Bryan's friends declared, however, he Would not make an active fight for Passage of a warning resolution. ‘The rumor that Germany would de- lay the enforcement of her new U-boat order was prevalent after the conference between the President and the House leaders. No definite foun-! dation for it could be found. The President had told the leaders that he would stand by his policy as ox- pressed in his letter last night to Senator Ston: peat. The President stands letter to Senator Stone, as I nee “Tho, resolution to exclude Amert- cans ffom armed ships will not come up to-day. Some momber might try to obtain unanimous consent, but of course there would be numerous ob Jections. Those who favor passage of the resolution would not want it to come up in that way.” | Mr. Kitchin said he preferred that any extended statement as to the conference at the White House ehould come from Speaker Clark. In a gen- eral way, he said, matters remained tn statue quo, It was his opinion, however, that the proposed resolution warning Americans would not come | up to-day. Chairman Flood of the Foreign Af- fairs Committee sald: “I have heard rumors that the German submarine campaign is to be postponed. The situation is hope- jful. Iam eure that there will be no action in the House to-day.” | SOME DO NOT FIGURE LIKE SPEAKER CLARK. : Reports taken to the White House o-day by some Administration sup- porters in Co: did not agree with Speaker Clark's estimate that a on bis President’s Salient Phrases in Stand for National Honor 1 shall do everything in my power to keep the United States out of war, No nation, no group of nations, has the right while war is in prog- ress to alter or disregard the principles which tions have agreed upon in mitigation of the horrors and sufferings of war. I cannot consent to any abridgement of the rights of American citizens in any respect. The honor and self-respect of the nation is involved. We covet peace and shall preserve it at any cost but the loss of honor. To forbid our people to exercise their rights for fear we might be called upon to vindicate them would be a deop humiliation indeed. If in this instance we allowed expediency to take the place of prin- ciple the door would inevitably be opened to still farther concessions.

Mr. Wilson told the leaders the position of the United States would be weakened if Congress took action such as had been proposed.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet 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 from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by open- ing the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. BO one, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoon- ful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri- fying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach, The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonder- fully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phos- phate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of peope who are bothered with constipation, hilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, which will cost but little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation, 1.’ + DOUBLE VALUE CUT PLUG TOBACCO!
