Not a Bite of Breakfast Until You Drink Water Says glass of hot wafer and phosphate prevent Illness nnd keeps us fit. Just ns coal, when it burns, leave behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken clay aftej day leaves In the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible mai terial, which if not completly olimlna, ted from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of left-over waste, toxins and ptomaln-lihe poisons are formed and sucked into the blcod.

Men and women who can't, got feel-Ingr right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of-real hot water 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 allmen-tary canal clean, pure and fresh. 1 hose who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff-cess, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little, but is sufficient 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 poop 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, Lideys aad bow ls. Pacific const schools, which includes colleges in California, Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. That body has re cenily adopted this resolution: "Resolved, That the Pacific Coast conference, believing as It does that intercollegiate athletics should rest upon the broad basis of intramural sports or athletics for every student, heartily favors any system of intra mural athletics which will Insure thai every student In the institution repre-sentod in this conference will participate regularly in some form of healthful Rport." This will mean better health for ev ery student, and in the long run it will inevitably raise the quality of intercollegiate athletics above the old level of the specialised teams. KNOWING OUR NEIGHBORS To the average citizen of the United States, South America is almost as little known as was all the region south of the equator to the rest of the world in the days when Columbus sailed west instead of south because lie believed that the sea in the latter direction ultimately became boiling hot. We know that to the south of us lies a continent joined to ua by the Monroe Doctrine and a "narrow neck of land called the Isthmus of Panama." But there our knowledge ceases, or becomes a hazy vision of malarial swamps, cloud-capped mountains and poor railroad and sewer facilities.

We have spent much time in the study of European and Asiatic conditions and our relations to them, and much money in travel in thoae continents. Yel this neighbor so near to us remains a mystery, though within her bounds is scenery unsurpassed for beauty and variety, and she is possessed of a wonderfully romantic his tory. Moreover, her people, too commonly lumped ns ignorant and half-civilized, have given to the world authors, mu sicians, jurists, orators and physicians of high rank. The recent extension of news service between the United States and South America should go far toward remedying this condition of ignorance and should be of mutual benefit. There is already a comfortable, friendship, but great possibilitiea lie in increased acquaintance.

We shall come to see that South America Is no backward little sister toward whom we exercise a sort of half-shamed tolerance, but a hitherto neglected member of the family, who awaits only interest and fostering care to become the pride of the clan. LESS GOLD The gold output has been falling off. A committee appointed Ijy Secretary Lane to investigate the situation re ports that the chief reason for I he de c-lease is the increased cost of prottac tion. It cost last year about 70 cents to produce a dollar's worth of gold, whereas it cost only 57 cents the year before. Naturally this increase less ens the ardor of the gold producers although in almost any oilier industry 30 per cent profit would be considered a pretty liberal reward.

The. committee further declares that the future of gold mining is prohle inulical, that the gold output of the world seems at last to have passed its zenith and to be destined to a certain decline. In order to counteract this tendency the committee recommends the removal of the government's excess profits tax on gold mines. Without passing on the merits of this particular remedy, it may be said that a diminution in the world's gold production will not work any great hardship on mankind in general. It is tho tremendous production of gold that is primarily responsible for the steady, troublesome rise in prices dur ing the last two decades.

Regardless of (he war and other tern porary factors, as long as the gold sup ply increases ho disproportionately as it has been doing, and remains the solo standard of values, the prices of other commodities are. bound to keep on rising, with conlinual unsetUeinent of values and continual need of read justments. As long as we have no better stan dard of value, it would he a blessing if the output were curtailed enough to keep the visible gold supply stationary for a while.

is found, however, that many applications are marie to the various branches of the board by men from the service who hi.ve suffered no injury or permanent disability, but who nevertheless are eager for any opportunity for further education. Manifestly the board, as constituted, has all it. can do in the vocational training of those more unfortunate of our country's servants who never again will be well and sound. The New York branch alone has placed in jobs or in vocational schools 3,100 such men since the middle of September, when the bureau was started. Of course the instruction of the disabled should be the nation's first con cern, but the longing of these others who every day, in great numbers, make application for help must not be dis regarded.

Every man should find with in his grasp the facilities for learning. If safely for the world depends upon feeding the starving millions in Eu rope, safety for America depends no less upon her gratification of the hunger of thousands for education an appetite whetted by the exercise of minds which before the war lay in sluggish inactivity, but now are keen with the desire to know. After the fundamentals which must constitute all primary education, the vocational or trade school probably will best, serve the needs of the great mass whose lives must be devoted to earning a living. If the need is to bo met as broadly as it deserves, there must be local and federal co-oporatiqn in the revision and extension of educational systems. ATHLETICS FOR ALL In the English universities and boys' schools the student who shuns outdoor sports is scorned.

Everybody goes in tor something whether it be rowing or football or cricket. It is as important for any student to succeed in sports as iu schohtship. The English custom of universal participation in athletics makes the old American system show up unfavorably. In our schools and colleges it has been the custom to develop a select few athletes who represented the school in intercollegiate contests while everybody else escaped with little or no athletic training whatsoever. The faults of that system have come in for a good deal of criticism in the past few years.

Individual Hcliools have endeavored to promote general athletics within their own groups. They have paid more attention to the youth who hs neglected formerly and have tried to get him into healthful and helpful gi.mes. As the army demobilization returns many young men from both the athletic and the non-athletic groups to the college, the development of what collegians call "intramural" athletics will be greatly accoleuit'-d.

I am going "Now, Oececa, the party leaves here Thurs-doy noon; won't you please remain with us? If you will -stay I'll tell you a scheme that has entered my mind," said Mrs. Kanet.

Oececa skipped swiftly about the kitchenette, helping Mrs. Kanet to get lunch. "Isn't he great?" "Some sail." At one o'clock Saturday noon lit and Mrs.

Kanet with Oececa as their maid left for "Idyl Wyld." That night as Oceca sat on the piazza of "Iydl Wyld" she was thinking: "He comes tomorrow. Mrs. Kanet gives a party in his honor on Monday. I'll be right In my glory if I can meet him." Bright and early Sunday morning a grand limousine drove Into the yard at "The Herald." Mr. and Mrs.

Herald and their son, Sergeant Verther Herald, stepped from the car. That evening Sirs. Kanet said to Oececa, "If you Will prepare lunch, I'll take this invitation to the Herald family." All day Monday Mrs. Kunet and Oececa were busy getting things In readiness for the party that evening, The reception room was decorated In patriotic colors. At 7 .30 o'clock Ser geant Herald "rang the bell at "Idyl Wyld." Mrs.

Kanet, accompanied by Oececa, greeted Sergeant Herald at the door. "Good evening," said the lad. "Sergeant Herald Miss Kvans." "Glad to know you, Miss Evans." "Happy to know you, Sergennt Herald. Aren't your parents coming?" "Yes, they will be here shortly." Mr. and Mrs.

At eight o'clock the Colony band be gan to "Keep the Home Fires Burn lng." The receiving line passed to the rear of the room, Sergeant Herald gently holding the arm of Miss Evans. "Don't I wish that the girls might see their 'million-dollar boy "said Oececa, Dancing was enjoyed until 10:30, when refreshments were served.

The next hour was spent in pleasant con' versatlon. "How long have you worn the uniform?" asked Oeeeca "Two years next October; and it's a great garment, too," was the reply. "How much longer is your furlough?" "Three days." "Today is the 10th and you go on the 13th?" Tes, at 8 p. "The 12th Is my birthday," Oececa said, smiling. "Wouldn't you like to go for a row on the lake that day?" "Indeed, I could not refuse, The next dny Sergeant Herald took a trip to the city on an errand un known to a person except himself.

W'hen he returned he had a small box in his possession. The following day was Oececa's birthday. Sergeant Herald and Oececa went to the lake. Never had Oececa enjoyed herself as she did that after noon. Not a sound invaded the still- Dess, save for the dipping of the oars, Sergeant Herald suddenly spoke: "I dreamed last night that I could sacrifice all for you.

Oh, if dreams could only come true." "Why can't dreams come true?" said Oececa. "They might If you would only consent 1" Remain' lng silent a minute, while the blushing of those fair cheeks seemed to speak for her, she then spoke: "Silence gives consent." Those words were scarcely uttered when Sergeant Herald took her left hand in his, and from a small box which he held in his right hand he took a ruby ring. "This is your birthday. I place this ring upon your finger. My birthday is the 12th of October, and when that day comes I'll place upon this finger the little circle of gold which will unite us forever." On the eve of October 12, In the little chapel across from "Idyl Wyld," Sergeant Herald claimed Oececa as his bride.

While wedding bells were pealing, Sergeant Herald and his bride stepped into that grand limousine and motored to "Restabit" to spend their wedding sojourn. As they walked up the steps of the piazza, she thought of the day when she said to Mrs. Kanet: "I have no desire to meet him now, I aw going home." "Aud today I ascend these steps with him as Mrs. Herald." FOR RENT FOR RENT One 12 room bungalow, completely furnished; flOO for sea son. J.
