how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise,
splitting headache, stuffy flom a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, can, instead, feel as
as a daisy by opening the sluices of
the system each morning and flush
ing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter.
Every one. whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous day's indigesti
ble waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach. The action of hot
water' and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acid
ity and gives one a splendid appe
tite for breakfast. While you arc
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a thor

Halloween Festivities
Called Off by Raunick
As a Health Measure
—.
All Holioween festivities this year
have been prohibited by Dr. J. M. J.
Raunick, city health officer, as an ad
ditional precaution against further
spread of the influenza epidemic. The
order was issued after a conference
with Mayor Keister and Chief of
Police Wetzel, both of whom approv
ed the move and said they would co
operate in enforcing It.
The officials said they did not like
to interfere with the youngsters and
deprive them of the annual celebra
tion at this time of year, but to safe
guard the health of the residents of
the city and the boys and girls them
selves, they said it would be the only
safe conurse to follow.
Even small social gatherings are
under the ban, Dr. Raunick announc
ing that if they were permitted, it
might lead to larger ones and it
would be impossible to follow them
up throughout the city. Danger of
contagion is not over yet, the health
official declared, and any gathering
might result seriounsly by causing a
[ second outbreak of the disease.

Wilson Partisan Chief
First, Says Roosevelt;
Presidency Comes Next
By Associated Press
Oyster Ray, N. Y„ Oct. 26. Com
menting last night on President Wil
son's appeal to the people to return a
Democratic Congress in the Novem
ber elections if they approve of his
course. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
said:
"The President's statement. Is an an
nouncement that he is a partisan
leader first and President of all the
people second.
"It is, of course, the repudiation of
one of his former statements to the
effect that politics was adjourned—-
a statement which, of course, he has
already repudiated by his action.
"I have no comment just at this mo
ment, but I will deal with the matter
in a speech after 1 have had time to
read the document which all good
Americans will regard as the most
lamentable appeal to politics ever made
bv a President during a great war
which has been more heartily support
ed by all good citizens without regard
to party hut which so far as there
have been party differences at all has
been more heartily supported by his
political opponents than by his politi
cal friends."
Vare Defies Liquor
Men at Election
State-wide attention has been di
rected to the meeting of the Philadel
phia Republican city committee, yes
terday, ut yvhloh it was urged upon
ward leaders that they start their
workers canvassing the city to help
the Republican ticket. The meeting
met the influenza edict by getting to
gether In two sections, the first of
members from wards One to Twenty,
and the second of members from the
remaining wards.
Senator Vare directed a few blasts
against the liquor men. "We defy
them to try and make an issue of the
closing of the saloons against Sena
tor Sproul,' said the South Philadel
phia Senator. "They are foolish if
they try to unite In opposition against
him on any grounds, as he Is recog
nized as undoubtedly the best man to
conduct the affairs of the state at the
resent time, one of our greatest busi
nessmen and a man well experienced
in public affairs."
Senator David Martin also defied
the liquor men. "I don't give a snap
of my fingers for them." he said, "we
all know that the liquor people have
no real Influence In their wards,"
David H. Lane was among those who
urgedw the meeting to make a thor
ough canvass of the city.

Allegheny County Endeavorers will
pull off one of the biggest mobiliza
tions of the Endeavor Society ever
given in the history of the young
people's work in Pennsylvania, about
the middle of Noveniber in the Syria
Mosque, Pittsburgh. Two big speak

MAIL BY MOTOR
PROVES SUCCESS
One Route Between Philadel
phia and Washington Earns
Neat Sum Each Month
Washington, -D. C. Cross
country operation of mail carry
ing motor trucks, tried out by the
post office department on an ex
perimental but nevertheless, big
scale, during the last year, has
been a great success. James I.
Blakslee, fourth assistant pastmas
ter general, has found that one
truck route between Philadelphia
and Washington, cutting chiefly
through territory without direct
rail connection and costing SBOO a
month to operate, has in eight
months developed a revenue of
$16,000 monthly. Another route, into
Washington, where 28 parcels a day
were moved during the first month,
now shows one ton of traffic each
way each 24 hours.
Seventy lines now operate over the
country all but one east of the Mis
hissippi, and there are visions of a
svstem which will furnish $360,000-
000 annually in revenue for road
construction or other purposes.
"Why, General Pershing has 9,000
trucks damaged or ruined over on
the other side," said Mr .Blakeslee,
telling of the growth of the system.
"I don't care what condition they are
in. We want them all and can fix
up and put every one of them to
work. What's even more Important
he's got some boys over there shy
a hand, or an arm, or a leg, and wo
can use them all too, in good work
at good pav, that they can do. Con
gress gave us $300,000 to work with
and if we had the earnings of the
lines themselves, we could expand
almost indefinitely. As it is, $9,000,-
COO will be requested by the division
for next year, and 1 think it will be
appropriated. People realize what
we are doing.
"Operating at night is the- most
profitable, and we have but two ma
chines doing that, out of New York.
The tvpical route is about 180 miles
long, 90 miles out, and 90 miles
back.
"Almost always the constant oper
ation of the lines produces a re
turn load, the universal character of
the mail service allowing almost
anything to be taken. The mail
trucks go, come rain, storn\, or any
thing, and so the traffic develops.
Rates are pretty high, the lowest be
ing about $2 0 a ton. That is what
makes the surplus revenues.
Concrete Roods Needed
"Of course, we'll have.to have con
crete roads, but the business can
produce the money fo build them.
There are some economies in distri
bution of produce that are simply
amazing. It has added an entirely
new factor to transcontinental trans
portation, and we shal just begin
finding it out when more extensive
operation goes into effect during the
next two years." u ....
Just why Mr. Blakslee sees it that
way can be understood from just
one commodity price list. Milk re
tails now in Washington at 11 cents
a quart. Milk is coming in on mail
trucks direct to consumers for 10
cents a quart. Naturally the trucks
are being weighed down with tive
gailon cans as consumers learn of
the possibility. The trucks tap milk
producing territory that are outside
the Usual hauling lines, and off the
ruil arteries.
"Where'll the roads come from to
run 9.000 trucks?" He asks, "Well,
there are 60,000 rural mail and star
routes being operated in the L nited
States now Sometimes 1 think every
one of them would make a truck
line. Food is being handled ten times
on its way to consumer. We can cut
that to live.
"Watching those figures, since Do
comber, when wc started, has given
me a new jort of inspiration. We
shall be moving the mails and mails
will include a whole unexpected va
iicty of things in new modes before
the generation finishes. Airplanes for
the thousand-mile distances, trains
ior the 500-nule, and trucks for the
250. That's about the schedule."

HOG AND CATTLE
SURVEY PLANNED
Postponement to October 30
Necessary on Account of
Influenza
On account of the epidemic of In
fluenza, the food administration has
found it necessary to postpone the
state-wide survey of cattle and hogs
which had been been contemplated,
until Wednesday, October 30. It had
been intended to use the school chil
dren in the taking of this survey but
on account of the closing of the
schools it has been found impossible
to do so at this time.
The food administration regrets
deeply that this very important un
dertaking must be postponed even
for a short time, because the meat
situation in relation to our army re
