins
which are absorbed or sucked in
to 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
phosphate in it, which is harm
less way to wash these poisons,
gases and toxins from the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels ;
thus cleansing, sweetening and
freshening 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
side-bathing. Men and women
who are accustomed to wake up
with q dull, aching head or have
furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others
WHO have bilious attacks, acid
stomach or constipation are as
sured of pronounced improve
ment in both health and appear
