8ay glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.
LUSITANIA PROSPECTS GOOD
If you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; If what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilioua, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
juBt right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea-
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow-
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. 4 Do your
Snside bathing immediately upon aris-
ing in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous day's poison-
ous waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before yuai blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body im-
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper a quarter pound of lime-
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for a
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime-
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
•women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath-
ing before breakfast. They are as-
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.—Adv.
Industry is the mother of good luck.
DON'T SNIFFLE!
'Vou can rid yourself of that cold in
the head by taking Laxative Quinidine
Tablets. Price 25c. Also used in

PREPAREDNESS!
To Fortify The System Against Grip
when Giip is prevalent LAXATIVE BROMO
QUININE should be taken, as this combination
of Quinine with other ingredients, destcoys
terns, acts as a Tonic and Laxative and thus
keeps the system in condition to withstand
Colds, Grip and Influenza. There is only one

WILSON AND LANSING STUDYING
LATEST OFFER.
Germany Admits That Submarine Com.
mander Acted Fully Under
Orders.
Washington.—President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing have conferred on
the latest tentative draft of the com-
munication the German government
hopes will bring the negotiations over
the Lusitania disaster to a satisfactory
termination. Information that the out-
look for an early settlement of the case
again was| promising, was received
from various diplomatic and official
quarters.
German officials say the Berlin for-
eign office has gone as far as it pos-
sibly can to meet the proposition of
the United States. From high diplo-
matic quarters Sunday night came the
statement that Germany believes that
she has, with the exception of making
an out and out disavowal of the Lusi-
tania sinking, which she considers im-
possible, conceded every desire of the
United States and that the tentative
proposal materially strengthens the as-
surances already given on the nego-
tiations over the sinking of the steam-
ship Arabic. It is also claimed that the
tentative proposal covers all the fun-
damental issues involved in the con-
duct of submarine warfare in the North
Sea.
It is explained that a direct disavow-
al was given for the sinking of the
Arabic because that act. was a viola-
tion of the instructions given the com-
mander of submarines. In the case of
the Lusitania, however, the command-
er acted in accordance with orders.
The general instructions not to sink
liners without warning were given, it
was disclosed by high authority, on the
day after the Lusitania went down. It
was said that Germany withheld an-
nouncement of the fact for stragetical
naval reasons.
In the latest proposal there is no at-
tempt to deny responsibility for the
sinking of th« Lusitania. Germany as-
sumes liability for the American lives
lost, offers reparation by the payment
of indemnity and assures the United
States that the killing of Americans
was without intent. The destruction
of the liner was an act of reprisal for
the British blockade under the order in
council, according to the German view,
and reprisals should not be applied to
neutrals. The tentative communica-
tion also stated that the method of con-
ducting submarine warfare in the
North Sea has been modified because
ef friendship for the United States and
because American lives had been lost.
Nothing so soothing and healing for
red, rough and irritated hands as Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
Soak hands on retiring in hot Cuticura
soapsuds. Dry, and gently anoint hands
with Cuticura Ointment. A one-night
treatment works wonders.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS
BOTHER AND USE SALTS
Take a Glass of Salts Before Break-
fast if Your Back Is Hurting or
Bladder Is Irritated.
If you must have your meat every
/day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author-
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid-
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather la bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's ur'.nous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in-
jure, and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.—Adv.
An ounce of criticism is worth more
than a pound of flattery.
WELL, STRONG
AND HEALTHY
Doctor Recommended Cardui to
Build Up Her Strength. Said It
Was a Fine Medicine.
Mandarin, Fla.—"About 18 years ago,
after the birth of my child," writes
Madame C. Billard, of this place, "1
was in a very low and run-down
state of health, and was very weak.
Dr. then of ... recom-
mended that I take Cardui. He was
treating me, and he told me to take
it to build up my strength. Said it
was a fine modicine. I took 3 bottles
and it built me up. After the use of
2, I was greatly improved in flesh,
strength, and health, in fact was en-
tirely well, but took one more bottle
to be sure I'd taken enough. I was
able to do my work and was a well,
strong woman.
"I highly recommend it as a tonic. I
have never had bad health since, have
been well and strong and healthy ever
since."
Cardui, the woman's tonic, is a medi-
cine prepared from vegetable, medici-
nal ingredients, which have been found
to exert a tonic, building influence.
For over 40 years this medicine has
been used by the women of this coun-
try, and the thousands of letters, which
come to us every year, are proof of its
real therapeutic, beneficial medicinal
value.
If you are in need of a remedy for
womanly ills, take Cardui, the woman's
tonic. For sale by all druggists.

ARKANSAS CITY iS UNDER WATER
Citizens of Arkansas Town Fighting to
Save Their Levee.
Little Rock.—About 600 or 700 men
now remain in Arkansas City toiling,
strengthening the levees against the
fast rising waters of the Mississippi
river and they are hopeful that the
levee will hold and that the town will
be saved. The narrow strip of levee
Is the only land in sight here.
On one side is the great river, swol-
len until its surface is fifteen feet
above the level of the town. On the
other side of the levee is a great lake
formed by the flood waters that have
poured down rrom the north. This j
lake is nearly 40 miles long and 20 i
miles wide. From it only the upper
stories of buildings in Arkansas City
protrude. At the levee are three
steamboats ready to carry the plucky
fighters to safety should they lose their
battle with the flood. They are living
in the second stories of their homes
and in box cars on the levee.
Sunday the river rose two-thirds of a
foot to a level of 55.7 feet at Arkansas
City and was still rising slowly. Tele- '
graph service with the town still is
maintained and the last word from
there Sunday afternoon was an opti- j
mistic one: "We'll win the fight." j
flashed the operator.
The geat lake that extends from the
Arkansas river southward with the 1
Mississippi river levees as its eastern
bank has engulfed a score of towns |
In Southeastern Arkansas. At Lake
Village the flood water is rising at the
rate of a half inch an hour. At Gaines
Landing, four miles north of Lake Vil-
lage, 400 persons are on the levee with-
out shelter.
A relief train sent out from Little
Rock in charge of officials of the Iron
Mountain railroad Sunday morning
was able to proceed southward beyond
Grady. From there the workers are
voyaging in motor boats carrying food
to those who are in need and taking
many marooned families from their
submerged homes. The train carried
a large quantity of supplies from Little
Rock.
The list of known dead was increased
to sixteen Saturday by the drowning
of a boy on the main street of Arkan-
san City and the discovery near Aug-
usta of the body of Christy Taylor, a
young man who had set out In a motor
boat to rescue cattle from the White
river flood.

"Rape's Diapepsin" cures sick,
sour stomachs in five minutes
—Time It!
"Really does" put bad stomachs in
order—"really does" overcome indiges-
tion, dyspepsia, gas, heartburn and
Bourness in five minutes—that—just
that—makes Pape's Diapepsin the lar-
gest selling stomach regulator In the
world. If what you eat ferments into
stubborn lumps, you belch gas and
eructate sour, undigested food and
acid; head is dizzy and aches; breath
foul; tongue coated; your insides filled
with bile and indigestible waste, re-
member the moment "Pape's Diapep-
sin" comes in contact with the stomach
all such distress vanishes. It's truly
astonishing—almost marvelous, and
the joy is its liarmlessness.
A large fifty-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin will give you a hundred dollars'
worth of satisfaction.
It's worth its weight in gold to men
and women who can't get their stom-
achs regulated. It belongs in your
home—should always be kept handy
in case of sick, sour, upset stomach
during the day or at night. It's the
quickest, surest and most harmless
stomach doctor in the world.—Adv.

KIDNEY TROUBLE
NOT RECOGNIZED
An examining physician for one of th#
prominent Life Insurance Companies, is
■n interview of the subject, m*de the as-
tonishing statement that ne reason why
•o many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com-
mon to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem that a
medicine for the kidneys, possessing veal
henling and curative properties, would be
a blessing to thousands.
Pr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the well
known kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
is remarkably successful in sickness caused
by kidney and bladder troubles. It is mild
and gentle in its action and its healing in-
fluence is soon noticed in most cases.
There is no other remedy like Swamp-
Root. It will surely and effectively over-
come kidney, liver nnd bladder troubles—
and you can depend upon it. Go to any
drug store and get a bottle so as to start
treatment today. You will soon see e
marked improvement.
TTowever, if you wish first to test thil
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Ilinghamton, N. Y., for e
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.—Adv.
