Drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it.

This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach. liver. kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the system all the previous day's poisonous waste. gases and sour bile before putting food into the stomach.

To like young folks feel; like "leer you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, and bowels. Men and women who are usually. constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast. They are assured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly.

Walker, SPECIAL TERM OF COURT IS WANTED County Board and Court May Request Special Criminal Term of Two Weeks. MANY OLD CASES. That the county commissioners will be asked next Monday to petition term Governor of Superior Locke Craig court for, taspecial of criminal cases in this county, is the statement made today. It is believed that the commissioners and Judge W.

F. Harding, who is presiding over the present term of Superior court for the trial of civil cases, will ask the governor to call special session. It was found impossible to try more than one-half cases on the criminal docket at the term of Superior court which ended last week, there being something over 200 cases on the docket when the court convened and several of these were capital cases. Amons the important. cases continued are the Rates case, the Koon case, the Arden blackmailing cases, the Embler case, and the Allison case, all of which are of a serious nature and will doubtless be hard fought when called for trial.

Then there re many other smaller cases that were continued at the last session of court. Another Reason. One of the main reasons for asking for a special term now, it is stated, are the complications arising the Bates case. While Solicitor Swain stated when the defendants, Andy Bates, John Killian and Bessie Weaver Munsey, were arraigned, that he would only ask for a verdict of murder in the second degree, it is stated that each of the defendants will ask for separate trial. It was planned at first to try all the cases as one, but the defendants now demand separate trials, it is stated.

the special term is called, the plan is to take one week for the present term of four weeks of court for civil cases and one week from the next Madison term, making two weeks for the criminal cases here. DAMAGE CASE IN SUPERIOR COURT A. T. Dorsey Sues N. C.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels said yesterday that reports of the number of students who have failed in their studies at Annapolis had been greatly exaggerated.

A. Mitchell Palmer, Stroudsburg, Pa. "Two Views of Child Protection," Wiley H. Swift, secretary for the Carolinas, national child labor committee, Greensboro, N. C.

McKelway, tary for southern states, national child labor committee, Washington, D. C. The three days' sessions began yesterday afternoon with a large audience of Asheville people present, Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay of Columbia university, vice-chairman of the nachild labor committee, inv. Annual General Secretary Owen R.

Lovejoy in his annual report stated the committee is accused in New England of being supported in the south with the object of Injuring New England industries, while opponents of the movement in the south say that New England finances the propaganda with the idea of hurting the south's manufactures. Regardless of these charges, the secretary said the committee, supported by 9,000 people and no special interests, had gone ahead and the past year showed that every state in the southwest but one had child labor laws. The report showed that much of the committee's effort is directed into educational lines; compulsory education is the twin aim of the committee and labor in cotton mills is not as bad as some of the evils that exist in city tenements, While the organization is not attacking the farmers as exploiters of children, 72 per cent of children from ten to 15 years old are at work on the farms. Speaking of the passage of the bill through the house of representatives, the secretary showed that opposition is not sectional. The fight is conducted by those who fear that children will be thrown out of employment and those who fear that states' rights will be The answer, said the the destroyedat federal government is the government of all the people.

Asheville's Welcome. Commissioner D. Hiden Ramsey said I that the conference is especially welcome here since the cause it resents lies close to the heartg of the majority of the people. Child labor is essentially a result of the war between the states and it la no longer necessary for the south to work its children. Equality is the keystone of I democracy and it is the committee's mission to give equal opportunities to the children.

Chairman Lindsay responding said that little effort was needed to persuade the conference to come to Asheville. Miss Lillian D. Wald of the Henry Street Settlement, New York, told of conditions on the crowded East Silo and of hor experiences in giving technical training to children, with remarkable results. Discussing "Attempted Child Labor Legislation in North Carolina" Senator Zebulon Weaver declared that the people wanted and the governor had recommended a law: but a minority of the cotton mill men had successfully opposed the measure. Educators and medical men have long ago reached the conclusion that no child under 13 years should work in the mills.

Mr. Weaver said that this age WAS far too low as a limit. Senator Weaver said he did not question any man's motives in voting against the bill; but It la discouraging when the state law propored la fought by the manufacturers and at Washington the question of constitutionality is raised in answer to the cry of the children. Killed Measure, Mr. Lovejoy asked that people write their senators requesting them to support the bill; one North Carolina senator, said Mr.

Lovejoy, declared that he had killed the last measure introduced into congress. Secretary C. L. Coon on of the North Carolina Child Labor committee presided at the evening session. Speaking on Dr.

Lindsay said that there is a preparedness other than for war. It is the question of what will the government for its people in times of peace. The nation has done little for the health and effclency of its citizens, compared to other countries. The demands for safeguarding health and strength of the children are the basis of true preparation for industrial efficiency as well as for war. President W.

S. Currell of the University of South Carolina discussed the relation of child labor and compulsory education. Happiness may be expressed as a problem in arithmetie; what I have divided by what I want; the endeavor being to make the numerator and denominator as nearly the equal as possible. Education lengthens radius of achievement as well as the circumference of desire. The principle of compulsory education is accepted; the question is, shall it be local or state-wide? Child labor evils in cotton mills are exaggerated, thought the speaker.

The problem should be worked out with compulsory attendance at school as the starting point. Alabama Law. Mrs. W. L.

Murdoch, chairman of the child labor committee Alabama declared that it can no longer be said that in her state everybody rests but the children. The state has the 14- year limit but allows 64 working hours a week. Women serve on school boards and there is a juvenile court in every county. Neighborhood meetings are held to create sentiment for the execution of these laws. The state federation of women's clubs did much to improve conditions in Alabama.

Mrs. Florence Kelly, chairman of the National Consumers' league of New York, told of the efforts to have the births of children registered. Mrs. Kelley urged the audience to take more interest in the work of the children's bureau of the government. Secretary Lovejoy stated that 42 new members had joined the national committee yesterday afternoon.

SAFETY FIRST Don't kid about safety; you may be the goat. "It doesn't cost anything to be courteous" is an old saying. But it does not pay to shake hands with danger, just to show you are a good sport. While busy making yourself safe, take a little time to make your fellow workman safe, too. Look before you leap, "Safety First." Don't get hurt frst and then try safety.

Try "Safety First" and you won't get hurt. It is easier to try "Safety First" than to try to walk with crutches. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure. Let us prevent accidents and avoid the necessity of compensation for them. So long as our eyes are the windows of our souls we may all look out for ourselves.

By the use of goggles we can save risk of not being able to do this. Every man is the sole proprietor of his own shoes. But he wants to keep on the good side of safety to be able to wear a pair. The man who will not listen to safety rules, may have to listen to the sound of the ambulance gong. A bed at home is worth two in a hospital.

Employees must not trust to the care exercised by another when their own safety is involved. SUDDEN DEATH Caused by Disease of the Kidneys. The close connection which between the heart and the kidneys is well known nowadays. As soon aS kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is increased and the heart functions are attacked. When the kidneys no longer pour forth waste, uremic polsoning occurs, and the persons dies and the cause is often given as heart disease, disease of brain or lungs.

The general symptoms are rheumatio pains or neuralgia, headaches, dizzy spells, irritability, despondency, weakness and general misery.

Enthusiasm In Berlin Over Raider's Exploit The Moewe Is Placed on Hon or List With Emden and Karlsruhe- German Admiralty. in Regard to Real Iden. tity of Appam's Captor--May Have Slipped British Cordon. Berlin, Feb. 4.

News of the arrival of the Appam at Old Point, U. S. in charge of a German prize crew and of the daring raids of a German cruiser on the main lanes of sea traffie between South Africa and Europe has aroused in Berlin a new outburst of enthusiasm for the navy. The cruiser Moewe--in English the Seagull -was enrolled immediately on the list of honor with the Emden, the Prince Eitel Friendrich and the Karlerule. Her feats were characterized as most daring and illustrative of the fact that the spirit which animated the men of ther pages of German history are being written, There is no little mystery in regard Theer is no little mystery in regard to the identity of the Moewe.

Admiralty officials evidently were not surprised at the news of the Appam's capture, but for obvious reasons they decline to give information about the cruiser or from whence she set out on her raids. The cruiser may have been some large steamer which assumed the name Moewe when converted into an auxiliary warship, which slipped through the British line of sea fighters. A precedent of this nature exists in the case of the German merchantman which was converted into the auxiliary Meteor which sunk the British patrol boat Ramsey and other vessels in the North sea last summer and subsequently was sunk.
