 out poisona

Life is not merely to live. but to live we'll, eat well, digest well, work we'll, sleep well, look we'll. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Foll ss who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue. nasty breath, acid stomach, can. instead. feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous, stag nant matter.
 Everyone whether ailing sick or well. should each morning, before breakfast. drink a glass of real hot phosphate in it to wash from the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible wfsIte. sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and lime stone phosphate on an empty stomach Ss wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast fast the water and phosphate is quiet ly extracting large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation bilious spells, stomach trouble. rheumatism, others who have saIlow skins. blood disorders and sicldy complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone pht.Iphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro- nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.

EXEMPTION OPINION
 FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL.
But One Appointee by Tax Depart nent Exempt from Civil Service.

The difference of opinion between the tax commissioners department and the civil service commission over the power of the tax commissioner to make appointments without confining himself to the commissions eligible list has been settled by an opinion which Attorney General George E. Hinman gave Wednesday to Secretary H. E. Wright of the commission. The decision sustains the position of the commission.
 The amendment to the civil service law passed at the last session of the general assembly allows heads of de- partments to make personal appoint ments previously controlled by rules of the civil service commission when not specifically exempted. The provision of the amendment reads "one secre- tary or clerk of each department, board or commission authorized by law to appoint a secretary or clerk" In the opinion of the attorney generaN that applies to such positions only when they are authorized by law.
 Secretary Wright asked, the attorney general what positions the tax commis- sioner could exempt under section 8. The attorney general replied that the exemption of 'one private secretary, clerk or stenographer" was to be con strued as permitting the exemption of one appointee only, that is, either a private secretary or a clerk or a sten- ographer. The attorney general con cludes by Saying that the exemption of one position exhausts the right of ex- emption.
