Drink HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE A

Says we can't help but look

after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones

morning to flush from the system
the previous days waste, sour fer
mentations and poisonous toxins
before it is absorbed into the blood.
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken
each day leave in the alimentary or
Cans a certain amount of indigesti-
Bic material, which if 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 checks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer,
you are told to drink every morning
upon arising, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it, which is harmless
means of washing the waste mate
rial and toxins from the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels, thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract, before
putting more food into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,

acid stomach or constipation should
begin this phosphated hot water
drinking and are assured of very
pronounced results in one or two
weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to dem
onstrate that just as soap and hot
water cleanses, puriies and freshens
the skin on the outside, so hot wat
er and limestone phosphate act on
the inside organs. We must always
consider that internal sanitation is
vastly more important than outside
cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.

II ACH day my mail is weighted
T. down with letters which. after
reading. always leave me with
heartache and a desire to gather
the poor. unhappy little writers under
my wing like Mother Carey's chick
ems. I am speaking of the letters
written to me by the young girls
who have had bitter experiences in
the moving-picture studios. or girls
pent up in some store or unhappy
home eager to get into the whirlpool
of our life and become part of it.
What prompts them to do this
often is because of their friends as
surance: "You are much prettier
that Mary Pickford and here you are
shaving for $I8 a week. Look at the
money she is making"
By return mail l advise her: "Your
photograph is beautiful and do not
know when l have seen lovlier eyes.
But-are you an actress? Do you
believe if you were called upon the
stage to portray characters from the
comedy and drama of life you could
do it? Be sure of yourself, for so
much suffering has been the result
of ill-advised girls"
I was in a store one day when a
very pretty girl behind the counter
leaned over and asked me, Pardon
me, but aren't you the Mary Pick
ford of the movies?"
1 smiled at her, though the word
movies" always sends little shivery
quivers down my spine.
Too Good to Keep.
My smile had encouraged her to
talk. "I'm going to be movie act
ress, too," she told me. "I've already
given 'em notice here. i quit Satur-
day."
"You are very pretty" I replied,
looking at her large blue eyes and
her red gold hair. HAS some studio
made you an offer better than you
are making here"
81 should say So" And her eyes
fairly danced with excitement. Five
dollars day."
"Yes, but did they offer you a re-
tanning salary? By that l mean did
they guarantee you SO many days a
week.?
The lines about her mouth deepen
ed and ! could sense her disappoint-
ment because l had spoken of the
thorns upon the roscbush.
No." she answered reluctantly,
"they didn't say anything about that
but they did tell me girl like me
could find work anywhere"
81 would wait few weeks longer
l cautioned her. at is the best to be
sure of your landing place before you
leap"
Then 1 was called away and, turn.
Gee! She talks like an old woman
don't she? But you bet l won't lei
her influence me"
A few weeks later I went into the
store and the girl of the red-gold hail
was gone. "She's been working at Z
ing-picture studio for over Z
week." the girl who had her place
told me, "and making SO much money
she don't know what to do with it'll

Automatic Guns.
ADDRESSES ENGINEERS

Maj. Raymond w. Pullman. in address
ing the washington Society OF Engineers
at their meeting In the Cosmos Club last
night. made these interesting announce
ments:
1. The government is to have a safety
frst' exposition for one week in January
|or February.
2 He, the major. yesterday made his
first arrest since becoming srperintend-
ent of police.
3. Efforts will be made to induce the
manufacturers OF automatic arms to
print a warning. Remember the cart
ridge in the barrel" on each weapon.
4. The impact of a two-ton truck at
twelve miles an hour Is the same as an
ordinary touring car travelling at forty.
seven miles Moral: Trucks should go
slower than At present
5. Thirteenth street northwest aud some
others eventually will have to be widened
for safety's sake. The sidewalks there
are three times too wide.
Pullman Makes Arrest.
The postal car division. the United
States Bureau Of Mines. the War and
Navy departments, the Health Service
and the police and fire departments will
participate in the safety first exposi-
ton.
Regarding the making Of his first ar
rest, the major said he had just stepped

miles an hour came a Ford delivery car

That time the head of the police was
not quick enough to catch the number.
But a minute later the car returned.
having made a circle of the grounds.
Though the head Of the police depart
ment waved and shouted for the driver
to stop. he sped on. Major Pullman had.
however, secured the number. Yester-
day morning he inquired of the owner.
proprietor OF a book concern. how late
his cars were out and he was told $50 or
9 o'clock. He corrected him. The young
driver was found. and will probably be
punished.
Talks Automatic Guns.
The legal limit in Washington is
twelve miles" said Mai. Pullman, but
there are times when twelve is slow for
passenger autos and too fast for trucks
A heavy truck ought to travel not faster
than eight miles an hour. whereas on
Pennsylvania avenue. when not crowded
fourteen or even fifteen miles an hour
for touring cars Is not dangerous"
The speaker called attention to the
number OF accidents now occurring from
automatic guns and pistols. Efforts Will
be made to induce the manufacturers to
have printed In white letters on the
ejecting mechanism the words. "Remem-
Der the cartridge in the barrel" 1t Is
that remaining cartridge that u respon-
sible for most Of tbs automatic weapon
accidents, he said.
