:,GIaSs Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open slulces Of the system each
morning and wash away tho
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustom-
ed to feel dull and heavy when we
arise; splitting headache, stuffy
from cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, lame back,
can instead, both look and feel as
fresh as daisy always by wash
ing the poisons and toxins from
the body with phosphated hot wa
ter each morning.
We should drink, before break
fast, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it to flush from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els the previous day'sindigestible
waste, sour bile. and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing and sweet
ening and purifying the entire al
imentary tract before eating
more food.
The action of limestone phos-
pnate and not water on an empty
stomach is wonderfully invigor-
ating. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one fine appe-
tite for breakfast. A quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate
costs very little at the drug store,
but is enough to make anyone who
i bothered with biliousness, con-
stipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism an enthusiast on in
ternal sanitation.

La Grippe, Constipation, Bilious

at Treton, Tenn, for several years
as pastor of the Baptist church at
that place, died last week, after a
brief illness. He was we'll known
and very popular in this county,
and his death comes as distinct
shock to his many friends.
The many friends of Jim Grain,
who is now at Wilson, Ark, and
who has been in very feeble health
for some time, due to injuries sus-
tanned by being thrown from a
horse several months ago, will be
glad to learn that he is now re-
I covering, and will soon be restor-
ed to mis- usual good health and
condition.
Mr.. John w. Haddon is visiting
his sister Mrs. w. D. Thomas this

turned from Brazil where he has
been engaged in organizing the
Farm Demonstration work., and
has returned to this country to
contract with ten agricultural
men to cooperate in the organic
ing of this work.
Court adjourned for the term
Monday afternoon. Only one case
was tried Monday, that of Mrs. A..
M. Shields VS. F. M. Roell Lumber
Co., the verdict rendered in this
case last week having been set
aside by the court on account of
the absence of the attorney for the
defendant at the trial. A verdict
for 1886 for the plaintiff was a.
warded.
A special election will be held
in Beat l Saturday to elect a Su-
pervisor to succeed w. E. Laird,
resigned. Mr.. w. l.. Martin, one

mess men of that section, is un-
opposed in the election, and will
be on hand Monday morning to
take up his duties as representa-
tive from that district. In Beat 8

Justice of the Peace. F. S. Shiv-

The pastor of the colored Bap-
fist church requests The News
to announce that Prof. L. C.
Jones, principal of the Piney
Woods school, near Braxton, will
be with that congregation in their
meeting on the second Sunday in
February. A convenient time will
be arranged and a cordial invita-
ton extended to the white people
to attend. Jones is one of the
ablest men of the race, and always
has something to say of interest.
Remember the date and plade.
Next Monday will be ground
hog day, and the attitude of that
little animal on that day will de-
termine the weather conditions
for the next six weeks. If the
hog comes out of the
ground and sees his shadow he
will go back into the ground and
remain for six weeks longer, and
will continue. On the other
hand, if the day is cloudy, and the
little fellow fails to see his shad-
ow, he will stay out and spring is
practically at hand. However, we
have found that it will not do
every time to depend on the
ground hog for weather condi-
tions.

INTEREST RUNS
HIGH IN FLAGSTAFF
SUMNER SCHOOL

Teachers in the state of Arizona
are looking with interest and pleas
ure to the summer, session of the
Northern Arizona Normal, at Flag
staff. Never before were educational
interests as great nor educational
progress as noticeable Boards of
education and superintendents are
urging teachers to attend the summer
schools. Many boards are paying the
expenses of their teachers or giving
them regular salaries when in attend
ance of such instruction.
OF all the cities in the west, Flag
staff is best suited for intensive study
during the months of June, July and
August. The pleasant days and the
cool nights are conducive to health
and work; the magnificent scenery,
witha opportunities for hikes and ex-
cursions, give the ambitious teacher
and student all the needed opportu-
nifty for rest and recreation.
Courses for teachers, prospective
teachers, high school students and
commercial workers are offered dur
ing the summer. Special courses for
the advanced teacher in junior high
school, and special problems of the
non-English speaking children, and
rural school problems are offered.
The dormitories, dining hall, library
and laboratories are all at the dis
posal of the students of the summer
session. The training school will be
in session the entire period.

TELL THE WORLD

The paramount and most pressing job and obligation
OF members of the American Legion today to get before
the public the facts surrounding the stand taken by the
Legion for national legislation which will assist the mil
lions of exservce in the United States in reestab
fishing themselves, says the American Legion Weekly
Most of the Indifference and resistance to the pro-
gram of the Legion is due to misunderstanding and lack
comprehension 1t is to the interests Of the Legion and
the eXservlce and to the country ITSELF that the
plan of beneficial legislation be explained to the public
explicitly and speedily possible The most efficient
most thorough and most practical method is word of
mouth explanation by members of the Legion themselves
The proposed legislation should be made clear to all who
do not know it's details.
Primarily the fact should be stressed that the Legion
is not asking for simple cash payment to each of the
nations sOdiersthat the provision for cash compensa
on is the fourth and last item the list of proposed
beneficial legislation It should be made clear that the
Legion asks first of all for practical assistance in estab
fishing the exsoder the farm second in helping him
establish himself in home; and, third in assisting him
in learning vocation Cash remuneration is subordinate
to all these and the provisions such that it will be to
the interests of the vast ajority of eXservce to
take advantage of them rather than the cash
muneration.
How much is it worth to the United States to have
quarter Of a million more \prOducng farmers in these
days of 15-cent milk?
How much is it worth to the United States to add a
million new home owners in these days of
adjustment?
How much is it worth to the United States to add a
million to the ranks of her trained Woren in these days
OF insufficient production?
Farm owners home owners skilled artlsans-they
the foundation of the nation and they always

social sanity.
1t is not to the exservice mans benefit alone but to
the counys also that the proposed legislation program
will contribute The public should fully understand this

Too many consumers and not enough producers.
Too much oil stocks and not enough savings

Too much envy Of the results of hard work and

Too many desiring short cuts to wealth and too
; few willing to pay the price.
Too much of the spirit of get while the getting

Too much discomfort that vents itself in mere
complaining and too little real effort to remedy
ditions.
Too much class consciousness and too little

In
UNIFORM NOT
To BE ALLOWED

Recently there has appeared in the
western states team of discharged
soldiers who, after fighting in the re-
cent war to uphold the dignity and
principles of our flag and the United
States uniform, insist upon belittling
and desecrating the uniform by wear
ing it to arouse the sympathy of the
public in general to the purchase of
unofficial and fake pamphlets, maga-
zines, etc.
In a majority of instances it has
been found that the men wearing the
uniform for peddling, hawking and
panhandling on the streets and from
door to door, are not bona fide sol
diers but are using this method to
take nefarious advantage of popular
sentiment This practice is in direct
violation of the national defense act
of June 8, 1916, and subjects the Of
fender to punishment by fine of $500
or Imprisonment not to exceed six
months, or both.
The real American soldier is abso-
lutely and positively opposed to the
use of the uniform for commercial
purposes, because the sight of a sol
dier peddling, panhandling, canvass
ing or soliciting in uniform creates
the fallacious impression that he has
been neglected and is obliged to re-
sort to the public through the patr.-
otic appeal of his uniform to make
living. AS one ex-service man puts it:
There are crooks and crooks, but
about the meanest crook of them az
is the crook who DISCUSSES himself as
soldier and, under cover of the glori-
Gus uniform, or even an imitation of
it, swindles the patriotic with various
unworthy money-raising schemes"
The war and navy departments are
opposed to any such misuse of the
uniform; the American Legion is op-
posed to, it; the puE'..c should not en-
courage it.

SPENCER MEETS
DEATH AS rent
CAR OVERTURNS
Well liked Hayden man In
stantly Killed in Auto
Smash on Hayden Win
kelman Road; Driver Is
Charged With Being In
toxicated.

Joseph Brooks Spencer, veteran of
the world war and one of the best
liked young men of Hayden, was in
stantlys killed in an auto accident
Thursday on the Hayden -Winkelman
road, when the car in which he and
four others were riding turned COM
pletely over At the inquest, held
Friday afternoon, Eulogio Quintana,
the driver of the car, was charged
with having driven the machine while
in an intoxicated condition.
The accident occurred just east of
the employees gardens on the Hay
den-Winkelman highway, the machine
turning completely over, landing on
it's wheels. Spencer's head was
crushed under the heavy machine and
he was dead when picked up. Other
members, of the party, Ivan Locke,
Fred Ash and Harry Karten, escaped
with slight bruises.
Was War Veteran
Mr.. Spencer, who came to Hayden
July 1, 1913, was employed at the Ray
Consolidated mill as screen repair
man. He was 20 years old. During
the war he served his country, being
member of supply train, 340th Field
Artillery, 89th division. Funeral SER
vices at Hayden will be conducted by
Norman e. Griffin Post, No. 2, Ameri-
can Legion. At the request of the
dead mans mother, Mrs. Cora F.
Spencer, who resides at San Pedro,
Calf, the remains will be sent to Los
Angeles for burial.
Driver Is Blamed
At the inquest it was brought out
Iy witnesses of the accident that the
accident was due to the carelessness
of Quintana, the driver of the car in
which the four young men were rid
ing. The charge was made that he
was in an intoxicated condition, and it
is probable that he will be held to-
answer on that charge.
Spencer was highly regarded by all
who knew him, and was one of the
most popular young men in Hayden.
He was favorably known in Ray, and
news of his sudden death came as a
shock to his many friends.
