Not a Bite of ■ Breakfast Until You Drink Water Say* a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents Illness and keeps us fit. Just as coal, when It burns, leaves behind a 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 a certain amount of indigestible mate rial, which if not completely eliminat ed from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptomaine 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 wa ter with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous day's accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh. Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wako up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to got a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or storekeeper, and be gin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is suffi cient to make anyono 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, while 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.—Adv.

"Then that, is votir final decision, Alice?" “It is. I will not be circumscribed in my choice of acquaintances by any man's approbation or aversion, even though I am betrothed to him." Alice Thornton loved society, and. like all its lovers, had a strong pro pensity for the admiration of its most popular devotees of the opposite sex. Laurence Gerald a few weeks previous made his appearance in that town, and being reputed wealthy, ami possessing , an elegant manner, with a handsome form and countenance, had gained an easy access to the fashionable circle. Henry Clifford, the lover of Alice, had marked the particular attention bestowed on his betrothed by the new comer, and had made special inquiries in regard to Ills character. He could learn nothing definite, but was con vinced that Lawrence Gerald was not what he was represented to be. A number of times lie had warned Alice j to be careful liowr she encouraged his attentions. j Wayward and willful, Alice had dis regarded his caution, and now the wily tempter began to wind his coils around her heart—not that t>.e love of Alice for Henry Clifford was on the wane, but there was a fascination about, the other which seemed irresistible. Many of both sexes, even when united by a bond held sacred by the law of both God and man, have conic in con tact at some time with one w ho has charmed the thoughts away fora season, from loyalty to their companion and the attachment of home. ‘.‘If yon are not jealous.” continued Alice, “you would have no objection to my accompanying Mr. Gerald for a ride to-morrow. You did not inter- j pose any objections last week, when I 1 accompanied Mr. Walsh in his drive. : Besides, there is always a man servant | present.” Ilir IUMH, i uu nut wish to trifle in this matter. If r should permit you to receive the attentions of j one whose character is. to say the least, suspicious, I should not be doing inv i duty to either you or myself; and that I Mr. Gerald’s character is suspicious I have vo doubt. From what I have heard he is no tit companion for a lady of my love." “Only a stratagem of yours,” lightly replied Alice, “to have me discard him from my train. But it is of no avail. I must have more than hearsay to con vince mo.” “Then you are going to-morrow?” “Yes," was the pettish answer, “and, more than that, shall henceforth con sider myself free. I shall not be ham pered by a promise that confers a right on any man to dictate what 1 shall or What I shall not do.” “Alice,” said her lover, “think of What you are doing. I do not wish you to deprive yourself of the pleasure or confine yourself to my society. I have never been au exacting lover, and 1 have now only your welfare at heart.” “You are very considerate,” was the reply; “but my intellect is not compre hensive enough to appreciate it. I hope the next time you call you will bo in a loss contradictory mood.” “1 imagine that is a hiut that my presence is no longer endurable?” an swered her companion, in return to the last sentence. “If you wish to interpret my mean ing so,” was the unfeeling rejoinder. “Good evening, Alice.” “Good evening, Henry; call the day after to-morrow, and 1 will give you a description of to-morrow’s entertain ment.” He made no reply, but departed. Alice saw him pass down the walk, re lumed to the room, threw herself on the lofa, and was lost in thought. She felt that she had been hasty in dis lolving her engagement; for,' in truth, sho really oared more for her lover than she had been willing to admit. Her feeling for the other man she know was similar to the emotion with which wo listen to a new pieco of music—charming while the novelty lasts, but no sooner is that gone than the power of attraction is over. Her willfulness had caused little breaches between them before, but she had never failed, when they met, to bring him to her side again and effect a reconcilia tion. She trusted that the present breach would terminate the same way. The next day Alice went with Mr. Gerald but did not enjoy herself as much as she anticipated.' On return ing home sho resolved that a note should be sent to her discarded lover the next day inviting Him to call, when she would make a clean breast of it mil break off her connection with Mr. I Gerald. The note bad been dispatched but half an hour when the evening ' paper arrived. Opening it she ran her | Byes down the columns and came to the fallowing notice: “Sailed this morning, at 11 a. in., the iteamship Morning Light, for San Francisco. Several residents from this town were among the passengers. Mr. Henry Clifford, very unexpectedly to Ivis friends, resigned his position in the Custom House and tas& Massage. May fortune •tw£®Sti!3KS,£22S52ila of the WeA." • • e e • Ten veare BMM&. •pnrious salons of Mrs. Hexford were filled with the elite of the town. The hostess was promenading the room, leaning on the arm of a tall man with a brouzed com plexion. By her atteution she ap peared to ho very much interested in an account lie was giving of a narrow es cape from a baud of robbers while pass ing between one of the mining dis tricts and a city of California. Another arrival—a rather late one— announced. The gentleman paused at the appearance of the newcomers, anil bent a quick, searching glance toward one of the ladies of the company, hut seemed disappointed at the utterance of the name, as he immediately re sumed his narrative, the hostess, after the reception, returning to his side. The recital of his adventure elided, and the party last arrived having recognized and spoken to their ac quaintances. Mrs. Hexford wended her way to where the lady, who she noticed, hail been fallowed by the eyes of her companion, was standing. “Mies Burdeuott, permit me to in troduce to your acquaintance my friend—recently from California—Alt-. Clifford,” said Mrs. Hexford, pre.vsnt I ing the latter. “Miss—Miss Burdenott,” mused Henry Clifford. “If Mrs. Rexford had said Mrs. Burdenott. I should say she was the once Alice Thornton." Miss Burdenott took Mr. Clifford's ! arm. “Miss Burdenott," said the latter, by way of opening the conversation, “yoii : remind me of a friend I had some I years ago, and, were it not for your ; name, I should believe you were the j same allowing for changes wrought by j time.” He felt a slight quivering of the hand j resting on his arm, but did not attri [ luite its origin to what he said. With out waiting a reply, he continued. “However, in features the likeness is complete; but in the expression I can sec some difference.” He ceased speaking, and receiving no answer, lie cast Ins eyes towards her countenance, and noticed that it was pale. Surprised, he changed the subject. Soou after ho surrendered her arm to an acquaintance; but his eye still wandered in her direction, and his mind recurred to the effect of his observations. Once or twice her eyes met his, but she would instantly di-op them, or turn some other way. He retired from Mrs. Rexford’s house, bewildered. During all of his years of absence lie had not heard from Alice Thornton, and lie supposed that she had long since become tlie wife of another. Miss Burdenott’s resem blance to his early love recalled the past, and, but for the name, he would have addressed her as his yet loved Alice. Moved by conflicting thoughts, he entered his own room and threw Him self in a chair. “What if Alice repented of the course she was pursuing when I left? What if she lias waited all these years, hoping for my return? But no, It cannot be. j Ten years is a long time. The thought ; is a chimera, and I will dismiss it as ! such,” were the reflections that coursed through his brain. rri.c r..ii:_. a _ oustomed to exposure and tired of his confinement, after dinner ho sauntered j forth. Everywhere enterprise had pro il need change. Dwellings had been changed into huge warehouses. He was thinking of the change when a little hand wras put before hitii and a • childish voice said: “Please give me something to buy some coals and some thing to eat. Ma hasn’t had anything ; to eat since yesterday.” Casting down his eyes he beheld a slight, frail iiguro 'scantily clothed. | Having a taste for adventure lie in quired: “Where docs ma live?” Being informed, he told the little one I he would accompany her. Pleased with I his readiness, she moved off briskly, j He was conducted to a narrow' street, I through a short alley, up two flights j of stairs, and ushered into a room, j Scanning it hastily he saw that the meagre furniture was tidy, and that a woman, wasted by disease, was lying j on a bed in one corner. No tire was ! burning, and the room was cold and | cheerless. Taking out a piece of money, he asked his little guide if she could go to the nearest shop and order some wood and coal, and something to cat, and have them sent in immediately. Wait ing a few moments, the needed articles arrived, aud taking the wood, with His own hands, lie soon had a cheerful lire blazing in the grate. He was on the point of starting out in quest of a physician when the door opened, and another girl, evidently a couple of years older than the one with him, entered, accompanied by a muffled lady bear ing a basket. The lady on beholding a man bending in front of the grate, at first drew back; but as he rose, she recognized Him. moved forward, and, throwing off the hood of her cloak, ex claimed, “Mr. Clifford!” “Miss Burdenott!” was the response. A few words sufficed to explain that tho sick woman was one with whose circumstances Miss Burdenott had be come familar, and had employed as a seamstress. Miss Burdenott having been away from the town some time, and having returned only the day be fore, had not learned until that morn ing of the woman’s helpless condition. Mr. Clifford, with alacrity, procured a physician, and when he returned the sick woman was drinking a cup of tea. After the departure of the physician, and when the woman was comforta ble, they took two of the four rickety chairs, sat down bv the lire aud talked i : r i... ! i / GAVE MAMMA AWAY.

Mi3s Bur denott rose hastily, saying that she must return home or search would be made for her. Mr. Clifford proffered himself as escort, and was accepted. He offered to obtain a fly, but as the snow had ceased to fall, the lady said she preferred walking. Arriving at her residence, she invited him to enter. Passing to her room a few moments, on her return he was struck more than ever with her resemblance to Alice. Alice—for Miss Burdenott was no other than Alice Thornton—noticed his perplexed gaze, and then tendered an explanation. Her mother’s only brother was opposed to his sister's mar riage with her father, and at his death, her mother and futher both being dead, had made a will leaving his wealth to her, with the proviso that she should adopt the maiden name of her mother. She told him of the note she had for warded tlie day he started for Cali fornia; her surprise. mortification and sorrow when she learned he had gone; her hope that he would return at some subsequent time; her patient waiting, determined to live single until she either heard of his death or that her place in his heart had been filled by another. “Our experience inthe past.” he said, folding her in his arms, “will qualify us the better for enjoyment in the future.” ner eyes, beaming with love and happiness, were raised towards his, and lips touched hers as she softly whis pered, “Lost and won.”—N. Y. World. CAUSE OF HIS DOWNFALL The Bargain Counter Was Responsi ble for the Pink Shirt Washington Star: He went to his rlesk in tne treasury department one day wearing a violently pink madras shirt. It was solid pink, without a break anywhere. It is true that he1 had tried to hide it all under a big black neck tie, but some of It shone through the openings of his waistcoat at the neck. Even that little was sufficient to cause a commotion. The women In the room looked shocked and the men began to confer about the matter in a mysteri ous manner as If an unhealthy intruder hcd come into their midst. Finally one of them edged up to him and asked: “Anything the matter at home?” He couldn't understand the question, but he said that everything was all right. "How much did you win or lose last night?” another one asked, after he had moved up in an awe-stricken manner. “On what?” he asked, but received no reply to his question, and his in terrogator merely looked at him in a sad kind of way. "Playing the races by wire, are you?” inquired a third one of his friends, who had curiously kept aloof from him, ex cept to edge around and ask one of these apparently silly questions. "I don’t play the races, and you know it,” he said, “and why all this fool business among you people?" Nothing more was said for a while, and then a fourth friend walked around and inquired: “Promoting pugilists now, keeping a pawn shop or living a double life?” This question was sufficient for him to demand an explanation, and then his friends gathered and explained to him that this terrible pink shirt had caused those who knew him to fear that he was either losing his mind or had at last become a sport in the full est sense of the word. Then for the first time he felt the degradation that had fallen upon him. With tears in his eyes, and gathering himself together, he madft this state ment: “My downfall is due to bargain days In the stores. These bargains are the cause of womankind and mankind. I saw where a certain store was selling $1.50 shirts for 39 cents. That was too tempting, and I went to see the shirts. The salesman demurred when I told him they were too red. ‘They Just suit your complexion,’ he said, ‘and they are the best bargains we ever offered. We are selling them merely because they are broken lots and because their color Is a little strong. But all fashion able men wear them.’ All this had noth ing to do with it, however. The thought of getting $1.50 for 39 cents was too much, and I bought something I didn’t need or want. Then I concluded to wear the shirt just to get something out of it. I realize that I have done wrong, and I ask my friends to remember the cause of this downfall.” When he finished a great splotch of tears fell down on his table of figures on treasury appropriations and he sobbed aloud. ■a.v.'mn.i1...i i.i.i- i.-t, i.» SEASON OF PERIL. - I Di course everybody knows that a grip year is a season of peril for old people and drunkards. Is it a season of truce for babies? No. The Chicago health department bulletin, dated ( Christmas day. 1915, tells us what , killed the babies in 1914. Leading the list was diarrhoea. ! Rather a close second was congenital defects and accidents of birch—the babies who died before they had well begun. A close third came cold and pneumonia. Colds and pneumonia killed 1,336 babies in 1914, while all such forms of contagion as Whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria only killed 235. At this season of the year colds and pneumonia kill more Imbies than does diarrhoea, teething, or anything else. Diarrhoea is the summer terror to the mother of a young baby. Colds and pneumonia are her winter terrors. j Is this death rate necessary? No. The mothers who take courses on in ftint care in the public schools, in lave-a-Little-Longer leagues, who at tend the Infant Welfare stations, or who study the subject In books know how to prevent summer complaint in their babies. There are parts of every city where there is practically no baby death rate front summer complaint. The next step is to get mothers equally interested in preventing colds and pneumonia in babies. Grown peo ple get much of their pneumonia from crowds, babies, except hospital babies, do not get pneumonia from crowds. Babies do catch colds from other pco- ! pie. The older children come home from school with colds nr the father gets a cold at the office. The chance is ex cellent that the susceptible baby will have a cold a few days later. | The first lesson for the mother to J learn is that colds should be quaran- , lined out of the nursery. No easy job, I admit, where there are several chil- f dren and the house is small and tho t servants few. Babies catch colds from overheated rooms. If a young baby develops a eold the chance is that the cause is some thing other than an ordinary infection. A physician should be called at once, as the probability is that the baby has a serious congenital disease. After the first week in the summer time and after the first month at other seasons of the year the baby should have some open air during every day that is at all fit. rTvhf» torriDorntnrfi flu* vinroorp should be several degrees lower than I adults permit of. Temperatures over j 70 which adults stand for months j without serious disadvantage cause ! babies to get a cold within a few j days. Perhaps the reason is that every ! adult not a shut in gets a bit of open ' air every day. The baby is a shut in unless somebody makes it a business to see that it is not. The windows of the nursery should be opened and the air flushed out at short intervals. ♦ ♦♦♦■♦♦■♦♦♦ + ♦ + +> + ♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ RECIPES FOR USE OF COCOA. ♦ ♦ ^.. . + To the housewife who must rack her brains every day to think of something new to make in the line of desserts, .t will prove something of a pleasant sur prise to learn that the introduction of cocoa, instead of chocolate, in certain desserts not only brings a new taste into the product, but is often of greater convenience to the maker. For what kitchen has not a supply of coacoa? Cut out these recipes and give them a fair trial—and you’ll be as much sur prised as pleased: Cocoa Bread Pudding. Use two cups of milk, one cup of dried break broken into small pieces, 12 teaspoons (one and three-fourth ounces) of pure cocoa, two eggs, one third cup of sugar, one-fourth tea spoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of vanilla and four tablespoons of pow dered sugar. Soak the bread in the milk until very soft, then press through a colander. Dissolve the cocoa in a lit tle of the milk and mix with the bread, Stir well, beat the yolks of the eggs with the granulated sugar; add the salt and mix these with the bread, milk and cocoa. Pour into a pudding dish in a pan of warm water. Bake in a moder ate oven about half an hour—until firm in the center, or, if tried with a knife, the knife comes free from milk or egg. Beat the whites of the eggs very stiff, and slowly add the powdered sugar. Place this meringue on top and brown slightly. Serve hot or cold and with or without whipped cream that has been flavored and sweetened. French Cocoa Pudding. The Ingredients for French cocoa pudding are: One-half box of gela tine, six teaspoons (1 ounce) of pure cocoa, one-half cup of cold water, one cup of milk, one-half teaspoon of va nilla, four teaspoons of sugar, one-half cup of seeded raisins, one-fourth cup of currants, one tablespoon of citron; cut in small squares. Soak the raisins, citron and cleaned currants in boiling: water for half an hour. Soak the gel atine in cold water for half an hour. Melt the cocoa in hot water. Heat the milk In double boiler and, when it is hot, add the cocoa, sugar and gelatine. Remove from the fire and strain all into a bowl, add the fruit and, when cool, add the vanilla; stir from time to time until the mixture begins to stiffen, then turn into a wet mold. Allow it to stand in the refrigerator for several hours, then turn it out xnd garnish with whipped cream and a few candied berries. It may, of course, be served without cream. Cocoa Bavarian Cream. Use one-half cup of milk, one-half pint of cream, two eggs, one-fourth box of gelatine, one-third cup of sugar, six teaspoons (one ounce) of pure cocoa, one-third cup of cold water, one-half teaspoon of vanilla. Soak the gela tine in the cold water half nn hour; melt the cocoa; heat the milk in a dou ble boiler; beat the yolks and sugar together; pour tire warm milk Into these and mix well; return to the dou ble boiler and stir until it thickens— no longer. Remove from the fire, add the gelatine, cocoa and vanilla; ther. strain and let it cool. When it stiffens, add the whipped cream and mix gently, but thoroughly. Turn into a wet mold and set in the refrigerator for several hours. Turn out and serve; or. garnish with more whipped cream, flavored and sweetened _ Art Criticism. From the Kansas City Star.

I Wrong food and drink cause a lot of trouble in this world. To change is first aid when a person is ill, particu larly from stomach and nervous trou bles. As an Illustration: A lady in Mo. was brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with her. She says: “For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse until 1 was ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began using. Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so re duced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me. "Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two princi pally for about four months. Day by day I gained in flesh and strength un til the nervous trouble had disap peared. I feel that I owe my health, to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
