Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water Before Breakfast Says we can't look or feel right with the system full of poisons. Millions of folks bathe internally now instead of loading their system 1 with drugs. "What's an inside bath?" i you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per- ; form miracles if you could believe these hot water enthusiasts. There are vast numbers of men and women who, immediately upon arising ■ in the morning, drink a glass of real j hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it. This is a very j excellent health measure. It is in- j tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid neys and the thirty feet of intestines of the previous day's waste, sour bile and indigestible material left over In the body which, if not eliminated every day, become food for the millions of bacteria which infest tho bowels, the quick result is poisons and toxins which are then absorbed into the blood causing headache, bilious at tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep lessness, impure blood and all sorts of ailments. People who feel good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get feeling right are urged to ob tain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or store keeper. This will cost very little but is sufficient to make anyone a real . crank on the subject of Internal sani tation. » Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and hot water act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast ly more important to bathe on tho in side than on the outside, because tho skin pores do not absorb impurities in to the blood, while the bowel pores do —Adv. The Uncertain Future.

A statement of the work of these commissions Is worth while since such statement will direct attention to a series of Important happenings of the last six years and will draw attention to some matters by hygienic Ini-, portance. The Lake Michigan water commis- i sion teas composed of representatives from the four states some of whose . citizens used water from Lake Michl- I gan and at tl»e same time put their I sewage Into the .ake. Soon after the organization of this commission the Chicago Association of Commerce or ganized an auxiliary association to do propaganda work for the commission. The Lake Michigan water commis sion was the direct instigator of the great lakes water commission and somewhat more indirectly of the Uni ted States-Canadlan Joint commission on the pollutoln of the boundary wa ters. They are in great measure re sponsible for Improvements already ac complished or in the process of in stallation In the water supplies of Chi cago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Grand Rapids. Waukegan, Evanston, and oth er north shore towns suburban to Chi cago, Hammond, Whiting, Gary and East Chicago, Michigan City, South Haven, Racine and Kenosha. The improvement in the quality of the water of these cities has been fol lowed by lowering of the death rates from typhoid fever. The stimulus for control of steamships to prevent them from polluting the water near water Intakes came from this commusslon, and, following action to control the sewage disposal and water supplies of steamships there came necessarily ac tion to control the sewage disposal and water supplies of railroad trains. Tho Sane Fourth association was not In any sense a city commission. Its only relation to government was the fact that it always asked for, and gen erally had, tho cooperation of the chief of police, the fire chief, and the health commissioner. These officials sat In the councils of the association, helped to raise the money to finance Its par ades, and did some part of its work. The Sane Fourth association did not originate the Idea of a sane Fourth. The American Medical association first drew attention, in a large way, to the cost of the .existing method of cele brating the Fourth. The Chicago Tribune took the academic work of the American Medical association and gave it blood and brawn. The Sane Fourth association took the creation and breathed Into it the breatli of life. The product, therefore, had three parents. Tho Kane Fourth association went out of business several years ago. A national custom, and one which gripped all the people of every state of society and of every ago In life was changed within three years. CHILDREN AND MILK. Mr. Hoffman, of the Prudential I.ife, insurance company says children are almost as subject to consumption as grown people. Ho proves w+iat he says by statistics from the United States census office. In 1911 the death rutes from con sumption in the United States were highest in people between 3G and 44 years of age. The death rate from con sumption among children under 5 years of age was half as high as in the worst ago period. To which Dr. White, of Pittsburgh, replied that Mr. Hoffman was measuring the importance of tu berculosis among babies by the death rute and that was an unfair way to measure It. In the first place, grown people who have consumption got It when they were children, but the disease lay quiet until they grew up. Then they over worked or overworried or breathed dirty air, or lived where there was no sunshine, and the dormant disease be came active. In the second place, children have e\ery kind of tuberculosis. Grown peo ple pretty much limit themselves to one kind—consumption. Children have tuberculosis of bones, glands, skin and Intestines as well as consumption. Boys 10 to 14 years old have a death rate only one-tenth as high as that of men 35 to 44, but in spite of this show ing, consumption Is more Important to boys than It Is to men. This is Christmas seal week and to day Is children’s day. Children get tu berculosis from drinking milk from tubercular cows. All over the country today the school children are thinking ubout what they can do to prevent con sumption. Ono thlqg they should de c'de on Is that they will not drink any milk unless they know to cornea from a healthy cow or is made safe by pas teurizing. Wherever the farmers will not agree to get rid of the tubercular cows and the milkmen will not agree to make the milk safe, then the chil dren ought to agree not to drink milk. No school child has to drink milk. Other children get colds and maybe consumption from going to school in rooms where there Is no fresh air. One day Gluseppi came to Dr. Britton, ono of the Chicago open air school doctors, and asked: "Say, doctor, how sick has a feller got to be to get Into this here school?" Gluseppi knew what was good for him and he was willing to take a chance by getting sick In order to get what was good for lilm if he did not have to get too sick. Dr. White was right. Nearly every child has some tubercular Infection in hint somewhere. That being so, Gieuseppi was even more right than he thought. It will not he possible for all the chil dren to go to open air schools—at least (not in the north. But it would easily be possible for every schoolroom to he aired out, by raising the windows once f every hour, whether the school he north I or south. Mrs. Young, superintendent of the Chicago sehools, says so, and she , knows. The school children mignt agreo on that much today. They might agree to ask the teachers to air out the schoolrooms. And maybe those two points are enough for them to agree on today. There are some other points of importance ttiut we may pro pose next year if the boys and girls make a try at these two this year.

MUTTON AND LAMB. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure New* paper Sundicate.) Mutton is the standby of England— perhaps not yet of America. But at all events it is one of our standby meats nnd the cook who knows how to pre pare it in many ways has mastered ar, important art—for variety in meats it something to be worked for, and some thing many cooks never understand. To begin with, of course, roast lamt or roast mutton is the best way for a beginning; but once In a while a boiled leg of mutton is delicious, if served with caper sauce, and the water in which It Is boiled, properly seasoned, makes delicious broth. It is the second day serving of a roast that calls for ingenuity, and thfl third and fourth day, if there is any ol it left. Mutton sausage can be made, for on< thing. For these chop a pound of un der done roast mutton and add to si* ounces of beef suet, also chopped fine Mix with four ounces of bread crumbs and seasoning of thyme, mace, peppei and salt. Add two beaten eggs and e pint of chopped oysters, and roll intc balls. Fry in a deep fat for seven min utes. Hash is always delicious If properly made. To each pint add three cupfuls of chopped cold boiled potatoes, a tablespoonful of butter and a cupful 1 of stock. Stir over a hot fire for eight minutes, then put over a lower heat and brown for half an hour, very slowly. Minced green peppers or minced pars ley may also be added. Shepherd's pie can also be made with left over mutton. To make It chop cooked meat and mix with two table spoons bread crumbs to the pound with one chopped onion, one tablespoon chopped parsley, one cup gravy, salt and pepper to taste, two tablespoons drippings, one tablespoon catsup. Turn into baking dish and cover with thick layer seasoned mashed potatoes. Brush with beaten egg and dot with buttet and bake 20 minutes. Another way of cooking a leg of mut ton or lamb Is this: Have it boned nnd rolled by your butcher. Be sure he sends you the bone and meat the day before it is to be eaten. As soon as it comes put bones in a kettle with cold water, an onion, and season with salt and pepper. Bet simmer for three quarters of an hour When this comes j to a boil put in the meat and keep at a constant boll for two hours. Take out meat and boil down liquor, then strain and cool. The next day take off fat, put in half cup barley and boll till ten der. This will make delicious soup. The leg should now be covered with the fatty membrance that has been taken off the leg. This will give it flavor nnd serve to baste the meat. Balt' in oven about one hour. Tha Prohibition Lobby. L. Ames Drown, In tbo North American Review. The prohibition forces of today are or ganized with a degree of efficiency at tained by few movements In the history of tlie republic. Their efficiency of or ganization prevents us effectually from drawing a parallel between the Dow move ment anil the Hobson movement. The power of that portion of public opinion which now supports the demand for na tional prohibition Is exerted upon congress and state political bodies and in elections through the Anti-Saloon League of Ameri ca. The league organizes anil manages every Important prohibition fight made in the country, and maintains at Washing ton one of the most powerful lobbies ever seen at the national capital. It Is known as the national legislative headquarters of the league, and Is In charge of Rev. E. C. Dinwiddle, national legislative su perintendent. It Is a lobby clearly with in the sense of the term accepted In mod ern American politics. Its representatives, backed by an organized influence of pub lic opinion, are enabled to dictate the at titude of a considerable number of con gressmen on a pending question, with the result that congressmen oftentlfnes are driven to vote against their own views and their own consciences In favor of measures advocated by the lobby. The harmful effect of such a lohbytng enter prise upon our system of government does not admit of controversy. It Is Inimical to the very spirit of our governmental In stitutions. hi that it would remove the legislative power from congress Itself, in so far as the matter of prohibition Is con cerned, and place tills power In the hands of the Anti-Saloon league. A lobby always has been condemned by the American peo ple. The very term "lobby” has been anathema In American jvolltlcs. Until the appearance of Mr. Gompers and Mr. Din widdle. those who exerted "a concerted Influence" upon congress did their work secretly and under cover. The Anti-Sa loon league has been utterly fearless In Its ojverntions, however, and has made no effort to cloak its activities In the corri lors of the House of Representatives. Law of Compensation.

In the Countryside Magazine, MIbs Margaret Woodward tells how a farm er's barometer proved its effectiveness as a weather predictor, and confound ed science. Every New England farm er, she says, knows that cattle and sheep are trustworthy weather prophets. There is a story of a party of scien tific men who were making observa tions on a ledge near which was a flock of sheep. The professors settled a great many questions relating to natural science to their own satisfac tion. As they wished to make another trip to the ledge the next day, the weather became a matter of interest to them. One of their number studied the barometer carefully, and an nounced to the waiting group that tomorrow’s weather would be fine. Thereupon the old farmer who was within hearing distance remarked with a genuine Yankee drawl, “I dunno haow you fellers air so cock-sure about the weather tomorrow, but if that old ram yonder keeps his rump to the wind’ard, it’s jest bound to rain.” And rain it did, much to the discom fiture of the professors.—Youth’s Com panion. MAKES ICE IN HOT WATER Boston Scientist Also Has Succeeded in Boiling an Egg in Freezing Temperature. Dr. P. W. Bridgman of Boston, in creating new substances by pressure in the Harvard chemical laboratory, has crystallized water at nearly the boiling point. Only the limitations of his apparatus have prevented him from making ice at a temperature of thou sands of degrees above zero, where the hardest metals melt. This hot ice is the permanent form of water under very high pressure, such as exists in the interior of the earth. Twenty-two other liquids also have been crystallized at high temperature under the doctor's laboratory use of the immense forces of geology. He has produced black phosphorus and 30 other new substances by pres sure and also boiled ar. egg at freez ing temperature by squeezing it with a pressure of 180,000 pounds to the square inch. Misleading. Rev. George R. Lunn, the new So cialist mayor of Schenectady, was con gratulated on his election. "The people huve confidence in the honesty of my party's policy,” he said.

They knew that the opposition's animadversions on our principles were as misleading as the bachelor's description of his sister’s new baby. “Asked to describe this new arrival, the bachelor replied: '"Um! Very small features, clean shaven, red-faced and a very hard drinker.' ” Careless. "What brought you here, my poor man?” asked the prison visitor.

There are enough husbands already in Brown’s boots. “Brown and Black,” continued Colonel Irish, “were arguing at their club on the question as to who should be at the head of the house—the man or the woman. “ ‘I'm the breadwinner,’ Black said firmly, ‘and, therefore, I rule in my house.’ “ ‘Well,’ said Brown, ‘before we were married my wife and I made an agree ment that I should make the rulings in all the major things, and she in all the minor ones.' “Brown smiled wanly. ‘So far,’ he replied, ‘no major matters have come up.' ”—Exchange.
