Not a Bite ot
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says 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 mask 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 wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get 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 anyone 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.

"Pa," said the six-year-old, "what is
a prince?”
"A prince,” said his father, “is a
king's little boy. Now, if I were a
king you would be a prince.”
The youngster thought it over for a
moment.
"Why don't you be one?” he asked.
No sick headache, sour stomach,
biliousness or constipation
by morning.
Get a 10-cent box now.
Turn the rascals out—the headache,
biliousness, indigestion, the sick, sour
stomach and foul gases—turn them
out to-night and keep them out with
Cascarets. **
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset stom
ach.
Don’t put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach;
remove the sour, fermenting food;
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great. -
•A Cascaret to-night straightens you
out by morning. They work while
you sleep. A 10-cent box from
any drug store means a clear head.
Bweet stomach and clean, healthy liver
and bowel action for months. Chil
dren love Cascarets because they
never gripe or sicken. Adv.

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Eat Less Meat If Kidneys Hurt op You
Have Backache or Bladder Misery
—Meat Forms Uric Acid.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
wqjl-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou
ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tions to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to neu
tralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
Injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink which all reg
ular meat eaters should take now and
then to keep the kidneys clean and
the blood pure, thereby avoiding se
rious kidney complications.—Adv.

The Legislative League
Governor Morehead will occupy the
toastmaster’s chair at the banquet of
the Nebraska Legislative league on
the evening of February 25, accord
ing to announcement made by Henry
C. Richmond of Omaha, secretary of
the league, Friday mornwig. Mr. Rich
mond called upon the governor at his
office and obtained his consent to of
ficiate at the head of the speakers’
table. The banquet will take place at
the Lindell hotel, starting about 6
o’clock. Among those who are expect
ed to talk are John M. Thurston of
Omaho, R. B. Windham of Platts
mouth, T. J. Majors of Peru. W. J.
Taylor of Merna, John Mattes of Ne
braska City and W. R. Patrick of
Bellevue. Secretary Richmond hopes
also to secure Marsh Elder, the famous
populist speaker of the house in the
1891 session, for a toast.
Form of Primary Ballot Uncertain.
Secretary of State Pool declines
just at present to make any official rul
ing on the form of the ballot to be
used in the state primaries. April IS.
The last legislature changed the bal
lot law for general elections so as to
have the names of the candidates and
propositions printed in three columns,
instead of one, thereby cutting down
the length and increasing the width
of the sheet. Mr. Pool is personally
of the opinion, however, that the
Blauser act relating to the ballot for
general elections does not apply at
the primaries, and that the party tick
ets should be made up according to
the old style. Others at the capitol
take a different view, pointing out that
the legislature never intended to have
two different ballot forms in use, that
the primaries are governed by the gen
eral election law. except where there
is specific provision to the contrary.
An opinion from the state legal de
partment will probably be secured by
the secretary of state for his guid
ance.
Beauty Not a True Standard.
Declaring that physical beauty is not
a true standard for judging the worth
of a woman, University of Nebraska
girls, as represented by the senior and
junior societies of the Black Masques
and Silver Serpents, have refused to
nominate twenty from their number
for a “beauty section” in the 1916
university year book, the “Corn
husker.” The resolution of refusal to
suggest the names of the twenty most
beautiful girls, was unanimously
adopted at a meeting of the two so
cieties.
Cannot Lawfully Sign Two Petitions.
No man in the state can sign more
than one governorship petition or peti
tion for any office, for that matter. If
he does he is guilty of a misedmeanor
and is therefore subject to county jail
Imprisonment from one to six months.
This revolutionary legal provision is
pointed out in an opinion given by
Deputy State’s Attorney Barrett. Ap
Inquisitive reporter discovered that
eleven prominent democrats of this
:ity had signed both the Berge and
Bryan petitions.
PRIMARY ELECTION.
Tuesday, April 18, Is Day Set
By Law.
Governor Morehead has issued his
proclamation for a primary election to
be held Tuesday, April 18, for the fol
lowing purposes:
To express a preference for candi
dates by each of the political parties
for president and vice president of the
United States.
For'nomination-at-large of two can
didates at large and one from each
congressional district in the slate for
presidential electors by each of the
political parties.
For the election of four delegates
at-large and two from each congres
sional district in the state to the na
tional convention of the respective pa
litical parties and for a like num
; her of alternates.
' For the election of one national
j committeeman for each of the said
| political parties.
For the nonpartisan nomination ol
two candidates for chief justice of the
| supreme court to till vacancy and six
I candidates for judges of the supreme
court.
By each political party, the nomina
tion of one candidate for United
States senator.
One candidate for congress from
each of the six congressional dis
tricts.
Also candidates for the following of
fices: One governor, one lieutenant
I governor, one railway commissioner,
two regents of the state university,
one state auditor, one state treasurer
j one secretary of state, one attorney
i general, one commissioner of public
! lands and buildings, one superintend
i ent of public instruction, thirty-three
state senators in twenty-eight sena
torial districts, 100 representatives
from the seventy-seven districts. Dis
trict judge.
Objects to Commissioner’s Figures.
The figures cited by the Nebraska
railway commission to prove that the
| Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Rail
! road company can maintain a 2 cent
I passenger rate over its Nebraska lines
and still realize a fair profit are not
j at all satisfactory to the Rock Island.
The company has a lot of figures of
i its own sho ving that the rate is un
reasonable and unfair.
■ In a thirty-page statement filed with
the clerk of the federal court Thurs
day afternoon E. H. Smith, an ac
countant and rate expert employed by
the Rock Island, makes an exhaustive
review of the "volume of exhibits"
: prepared by U. G. Powell, rate expert
for the state railway commission, and
i details wherein he believes Mr. Pow
; ell and the commission have erred in
preparing their side of the case in the
suit brought by the Rock Island ta
' bring about a higher passenger rate
' Some of the commission’s figures, Mr
, Smith maintains, should not be given
| serious consideration. Others, he ar
gues, were reached without apparent
basis of fact.
Unappropriated Cash Funds.
There is now in the hands of State
Treasurer Hall the sum of $94,835 in
iold, unappropriated cash funds which
ought to be turned into the general
fund and used for paying the miscel
laneous expenses of the state govern
ment. as recommended by State Ac
- countant DeFrance in a report made
to the governor and the auditor.
Of this amount, $90,568 is fees
turned in by the food commission prior
to April 1, 1915. The remainder con
sists of these items: Auditor's fees,
$514; state board of irrigation, $3,266;
state dairymen’s association, $234;
state veterinarian, $215; game and fish
commission. $38.
Accountant DeFrance finds furthet
that there is in the hands of Treasurer
Hall $45,486 of fees and cash funds
the status of which is uncertain. He
, calls these moneys ‘'unadjusted ac
] counts” and makes no recommendo
j tions concerning them. These ac
| counts are as follows: Board of health
secretaries, $1,411; board of pharmacy,
$2,606; board of osteopathy, $366;
board of optometry, $152; board of
embalmers, $38,246; railway- commis
I sion’s blue sky fees, $2,700. All of
I these moneys, except the last item,
jhave accumulated since April 1 last
; year.
Cash funds of the state institutions
under the board of control, the state
university and its branches, the state
normal schools and certain depart
ments, all of which were specifically
appropriated by the 1915 legislature,
now have balances aggregating $67,
829. the state accountant reports.
The grand total of all cash funds and
fees in the hands of the state treas
urer is $208,150.
Lorenzo D. Woodruff, a Lincoln
printer, has brought suit in district
court, against Governor Morehead, as
ex-officio chairman of the bureau of
printing, and E. A .Walrath, deputy
commissioner of the bureau of print
ing. to restrain them from permitting
the Milburn & Scott Printing com
pany of Beatrice printing the copies
of the proceedings of the Nebraska
State Historical society. The contract
was let to the Beatrice firm about
August 10, 1915, but the historical so
ciety has not yet furnished any copy
for the book.
Brings Suit to Enforce Payment
The counties of Gage and Stanton
having refused to pay the state for
the care of insane patients, suits of
the state to recover will be tried in
the supreme court. J. H. Broady of
Lincoln has been appointed referee to
take testimony and report findings
of fact and conclusions of law. The
county of Stanton owes the statt
about $5,000. ond Gage county owes
considerably more, according to the
petition of the state. Three years
ago W. B. Howard, state auditor, com
menced the collection of $96,000 due
from about two dozen counties un
der the provisions of the old law,
which required counties to pay the
state for their own insane maintain
ed in state hospitals for the insane.
All of the counties except Stanton
and Gage have either paid or prom
ised to pay.
Lincoln’s birthday was observed in
Nebraska as a state holiday for the
first time Saturday. In the affairs of
the ordinary citizen, however, it meant
only a few more flags flying, and a
thought or two of the great emanci
pator.

one tablespoonful beets or olives, salt
and red pepper to taste.
Boil potatoes in their jackets, then
peel, and when cold cut into cubes.
Mix together the potatoes, onion, green
pepper, parsley, olives, salt and a dash
of red pepper. Add the oil and vine
gar. Mix lightly and put in a salad
bowl. When ready to serve, open the
sardines, drain and wipe free from oil
and arrange on top of the salad in a
circle. Put the chopped beets or olives
in the center and serve. Brown or \
whole wheat bread goes well with this, j
This will serve three people. A salad j
of this description, with its fish and
its olive oil, meets the requirements
of an all around hearty and nourishing
dish.
Have you tried not polishing your i
cooking stove, but keeping it well j
washed? It saves your own aprons, |
tea towels, etc., and the children’s
clothes, if they come around the stove
in the kitchen.-*-Emma Paddock Tel

Grapefruit Salad.
The grapefruit is a cheap and dell- !
cious fruit. It makes an excellent I
hors d'oeuvre when cut in half, the ;
hard center and seeds removed, and ‘
a little maraschino or rum poured |
over it. It is equally successful as a !
salad. Select a large heavy fruit and
separate the flesh from the bitter
skin in good good-sized pieces. Line
the salad bowl with tender lettuce
leaves, chicory or romaine, add the
grapefruit, and sprinkle over it a
tablespoonful of finely chopped fines
herbs, then pour over this a good
French dressing, and garnish with
white, hard-boiled egg rings with an
olive curled in the center of each.
Supper Dish.
A novel and tasty way of serving
frankfurts and tomatoes for either a
supper or luncheon dish is as follows:
Put about a tablespoonful of butter
in a frying pan, and when melted
slice in a large onion and fry brown.
Add one can of tomatoes, one-half tea
spoonful of salt, a small amount of
red pepper and one whole clove. Take
one pound of frankfurts and remove
the skin and slice lengthwise into
halves, and remove and cook ten min
utes. Serve with baked potatoes.

Then add four and a half cupfuls of

potatoes, about three-quarters that
quantity of cold beets, and one-third

the fish to soften. Make a cream with

ful lard, one egg, one cupful sour milk

Searched Long for Mute Bride.
At a wedding celebrated at Peter
borough, England, a few days ago the
bride, bridegroom, best man, and
bridesmaid were all deaf and dumb.
The history of the courtship provides
romantic reading. The bridegroom
was formerly a motor bodymaker at
Peterborough, and while living there
was informed about a young lady liv
ing in the city who was also deaf and
dumb. For a long time he kept a
careful watch in the streets for peo
ple using the dumb alphabet, hoping
to discover the lady. The w-ould-be
wooer was disappointed for a con
siderable time owing to the fact that
the lady in question never used the
alphabet, hut lip formation of words.
At length he discovered her residence,
and proposing, was accepted.
