Washington, Feb. 12.-Secretary OF

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says glass OF hot water and
phosphate prevents iIIness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
bustible material in the form of ashes,
30 the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the aiimentary canal q.
certain amount OF indigestible mate
rial, which IL not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
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 q glass of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate In it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation OF poisons and toxins
and to keep ths entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache. colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient 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

CUMM|NS RIO|CuLES WILSON
SCORES "VAciLLATiNG VIEWS"
ON PREPAREDNESS.
Iowa Senator Makes First and Only
Western Address OF Republican
Pre.convention Campaign.

st. Paul, Feb. Ex-senator A. b.
Cummins Of Iowa ridiculed President
Woodrow Wilson for what he called
his vacillating views on preparedness
and for his policies toward the Mex
lean and European situations In a
speech before the Lincoln Republican
club I'm the Saint Paul hotel. Although
he expressed himself as opposed to
the adoption OF any new policy OF pre-
paredness" until the present war In
over and it's lessons understood, the
liveiiest demonstration of the evening
came when he said: ..
"This country should 90 prepare
that II will be humanity Impossible
for hostile foot to plant itself on
tho soil Of America"
There were marked evidences OF ap-
prevail when he declared:
"No real red.blooded American
ever will turn to the page which
records the conduct OF this admin
lstration toward Mexico without
biushina. I do not charge the pres
Ident with wronadoing, but weak
ness and vaciilation are sometimes
worse than wrongdolno."
He prophesled that as a result of
the presidents weakness the United
States must intervene to furnish a
nucleus around which the remnant of
decency and liberty can gather One
sentence on vacillation was:
"on his preparedness trip, the
president began at Pittsburgh with
moderate appeal to the people to
speed up a little, 90 that In five
years we might have navy like
Germany's or Japan's. BY the time
he got to St. Louis he abandoned
every American conception, and
boldly declared the United States
should have a navy ineomparaoly
better than any nation on EARTH"
Five hundred were present, some of
them men from over the state who
have filed as Cummias delegates.
1t was the first and only western ad-
dress OF the republican pre-convention
campaign.
Walter 7. Lemon, president OF the
Lincoln Republican club, introduced
as POSTMASTER Carl w. Cummlns, who
In turn presented Senator Cummlns as
