Drinking a Glass
of Hot Water is
a Splendid Habit
Cleanse and sWeeten the system
each morning and wash away
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy
always by washing abe poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot watetr each morning.
We should drink before breakfast
a glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate IN it to
flush from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels abe previous days
indigestible waste, sour bile and poi
sonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
ening and purifying the entire alimen-
tary tract before eating more food.
The action of the limestone phos-
phatet and hot water on an empaiy
stomach. is wonderfully invigorating.
1t cleans out all the sour fermenta-
lions, gases, waste and acidity and
gives one a fine appetite for reak-
fast. A quarter pound of limesaone
phosphate cost very little at the drug
store, but is enough to make anyone
who is bothered with biliousness, con-
situation, stomach trouble or rheuma-
tism an enthusiast on internal sani-
tation.

Babies Have Good
Chance in Utah

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, August
.5.-Babies who first see the light of
lay in Utah have an equal or better
chance for life than those born in
Their states.
A report just made public by the
national children's bureau shows the
infant mortality rate in this state is
much lower than in any other state.
This is attributed largely to the ef-
forts Of clinic service to expectant
mothers and the instructive and
educational work of public health as

Rich OIL FIELD

Expresses Views on South
American Area.

A great lundeveioped oil area ex-
lists in South Aneriea. according to
the opinion expressed here yester-
day by DR.. w. L. shur.. U. s. com
mercisi attsche shurz has Just re-
turned from years study OF. gem
erai conditions in South America.
Numbers of geoiogists from the
United states and Great Britain. two
countries battling for world oil su-
premacy, are exploring the supposed
oil area which runs from Southern
Argentina to Northern Peru, shurz
said. Argentine and other geoiogists
are also exploring the territory. All
believe. Shurz said. that the ter
ritory comprises one huge oil field.
II this 10 true, Il would be one of
the world's largest.
Il believe there is going TO be
great oil development in South
America" Shurz said NO one, of
course. can predict how much oil
Is under the ground from surface
indications, but the Interests now
searching South America for oil In
tend to make the tests
It was stated here that "oil seep-
age" has been found in almost the
entire area outlined by shurz. that
oil men believe they have found q
rich field and that, while develop
ment is still highly speculative. '-in-
siders" are. fighting for advantage
Numerous rumors Of South Amer
lean oil prospects have reached
Washington recently. but every et-
fort has been made by oil scouts
and biologists to maintain secrecy
about their finds or indications.
II became known yesterday that
one American company now has
four geological parties in the field
in Bolivia. Others are working in
the Menquen district Of Southern
Argentina According to reports
received here. American oil men are
more numerous and more active
than any others in South America,
although British representatives are
also actively in the game.

At the opening today the Census
Bureau announced that 10.144,s21

had some effect at the outset. al
though the chief influences then
were the easier cables and selling
orders from New Orleans and other
Southern points.
Pressure increased after the start
and the market was carried down
about 16 to 25 points below the
previous close on active months.
After the first wave of selling, offer
ings became light and quotations
rallied during the middle of the
morning on covering and local buy

British Unemployment
Accelerated By Strike

Reports from the Office Of the
American Trade Commissioner in
London state that the rapid spread
OF unemployment accelerated by the
coal strike Is of such transcendent
Importance that 1t overshadows any
other development in the British in
dustrial situation during the last
few weeks. Some idea Of the rapid
increase in unemployment is shown
by the reports Of unemployment in
surance. It is stated that there are
something like 100000 persons en-
gagged in various Industries In the
United Kingdom who are insured
against unemployment under the
National Insurance Acts. OF this
number 114,771 were drawing un-
employment insurance benefits on

Der was 1927 and one week later

H. Sisson, vice president of<-fhe
Guaranty Trust Company Of New

Of the American Institute of Bank
ing here today,
I'm view of our. .fundamentaiiy
sound credit position, IL would seem
that what we need above all else
now Is Q stabilixation of prices 1t
new levels that viii bring consumers
back into the market. And not un-
til the readjustment has been car
ried through the list. and prices
OF basic Commodities. such as steel
and coal, recede and general retail
prices fall to lower levels, can We
md a new starting point.
But stabilixation of commodity
prices can be accomplished only BY
greater production at lower costs.
In order that goods may be offered
to the public at prices which, will
revive buying. There is still a vast
unsatisfied demand for all kinds of
products in this country. as well as
throughout the world, but prices
must become commensurate with
purchasing power before business
can hope to reach stable basis.
And the withholding OF goods from
the market. as well as every un-
necessary delay in marketing them.
lessons the available supply OF credit
by freezing, the credit required to
carry the goods until they are sold.
So. also, do unwarranted strikes
CONCEAL credit. as well as interfere
with productivity.
Retailers Must Scale Prehts.
I'VE cannot achieve the urgently
needed stabiiization Of business con-
ditions until those retail merchants
who are considering only present
Orofits and forgetting that tempo
rary gains may mean permanent
losses later on adjust themselves
to the trend of the day. and cease
endeayoring to suspend the opera
tisn of economic laws. They must
scale down their margins OF profit
to conform with present-day costs.
likewise, we cannot expect fully
to rectify the credit situation until
business Is relieved of a material
part of the heavy tax burden under
which it is now struggling. The eco
nomically unsound excess-proffts tax
Is seriously draining the surplus re-
sources of business and must be
repealed.
