i SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER 1
3j Everyone should drink hot water [J
with phosphate In it,
j|| before breakfast.
s f
To feel as fine as the proverbial
liddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
Jf you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with a bad taste,
furred tongue, nasty breath or stom
ach becomes rancid, it's your liver.
Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery
eyes, all denote liver uncleanliness.
Your liver is the most important, also
the most abused and neglected organ
of the body. Few know its function
or how to release ilie danimed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Host folks re
-ort to violent calomel, which is a dan
rrous, salivating chemical which can
only be used occasionally because it
iecuuiulates in I lie tissues, also attacks
i he bones.
Kvery man and woman, sick or well,
•ihould drink each morning before
breakfast, a glass of liot water with a.
teaspoon In I of limestone phosphate in
it, to wash from the liver and bowels
(he previous day's indigestible ma
terial. the poisons, sour bile and tox
ins: thus cleansing, sweetening and
freshening the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you a quarter
pound, which is sufficient for a demon
stration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feel
ing tit day in and day out.—Adv.

MUM DAY EVENING,
WHEW! BUT MARCH
1916 WAS CHILLY
Only Twice Before in Fourteen!
Years Was Record
Equaled
101-2 INCHES OF SNOW
Mercury Got Down to 6 Degrees
Once; Never Above Sixty-
Eight
March. 191 6, will go down in weather |
history as the coldest month of the
lion-and-the-lamb in ten years, ac- !
cording to the monthly meteorological
summary just issued by the Weather
Bureau of the Federal Department of I
Agriculture. On only two other months j
in the departmental records has this |
occurred.
The mercury never got higher than I
08 degrees and that point was only <
reached on the last day; the farthest
drop was to t> degrees and March 18
the date. In 1896 the 33-degree mark
was reached and the other occasion
was in 189^.
But there was more evidence of the i
ugliness of March weather; just lO'/i j
inches of snow fell during the month,
and the rainfall precipitation totaled
4.14 inches. Furthermore, it was
mighty windy, and the prevailing '
winds, by the way, were northwesterly, ;
with an average velocity of nine miles. 1
For live minutes on March 28 the
wind blew hardest. It reached a 1
velocity of twenty-seven miles an hour
and it was from the east at that.
Throughout the month there were
but nine really clear days; nine were I
partly cloudy, on thirteen days the j
heavens were laden with clouds, while
on the other thirteen there was a j
tenth of an inch or more of rain or |
snow. While the month wasn't re- J
markable for fogs, auroras, liail nor j
: thunder storms, there was plenty of I
| sleet. On four different occasions I
there was some of that.
"All in all," said the man who likes
to keep tabs on the weather, "March
not only came in like a lion, but it j
behaved like a regular Leo nearly all
month."
The Susquehanna behaved well I
throughout March except during the ;
last few days. The lowest stage above
low water mark that was reached was |
j 4.4 feet, and this tigure was recorded I
| on March 8 anil 20; the highest stage |
] was March 30, when the 18.3 foot j
| level was topped. At that the average
height was 6.2 feet.

GASOLINE PROBE
IS FAR-REACHING
Vast Mass of Data on Rise in
Price Collected; Report
Soon to Congress
Washington, D. C., April 3.—Gov- j
ernment agencies investigating the j
spectacular rise in 1 lie price of *aso- j
line have virtually concluded preliml- I
nary phases of their work and will re
port to Congress this week, in the
meantime the Department of Justice,
which has kept in close touch with
the situation, will consider the evi
dence with a view to determining,
whether prosecutions are warranted I
under the antitrust law.
Every available field agent of the
Federal Trade Commission lias been
assigned to the gasoline inquiry, under
the direction of Commissioner W. .1. '
Harris. Reports by the various com- \
panics involved have been checked, so
far as possible. Crude oil producers,
manufacturing companies, pipe lines, :
selling agencies, even tank wagons, in )
every section of the country has been
under surveillance. A tremendous
mass of data has resulted, bearing on
all phases of.the industry.
The first report to Congress in re- j
sponse to Senate resolutions will con- ]
tain comparative figures showing the I
amount of gasoline and crude oil pro- j
duced at present and two or three
years ago, the volume exported, rela
tive costs of production, amounts sold
in each section of the country then
and now and comparative wholesale ;
and retail prices. No comment will j
be made on the reasons for the rise.
A second report, data for which is
not yet complete, will supplement the
tirst with an analysis of the situation
and will set forth reasons to which the
commission attributes the tremendous
increase.
Still another report, dealing with
any facts the investigation may dis
close relating to unjust discrimination
by manufacturing and producing com
panies, is contemplated later.
Four Salient Points
The Investigation has been con
ducted with a view to determining four
salient points, as follows: *
1. The extent of production and use
of gasoline now and two and three
years ago.
2. The volume of gasoline exported
and the supply remaining hero for
