fast daily keeps the doc
tor away.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application of it's untiring re-
search is the recommendation that it
is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system of
the human body as it is to the drains
of the house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can instead, feel fresh as
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the pre-
Vious days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is won
derfully invigorating. 1t cleans out
all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
phosphated hot water is quietly ex-
tracing a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for thor
ough flushing of all the inside organs
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble. rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly COM
plexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from

little, but is sufficient to make any
one a pronounced crank on the sub
ject of internal sanitation.-Adver-
tisement.

so. These things hurt me deeply, as
did not think after the treatment 1
have given her she would harbor
such ina ginings.
Do you think her worthy of my
further consideration? I am a man
who does not give up easily, but there
are times when a fellow should up
hold his self-respect. Is there really
anything more L should do?
PUZZLED
No happiness can grow out of
friendship with a girl who does not
trust you. AS long as she finds you
such suspicious character she
ought to drop you, but since she
doesn't I think it is your place to
give her up.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a mar
ried woman and have five small chill
dren. There is one fault my husband
has which almost breaks my heart.
Whenever my sisters or my SisterS-in-
law come over he runs me down be-
hind my back. And he puts his arms
around them when l am not near to
see it. Several times 1 have caught
him in the act, and later when 1 meet
the girls they tell me about it. My
husband denies it and says that 1 am
Jealous 1t hurst me awfuly, and so
please tell me what to do. l really
feel ashamed of him. Otherwise he
is good to me. If he acted that way
in my presence it would not hurt so
much. A WORRIED WIFE.
Your husbands conduct is decided
ly vulgar and gives you cause to be
ashamed. He is not alone to be
blamed, though. If your sisters and
had reserve and showed
that they did not like what he does
he would not do it. Most self-respect-
ing girls would stay away rather than
b1pCt themselves TO Sllch treatment
The best thing for you to do is to treat
the matter a joke. When the girls
tell you things laugh them off and pre-
tend to know all about them. If the
girls were kindly they would not go
to you with things that hurt.
