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

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

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.

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.

[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
