Drink Hot Water

Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an Inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morning
to flush from the system the previous
days waste, sour Concentrations and
poisonous toxins before it is absorbed
into the blood. Just as coal when it
burns leaves OCnind certain amount
Of inCombustible material 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 IL not eliminated, form toxins and
poisOns which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which are
intended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of healthy
bloom in your -hceks, to see your skin
get clearer and clearer, you are told to
drink every morning upon arising a
glass OF hot WaI2r with teaSpoonful
of limestone phosphate in 1t, which Ia a

others who are bothered with head

phated hot water drinking. and are as
sured of very pronounced results In one
or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug store
but Is sufficient 10 demonstrate that
just as soap and hot water cleanses
purifies and freshens the skin on the
outside, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the inside organs. We
must always consider that Internal SAINT

outside cleanliness. because the skin

CLARKE PRESIDENT PRO ITEM Arkansas Senator Wins, After Con- test'n Caucus, by 2S to 23 Vote

Washington, Dec. 3.-Senator Jas. P. Clarke of Arkansas was chosen to- lay for president pro tempore of the Senate by the Democratic caucus. Sen ator Clarke defeated Senator Pomer- enc of Ohio after a spirited contest. The vo e was 2S to 23.
 Senator Pcmerene was supported by members who urged tha the Arkansas senator should not be reelected De- cause of his revolt against the ship purchase bill at the last session. After the vote was taken Senator Pomere ne moved to make the choice of Sena' or Clarke unanimous, and this was done by rising vote.
 While the caucus ended harmonic usly, it seems probable that the vic- tory of the Clarke faction will en- danger success of the movement to adopt a cloture rule in the Senate. The caucus will meet again tomorrow to take actions. It has been agreed to vote by o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 The division in the Clarke-Pomerene fight was rather sharply drawn All the Democrats who 'oined with Sena- ter Clarke in his fight against the ship purchase bill stood solidly behind him and most of the Southern senators also supported him.
 Senator Fletcher of Florida and Martin and Swanson of Virginia, how ever voted for Senator Pomerene. Senator Fletcher had charge cf ship purchase bill. Majority Leader voted for Senator Pomerene, whose candidacy was most actively cham pioned by Senators Walsh of Montana and Reed of Missouri
