LRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Sage we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has Of late maze
rapid strides with results that are
OF untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application Of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that
il is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation Of the drainage system Of
the human body as it is to the drains
Of the house.
Those Of us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when We
arise, splitting headache. stuffy from
q cold, foul tongue, nasty breath,
acid stomach, can, instead, feel as
fresh as a daisy by opening the
slices OF the system each morning
and flushing out the whole Of the in
ternal poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should. each morning before
breakfast. drink a glass OF real hot
water with a t~easpoonful OF limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach. liver and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour

cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
} putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of hot water and limestone
Z phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating, 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
o are enjoying sour breakfast the
phosphated hot water is quietly ex-
tracing a 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, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood diorder and sickly COM
plexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make any
one a pronounced crank on the sub
ject of internal sanitation.

REFUSED TO TAKE CHANCES
Old Gentleman Had Come to concIu'
sion That There Was Hoodoo
on His Paying Mortgage.

When Uncle George Pence, cham
MON teller of tales at the statehouse
was auditor of Bartholomew county
some years ago, an old German in tho
ueighborhood owed school-fund mort.
gage Of $50 and religiously came to the
auditors Office at each interest-paying
period TO pay the small interest.
The records showed that the old Ger
man had owed the mortgage for more
than thirty years. and he was rather
wellto-do.
One day, when he appeared TO pay
his interest, Auditor Pence asked him
why he did not pay the $50 and stop
paying interest.
The old man said he had started to
nav that mortgage three times in the
last thirty years and that each time
he had made up his mind to pay it
and had started out to do it, one of his
sons had died.
