preston in the price of grain. He
charged that situation was being
forced to move grain from the hands
of the farmer and country elevators
into the larger cities"
1t was explained in support Of the
charge that the increased rates would
result in a readjustment by the
banks of the amounts of credits to
their customers, and that such a
readjustment necessarily would af-

necessities held in storage. The in

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES P0IS0NS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In 1t,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle. we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver,
II you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ OF
the body. Few know it's function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to- violent calomel, which is a
dangerous salivating chemical which
cam only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick OF
we'll. should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast a glass Of hot water
WIFI a IedSpOOulul u llmSSlouo puos'
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days inaigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetenine
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because il
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. II
is inexpensive and almost. tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you quarte'
pound, which is sufficient for dem
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling
fit day in and day out

WHAT TO DO WHEN
ONION SICKNESS OCCURS

Maybe it is because of its strong
smell Anyway there is some mag
netic attraction which apparently
draws disease of various kinds and
conditions to the onion crop. Take,
for instance, onion smut. 1t works
overtime in trying to snuff out the
young seedlings by forming brown
ish black, elongated blisters which
finally split the leaves and expose the
the powdery black mass of spores
within the interior of the blister. A
specific fungus causes this onion all
ment, the spores wintering in the
ground and agin attacking the young
seedlings in the spring.
The onion is susceptible to the
fungus only while in the young seed
ling stage. After the plants reach
height of 3 to inches they become
immune to further infection. Smut
spreads slowly in the soil, but an in
tested area in field will gradually
become larger and more severely dis
eased each year onions are grown on
such an area. The spores are spread
on farm implements, the feet of men
and animals, by surface water, and
dust carried by the air. Purchasers
of onion sets should use caution that
they do not contaminate the soil by
planting smutted sets.
Control is accomplished in home
gardens by changing the location of
the onion bed to clean soil, or by
planting sets instead of seed. In large
commercial onion districts of north
ern States formaldehyde solution is
applied in the furrow with the seed,
as this disinfectant holds the fungus
in check. One fluid ounce of 81 to
40 per cent formaldehyde solution
is used with each gallon of water,
his diluted solution being applied at
the rate of 200 gallons per acre or !
gallon to about 1875 feet of row.

The fire in Mr.. Cooley's residence
was discovered and extinguished be-
fore it did any damage. Mrs. Car
Isle lost most of her wearing appar-
ell which was stored in the closet
where the fire originated. In this
case also the flames were arrested be-
fore any considerable damage was
done to the house. Both of these
fires are supposed to have been caus-
ed by loose matches and rats.

ance Of females is natures argument for
polygamy, bur fortunately most of US
are still not as logical as that
QUALITY OF BIRTH
RATE LOWERED.
Aside from its effect upon morals, this
one sided population has n decided effect
upon the birth rate OF the countries so
afflicted
II tends 10 lower the quality Of the
birth rate rather that the quantity.
II Is a fact Of common knowledge that
the physically and intellectually httest
women are more often unmarried than
the frivolous, butterfly type.
Thus the nation that has an excess Of
women wastes its best potential moth
ers. with the result that the race Is grad
ually becoming weaker.
Havelock Ellis, an authority on the
woman question, points out that this con.
dition is due to mans failure as a So
lective mate
He says that among animals OF which
the males display their strength and
beauty To the passive female she usually
chooses the mate whose intelligence and
strength show that he viii be the best
parent.
Among humans, on the other hand, tho
females compete for the favor Of the male
by displaying their attractions. and he
usually chooses the one with the curliest
hair and the most weakly elinging nature,
regardless of his duty to poster.ty.
Havelock Ellis sees in the very prepon-
derance Of women the salvation Of the
race, however.
Since women will soon be voters in all
the more advanced countries, and since
In these countries they are as rule in
the majority, 1t is hardly an exaggera-
ton to say that they may be the mis-
tresses Of the world.
II this should be so, one OF their first
considerations viii undoubtedly be the
betterment OF the conditions Of mother
hood and the health and development OF
children.
This will do much to even mp the pro-
portions Of the sexes, as even now there
are more boy babies born than girl
babies, and 1t is principally because the
male children are more delicate and have
a higher death rate that there is
preponderance OF females.
The late war is another factor which
is bringing up the male birth rate. 1t
is a we'll known fact that there are al
ways more boys born during or after a
big war.
In this connection It is interesting to
note that just before the war the excess
of females in Germany had fallen 80 per
cent whereas in England 1t had risen 20
per cent.
This might be taken as sure proof that
the Germans were planning the war all
along and carrying their efficiency to al
most unbelievable lengths.
Although their claim that Colt was
their ally hardly seemed justified, they
might with good reason even now claim
that nature was on their side
