Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuIces of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed 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 a daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
1t to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
Is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
less, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you VIII
look better and feel better In every
way shortly.

STATE OF GEORGIA
AFTER POINT PETER
OWNED BY GOVERNMENT, IT
HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR
OVER A HUNDRED YEARS.

WASHINGTON, D. CA bill to
grant to the state of Georgia the Point
Peter military reservation IN Camden
county, to be used by the state as the
site of a proposed public warehouse
on the water front, will be init oduCed
by Senator William J. Harris. The
Georgia legislature in 1919 memorial
lied congress to convey the land to
the state and Senator Harris will urge
early consideration by the military at
fairs committee.
Point Peter reservation is not used
by the federal government and has not
been used by it during the more than
one hundred years it has been owned
The Georgia Legislature IN its petition
said the reservation is desired ito be
utilized for the purpose Of erecting
thereon a warehouse for the use of
the farmers of the state at a rate OF
storage which will be fixed for the
purpose of paying operating expenses
only"
The reservation is situated at the
mouth of the ST. Mary's river, where
the proposed ST. Marys-St. Marks
canal from the Gulf OF Mexico would
empty into the Atlantic ocean, and
contains 720 acres
The land is now leased at rental
of 500 year for term OF five years,
the lease terminable at will, by the
secretary of war. 1t will expire April

Seeds Are Charged
With Electricity
Farmers of Alberta Make Experiment
Expected to Stimulate Growth.


Expected to Stimulate Growth.
CARMANGAY, Alberta. - Electri
fed grain seed has been planted extern
sively by farmers of southern Alberta
this spring for the first time in Canada,
and, as far as known here, for the first
time on the American continent.
A plant for the treatment OF seed
by this electric process has been es-
tab1ished here. 1t is already taxed to
it's full capacity and will be enlarged
Immediately. The identification OF
seed, it is claimed, will increase the
harvest yield, eliminate the germs OF
fungoid maladies and improve the
quality of the grain.
The process consists OF placing the
seed in a bath containing metallic salt,
such as calcium and sodium chloride,
and weekly electrifying the liquid. AT
ter the electric current has played over
the grain certain fixed time the solu-
ton is drained off and the seed dried.
The object of the salt, 1t IS SAID, is
not only to decrease the resistance OF
the seed coat, but to MAINTAIN con-
ductivity during the period OF GERM
nation. Calcium and sodium chloride
in correct proportions, it is declared,
stimulate growth and give strength to
the new roots.
The new process has created wide
spread interest among farmers III this
part of western Canada and many OF
the largest wheat growers OF the re-
gion, which is a heavy grain producer,
have sown hundreds of acres this
wear with electrified seed.

No Galluses! The Cry
In Hot Summer Days
Will Not Follow Revival of the Gus
tom. Prefer Belts.

CHICAGO, I1l.-Suspenders may
have come back in New York, but
they never will be popular in Chicago,
according to merchants. Dispatches
from New York say that the custom
of embroidering suspenders for the
young spruce is the latest wrinkle
there.
1t was about twenty years ago that
the male species began discarding
their coats on hot days, thus exposing
those unattractive items of attire call
ed galluses. Nothing much has been
seen of them of late years.
The men have a perfect right to go
back to a primitive and logical meth
cd of holding up their combinations,
elsewhere if they 50 desire, but it just
isn't going to be done in Chicago.
''Unless," says Henry Young, Of Mar
shall Field and company, 1T is done
under cover"
ITS like this" said Mr.. Young.
"You either wear suspenders and keep
your vest on or you buy what looks
like the latest thing in harness. 1t goes
under the shirt and it has an arrange
ment of straps that fit over your
shoulders and is adjusted to the trous-
ers at the sides. The man with the
suspenders is the man who has never
tried a belt, or else is so constructed
that it is necessary to wear suspend
ers to avoid a calamity"

GIVES A VALUABLE
FARM TO RADICALS
BEQUEATHS HUNDREDS OF
ACRES TO SOCIALISTS. TO
LEAD COMMUNAL LIFE.

Peter Green, farmer, of Tolland,
Conn, has signed his will placing in
the hands of group of New YORK
city socialists his farm Of several hun
dred acres for another experiment in
the communal life. And before the
year is over Green purposes witness
ing the beginning of his plan to assure
himself with native New England eau
ton, of its feasibility. So he will invite
$50 radicals to till his land and share
with him in its products.
pete" Green, farmer, fully describes
this unkempt, raW-boned old man,
bred of the soil and poverty. He can
read and write, but little else. Life to
him has always consisted of IA hours
Iof work a day, three meals and sleep.
And the most important thing in life
to him has always been land.
Wants to Give Away Land.
Now he says he wants to give away
this land. He does not like his rela-
tives and does not want them to share
in his estate after he is dead. He can
not give a clear exposition of just
what he intends to do, but says he
wants to ''do something for every
body. he says ne is a Soclallst, ana
during his long and rather lonely life
he has reached the conclusion that
something is wrong with the world.
His immediate plans call for the
erection of a colony house and barns
on the great hills which he owns.
Then he will launch into the sheep
business, with radicals as his co-work-
ers. He is most emphatic that every
one will work and that there will be
no drones connected with his colony.
He hopes to have his plans in work
ing order by autumn and will then in
vite $50 of the most radical socialists
he can find to share his communal
farm and work out socialistic theories,
and, at the same time, herd sheep.

YANKEES BRING BACK
MANY EUROPEAN BRIDES
zoo Men Reach New York With Their
Wives and Ninety Children.

w avs aim ~N~AA~eJ ~N-'
NEW YORK, N. 1.-TWO hundred
and six time-expired men of the
American army of occupation, their
European brides and ninety children,
sixty-six of whom are less than year
old, were delivered at pier 5, Hoboken,
today by the army transport Cambria,
which sailed from Antwerp May g.
The bridal freight also includes a
squad of wives of sailors on the Unit
led States ship Olympia, Dewey's old
flag ship, recently returned to Phila-
delphia from Trieste. The army and
navy brides between them spoke elev-
en- different languages. The sixty-six
babies spoke only one language, but
that was loud and insistent. Five army
nurses and several officers of the med
ical corps were organized into baby
clinic and earned their passage.
The Cambria carried more somber
freight, 15,525 bodies from the A. E..
F. cemeteries in France being in the
hold. Among them were those of Col.
Charles c. Pierce and his wife, who
left for France on the Cambria in
March, he to take charge of the graves
registration service. Mrs. Pierce died
soon after landing in France, and
her husband followed her shortly.

terra ii contains.
Seaton's theory is that all plant
growth and development is dependent
primarily on the presence of soil bac-
terra.
Before planting the soil must be
in proper condition to receive the seed.
To meet this need Seaton uses cover
crops of clover, alfalfa. and the like.
Wheat stalks he p1ows under the soil
instead of burning, adding necessary
minerals where they do not exist in
sufficient quantity.
Uses Ordinary Seed.
Seaton does not use selected seed
in planting; as a matter of fact his
production of 1873 stalks was obtained
from wheat grains selected at random
from common, ordinary chicken iced.
While Seaton admits that a much
better grade OF wheat will be obtain
ed from selected wheat grains his
treatment of the soil bacteria, he
claims, is sufficient to increase produc-
ton and at the same time bring forth
better quality of grain. This is also
applicable when applied to everything
grown in the soil.
Seaton's fruit trees are seldom both
cred by parasites, because he says
they have such virile force that they
naturally resist and repel any para
site creature. Proof of this is shown
he says, when last year some of his
prune trees produced over l,20C
pounds of high quality prunes.
This study to increase food pro-
duction and secure better quality in
food from the soil is Seaton's life
work. He spends his every waking
hour in study, and has Travelled the
country over investigating.
And this is why, he says:
eff, by my labors, l can add some
thing to the worlds wealth, progress
and happiness I am compensated in
deed. | am not looking for wealth
or fame. My studies and investiga-
tons have always been made with the
point in mind that l might give to
humanity some little thing to bring
happiness to my fellow man and to
posterity."

MAKERS DEMAND i.
CORSET'S RETURN
FRENCH LOSE TRADE ON AC-
COUNT OF ITS PUNISHMENT.
$4,000 WORKERS IDLE.

PARIS.-French women will never
consent to return to wearing corsets,
is the concensus of opinion among the
leading Partisan dressmakers, reply
ing to Paul Poiret's demand that stays
must be worn with period dresses.
"a woman's body needs sculptur-
ing" said M. Poiret. IF women wear
coTsets thew can wear the dresses of
Louis XIV, Louis XIV and the eigh-
teenth century styles. Minus corsets
that will be impossible. 1t does not
mean the old fashioned steel instru-
ment of torture, but light models like
a brasseur."
Jacques Worth answered NJ. Poiret's
position, saying: I'm the last twenty
wears several revolutions have occurred
in the feminine world. The automo-
bile, sports, modern dances and the
great war. The seventeenth and eigh-
teenth century styles were raviShing,
but to revive them you must replace
the automobiles with sedan chairs, the
fox trot and shimfny with the minuet,
and golf and tennis with croquet and
ping pong"
practically have discarded corsets, thus
escaping the miseries inflicted by the
terrible arrnor which was obligatory
twenty years ago. The love for mod
ern sport and dancing will not permit
return of that cruel and ridiculous
instrument of torture"
Director Beer cannot see a radical
change in fashions, saying: Skirts
longer and may become longer still.
Anyway, they will not be shortened.
Women do not want other models
than those being presented now. Mod
ern conditions will not permit the re-
turn of the old fashioned styles"
Strait-laced and clerical circles sup
port M. Poiret's demand that corsets
return on the ground that the present
STYLES not only dispense with corsets,
but underwear and lingerie as well,
revealing every line of the bust and
body, to which the filmy materials
cling like wet bathing suits.
A leading Rue de la Paix dressmak-
err declared that corset makers and
lingerie fabricators are behind the
movement to change the styles to
bring back corsets and underwear, as
having lost the French trade years
ago they are now losing English,
American and South American trade
also, for foreigners visiting Paris, on
learning that the real chic French wo-
men do not wear corsets, are discard
ing them themselves,
It is reported that 1900 employees
OF corset makers here are out OF work.

New Plant Wizard Makes 1873 Stalks

of CALIFORNIA; new plant wizard,
Edwin D. Seaton, whose discoveries

And this on land where little wheat
has heretofore been produced.
Other Experiments.
Seaton has not confined his expert
ments to wheat alone; he has had the
same success with barley, oats, and
other grains, and with prunes and APP

His Santa Rosa Gravenstein apple
and French prune orchards produce
yearly seven tines as much fruit as
