Get the Habit Of

these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers If men ana

Of the previous days waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over IN
the body which, if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not set feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain a quarter pound of limestone

keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to make anyone a real
crank on the subject of internal SAM

Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing. sweetening and

and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. 1t is vast.

skin pores do not absorb impurities in

Kansas City-Cattle Also Estab-
lish New Record

Kansas City Stock Yards, March

Colorado fed sheep today topped

paid for offerings at the Kansas
City, Mo, market. About 5000
lambs sold at S11 .35. highest price
ever paid here. Other sales rang
ed from $lO.S5 to Sl1. %. some
medium ewes at So, feeding lambs
recently at $1,000, bought for
shearing. Prices are steadily
working upward, and the end is
not yet.
Colorado established another
record at the Kansas City market
today when $4,000 Colorado cattle
were received. The shipment was
largely from Rocky Ford and the
Arkansas Valley section and is
said to be the largest ever received.
About 60 cars of Colorado pulp
and hay fed steers were sold, most
ly at So. 80 to $9.1O, some at $s.25,
COWS in the shipments at $3.50 to
SO.
In the hog alleys it was a battle
for lower prices, with some sue
cess in the late sales. Early sales
of light and medium hogs at SO. .35

ened, late sales as much as 10 low
er in some cases, top $3.50, bulk
1920 to $9.45. Receipts were
10000 head, and total at Western
markets was less than a week ago,
but the selling end of packing
house departments is demanding
lower costs. Order buyers are
still getting heavy orders from
Eastern killers, taking 30 percent
of all the hogs received here last
week, a condition favoring sellers
which nullifies most of the bear
efforts of packers.

afterward falling unconscious upon the

that no bones had been broken and the
chief injuries sustained were severe

John Jackson, premier twirler of the

the heaving for the st. Joseph club in
the Western league during the coming
