PRESS COMMENTS.
RE UBL CAN DELAY.

The delay Of which Mr.. Harding com
plains is Republican delay. During the
short session Of the Sixty-fifth Congress,
even the appropriation bills were not
passed, because a flibuster by Republican
Senators prevented action. After the
Sixty-sixth Congress wns convened IN
special session, May 49,, 1919, by presi-
dent Wilson. nothing In the way Of recon
struetion legislation was enacted, because
Republican Senators were engaged IN n
filibuster against the treaty of peace. Even
the railroads we're not returned TO private
ownership until the President had threat
ened to return them whether Congress
acted or not.
"'rhe precious days" that are calling for
service have been calling for service ever
since the first Monday III December, lVis,
and the reeds of "our common country
were just as apparent during the long
period Of Republican obstruction,, III
which Mr.. Hardin participated, as thoy
are now The Senate, under the leader
shin of Mr.. Lodge. refused TO rntify the
treaty of peace that all the other belliger-
ents ratified 1t refused to agree on any
compromise reservations II adopted u
policy of rule or ruin and has cltih q
tenaciously to that policy ever since.
That is the kind Of patriotic sense "f re-
sponsibility it has displayed.
Now that he personally II facing the
responsibilities of the Presidency, Mr..
Harding is able to perceive obstruction
for party ends He ia incontestabiy Hght
in the appeal that he has made to the
House and the Sepate butif anything is to
be accomplished, peace must first be es-
tablished- counterfeit peace by res,,
lution Of Congress but a pence that Wiii

If the words Of Mr.. Hafdirgs farewell
address mean what they ought TO mean,
they must be construed as an invitation

Of Versailles TO the Senate. Should Mr.
Wilson do this, will Mr.. Harding use his
influence to get the treaty ratified at once,
with such compromise reservations as two
thirds of the Senators may agree TO, or

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring research
is the recommendation that it Is as
necessary to attend to internal santa
ton of the drainage system of the hui
man body as it is to the drains Of the
house.
Those of us who ar accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as q
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys-
tenn each morning and flushing out the
whole of the Internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phOsphateNin it to wash from the stom-
ach, 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
an empty stomach is wonderfully In
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject Of internal san

HOW TO LIVE LONG.

A DVISES Simeon w. King, U. S.
= commissioner of deeds, who has
held that job SO years: "Stick to your
job. Don't be a rolling stone; they
wear out too quickly"
Advises Charles Cliff, last of the
Pony Express" riders: Get out
and see the world. The setting. hen
never gets fat"
Advises James W. Whittlesey, of
st. Louis, 80 years old: Don't eat
meat, drink Intoxicating liquor, smoke
tobacco, or get married"
Advises Isaac Simms, of Atlanta,
81 years old; eat what you like,
drink what you want, smoke if your
wife will let you, and marry early in
life"
Now you know how to live long. If
you don't like one mans recipe, try
the others. If you don't succeed
you will know you tried the wrong
one.
When boy goes wrong you can
find, by going back far enough, the
time when the lads father was too
busy to pay much attention to the
companions his boy ran with OF to
the day his mother said he needn't
bring his chums into the house even
ings for they made too much work
with their Attering things up the way
boys always do.
Mrs. Pete Olses calls attention to
the fact that while women have been

that it grows on what it feeds. Youth
is the time when the mind and men,
DRY are most sensitive, most reten-
tive and most plastic. 1t is especially
important, therefore, to begin the
proper training of the mind at an
early age. 1t is as difficult1to dislodge
cumbersome, useless things from the
mind as it is to acquire new and bet
ter supplies of knowledge. What was
done badly has to be undone-ofte
at considerable cost. AS with most
worthwhile things in this world, a
good memory calls for the paying of
a price. Any youth or man who de-
sired to train his memory must be
prepared to pay the cost. He must
be prepared to pay the cost. He must
round of even harmless pleasures. He
must not hope to shine continually
and conspicuously in social or society
circles during his formative years.
He must study while others play. His
reading must be limited very largely
to books and magazines and papers
which will help him to acquire facts
and better understanding of what
ever business or subject he is deter
mined to master. He must utilize
most of his spare time and not idle it
away"
For example, l have tried to learn
all l could about the steel business
in its mining, manufacturing, selling
and transportation branches; but, to
enable me to carry business informa-
ton lh my head, have not attempted
to retain in my mind minute detailed
data about politics or baseball"
