Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, wor ried; koine days headachy, dull and un strung; some days really incapacitated by illness. If we till would practice inside bath ing, what n gratifying change would tnke place. Instead of thousands of half sick, anaemic looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The rea son is that the human system docs not rid itself each day of all the waste which it nccuniiilntes under our pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system 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 fire will burn bright and hot, so wo must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's ac cumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning before brenkiast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing out of. the stom ach, liver, Kidneys and bowels the in digestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stom ach. Millions of people who had their turn of constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless night have become real cranks about he morning inside bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is suf ficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

The senate reporter on the Sulem Journal, who is doing the best daily stuff in the state on the legislature, avers that he has no hostile intent to wards Mr. Lafferty's beaver bill, but is perfectly willing to have the pesky varmints put on the free list and thus completely exterminated as a home in dustry. He is willing, he says, to do anything to help regulate the pest. He would stand for a law compelling them to take out a steam shoveler's license, as well aa carry a card in the Wood Choppers' union. He would regulate their work hours and compel them to wear a bell, a honk-honk, a fog horn, head and tail lights, a calf weaner and a dog muzzle- He would hedge them about with cerfew ordinances and steel traps and by law confine their work entirely to logged off lands thereby An extra good program is promised tt. f X in?. for the meeting of the Parent -Teachers' i w"g w t te place ot Coolie association to be held at the school ?!

Fortunately Mr. j tion thus The Corvallis Times, if we are not mistaken, seems to think that the senate reporter for the Capital Journal has no sympathy for the folks over in Benton county in the beaver-infested region just because he spoke of Lafferty's bill aneut the pestiferous busy bodies in a light and airy vein. Such is not the case. It was because he did sympathize with the beaver victims that he men tioned the matter at all. "There is the nature of his conference or whether any definite action had yet been tak' 1 en in the situation. He said, however, that lie probably j would hold his usual 3:110 p. m. confer ence with newspapermen and, inasmuc h as other officials had promised, if pos-: sible, to give some statement, it w.is felt Lansing might use this session to' make some announcement. Passports Suspended The state department today suspend ed issuance of American passports to travelers abroad. Xo explanation was given and the length of the suspension was not announced. President Confers With House The president conferred today with his personal adviser. Colonel E. M. House, who hastened here secretly over night. It was expected the lid would be kept on -congressional discussion for the mo ment if possible and that as prompt ly as possible the president would con sult Chairman Stone of the senate for eign committee and others high in his counsels, including perhaps his full cab inet. . , The president studied the German war note alone all last evening, and Colonel House was "hooked as his first caller today. With him he was to can vass the whole situation. Germany's historic move is regarded as an act of a people, willing to risk the antagonism of the whole world, in the final effort to win by applying the starvation means that- in different form has been applied to her. Officials see in it a desperation bred of economic al suffering. This government's peace suggestions and the fear of a break with Germany have been interwoven. The allied reply to peace overtures turned the scales. While regarded here as leavin? the peace door open, events did not develop rapidly enough to ward off the crisis, officials' say. The clamor of a suffering people is regarded as having overcome the more moderate trend of the llollweg regime, while the forceful influence of Von Hindenbmg determined the new sea war, Teutons here declared. Germany's new submarine policy was decided up, according to German dip lomats, immediately after the entente sent its unfavorable reply to President Wilson's peace note. Lansing Goes to Wbite House At noon today Secretary Laiisii, took to the W hite House what was un derstood to be a declaration of this government's course of action in the crisis with Germany.
