Those subject to sick headaches,
backache. bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate from your druggist or
at the store and begin enjoying this
morning inside-bath. It is said that
men and women who try this become
enthusiastic and keep 1t up daily. 1t
is splendid health measure for it is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb inn
purities into the blood, causing dis
ease, while the bowel pores do.
The principle Of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
It. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, SO hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,

Judge Dayton for refusing to an
swer questions before the federal
grand jury, which is investigating
the alleged efforts Of German
agents to foment trouble between
this country and Mexico and to in

Stallofth was closely associated

who fed from the country under
a false passport when the federal
