THE OLNEY ENTERPRISE
DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you' really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom ill.
JOINT CELEBRATION
HELD BY TELEPHONE
FORMER UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
IN DALLAS AND NEW YORK
OBSERVE MARCH 2.
If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull, dizzy headache; or. if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await-
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, immediately up-
on arising, drink a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it. This is intended to first
neutralize and then wash out of your
stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet
of intestines all the indigestible waste,
poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime-
stone phosphate from your druggist or
at the store and begin enjoying this
morning inside-bath. It is said that
men and women who try this become
enthusiastic and keep it up daily. It
Is a splendid health measure for it is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb im-
purities into the blood, causing dis-
ease, while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
1L JuM as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.—Adv.

ON LIVER; BOILS
No sick headache, biliousness,,
bad taste or constipation
by morning.
Get a 10-cent box.
Are you keeping your bowels, liver,
and ’ stomach clean, pure and fresh
with Gas carets, or merely forcing a
passageway ) every few days with
. Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or
Purgative Waters?
Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg-
ulate the stomach, remove the sour
and fermenting food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
In the bowels.
A Cascaret to-night will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep—never gripe, sicken
or cause any inconvenience, and cost
only 10 cents a box from your store.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
have Headache, Biliousness, Coated
Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach, or
Constipation. Adv.

Addresses in Each City Heard in Din-
ing Halls in Other Cities by Means
of Individual Receivers.
Dallas, Teas.—Three hundred and
fifty former students of the university
of Texas, 150 of them seated around
the banquet table at the McAlpin
hotel in New York city, and 200 at the
banquet room of the Dallas chamber
of commerce and manufacturers’ as-
sociation, held a joint March 2 cele-
bration. Marvelous strides that have
been made in long-distance telephony
made the feat possible, and by that
means the speeches at both banquets
were heard by all the guests. Not
only was it a joint celebration, hut
Dr. W. J. Battle, acting president of
the university, in Austin, took part
xnd delivered an address in Austin
that was heard in both Dallas and
New York by the guests at both ban-
quets.
Through D. A, Frank, formerly of
Dallas, now in New York, arrange-
ments were completed for the demon-
stration of the possibilities of the
long-distance conversations and the
Addresses which took place. For an
hour Dallas and New York were con-
nected. Old friends and relatives in
the cities, separated by a distance of
2,200 miles, exchanged greetings.
Toastmasters at both banquets intro-
duced their speakers, and the guests
In New York and Dallas listened with
individual receivers.
The voices from New York were
practically as clear as those in Dallas,
and during the entire time of - the
speech-making the words of the speak-
ars in New York could be heard as
distinctly as if they had been on the
local exchange. Dr. W. J. Battle, act-
ing president of the university, de-
livered a five-minute address in Aus-
tin which was heard distinctly both
.n Dallas and New York. The Texan
ilumni of New York gave Rattle-de-
thrat in the banquet room in New
York, which was heard clearly by
the banqueters in Dallas. They an-
swered with “Hullabaloo,” another
university yell, which the New York
quests reported they heard ■ distinctly.
Bunnells County Remains Dry by 450
Ballinger, Tex.—After a five'years’
droutm Runnels comity remains dry
in an election held Saturday by a ma-
jority of 450 votes. The day was an
Ideal one and the farmers were up
with their work, and the largest vote
ever polled on any question .was cast.
Ballinger gave the pros 16 majority,
the first pro victory in the history of
the town.
Fierce Wind Drives Prairie Fire
Hereford, Texas—A prairie fire
broke out at the Wyehe schoolhouse,
five miles southeast of here Sunday
afternoon with the strongest wind ex-
perienced for a year blowing. There
was little prospect of getting the fire
under control until it burned every-
thing in front of it. There were more
than 500 men from this city and Can-
yon fighting it as best they could.
Asserts We Should Make Allowances
Because These Are Troublous
Times for Belligerents.
New York—Col. E. M. House, who
sailed for Europe Dec. 28 on a confi-
dential mission for President Wilson
arrived here Sunday on the steam-
ship Rotterdam, from Falmouth. As
soon as he landed from a special
coast guard cutter, which met the Rot-
terdam at quarantine, Colonel House
announced he would leave at once for
Washington to meet the president.
He declined to comment on his mis-
sion or what he had seen or done
while abroad, reiterating the * state-
ment he had made prior to leaving
here in December that his mission
was to convey to some of the Amer-
ican ambassadors information having
to do with international questions
that could not be supplied them by
cable or letter.
Asked if he noticed any marked
change in the attitude of Europe to-
ward the United States since his pre-
vious trip, Colonel House said:
“Should Make Allowances.”
“Reports of an unfavorable atti-
tude toward the United States by the
people of Europe are exaggerated. At
least, I heard no criticism in any of
the countries I visited. I will say al-
so that we should remember that the
people of the belligerent Nations are
living with their nerves on edge, and
we should make allowances accord-
ingly.”
He added that everywhere he went,
he was treated with every courtesy
and consideration.
W. P. LANE DIES IN FT. WORTH.
IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother'*
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair,
Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear-
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur Flair Remedy,” you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
Bimple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan-
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist, says every-
body uses Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied—it's so easy to use, too. Yon
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an-
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.—Adv.
Over a billion dollars was spent last
year by the American public for to-
bacco.
RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR.
To half pint, of water add 1 oz. Bay Rum, a
Email box of Barbo Compound, amt M oz. of
glycerine. Apply to the hair twice a week
until it becomes the desired shade. Any drug-
gist can put this up or you can mix it at
home at very little cost. It will gradually
darken streaked, faded gray hair, and re-
moves dandruff. It i3 excellent for falling
hair and will make harsh hair soft and glossy.
It will not color the scalp, is not sticky or
greasy, and does not tub off.—Adv.

Oil Fire at Mount Pleasant.
Mount Pleasant, Texas.—The stor-
age house and several small tanks
containing oil and gasoline belonging
to the Gulf Refining company were

Fort Worth, Texas.—The death, of
W. P. Lane, former state comptroller,
occurred at his home here Monday

ship and served in that capacity for
four years, returning to his home
here last summer.
Two years ago he was a candidate
for congressman at large, after he
withdrew from the governor’s race in
favor of the prohibition candidate,
Thomas H. Ball, at the convention in
this city. He has been active in the
ranks of the prohibitionists of Texas
for a number of years.
Mr. Lane was a native of Lee coun-
ty, Virginia, where lie was born 47

200 Words a Minute Wireless Record.
Chicago.—A speed of 200 words a
minute is said to have been accom-
plished by the wireless station at the
Great Lakes Naval training school
through the use of transmitting relay
and a recently invented receiving ma-
chine, it was announced. Thirty

considered a fast record.
Gin Burns at Brandon
Brandon, Texas—The White Gin
and Mill company’s gin has been to-
tally destroyed by fire. The loss
amounts to $10,000, fully covered by
insurance. As the ginning season has
closed, very little cotton in bales or
seed was lost.
Gas Well Near Mineral Wells
Mineral Wells, Texas—Several days
ago a gas well was brought in on the
Hess ranch, four miles south of town.
It was thought to be about a half-
million capacity well when first
brought in, but the flow has increas-
ed until on a guage test made it was
found to be producing 2,000,000 feet
dry gas and developed 300-pound
rock pressure in three minutes. An-
other well will be started immediately
by the same interests.
Wm. Alexander’s Slayers Executed.
San Francisco, Cal.—Charles E. T.
Oxnam was hanged at San Quentin
penitentiary and Glenn Witt waa

er with a revolver, and in the course
of robbing the place they killed Alex-
ander.
Northeast Coast of England Raided
London—A Zeppelin raid took place
Sunday night when two hostile air-
ships crossed over the northeast
coast of England. The official state-
ment announcing the raid gives no
information as to the damage done.
“At the time of this report,” the state-
ment continues, “their movements
have not been clearly defined. Some
bombs were dropped, which fell into
the sea near the shore, but informa-
tion is not available as to whether
any damage was done on land.”

imir’s Polish Catholic church here,
was shot and instantly killed at the
church by Agnes Dudeke, 38 years
old, who told the police the pi'iesl
had wronged her.
La*e Proprietor of London Daily Tele-
graph Will Long Be Kindly
Remembered.
The proprietor of the London Daily
Telegraph, who passed away a short
time ago at his country house at Bea-
consfield, Buckinghamshire, was a man
whose life of eighty-two years was cra^
in which a kindly philanthropy wrfS
never lost sight of in business. This
was Edward Levy Lawson, Baron
Burnham, born of Jewish parents, De-
cember 28, 183?, and educated at Uni-
versity college. London. To him has
been given ttfe credit of discovering,
at least in Britain, the utility of a
newspaper afr a medium for the distri-
bution of charity. It was in 1864, 52
years ago, that this practical philan-
thropy began, when he organized a
collection through the Daily Telegraph
for the relief of the cotton spinners
of Lancashire, rendered destitute by
the Civil war in the United States,
which had cut off the export of cotton.
It was in the office of the Daily Tele-
graph that the expedition of Henry M.
Stanley into central Africa was first
planned, to be followed by the open-
ing of the Dark Continent to civiliza-
tion. Mr. Lawson was raised to the
peerage in 1903. He had been created
a baronet in 1892. He bore the prouder
title of “the Grand Old Man of British
Journalism.”
LEAD WORLD IN INVENTION
Americans Are Easily Supreme ir?
That Department of the World's
Progress.
During the past 50 years the people
of the United States have uttered two-
thirds of all the revolutionary epoch-
making inventions of the world, rang-
ing from the telephone and the incan-
descent lamp to Wright’s aeroplane
mid high-speed steel. Each day the
United States patent office issues an
average of 200 letters patent to Ameri-
can inventors, and the number of in-
ventions is increasing with the years.
During the fiscal year ended June
30, 1915, there were filed 66,497 appli-
cations for patents for inventions,
2,679 applications for design patents,
173 applications for reissues, 8,376 ap-
plications for registration of trade-
marks, 947 applications for labels and
444 applications for prints, the total
number of such applications, being 79,-
116. In addition, 1,938 appeals and 26
disclaimers were filed.
During the year there were granted
44^402 patents (including 1,489 designs
and 179 reissues), 6,919 registrations
for trade-iparks, 762 registrations for
labels and\321 registrations for prints.

With Musical Honors.
Quite recently a new recruit, who
Is rather a humorist, was on guard at
Fhxlwood barracks, Preston, says the
London Mail. During the time he was
on duty the colonel Game on the scene,
and the sentry gave the challenge.
“Halt! ’Wlio comes there?” Receiv-
ing the reply, and recognizing who it
was, he gave the order, “Guard, turn
out!”
Now, he was a droll sort of speak-
er, and the colonel was dissatisfied
with the way the recruit gave the or-
der, so he explained that he should
give the order more sharply; in fact,
he said, “Let your voice ring out and
be kind of musical in tone.” To put
him to the test he sent the guard
back, and coming up again he received
the challenge, and the recruit receiv-
ing in reply, “Colonel,” he sang out
“Hi tiddley hi ti, guard turn out!”
Died on Tour.
The tragic death some time ago of
Mr. Lewis Waller at Nottingham will
remind those who are interested in
the history of the stage of the numer-
ous similar deaths which the modern
touring system has led to. Charles
Mathews died in a Manchester hotel;
Sir Henry Irving passed away in a
hotel in Bradford, and Charles Dillon
had an equally sudden ending in the
little border town of Hawick, it being
said of him that he died as gracefully
as if he had been acting on the stage.
G. V. Brooke was. drowned at sea.
The vessel in which, with his sister,
he started for Australia in 1866 found-
ered, and Brooke’s conduct throughout
the shipwreck was described by the
Jew survivors as manly and ever
heroic.
Twenty-Six Persons Bit by Mad Dog,
Van Alstyne, Texas.—Great excite-
ment was caused here Monday wheu
a telegram was received from the
state pasteur institute at Austin, stat-
ing that the examination of the head
of a dog which had been sent there
from this place showed that it had
died from a malignant form of rabies,
and advising that all those who had
been bitten be sent to Austin at once
for treatm-int. Twenty-six are known
to have been bitten, and it is quite
certain tcere are more.
In Place of Cotton Wool.
It is only recently that attention hab
been drawn in this country to the re-
markably absorbent and cleansing
qualities of sphagnum moss when used
as a dressing for wounds in place ol
the familiar cotton wool. The great
strain that has been put on the surgi-
cal dressings generally employed has
compelled surgeons to look about for a
substitute-, with the result that sphag-
num moss is being more and more
called upon for the purpose. The new
works are to he opened in the Scot-
tish capital, where the moss will be
treated and made ready for use. The
moss is not being prepared as a com-
mercial undertaking hut merely to aft-
ford assistance in a good cause.

BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM
Dear Mr. Editor:
For a long time I suffered from back-
ache, pain in left side, frequent urina-
tion (bothering me at all times during
the day ard night), and the uric acid
in my blood caused me to suffer from
rheumatism along with a constant
tired, worn-out feeling. I heard of the
new discovery of Dr. Pierce, of the
Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., called
“Anuric.” After giving “Anuric” a
good trial I believe it to be the best
kidney remedy on the market today.
I have tried other kidney medicines
but these “Anuric Tablets” of Dr.
Pierce’s are the only ones that yill
cure kidney and bladder troubles.

Hospital for several years proved that
“Anuric” is 37 times more active than

Safety First.
A missionary in a slum district pre-
sented a ragged little urchin with a
new suit of clothes. More than a
week passed away, and the mission-
ary met his little friend again.
Being well acquainted with the con-
dition of the boy’s home, and the
drunken father, who pawned every-
thing he could lay his hands on, he
was surprised and pleased to find that
the lad still wore the suit.
“Still wearing your suit?” he asked,
and there was a word of pathos in
the lad’s reply.
“Yes, sir; I’ve slept in it.”
Enough Evidence.
Two rustics in the old country were
discussing, one day, a newly erected
postal pillar box in a village street.
For a long time they were unable to
think of its use, when suddenly one
said:
“Aa knaw; it belongs to the Salva-
tion Army; that’s why it’s paidted
red.”
But after a little consideration the
other replied:
“Na, na; ye’re wrong, lad; it can’t
belong to them, because it says, ‘No
collection on Sunday.’ ”
Modern Superiority.
“Of course you admire Abraham Lin-
coln’s speeches.”
“Yes," replied the orator; “he talked
well, but he had his limitations. A
man of his compact and thoughtful
style could never have held his own in
a filibustering campaign.”

Everything in Stock.
A general merchant from Havre,
Mont., is in New York this week learn-,*
ing the latest wrinkles in the art of
selling corsets. The merchant’s line of
goods at home includes lightning rods,
chewing tobacco, crackers, hoe han-
dles, rope, molasses, rat traps, canned
goods, matches, calico, assorted naila
and corsets. And it is a good bet
that if the truth were known, prunes,®
sheet music,and bustles may be ob-
tained at his store—or if he didn’t
have them he could order ’em for you.
Averages.
“The law of averages asserts itself
even ’ in holidays,” remarked the in-
tensely statistical man. “For instance,
immediately after Valentine’s day we
have George Washington’s birth-
day.”
“What has that to do with aver-
ages?”
“Immediately after we get through
with Valentine fictions we begin to
celebrate the man who couldn’t tell
a lie.”

Three Words
To Your Grocer—
“New Post Toasties”
will bring a package of breakfast flakes with a delicious
new corn flavour—flakes that don’t mush down when
milk or cre^m is added, nor are they “chaffy” in the
package like the ordinary kind.
These New Post Toasties are manufactured by a new
process using quick, intense heat which raises tiny
bubbles over each flake, the distinguishing character-
istic. And the new process also brings out a new corn
flavour, never tasted in corn flakes of the past.
Try a handful dry—they’re good this way and the
test will reveal their superior flavour. But they’re
usually served with milk or cream.
