What a | glorious condition to attain, and yet | how very easy it is if one will only J adopt the morning inside' bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel | dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul | tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system | each morning and flushing out the j whole of the internal poisonous stag- I nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or j well, should, each morning before | breakfast, drink a glass of real hot j water with a teaspoonfut of limestone j phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus cleans ing, sweetening and purifying the en tire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The ac tion of hot water and limestone phos phate on an empty stomach is won derfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a I splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside or gans. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism: others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions .are urged to get a quarter pound of lime- I stone phosphate from the drug store f which will cost very little, but is suffi cient to make any one a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sani tation. —Advertisement. / \ Quality—GOßGAS—Service ————, What Gorgas Makes i < Gorgas • Guarantees VOCALS| quick relief ! i for I \ Coughs—Colds Hoarseness —Sore Throat—Laryngitis Stop flic tickle Stop the cough Clear tlic voice Pleasantly flavored 250 the Box GORGAS'DRUG STORE ! 16 N.

(Continued.) CHAPTER I. Tha Plant Men. ES I stood upon the bluff before my cottage on that clear, cold night In the early part of March, ISSC, the noble Hudson flowing like the silent specter of a dead river below tue, I felt again the strange, compelling influence of the mighty god of war, my beloved Mai's, which for ten lonesome years I had implored with outstretched arms to carry me back to my lost love. Not since that other March night in 1866, when I had stood without that Arizona cave in which my still and lifeless body lay wrapped in the aliniii tude of earthly death, had I felt the irresistible attraction of the god of my profession. Wifli arms outstretched toward the red eye of the great star, I stood pray ing for a return of that strange power which twice had drawn me through the Immensity of space, praying as 1 had prayed on a thousand nights be fore during the years that I had wait ed and hoped. Suddenly a qualm of nausea swept over me, my senses swam, my knees gave beneath me, and I pitched head long to the ground upon the very verge of the dizzy bluff. . Instantly iny brain cleared, and there swept back across the threshold of my memory the vivid picture of the hor rors of that ghostly Arizona cave; again, as on that far gone night, my muscles refused to respond to my will, and again as though even here upon the banks of the placid Hudson I could hear the awful moans and rus tling of the fearsome thing which had lurked and threatened me from the dark recesses of the cave. I made the same mighty and super human effort to break the bonds of the strange anaesthesia which held me, and again came the sharp click as of the sudden parting of a taut wire, and I stood naked and free beside the staring, lifeless thing that had so re cently pulsed with the warm lifeblood of John Carter. With scarcely a parting glance 1 turned my eyes again toward Mars, lifted my hands toward his lurid rays and waited. Xtfr did I have long to wait, for scarce had I turned ere I shot with the rapidity of thought into the awful void before me. There was the same instant of un j thinkable cold and utter darkness that I had experienced twenty years be i fore, and then I opened my eyes in an other world, beneath the burning rays of a hot sun, which beat through a i tiny opening in the dome of the | mighty forest in which I lay. The scene that met my yes was so uuma'rtian that my heart sprang to my throat as the sudden fear swept through me that I had been aimlessly tossed upon some strange planet by a cruel fate. I lay upon a close cropped sward of red grass-like vegetation, and about me stretched a grove of strange and beau tiful trees, covered with huge and gor geous blossoms and filled with brilliant, voiceless birds. I call them birds since they were winged, but mortal eye nev er rested on such unearthly shapes. The vegetation was similar to that which covers the lawns of the red Mar tians of the great waterways, but the trees and birds were unlike anything that I had over seen upon Mars, and then through the farther trees I could see that most unmartian of all sights— TERRIBLE BURNING AND ITCHING BLISTERS ON ARMS AND HANDS HEALED BY CUTICURA "My trouble began with a terrible burning and itching on my hands and arms, apd I scratched so that blood and water would come, Then little blisters broke out, My arms and hands were Vterribly swollen and inflamed, and my rest was broken, I could not do my work without protecting my hands, ani I would be nearly crazy when I put them in water, or stood near the stove. One arm was very much (Jisfigured.

As I rose to investirate further I ex perienced the same ridiculous catas trophe that had met my first attempt to walk under Martian conditions. The lesser attraction of this smajler planet and the reduced air pressure of its greatly rarefied atmosphere afforded so little resistance to my earthly mus cles that the ordinary exertion of the mere act of rising sent me several feel into the air and precipitated me upon my face in the soft nd brilliant grass of this strange world. This experience, however, gave me some slightly increased assurance that, after all, I might indeed be in some, to me, unknown corner of Mars, and this was very possible, since during my ten years' residence upon the planet I had exploded but a comparatively tiny area of its vast expanse. I rose again, laughing at my forget fulness, and soon had mastered onct more the art of attuning my earthlj sinews to these changed conditions. As I walked slowly down the imper ceptible slope toward the sea I coulc not help but note the parklike appear ance of the sward and trees. The grass was as close cropped anc carpet-like as some old English lawn and the trees themselves showed evi dence of careful pruning to a uniforir height of about fifteen feet, so that af one turned his glance in any direction the forest had the appearance at a lit tie distance of a vast, high ceile< chamber. All these evidences of careful and systematic cultivation convinced mt that I had been fortunate enough tc make my entry into Mars on this sec ond occasion through the domain oi a civilized people and that when 1 should find them I would be accordec the courtesy and protection that mj rank as a prince of the house of Tardo; Mors entitled me to. The trees of the forest attracted mj deep admiration as I proceeded towarc the sea. Their great trunks, some o! them fully a hundred feet in diameter attested their prodigious height, whict I could only guess at, since at no poini could I penetrate their dense foliagi above me to more than sixty or eigbtj feet. As I neared the confines of the fores: I beheld before me and between tb( grove and the open sea a broad ex panse of meadow land, and as I was about to emerge from the shadows o the trees a sight met my eyes that ban ished all romantic and pOetic reflection It was the sight of a score of figure moving slowly about the meadow neai the bank of a mighty river. Odd, grotesque shapes they were, un like anything that I had ever seei upon Mars, and yet at a distance mos manlike in appearance. The largei specimens appeared to bo about ten oi twelve feet in height when they stoot erect and to be proportioned as to tors< and lower extremities precisely as ). earthly man. Their arms, however, were ver.i short and from where I stood seemei as though fashioned much after tin manner of an elephant's trunk in tha they moved in sinuous and snakelike undulations, as though entirely with out bony structure, or if there were bones they must be vertebral in na ture. As I watched them from behind the trunk of a huge tree one of the crea tures moved slowly in my direction, engaged in the occupation that seemed to lie the principal business of each of them anil which consisted in running their oddly shaped hands over the sur face of the sward, for what purpose 1 could not determine. As he approached quite close to me I obtained an excellent view of him, and. though I was later to become bet ter acquainted with his kind, I may say that that single cursory examina tion of this awful travesty of nature would have proved quite sufficient to my desires had I been a free agent. Its hairless body was of a strange and ghoulish blue except for a broad band of white which encircled its pro truding, single eye, an eye that was all dead white—pupil, iris and ball. Its nose was a ragged, inflamed, cir cular hole in the center of its blank face, a hole that resembled more close ly nothing that I could think of other than a fresh' bullet wound which has not yet commenced to bleed. Below this repulsive orifice the face was quite blank to the chin, for the thing had no mouth that I could dis cover. The head, with the exception of the face, was covered by a tangled mass of jet black hair some eight or ten inches in length. Each hair was about the bigness of a large angleworm, and as the thing moved the muscles of its scalp this awful head covering seemed to writhe and wriggle and crawl about the fearsome face as though indeed each separate hair was endowed with independent life. The body and the legs were as sym metrically human as nature could have fashioned them, nnrt the feet, too. were human in shape, but of 1 monstrous pro portions.
