DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull. dizzy headache; or, If your
meals sour and turn into gas and
cids, you have q real surprise await
ing you
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
uron arising, drink a glass Of hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject TO sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form Of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. II is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep it up daily. 1t is a
splendid health measure for ii IS more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impure
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions Of people practice
if. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
plate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

GIRLS TO WEAR
VARNISH NEXT
Made Into Every Article of Feminine
Attire. Moreover, They Will Be
Water and Fire Proof.

LONDON, England.-Women may
soon, with perfect composure and pro-
priety, dress themselves entirely i'll
varnish, from the crown Of the hat to
the sole of the shoe. The varnish is
opaque, but it is varnish none the less,
and as clear as glass If rolled into a
thin film.
In its liquid days this dress material
was called dope" and was used to
protect aeroplane wings from fire and
water Now it is. being spun and wo-
ven for ladies' dresses.
The only difference between film
of dope, sheet of cellulose and skein
of silk" is that the first is laid on with
a brush, the second is pressed out on
a plate and the third forced through
a tiny hole.
Among hundreds of other things il
can be made into hats, blouses, skirts
boots and every possible article OF
female attire.
Moreover, the articles so made re
fuse to be spoiled by water, and are SC
fireproof that the wearer, if wei
masked, could stroll through bon
fire unframed.
Dyes of all shades are readily alb
sorbed and retained, and the materia
is as washable as linen.

DAWSON HIGH
VS.. COLLEGE BOYS
Will Lock Horns in Great Basket Ball
Game on Local Court Next
Wednesday Evening.

Fans in the city who follow the
hoop game and others who enjoy a
small war will be served treat tomor-
row night at the high school gymna-
stun, when the local high school lads
will lock horns with team composed
of college boys home for the holidays
The game starts at seven-thirty sharp,
and Is cents is the only passport re-
quired.
The team that the "rah rah" boys
are sending up against the school con-
tains many stars who once wore the
black and gold OF the D. H. 5. Now
they are scattered all over the state
in different colleges, and it is rumored
that some of them may mean good
bit to- their schools in the coming bas-
ketball season. Tech, Georgia, Emory,
Clemson and other well-known insti-
tutions of learning will be represented
on the floor.
This custom may grow into an an
nual classic and take place every year
during the Christmas holidays. Last
year was the first time anything OF this
nature was pulled off, when the high
school team won by comfortable
margin; however, this year the dope
points to a different answer and the
game will certainly be very fast.
Jesse Chambless will run the game
in his usual excellent style. Accommo-
dations are being made for large
crowd so come early to avoid the rush
and see a real basketball game.

Trade Practice and Good Ethics,

One of the knotty and really irritating prob
lens before the Federal Trade commission has
to do with trade practice that seems well
founded, both ethically and morally, and yet is
capable of abuse to such an extent as gives it
the aspect of genuine menace. Has the whole
saler the right 20 rebate to retailer any de-
cline in the market on goods already delivered7
On the surface it would appear that this should
be answered in the affirmative. Yet the Federal
Trade commission has cited number of whole
sale druggists to appear and make defense for
doing just this thing. Primarily unless the re-
taller is given this rebate, he is required to sell
on the basis, of the higher price, and thus be
placed at disadvantage with regard to his
competitor who has purchased later or to buy
in small quantities for immediate resale, and
thus lose the benefit in price, freight rates and
other ways that come with bNying in large lots.
Assuming that the practice is unfair, as the
Trade commission appears to believe, in that it
opens way to possible abuse, does it not in
volve something more dangerous? If the
wholesaler is denied the right to give his Gus
toners the benefit of market changes, saye as
purchases are made, will not the process of
stepping down from the high to lower price
level be retarded? 1t is easy enough to get
prices up, but not so easy to get them back, and
anything that interferes with the facility of the
process is not good for the public.

French Thrift Needed Here

The French people surprised the world and
won It's admiration nearly halt century ago
by paying off III three years so the ST O0O-
100000 tribute levied by the Prussians follow
ing the Franco-Prussian war Whsther they
will do as well proportonately now remains to
be seen, but they have made a good start on
the road to recovery from the curse and blight
of the recent war.
The unusual recuperative power of the
French is properly attributable to the thrift of
that people. 1t is said that in France scarcely
20 per cent live in rented homes. Whether
home owning is the cause of thrift or thrift is
the cause Of HOMECOMING in France might be
a hard question to answer, but certain it is that
the two go together.
The people of the United States as a whole
have been unprecedentedly prosperous, not be-
cause they have been thrifty, but because of the
wonderful natural wealth of the country. Looked
at from the standpoint of the future as we'll as
the past and present, it has been superficial
prosperity. Millions of acres of forests have
been SKINNED of their cream" as it were to
make ready fortunes. Millions of acres of land
have been abused and made unfertile/ to serve
the interests of selfish owners who took no prov
ident thought of the generations to come after
them Mineral resources have been wasted on
a tremendous scale by those whose minds were
on tittle'else than quick and fat dividends.
. This kind of extravaganza and improvidence
cannot go on indefinitely for the simple reason
that the field for intensive and wasteful ex-
ploitation of natures riches is limited Already
the country'is paying dearly for some of the
prodigality and selfishness of previous genera
tiohs. The time has come when the American
people, by force of natural circumstances, must
learn the kind of thrift the French practice.
There should be a far greater percentage of
home-owners and farm-owners. There should be
surer and better rewards for systematic saw
ing and for sound Investment than now. There
should be stronger legal and moral condemna-
ton of those who grow rich by fraudulent ex-
ploitatiOn and as a cOrol1arV TO This there shOuId
be cufbing of the general "get-rich-quisk"
passion which makes so many Americans easy
prey for financial ampires-Minneapoli Tr-

Reoreanixing the National Guard.

1t seems to be pretty we'll established that
the National Guard is to be reformed as part of
the plan for the defense of the union. When
this is set about, it may well be on a basis of
greater efficiency than before existed. AS an
integral part of the national army, the Guard
should have an Importance it never before en-
joyed because of its, almost exclusive state
character. But this new relation should not be
made reason for neglect by the state. Ne
braska was one of the most conspicuous Of
tenders in this regard. The Nebraska National
Guard at no time received the encouragement
it properly deserved, and as result the fact
that the state had the nucleus of two active
regiments when the war came is tribute 70
the patriotic character of the young men who
made up the organization, and no credit to the
people of the state, who we're content to see the
institution languish for lack of deserved sup.
port If the Guard is revived in Nebraska, it
should be given an opportunity for decent ex-
istence, and not be subject to such opposition
as was neted in connection with the Otoe
county armory bonds case Give the boys .
chance, furnish them with necessary equipment
ample armories and encampment fields, and
they will give the state service to be proud of.
1t is too much to ask them to serve as they
did and expect high grade of efficiency to de-
velop under the conditions.

Abraham Lincoln: A Man.

Americans, no matter how busy, will pause for
a moment today to pay respectful and admiring
tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
America has produced other statesmen, more
profoundly learned and more deeply versed in
the science of government as keenly concerned
for the welfare of the people, and in the highest
degree patriotic, whose service to the country
was large and generous and yet who have left
no such impression on the imagination and af
fiction of their countrymen, Other men have
risen from poverty and obscurity to positions
of power and influence, and have died leaving no
greater gap in the social fabric than follows the
withdrawal of the ordinary mortal What then,
distinguishes Abraham Lincoln from the rest?
Abraham Lincoln lives forever because he
lived while he was here in the flesh. 1t is not
his ability a rail splitter, school teacher fat
boat man, grocery clerk, surveyor lawyer, sol
der, congressman or president, or all COM
bned that gives him his pre-eminence. 1t was
that almost divine quality of understanding and
sympathy with the people his deep perception
and quick response to the problems and per-
plexities of the plain folks. God must love the
common people, because he made so many of
them,' said Abraham Lincoln.
He loved justice and did right nstnctively;
his heart beat in tune with that of the masses
and his wonderfully clear and vigorous mind
was devoted to their service. His principles and
pfecepts were expressed that all might
derstand. and clearly pointed the way to human
liberty, the square deal, and better way of
living That is why the name of Abraham Lin
coin shines among the brightest Of all ages, and
why its luminosity increases as time goes on.

Get to Work

Some of the British newspapers are disposed
to adopt Seeding attitude toward this country
for its failure, through the government or other
wise freely to make loans and extend credits
for the rehabilitation of Europe. AS an ex-
ample, and in a tone which might be more in
gratiating, America is told by the Westminster
Gazette that "her own trade interests alone will
enmpel her to play her part in the world, and
mat part will involve her in financial aid to
other nations"
IA This is quite true. The same thing has re-
! peatedly been said by The World. But the
compulsion spoken of cannot be applied arbi..
trarily. 1t can only be imposed by the natural
laws of trade.
The Conclusion, accordingly; is that Western
Europe must somehow contrive to produce
more goods for sale in this market and to get
along with fewer purchases of goods in this
market. 1t must get over the notion that any
easier way exists to recover from the industrial
havoc and ruin of war or that full recovery can
Be made in single bound 1t must think less
OF loans from somewhere and more of self-help
4 It must talk less of what dire things will happen
to America and get to work more, as Mr..
Hoover said
Is The further fall in the New York exchanges
yesterday on England, France and Italy to
new low records is just additional warning
to the same effect both for Europe and the
United States. 1t means for all concerned that
there must be less living on credit and more
work AND saving.-New York World.

LESSON OF THE KIRK CASE.

The report OF the majority of the commits
sion named by the State Bar association to IN
vestigate the Kirk furlough matter sustains the
view stated by The Bee at the outset. No evil
dence OF bad faith on part of any OF the state
officers or attorneys is found. The "furlough'
plan for lberating -convicts is condemned as
without authority of law, although sanctioned
by custom The minority report endorses the
findings of the majority, but adds that response
blity rests on the governor, whether he is pres
ent in the state or not. This does not follow
Plainly the lesson of the Kirk case is that
greater security may be placed around the par
donng power. Broader and clearer definition
of its extent, with sharper limitations to its ex
ercise, should be provided AS an attribute of
arbitrary power.-i properly rests in the ex-
ecutive, whose determination should be final
but the governor, whoever>he may be, will very
likely welcome any relief from the junction that
frequently puts him in decidedly awkward po-
siton. Clemency is never to be denied nor
the avenues of approach to its application made
more difficult, but under a reasonable arrange
ment OF statutory regulations its exercise can
be made such as will engender less of adverse
criticism.
WINE tlc ulSpOSltlol HHdlly rests WITH tue
executive, he uses the power in full knowledge
that his act is subject to review by the public,
and that he will meet with condemnation from
some. He knows, moreover, the great ma
jority of the people of the state confde in his
Judgment and are willing to accept his de-
cisions because of their faith in his integrity.
In the past many pardons have been granted
that did not on all points square with public
sentiment, and yet where most objection has
been raised least harm has resulted.
The comment by the commission on the re.
lation between the executive and practcing at
torncys is one that brings in the personal equa-
tiop and is not subject for legislative enact
ment, bar association regulation or public dis
cussion.
