False Standards of Hospitality

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incon-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal q
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completely climina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like pOiSOnS are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate In II to wash out OF
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of pOisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
acEe, colds, biliousnesS, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste.
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, Sassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels.

young men who will be asked to
dinner with distinct knowledge of
the social invitations she is apt to
receive in return for her mothers food
1t is as well calculated as military
campaign. You would not believe the
absurd lengths it is carried to, but
see it in my small pupils.
It's deplorable lack of home train
ing, and it is having an effect every
where. 1t is very difficult to eradicate,
the opinion once formed.
Aside from its being too world wise
for the younger members of our house
hold, isn't it something of a pity, too?
1t limits their human intercourse to
those whose standards are evidently
the same, or it takes a girl from a
home where true ideas of hospitality
have prevailed and forces her to CON
form to this hopelessly false idea or
be ostracised by her companions.
In talking this matter over with a
woman who has brillian; ideas, re-
mark was made which ! have long

Who else was there?' And today the
list of those present is one of the
first things demanded OF a small guest

simple"
We want our children to be careful
in the selection of their companions:
we want them to be distinctly aware
that hospitality they receive is some
thing to be remembered and returned
if possible, but we do not want them
to weigh with false balances.
SO let us see to it ourselves that

Every girl who has had aspirations

Maybe she has answered it in a
burst of enthusiasm. and then in due
time found it to be the bait of some
so-called school of motion picture act

If she took the course, however, she
has by now profited largely in exper-
