j in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water eafeh morning before breakfast. i _ . -*— Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapaci tated by illness. If we all would practice inside-bath ing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souis with pasty, muddy complexions we Bhould see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The rea son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys tem nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the Are will burn bright and hot, so wo must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day’s accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, wheth er sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in It, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomnch, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying tho entire alimentary canal before put ting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quar ter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much from your druggist or at the store, hut is sulAclent to dem onstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.—Adv.

Quinine Famine Is Feared. (From The Indianapolis News.) lo nine? At tTio breaking out of the war (sul phate of quinine was gelling at about 20 cents an ounce, wholesale. A year ago It sold for 40 cents; today It Is selling for $1.50 an ounce. When It Is stated that during the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1914, the last normal year prior to the war, the United States Imported nearly 3,000,000 ounces of sulphate of quinine, then valued at about $050,000, and over 8,648,000 pounds of cinchona bark, valued at $464,000, It may bo seen what such a difference in prlco nmy mean to tho country. Great Britalncontrols the cinchona bark Industry In her possessions of India, Coy Ion and Jamaica, and Holland the product of Java, and these are the sections of the world which have been furnishing practic ally Its supply of quinine, In the form of cinchona bark, for the last 30 or 35 years. Great Britain Is carefully husbanding the supply for tho uso of her armies and those of her allies, while the Dutch must be de pended upon to supply thoso of tho central powers. Armies In tho Held need a vastly larger supply of qulnlno than would the same number of men In ordinary occupa tions—hence a quinine fumino Is feared for tho rest of the world. Time was when certain countries of South America, where the cinchona trees originated, supplied the world, and the story of quinine and how It was intro duced Into Europe Is told by Edward Al bes In the current number of tho Bulletin of the Pan American Union. Once upon a time—278 years ago, to be more exact—In her vlceroyal castle In Lima, Peru, a lady lay til of a fevor. She was the Countess Ana, wife of the fourth count of Chlnchon, who at the time was viceroy of Peru. News of the lady’s 111 nesa having reached one Don Juan Lopez do Cannlzares, tho Spanish corregldor of I,oxu, who dwelt some 230 miles south of Quito, In what Is now the republic of Ec uador, he dispatched a parcel of a certain kind of powdered bark to her physician, Juan do Vega, with the assurance that it was a sovereign remedy and a never fall ing specific In cases of intermittent fe\«er He knew tlds to be true from both ex perience and observation, for about eight years prior to this event he had suffered from a sevoro attack of fever, and had been cured by an old Indian of Malaeotas, wno had thus revealed the1 remarkable properties of this bark. Since then he had observed Its effects In many other cases. The remedy was tried and the countess ♦ the state militia ♦ From the Kansas City Star. How came about the paradox that “the right of the people to bear arms ’—a phrase that Is classic In the annals of democracy—should have come to be a rallying cry against preparedness for national defense? The answer Is to be found In the deep rooted distrust of the English and Ameri can people toward standing armies, a dis trust that has outlived by centuries the causes that guve It rise. Those causes date back to a time when a regular army meant a mercenary army, ami mercenary armies—using the term in its original sense—are now unknown In Europe and never were known In America. When the Virginia bill of rights de clared that standing armies were danger ous to liberty It means the kind of stand ing armies the English kings had tried to keep and which the English people had prevented them from keeping. Before William of Orange was Invited to take the throne from which James II had been driven he was compelled to give assent to this declaration which sealed the vic tory of English subjects In tlielr long con test with the crown: "That the raising or keeping a standing army, within the king dom In time of peace, unless It be with the consent of parliament, is against taw.'' With that revolution ceased any possi bility that the liberties of England ever would be subverted by kingly power; that the liberties of America ever would be subverted by military tyranny there never was possibility. Yet. both In England and America there has persisted to this •lay the distrust of permanent military sstabllshments which in this country took expression in the famous declaration of the Virginia bill of rights: "That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms. Is the proper, natural and safe defense of a free state,” It mattered not that regular armies, a9 now raised by every country, are "com posed of the body of the people.” or that the absolute control of such armies. In all free states. Is In the hands of legis lative assemblies of the people. uaiuv h‘*cu uy 1110 auui lglnes to the tree on which grew this won derful bark was “qulna-qulna.” In 1640 the count of Chinchon returned to Spain with his wife. She took with her a quantity of the healing bark, and thus was tho llrst person to Introduce it Into Europe. Subsequently, some of the Jesuit missionaries In Brazol sent paroels of the powdered bark to Rome, whence it was* distributed by the Cardinal do Lugo to other members of the fraternity through out Europe. It was, therefore, often Jesuits’ bark and sometimes Cardinal’s bark. Something over 100 years after the countess of Chinchon had Introduced It Into Spain, Linnaeus, tho great Swedish botanist, In malting his classification of all known trees and plants, to commemorate tho service rendered to mankind by that lady, named the genus which yields the bark cinchona, and subsequently sHll fur ther Immortalized the name by giving It to the great family of trees and plants now known as the Chinchotlaceae, which Includes not only the Chlnchonae, but also the Impecacuanas and the coffees. In their native habitat, In Peru, Ecun dar, Bolivia and Colombia, tho trees flourish in a cool and equable temperature on tile slopes and In the valleys and ra vines of the mountains, surrounded by tho most majestic scenery, never descending below an elevation of 2,500, and ascending as high as 9,000 feet above the sea. When lti good soil and under favorable circum stances, they becomo large forest trees on the higher elevations and when crowd ed and growing In rocky ground, they fre quently run up to great heights without a branch; and at the upper limit of their zone they become mere shrubs. The leaves In the finest species are lanceolate, with a shining surface of bright green, traversed by crimson veins, ami petioles of the same color. Tho flowers are small and hang In clustering panicles, like lilacs, generally of a deep roseate coolr, paler near the stalk, dark crimson within the tube, with curly hairs bordering the laneinlae of the corolla, and give forth a delicious fra grance. About 65 years ago Sir Clements Mark ham, the English scientist and traveler, succeeded In getting a quantity of seeds and plants of the various valuable species of the clnchonaceae, which were taken to India for the purpose of staring cin chona plantations. Market success fol lowed the experiment, and subsequently plantations were started In Ceylon and Jamaica. The Dutch were successful In their efforts in Java. Still the Anglo-Saxon idea clung to the distinction between “militia" and “regu lars" and refused to accept the obvious fact that both were recruited from a common citizenship. In America the shadow of the distinction was made more real by the federal form of government. The militia belongs to the state, the regu lar army to the nation. The one is the exercised right of the people to bear arms, the other a “professional" military estab lishment. Tiie one represents to the av erage man the "proper, natural and safe defense” of the nation, the other a dan gerous rival, requiring .to be jealously watched, of the civil power of the people. If the evils apprehended by the colonists from a standing army had been real, a “well regulated militia * * * trained to arms" might indeed have been the coun try's “proper, natural and safe defense." But the militia never has lived up to that description given it by George Mason of Virginia, and the chief reason it never be came a real military force was because those evils turned out to he imaginary, the regular army never showing any dis position to become a Praetorian guard. The result has been that the theoretical defense of the United States has for more than a century rested upon the mere plan of a structure that never was built. The militia—improperly called the na tional guard, which it is not—never has been “well regulated," never has been “trained to arms" and never has been a “safe defense" for the nation. Of it Washington said: “If I was called upon to decide upon oath whether the militia had been most serviceable or hurtful (in the revolutionary war) upon the whole l should subscribe to the latter.'' With this opinion of the militia as a “safe defense" every military authority of note the Unit ed States has produced, from General Up ton to General Wood, has agreed. Thus “the right of the people cO bear arms." a right so strenuously insisted upon and never exercised, has coma to be a chief stumbling block in the way of real preparedness for national defense. Young America was so afraid of the spec j ter of militarism that it refused to the na tional government the control of the mi litia. and now when grown up America has awakened to the need of defense It is to ilnd its supposedly chief arm. con filled to the care of th6 states, a rusted and useless weapon. WE MAY NOT MEET AGAIN. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) "Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; Home-keeping hearts are happiest. For those who wander—they know not where, Arc full of trouble and full of care. To stay at home is best." I Into every heart some time in life, j whether early or late, comes love when Lfwo meet who are so congenial that they I sfeem to be Intended for each other. Both feel this intuitivewly, though no word has been spoken. The cares of life and untoward circum- | stances decree ofttlmes that happiness for each other is not for them. The path of the one is smooth and the other rugged. When they clasp hands to say goodbye, they know In that moment how dear each Is to the other. Friendship is but a cold word to express what they feel for one another. Both realize that they may nev er meet again. Were it not for that possibility, many a man would declare his love and ask that she give her hand at the altar as well as her heart before .his departure. The fear that she might not give her immediate consent holds him silent. Love would bid him stay. But the faroff country where first he saw the light needs him In the hour of adversity. He stands before her, strong, brave, handsome and reliant. As such he has won her. Were ho to come back to her maimed, blinded, shorn of all that made him what he was to her, in this moment would he have a right to cling desperately to her promise and hold her to it should their vows be plighted In this parting hour? The thought "we may not meet again" holds tho love words on his Ups unspoken. Not alone Is the man who Is about to face the fortunes of a soldier fearful that t>i and the girl he loves may not meet again. Lovers who hastily agree that they will part after a quarrel, experience the same heart heaviness. One word leads to another. “Do you wish all to be over?” he asks, hoping desperately that she will not consent to It. Many a sweetheart’s Ups have answered "Yes,” when her heart cried "No! No!” In that angry farewell they looked in each other’s eyes feeling that they might never meet again. Every mother and father who sees a loved son go from them out Into the world, far, far away has this feeling In the heart: "We may not meet again, dear one; we may not meet again.” Youth Is sanguine. The son kisses both wrinkled cheeks fervently, and says with enthusiasm. "When I have made my pile I will come back, to you again!” Fervent youth seldom realizes the changes that may crown! themselves between the pres ent and the time when his hopes might bo fulfilled. The thought seldom or never occurs to him that he may be looking on their faces for the last time. It Is wisest and best that this should not come to one. When goodbyes are spoken how much better for each to whisper to the other that mystical word “Mlzpah,” which means "God be with thee and me until we meet again." ‘Being Musical.’ Thomas W. Surette in the Atlantic. What is called 'being musical’ cannot be passed on to some one else or to something else; you cannot be musical vicariously—through another person, though so many thousand dollars, through civic pride, through any other of the many means we employ. Being musical does not necessarily lie in per forming music; it is rather state of be ing which every individual who can hear is entitled by nature to attain to in a greater or less degree. The Failure of American Criticism. Edward Garnett in the Atlantic. The recurring failure, the ancient failure of American criticism, is its inability to recognize and appraise what the artistic force in literature achieves, and thnt while this remains so, its standard of critical values rests upon sand. A machine for digging holes for tele phone poles has made a record of 50 poles an hour under the most favorable conditions. [IMG FOG THE END OF THE WAR ; 'Then Take Advantage of the Opportunities in Canada.” (Contributed by W. J. White, of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada.) I strolled into a bank in one of the cities of the west a short time ago and 'ho bank manager said after the war, the Canadians should be pre pared for a great influx of people. The crops that the western Canadian farms have produced in 1915, and the wealth that the farmers have had thrust upon them by the high price of grain, will make farm lands valu able and farming remunerative. After the war is over thero will be thou sands go to Canada to engage in agri culture and many other industries that will certainly prove profitable. Condi tions will be wonderfully good. The advertising that Canada has had dur ing the last year or two by its magnifi cent contribution of over 250,000 men to fight for the Empire, the wonderful sums it has given to the Red Cross and Patriotic funds, the excellent showing it made in subscribing over double when only 50 millions of dollars was asked as a war loan, the brav ery, courage and hardihood of the sol diers who have fought the battles in Flanders, it is just wonderful,” and my enthusiastic banker grew eloquent One might have thought he was a sub sidized booster for Canada. “But,” he said, “they won’t go until after the war.” “Well, now, Mr. -, why wait un til after the war? If all you say be true, and you have said nothing yet of the wonderful bank clearings of Canada today, nothing of the fact that the immense grain crop of Western Canada this year has given to every man, woman and child in that coun try, over three hundred dollars per head, why wait until after the war? After the war, under such conditions as you have pictured (and which are real) land values will go up, prices will increase. Advantage should be taken of the low prices at which these agricultural lands can be had today. They have not increased any as yet, and excellent farm lands can be had close to railways in old settlements, in excellent communities for from fif teen to thirty dollars per acre. The climate is good and will be no better after the war.” "What about conscription, though? Is there not a danger from conscrip tion, and should I advise any to go there now, would they not have to face it? Then too, there is the report that there is a heavy war tax on lands.” I was surprised to learn that these old yarns, stories that I thought had been exploded long ago, were still do ing duty in many parts of the United States, and that a gentleman of the wide learning of my friend, was in clined to believe them. "Conscription!" I said. “With Can ada contributing 250,000 men voluntari ly enlisted, why conscription? There Is no conscription in Canada, and neither will there be. It is not need ed. In any case no legislation could be passed by the Dominion Parliament which would impose military service upon people who are not citizens of Canada, either by birth or naturaliza tion. Settlers from the United States could not become naturalized British ouujcuic uuui iiicj mm irsiutu ill Canada continuously for three years." I quoted from official documents. "In the first few months of the war f clearly stated that there would not be conscription in .Canada. I repeat '.hat statement today.” "And then as to taxes.” I continued, juoting again from official authority. ‘All taxes levied by the Federal Gov ernment take the indirect form of cus toms excise and inland revenue du ties. It is untrue that farmers are paying direct war-tax levies and no Intending settler need hesitate to some to Canada on this account. “Official denials should convince you chat all apprehensions which have been making somo would-be-settlers from the United States hesitate to make a change while the war lasts ire without foundation. With these misunderstandings cleared up, the present war conditions even become m added inducement to settlement in iny part of the provinces of western Canada, inasmuch as war prices and been demands for all manner of farm products afford the farmer a special opportunity to make money.” 1 was glad of the chance and pleased to have him state that his flews had altogether changed. I could have continued, and told him of the fortunes that had been made in the season of 1915, out of farming, wheat growing, oat growing, barley growing, cattle raising, dairying and mixed farming. I could have told him of an Ottawa (Canada) syndicate that had a yield of 130 bushels of oats per acre from their farm at Wain wright and from 60 acres of wheat field they threshed over 60 bushels per acre. These yields while phenomenal, were repeated in many portions of western Canada. It was interesting to inform him that the average yield of spring wheat in Saskatchewan was 35.16 bushel-i per acre; Manitoba, 36.3 bushels, in Alberta. 36.16 bushels, and over the three province •• there was a total average of over 30 bushels per acre. "The immense crop that has just been harvested lias put millions of do I lars in the hands of the farmers, and the work of distribution thrqugh the regular channels of trade has already i begun. Millions of bushels of grain X are still in the hands of the farmers. f which means that there is a vast store of realizable wealth that will be stead ily going into circulation, benefitting the thousands who are dependent in directly on the basic industry of the province for their livelihood. "The mock prosperity that rested on A , the insecure foundation of inflated real ™ estate values has passed away, and in i its place the corner stone of the coun- ft try's sound financial future is being t built. } “The trust and mortgage companies. / the large implement concerns and the ' wholesale merchants all tell the same story today of marked improvement in their business. The farmers and others are meeting their just dues and paying off debts that in many cases have been long overdue. Collections are better today than they have been since the most prosperous days of our history, and obligations are being met freely and promptly. “Now.” I said, “why should they wait until the war is over?” And he agreed with me.—Advertise ment.

Remember the "dose” mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it’s different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don’t realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well-found- l ed. Their tender little "insides” are injured by them. If your child’s stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs.” Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative” handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row.
