Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liv-
er, and bowel poisons be-
fore breakfast.
To feel your best day fn and day
out. to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
tion, bilious attacks, sick headache
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must bathe on tlio Inside like
you batho outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while tho bowel pores do

well Hushed from tho stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink be l ore
breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa-
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cle/jiso,
purify and freshen tho entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Got a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
tho store, it is inexpensive and al-
most tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system of these vile poi-
sons and toxins, also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feol; 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 ami hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.—Adv.

In tho whole record of serious disasters whhh
have overtaken Uncle Sam’s ships in time of
peace there is not to ho found one instance of
lack of discipline, carelessness, or cowardice.
The stories touching the hearing of officers and
crews of American vessels overtaken by tem-

They saved large quantities of stores from the
wreck nnd with them land-T on a desert Island,
hundreds of miles distant from the nearest point
of possible eommunli atlon with the civilized
world. The shipwrecked marhers were far out of
the ordinary course of vessels and It seemed
probable that only a hare chance cou’.d save them
from ultimate starvation.
After a week’s stay on the hare reef Lieutenant
Commander Sleard asked for five volunteers to
man a small boat and undertake a perilous voy-
age of t.fiOO miles over a trackless ocean to Hono-
lulu. Nearly every man In tho ship s company
volunteered to attempt a Journey of which there
seemed but one chance in a hundred of successful
accomplishment. Tho commanding officer ohoso

and ohoso for service under him Coxswain Wil-
liam Halford, f.camen Peter Francis. James Muir
and John Andrews One of the ship's boats was
partly decked ovor with matorial front tho wreck
of tho Saginaw A small mast was stepped and
provisions and a compass were put on board.
Then the expedition started while the wrecked
crew cheered from the coral reef.
The frail bark kept on Its way day and night
for a week, officer and men taking turn and turn
about at the oars. At times tho wind was with
them and then the sail helped wonderfully At
other times, with the breeze dead ahead, they
could not hut creep along, working laboriously
at the oars.
Finally a pale overtook them, nnd for two days
and two nights they expected to he overwhelmed.
There wns no sleep for any one of tho little com-
pany. and vnllo two tolled at tho oars to keep tho
t raft's head up to the wind the others balled. At
last a respite came, and by lot one man was
selected to watch for an hour, while tho others
slept. For 24 hours they lay to. trying to recover
from the effects of the exertion of the struggle
with the elements. A large part of the provi-
sions had been almost ruined by sea water and
tho supply of fresh water ran short Then there
were days of untold suffering. The food wa? salt-
eoaked and nauseous and created a burning thirst
which the men did not dare to fully gratify be-
cause of the shortness of the water supply.
Strength was rapidly leaving them, and yet it was
necessary to toil at the oars. Lieutenant Talbot
was til almost unto death, yet he kept a cheerful
face and Inspired tho men by his example. He
worked with a will horn of spirit rather than of
HtrLUfith.
One day. after n computation. Lieutenant Tal-
bot came to the conclusion that owing to an error
in an instrument they had gono out of their
course. The information came like a deathblow
to the men. There was nothing to do. however,
but to change the vessel’s head and go on once
more. More days passed by and the exhaustion
of two of the men was so great that they could
not sit in their places nt the oars, but fell inert
to tiro bottom of tho boat. The condition of all
was desperate. Their tongues were so swollen
that they could not swallow the little food they
had. ...
Toward evening of that dreadful day land wns
sighted. Lieutenant Talbot and Coxswain Hal-
ford managed to make some headway with the
oars, and a favoring breeze helped. At daylight
the next morning the shore lay before them but
a mile distant, s heavy line of hreakers interven-
ing Beyond the white wall of surf they saw me"

Colds Make Backs Ache
» WORE aching backs, more kidney troubles come In March, than in
lVl any other month. Slushy sidewalks, dampness, raw winds and
sudden changes cause chills and colds. And chills or colds tend to
hurt the kidneys. It is good sense to use a kidney remedy when recov-
ering from a cold and at any time when suffering from a lame back,
sharp pains when stooping or lifting, dizzy spells, irregular or annoy-
ing kidney action, and a run-down, nervous state. ,,

vessel was the only one which went through th
awful hurricane unscathed. It owed Its su e y
not to superior seamanship, but to the fact t ia
Its powerful engines enabled It to put to sea an

On Friday. March 15. 1889, at one o’clock In the
afternoon, indications of b d weather were ap-
parent on the horrizon. The coming d'sturbance
was first noticed by the American commanders,
who at once made preparations to meet it. Tho
lower yards were left down, the topmasts housed,
fires lighted and steam was raised. The Trenton,
flagship, held the outer berth, while the Nipsic
held tho inner. At three o'clock it was blowing a
gale. An hour later the port how cable of the
Trenton parted. Tho Vandalia tried Its best to
steam out in the face of the gale, but thero was
not powor enough in Its engines to keep the ves-
sol's head in the teeth of the blast and the ship
went crashing on a reef.
AH night long the storm Increased In violence.
The flagship at daylight lost Its wheel, and,
though relieving tackle nnd a spare tiller wore
instantly attached, it wns found that the rudder
was broken, and they were useless. The Treu-
ton was leaking badly, and. though bedding wns

In the afternoon tiro wind hauled a bit. and the
flagship parted Its two chains and drifted toward
the eastern reef Magnificent seamanship on tho
part of Captain Farquhar and his navigating offi-
cers kept the vessel from striking tho reef. The
attempt was made to Ret Btorm sails, but it was
ineffectual. Then a last hazardous experiment
was tried. The men wore ordered to the yards,
there to form a living sail, as they stood with
their bodies in a compact mass side by side nnd
with arms encircled. To attempt to mount aloft
in that hurricane seemed certain death. X earing

Finally the Trenton reached the vinlcltv of the
Vandalia. which was on the reef, with great seas
breaking over it every moment and rapidly going
to pieces. Captain Schoonmaker of the Vandalia.
with many of his men and officers, had been
swept overboard and drowned long before. The
commander had been on the bridge through the
whole of the Ptorm. and, weakened flnnlly by the
constant pounding of the waves, ho was unable to
stand the strain. His last word was one o. en-
couragement and hope to his men. and then with
four others, he was carried to his death. Of the
officers and crew of the Vandalia nt the time the
Trenton came alongside 39 were dead. he rest
were in the rigging expecting every moment that
the masts would go by the board and that they
would meet the fate of their comrades.
