Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day

Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. Life Is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet bow very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. , Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can. instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day’s Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you ‘are’ enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. ' The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any store that handles drugs which yIU cost very little, but is sufficient to make, anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation. —Adv.

NEW TYPE OF OIL-BURNING LOCOMOTIVE

In This. Oil-Burning Locomotive, Which Is Designed Particularly for Construction Work, a Full Head of Steam Can Be Raised in 15 Minutes.

An oil-burning locomotive of a new type, designed particularly for construction work, is equipped with a boiler in which, it is claimed, a full head of steam can be raised in 15 minutes. The principal feature about the boiler is the use of a large number of half-inch copper flues, each about 16 Inches long. These locomotives are made in sizes ranging from 2 tons

DISORGANIZED BY WAR

EUROPEAN RAILROAD SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN HIT HARD. Many Trains That £lad Become Famous the World Over Have Had to Be Discontinued in the Belligerent Lands. “While the war has put all Europe out of order, no better illustration of its disorganization could be chosen than that of its chaotic railway geography, presenting an aspect of disrupted schedules, broken lines, and reorganized routings on such a scale as to give some idea of the confusion in the belligerent continent,” begins a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. “Trains de luxe afehblonger streaking hosts or Americans over famous railway routes rich In memories for the travelers of every country, taking them.to historic grounds, to curative springs, to mountain grandeur, to centers of international smartness, to places for fashionable winter sport, and to Mediterranean resorts for springtime and sun in winter.' The trains de luxe of before the war are no longer running; for hostile frontiers cross their network in all directions.

“Of the 12 most famous European express trains, only four are still able to run. The four lines still open are the Ostend-Vienna express; the Ber-lin-Karlsbad-Marienbad express, a summer train; the South express, Paris - Bordeaux - Irun-Madrid-Lisbon; and the Siberian express, Moscow-Krasnojarsk-Irkutsk-Vladivostok. Service was halted* indefinitely for the Nord express, with its compartments coming from Paris, Ostend and Brussels, which left Berlin for Petrograd and Moscow, its sections splitting up for their respective destinations in Russia at Warsaw. The Nord express was a brilliant European link in the far-spanning trans-Siberian railway, and, in peace times, it pulled out of Berlin daily.

"Further, the popular Berlin-Tirol-Rome-Naples and Egyptian -express, whose many sections were always filled with travelers, beginning about this time of the year, has ceased to operate. Its conductors and engineers, aristocrats among European railroad men, with considerable standing in the bureaucracies of Germany, Austria, France and Italy, are now in all likelihood driving endless lines of freight cars through war-scarred country,

"The Orient express was the first express in all Europe before the war, a train whoso French, German and Austrian sections were not surpassed by any other of the trains de luxe. It lias now lost much of its international character; has changed its direction; and, in place of., the wealthy and the renowned, it has taken to carrying soldiers and munitions. "Before the outbreak of the war, the Orient express ran over a line east and west; now it runs northwest and southeast. It was made up at Paris, and its route was Paris-Strass-burg - Munich - Vienna - Budapest-Bel-grade-Sofia-Constantinople, while one of its sections went to Bucharest. The Orient express, probably, ran through more important capitals, eight of them, and bore a more mternational character than any other train In the world; The stations of this famous train were marked by the national cities of peoples, and its way halted at either end in earth’s two foremost historic centers. Paris-Karlsbad express has stopped. The Peninsula express, a speedy train through France, where It rivals the Paris-Marseilles and the Calais-Basel expresses, still has a Clear way on that stretch wherein it is known as thfe Peninsula express, between Calais and Brindisi. Its Dutch and German sections coming from Rotterdam and Berlin, however, are no longer riding behind it. The Pe-trograd-Vienna-Nice .express and the Christiania-Paris express, have, also; war for an indefinite time. Practically all of the Black Diamond, Empire State and Twentieth Century expresses of Europe are war-stained, and such timetables as remain In force are,, for civilians, uncertain things, subject solely to military advantage.” ' ;

TO ENJOY REMAINING YEARS

Prominent Railroad Official Retires Front High Position to Lead a Life of Leisure. Harry Gower, for 15 years general traffic manager of the Rock Island Railroad system, has voluntarily relinquished his $12,000 a year position that he may devote all his time to painting dabbling in horticulture, fishing and playing golf. Mr. Gower is sixty-one years old and has been connected with the RockJslamL. road 38 yeqrs. With Mrs. Gower—the couple have no children —he will make his home on a small tract of land near Palm Beach, Fla., says the Business and Transportation World. Enjoying the distinction of being the first railroad officer in Chicago to voluntarily retire with a pension available, Mr. Gower will be further distinguished. by dropping., all .business and devoting his time to cherished life-time ambitions in the way of painting, and other avocations. Here are some of Mr. Gower’s ideas of living: “To me life is worth living, and to do this or get all there is out of it one must not lose his identity. I have been in the railroad business practically all my life, yet I have tried ,o retain some individuality. I have not allowed the railroad to master me. “I believe some people get passe by too much working. I have never worked Sundays, except once in my life, whten I helped defend the company’s property during the ‘Debs strike of 1894. “I am not rich, but we do not need much, as we will pursue the simple life. “Many people do not enjoy play, because they make work of it. I never make a business of my pleasures. I like to paint water colors from sketches of rambles through the country. “A friend once asked me why I did not take painting lessons. I told him that if I took lessons that I would begin to study technique, and the minute I did that I would make work of my painting and the minute it became work it would cease to be pleasure.” Mr. Gower was born in England and inherits the .British idea of retiring from business early in life and devoting oneself to his avocation. In England many of those who retire are chosen to honorary civil offices without pay. - ,

Hats Off to Trainmen.

Every time I travel anywhere I am moved to take off my hat to the rail- ' way employee. There is in this country no other body of men that equals those employed by the railways in the matters of efficiency, politeness and courtesy. Ask a railroad man what you wish to know and he will tell you. He will do it in a manner to convey the impression that you did him a favor by asking it. And what he tells you will be so. There will be no guesswork, no speculation about it. I may, occasionally, find fault with a careless or parsimonious railway management. But I find no fault with the men who operate the trains. —Jay Hguse in Topeka Capital.

Used Imported Locomotive.

The Baltimore & Ohio was the pioneer American railroad construction solely with reference to the immediate use of steam traction. At first horses preceded locomotives on the Baltimore & Ohio, the Philadelphia & Columbia, and the Mohawk & Hudson, but the first locomotive actually run upon an American railroad was the Stourbridge LionFimported from England in 1829 to be used near Honesdale, Pa., but the engine proved too heavy for the trestles, and the service was abandoned.

Make Lumber Fireproof.

One of the largest English railways is building a fireproofing plant In which to treat all of the lumber used in cars which will be constructed in future.

BACK TO OTHER DAYS

MODISTES WOULD REVIVE EARLY VICTORIAN IDEAS Possibility That the Suggestion Will Not Be Received With Grqat Enthusiasm, for Good ReasonChignon More Popular. In the near future we shall nave to see to It that our shoulders are in perfect condition, writes Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent of the Boston Globe, White, plump and slightly sloping! Yes, it is true that some of the most important dressmakers in Paris are turning their eyes, longingly, to the early-Victorian evening corsage. Even at the present moment Beer is making a specialty of this outline and our smart women seem to find it attractive. It cannot be denied that the earlyVictorian evening corsage makes considerable demands on one’s figure. We have become athletic since those days. Our girls have gone in for outdoor sports of all kinds. The “clinging-vlne woman” has gone out of fashion. And to carry off an early-Victorian evening dress with real success one must be, or seem, slightly clinging! It seems to breathe feminism—as feminism was understood in the middle of the last century. The sloping shoulders of those days seemed made to carry shawls with exquisite grace. They seemed made to carry the burdens of fashion, and those only. Since then we women have changed —in spirit and in body. We have become vigorous and emancipated. We certainly have lost the art of “carrying” a shawl. What then are we going to do with the decollete corsages which leave the whole of shoulders bare at every poinF? We shall see. All that concerns me at the presentmoment is the unfolding of the latest fashion schemes of famous Parisian dress artists. The Beer evening corsages of the period just suggested are quite charm-

ing. They recall the wonderful costumes worn by the Empress Eugenie tn the days when Winterhalter painted his famous portraits of “the most beautiful women in Europe." There is no sign of a shoulder strap, even one composed of diamonds; the shoulders are quite bare and the corsage falls off in a way which would strike terror into the heart of any ordinary individual who understand the little ways of great dressmakers. It must be recorded that though

PRETTY STYLES IN LINGERIE

Flounces and Frills In Profusion on Petticoats —Silk Underwear Given Decided Preference. While radical changes In lingerie do not occur as frequently as in the outer garments of one’s apparel, a change in fashion can be tracedjn the undergarments to some extent. For instance, petticoats are abloom with flounces and frills where but a short time ago they did not even exist. There are lovely new petticoats, all calling for admiration. Picture a skirt of soft black taffeta with a. wide ruffle, of black chantilly lace. Under this is an accordion-plaited flounce of flesh pink chiffon to show off the beautiful pattern of' the lace. Another petticoat for evening wear is entirely of white net with quillings of the same edging square tabs. Inserts of flowered chiffon in diamond shape are edged with ruffles of the net. —There is a decided preference for silk in underwear. Lovely hand embroidery is seen on chemises, silk vests and union suits even of fleshcolored crepe de chine or the pussywillow taffeta. The silk underwear, while apparently a luxury, justifies the Initial expense by its long life and beautiful laundering. .Among the night robes there are beautiful models of taffeta, crepe de chine and a soft washable eatin FagotIng, hemstitching, picotlng and some embroidery trim these gowns. There Is a marked absence of lace and frills, which makes even a plain silk gown not such an expense after all.». Many gowns are sleeveless, showing a "handkerchief" top caught on the shoulders

these corsages seem very decollete they are not, in reality, unduly so. Little slip bodies made of white or fleshpink pongee silk are worn underneath and these bodices are so well boned that they remain in position without shoulder straps. The profile head shown in the sketch displays the much-discussed chignon at the back of the head. It also shows one of the new tortoise-shell combs, which are placed very low down on the head and which jut out abruptly. The chignon is becoming more and more popular. Some smart women wear it low down on the neck, after the ..manner of the beauties of 18601866. Others prefer the chignon which gives a Grecian outline to the head. The hair is very slightly waved, or not waved at all; it is drawn softly back from the face, one or two loose curls being left near the ears.

DICTATES OF FASHION

Crystal bead trimming is much in vogue. Blanket sports coats have large plaids and fringe. Bright colored trimmings appear on white voile waists. The high crowned hat implies the new close hairdressing. Deep Chinese blue is a favorite shade for evening gowns. Tub sjlk waists with stripes in strong color are the latest. Sometimes entire trains are formed of ribbon sewed together. ~ The newest hats for every day wear are turned up sailor shapes. Elaborate sport coats of colored velvet have white fur borders. Colored stitching forms the only decoration on some tailored suits.

Painted Furniture Is New.

It is remarkable what artistic talent has been awakened by the craze for hand-painted furniture. Girls, rich and poor, are painting their own pieces of furniture, and varnishing the surface to make the pictures lasting. This new furniture is very pretty; landscapes, flowers, birds, butterflies, are painted on a white or black background and varnished, and sometimes small medallions of highly-finished work are set on a plain ground. One charming room had a white and gray wall, and the mouldings and furniture were painted lavender.

Frenchwoman’s Clothes. An American woman who has lived some years in France and is a keen observer of the Frenchwoman and her ways, writes, apropos of war-time economy. -

“In France you will never stop Frenchwomen buying one new frock a season, and certainly no preaching of anything or anybody will make her clothe herself unbecomingly. There is not a woman to be seen about the streets of Paris at the present moment who has not had a new forck last anautumn, but she has paid for it according to her means, in all probability. Even as Frenchwomen have never spent so recklessly on clothes as Americans, neither will they become so rabidly economical in that direction. At the present moment they are buying neat little hats in black velvet, neat little cloth dresses or tailor-mades. They will pay less in both than in ordinary years perhaps, but not necesarily, and they will wear them longer.’’ * '.Y . ■■■■ ■ iisr-i-F

MORE THAN SHE COULD STAND

“Scan’lous" Remark Made by Young Colored Husband Was Responsible for His Black Eye.

Bob Gibbs, a good-natured and industrious young negro, had brought about the arrest of his new wife. In the testimony it was shown that the girl had spent all she could lay her hands on for dress and self-ornamenta-tion. Her home and husband had suffered in consequence. An altercation had taken place, and the wife had blacked her better half’s already dusky eye. The judge ordered Matty Gibbs to stand up. “Do you think more of your clothea than of your husband?’’ the court demanded sternly. “Lawdy, jedge,” Matty gasped. “I don’t need no time ter think dat over. I done cotched him wid clothes, an' Tow dat’s how I gotter keep him.

Not Up on Poultry.

On board of one of his majesty s ships two seamen were hotly engaged in an argument as to the class of animal a hog belonged, one of them asserting it was a sheep and the other equally certain it was a pig. Not being able to agree, one of them turned to an old salt, who was standing close by, saying: “Here, bill, you’ve knocked about a bit. What is a hog? Is it a pig or a sheep?” Whereupon Bill, after due consideration, replied: “Well, to tell the truth, chummy, 1 don’t know much about poultry.'’ — London Tit-Bits.

Fault of the Clerk.

The court clerk was examining an applicant for citizenship papers. Unfortunately, the clerk didn't ask his questions in the order in which the man from across the seas had been taught the answers. “Do you speak English?” asked the clerk. “Sure Mike," was the answer. “How long have you been in this country?” “Michigan.” “How tall are you?” “Forty years.” The clerk sighed. “I think you d better get an interpreter,” he said.

Georgia felt he was safe. They were standing at the front gate. “Won’t you come into the parlor and sit a little while, Georgie, dear?” “No-o.
