In the tests made before the city accepted the plant the destructor | consumed 74,770 pounds of garbage and 30,585 pounds of rubbish in sev- | enteen hours, no other fue) than the | rubbish being used. Thus about 29 per cent, of rubbish reduced about 71 per cent, of garbage to 2578 containing practically no organ. matter. The residue after incineration amounted to @ trifle over 9 per cent. of the vol- ume of rubbish and garbage con- sumed, Normally the percentages are near- ly reversed. In the year 1918 this plant consumed 56,874.67 cubic yards of rubbish, and 13,121.54 cubic yards of garbage. From this total of 69,996.21 | cubic yards the residue in ash was | 2,304 cubic yards, or only a little} over 8 per cent. of the volume con- | sumed. The expense of this reduction | [ for the year, including pay of tho| engineer, stakers and watchmen, the cost of supplies and the carting of ashes, was $12,410.20, or ess than 18 cents per cube yard. f |, To look one’s best and feel one's best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fermenta- tions and poisonous toxins, before it forbed into the blood. Just as when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible ma- terial in the form of ashes, so the food | and drink taken each day leave in the | alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which, if not eliminated, forms toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are in- tendeg to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the gtow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising @ glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of wash- ing the waste material toxins from the stomach, liver, Waneys and bowels, before putting more food into the stomach. Men and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid com- plexion, also those who wake up with @ coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomaeh or constipation, should begin this hosphated hot water drinking. A quartes pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and jate act on the inside LAUGH With False Teeth?

Corpl, Rickard and Vera Hoffman Plighted Their Troth in a Song. No, 2090 Webster Avenue, the Bronx. Prior to a day in July, 1917, when Corpi. Rickard hiked off with his out- fit he and Vera were “doing a double” in the Valcour Club's show up in the Bronx as amateur entertainers, Their best song on their last night on the Valcour stage required Miss Hoffman to r “rn wait," a every other liae. When they had finished Vera and Parl were seen in earnest conversa- tion behind the scenes. As they parted they clasped hands and said together: “We'll both wait.” And Rickatd went off to Spartan- burg and thence to France as a mem- ber of the Headquarters Company. His reputation as a singer and per- former went with him, and when tal- nt was needéd to keep the spirits of the boys up the Corporal joined the ranks of the entertainers. He quickly earned the sobriquet of the “Al John- son of the Army.” Last week, when the Leviathan dumped -her cargo of fighters, Vera Hoffman was surprised that she did not find her hero among the troops. Late Saturday night, however, she got word he was on the Nieuw Am- sterdam atid went down the hay with a detegatton of thie’ Valcour entertain. erg, They: missed him, but last night thé telephone was busy. “Did you wait?” he said slowly, ‘Did you?" came back Vera, and both answered together: ‘We did.” Charley Halley says there will be a Mr. and Mrs. Rickard on the pro- gramme of the club's next show. Corpl. Rickard lives at No. 1928 Uni- versity Avenue, Before he joined the colors he was foreign agent for a large typewriter concern. Both he and his bride-to-be are well known in the Bronx. ‘Their work as amateur performers at the shows of the cour Club and charitable benefits has won high commendation.
