Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away Ill the stomach, Iiv-
er, and bowel poisons be-
fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This Is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen-
tary tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. 1t is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system Of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation OF body poisons. begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying,
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.-Adv.

FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE
People Are Beginning to Understand
That II Is Mistake to Work
Too Hard.

For a good many years we had a
creed that the only way to keep men
or women good was to work them to
death. We didn't consider ourselves
virtuous unless we ended each day so
toil-wearied that we had no ambition
for anything but bed. When we had
a holiday we didn't know how to use
it. and either slept it away or did
something that landed us in jail.
The doctors are telling us now that
there is fatigue poison; that we owe
it to ourselves not to overwork The
great labor unions are demanding
shorter hours and graded work. so that
men and women workers shall not be
overtaxed, and so that the few may
not be overworked and underpaid at
the expense of the many.
We are learning very, very gradu.
ally, that man was not created to labor
Is hours out of the "a in order that
he may have the privilege of eating
and sleeping. Very, very gradually
we are being taught that we are part
ners in Gods pasture, and that, rich
or poor. we have the right to take our
share of sunshine and fresh air and an
idle time to enjoy them.
A fair measure of leisure in each
day is necessary to cultivate sweet
ness and saneness of soul. and the
man or woman, boy or girl, so over
worked that there is no opportunity
for recreation. never reaches the high
err planes of being. Indeed, too much
work has often been as much breed
er of crime as too much idleness.
Sometimes II is a desperate effort
to escape from the grind. More often
it is an intelligent craving for excite
ment-"something different"
believe it is in one OF Aesop's
fables where we are told of the man
who was so busy grubbing in the muck
heap that he never had time to look
up and see the crown above his head.

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK "CAsCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-

breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead Of being cast out

blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-

Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
