This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well known physician. i To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen tary tract, before putting more food iuto the stomach. Oct a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys tem of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Didn't Take A Chance.

The Peruna Company, Columbus, Obie if EYE OF E Periscope Described as Really Simple Instrument. Gives Clear Images, but Has Some De fects Which Scientists Are En deavoring to Rectify Tires the Observer Quickly. The periscope, the "eye" of the submarine, is described as a simple in strument whose construction has proved a complicated problem for op ticians. "In its simple form," an op tician says, "it is a vertical steel tube about 20 feet long, with a reflecting prism at the top and the lenses of a telescope at the bottom. It is, in fact, a simple telescope whose line of light 'turns a corner' from hori zontal to vertical as it passes through the prism. This Instrument takes in 45 degrees of the horizon, or one eighth of the total field, at one view. By turning the tube on its axis, the reBt comes Into sight successively. "This periscope gives very clear images, but as It can be used with only one eye at a time it does not allow of distinguishing the different' planes of vision very well, and tires the, observer's eye rather quickly. Binocular periscopes have been at tempted, but luminosity Is lost by gaining the advantage of stereo scopic vision. "The so-called combination perl scope allows of vision with both eyes, though it is not stereoscopic. A real image is thrown on a ground-glass screen, much like that of a photo graph camera; it may be looked at with the two eyes, but no impres sion of depth and space is given. The screen avoids excessive fatigue, and It can be used only in bright light. The size of the image is often insuf ficient to bring out detail. To obtain greater enlargement without dimin ishing clearness too .much, magnify Ing lenses are sometimes added. "The preceding periscopes do not enable a commander to take a rapid survey of the horizon; it takes five to ten seconds to make a complete circle. Again, the observer must himself move around with the eye-piece. If the image is to remain upright with out moving the eyepiece it is neces sary to use a compensatory prism whose movement makes up for that of the eyepiece. "This is the principle of the pano ramic periscope whose tube Is fixed An Eye Placed at the Observing End of a Submarine's Periscope Sees a Rlng-Shaped Image of the Horizon With Direct Image of One Part In the Center. and bears at its summit a glass bulb containing a reflecting prism mount ed on a base that may be turned with a handle. There Is a compensating prism that turns at half the speed and keeps the image straight "To observe successively all points of the horizon it suffices to turn the crank, without Its being necessary for either observer or eyepiece to change place. "Nevertheless, however rapid the operation, it does not enable the ob server to see the whole horizon at once. This is realized in the perl scope with ring-shaped eyepiece. At the top of the tube is a ring-shaped lens which refracts toward the base of the tube rays that reach it from all sides. A panoramic image is thus obtained that includes all surround ing objects, although they appear smaller and more distant than with the naked eye. The observer also sees, in the center of the panoramic Image, .a portion of the field on a larger scale." General Merritt's Career, General Wesley Merrltt was born in New YOrk city In 1836 and died in 1910. He was graduated from West Point in 1860 and in 1861 assigned to a cavalry regiment. In 1862 he acted as aid to General Cooke. In 1863 he par ticipated in Stoneman's famous raid toward Richmond. In the battle of Gettysburg and in the Richmond cam paign of April-August, 1864, he com manded a reserve cavalry brigade, and in the Shenandoah valley campaign and the final Richmond campaign he commanded a cavalry division. By the end of the war he had been made major general of volunteers and brevet major general In the regular army. In 1876 he served In the Indian campaigns In Wyoming and Dakota. From 1882 to 1887 he was superintend ent of the United States Military acad emy, in 1887 be was made brigadier general, in 1895 major general. In 1897-98 be commanded the department of the East of the United States army, and he was in command of the United States forces In the Philippines In 1898.

Hot lunches at noon In remote country schools Is an educational innovation that has been introduced into western Lane county. In western Lane much of the Bchool year is rainy, and young sters, traveling long distances in all sorts of weather, often wear wet clothes a large part of the day. School boards were accordingly ask ed to provide cooking utensils, which in many cases consist of only a large kettle, a big spoon, a knife and a few other bare 'necessities. The children bring the articles to be cooked. Some bring potatoes, some bring vegetables, some bring meat, milk and other ar ticles at different times. Each child has his own bowl and the lunch con sists usually of hot soup. Each day two pupils are appointed hosts for the following day. After school at a meeting the kind of soup desired for the following day is de termined, and on the following day the two hosts are allowed time from their school work to prepare and cook the soup on the big stove . in the corner of the school room. Formerly the children consumed their cold lunch in perhaps ten min utes; now lunch occupies about a half hour and each pupil eats at his own desk. Miss Jennie Bossen is school supervisor in the district in which this innovation has been made.

Get the genuine v N T FIERCE FIRE How German Incendiary Bombs Are Constructed. Intended to Generate Sudden and In tense Heat at the Point Where They Are Dropped Noxious Gas Also Liberated. The Incendiary bombs which have been dropped from Zeppelins upon parts of France and England are among the most Ingenious and perfect ly devised destructive contrivances that the war has brought out. In the scores that have been dropped from Germany's gigantic airships only one so far has failed to explode and this has been seized upon eagerly by the English war officials for examina tion. It differs from an ordinary explo sive bomb inasmuch as it is Intended not to scatter fragments over a wide area, but to produce sudden and In tense heat at a given point, thus start ing a fierce conflagration. The bomb, as a rule, 1b c. .'.cal, of ten-Inch diameter at the base, corded MCLTEOWHITt PHOSPHORUS round, and has a metal handle at the apex. The base is a flat cup, on to which a pierced metal funnel is fitted, having the Ignition device and handle fitted at the top. The funnel is gener ally filled with thermit, which upon ignition generates Intense heat, and by the time of the concussion has taken the form of molten metal of the ex traordinarily high temperature of over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit' The molten metal is spread by the concussion. Outside the funnel is a padding of a highly-inflammable or re sinous material bound on with an in' flammable form of rope. The resinous material creates a pungent smoke, There is generally some melted white phosphorus in the bottom of the cup, which develops nauseous fumes. In some cases celluloid chipplngs are added, and occasionally a small quan tity of petrol. Savings Banked in Teapots. A considerable amount of gold Is be ing hoarded by people who bank their incomes and business takings and who are anxious to be ready to meet emer gency demands; but it is probable that a much larger quantity is stored up in rural parishes throughout the country. The money, which is added to from time to time, lies unproductive in the house, concealed In wooden boxes un der the bed, teapots, vases, or in tin boxes. It was stated recently in a lo cal paper in Devonshire that persons who went about the country districts knew instances of from $500 to $4,000 being kept in bedrooms In lonely farm houses, the owners of these dead re serves being In no way tempted by 6 per cent -bonds. It has, in fact, been the custom in many families for the family fortune, such as It Is, to be handed to the heirs in cash. In certain rustic minds there seems to be not only a distrust of the bank and post office, but an Ineradicable ob jection to outside persons knowing the state of their finances. It is not yet realized that a practice which may be comparatively innocuous in time of peace is positively harmful in time of war. London Times. Dance to Drive Fog Away. Tbe canyons and mountains back of Incevllle, near Santa Monica, Cal., re sounded at night with the beat of tom-toms and the hillsides were light ed by the bonfires of 100 Indians, who spent the night praying In primitive fashion to drive away the fog and rain. The chief of the tribe had been In formed that if the fogs lasted much longer, preventing the making of pic tures for the movies, the Indians would have to be sent back to their reservation in South Dakota. A council was called and it was de cided to hold a "sunshine" or "weath er" dance. W. E. Brooks, in charge of the Indians, was so, notified and Mr. Ince contributed an ox to be roasted as part of the ceremony. Two medicine men, Lone Bear, reput ed to be more than one hundred years old, and Good Voice Crow were In charge of the ceremonies, in which all the Indians took part. Bonfires were lighted and the tomtoms were pound ed on the top of a mountain back of the motion picture camp. As the ox roasted the dance continued. New York Sun. Mistakes 8oldler for "Daddy."
