Over Outlook.
An Iowa stock farmer and his 16
year-dld son accompanied a shipm> MT
Of hogs to Chicago and while in the
city. the farmer took advantage of the
visit to Investigate the question of \
home lighting and power plant. The
hoy disappPoved of this move be-
cause. this being his first visit to a
large city, hC naturally felt that the
metropolis presented other sights of
greater interest.
Under protest, however, he accom-
panied his father to the salesrooms
Of the Consolidated Utilities Com
pany. 730 S. Michigan Ave. where
the Matthews Fun Automatic Electric
Light and Power plants are displayed.
En- route ~ the salesrooms the father
noticed his son stop and gaze intent

building. lie noted. also. that from
that time forth the boy became lost
in thought. Obviously an idea of
great importance was being. turned
over in that lads mind. Also his
interest I'm lighting and power plant
had become much intensified.
When the salesman was demon
strating IN" plant the boy asked
many questions which puzzled his
parent until he recalled the wireless

suspected that he was about to gain
access to a supply Of electrical cur
rent which would operate wireless
| telegraph or telephone outfit on the
| Iowa stock farm.
Being a wise parent who desires
to keep his son at home. the farmer
Immediately made Investigations along

After the father and son had de

are these compact but powerful elcc

farmer" he mused. Already tn
plants are busily at work all over tn

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, SO let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest WELL work we'll
sleep well, and look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy 1t is if one viii only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, can, instead feel as fresh
as daisy by opening the sluices
of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the inter
mai poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll. should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour fermenta-
tiOns, gases, waste and acidity and
gives one splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phos-
plate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flush
ing OF all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders
and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from the drug store
This will cost very little, but is suf-
ficient to make anyone a pronounc-
ed crank on the subject of inside
bathing before breakfast.

ImDlcrs OWN pARTYs RECORD

II would be difficult to imagine a
more scathing Indictment Of the
present Republican controlled Con-
gress than that uttered by one of its
own leaders, Representative James
r. Mann, of Illinois,. former Repub-
lican floor leader in the House.
Speaking on the floor of the House
recently, Mr.. Mann said:
Congress has been in almost con-
tinuous session for almost year.
The Republican side has reasona-
bly, large majority. If we say to
the country, as we will say if this
rule passes, that the Republican ma
jority in a years time has been un-
able to bring in legislation and per-
feet it where it is subject to amend
ment, it acknowledges its impotency
and its incapacity. 1t will be called
to the attention Of your constituents
on every stump that the Republican
party has not enacted much re-
constructive legislation, and it will
be told in addition that the Republi-
can majority Of the House was
afraid to enact legislation under the
ordinary rules and was incapacitat-
ed from following the ordinary prac-
tice."
Mr.. Mann was denouncing the rule
prohibiting amendments to and lin
iting debate on the bonus bill, bill
intended to raise q billion and a half
dollars. The "steering committee
had ordered the bill o. KID by it tc
be passed, or no bill at all, and both
Democrats and Republicans de.
nOunced the rule because it forbade
them the opportunity of even offer.
ing amendments to remove obiec.
tionable taxation features. Minor
ity members desired to amend the
ball to raise the bonus money by tax.

committee" had ordered the tag
