A VAST DIFFERENCE

Bradford, Eng, March ia pro-
posal to offer a years hospitality to
O thousand poor children from central
Europe was rejected by the Bradford
cit ycouncil after heated discussion.
One councillor said the proposal
was abominable. "Here in Bradford"
he exclaimed, "are mothers and faith
erless children whose husbands and
fathers have been murdered by the
fathers of the children it is proposed
to bring here"
Another member said there were
many wealthy Germans and Austrians
living i'm Bradford today, who ought
to provide for these children.
A third member declared with EN-
phasis that they could not forget the
Lusitania and the bombardment of
English open towns.
Alderman Conway, who spoke in
support Of the proposal. said: at ap
pears to me that the spirit of Chris
tianity has departed from this meet
ing. A Britisher is always regarded
az ready to agree and shake hands
after fight.
A councillor interjected: 'In sport,
yes; not in murder"

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis r. Chazal of this
city received telegram last evening,
telling of the death of their nephew,
Major Fred ]. Williams. who was ac-
cidentaHy killed in the Philippines.

Major Williams graduated from
West Point in the class of 1916 and
was assigned to the coast artillery.
Shortly before Americas entrance il.
the war he was transferred to the 18th
Field Artillery with which organize
ton he went to France. He served in
the Marine on staff work and immed-

to line work. Hewas all through the

ordered to the Philippines with the
Provisional Field Artillery. s.~
Major Williams was the second son

The following from the Miami Her
aid shows how careless the people of
q city are about municipal affairs:
THE special election held yesterday
to vote on the proposed bond issue of
81 500, 900 to purchase the bay FROM
from Eighth street to Fourteenth
street for park purposes, resulted in
vote of 293 for the acquisition of
this property and 1913 against. One
elector voted both in the affirmative
and negative and his ballot was
thrown out. A total of 422 votes was
cast. Considering the enormous
amount of money involved. the vote
was considered light and the rule ap-
plying to the lack of interest usually
displayed in bond elections was again
evidenced. A large number Of bust
ness and professional men were dis
qualified, owing to the fact that they
had either neglected to register or
were too late in paying their poll
taxes" ~a@ -"s7@

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says Q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps Us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal
,ertain amount of indigestible ma
erial, which if not completly climina-
led from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out OF
the thirty feet Of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
cttcrs who wake up with bad taste,
o1l breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
2ess, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practlclng
internal sanitation This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, awhile the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels.
