Whether a printing ring exists in AL

which came up in court her- today.
The suit was brought by A. j. BOWL
ing. former inspector of printing in
the now defunct state department Of
efficiency and economy, AGAINST
Charles NJ Winchester, head of the
J. B. Lyon Printing company, of Al
bany, which does the bulk of the

Mr.. Winchester used the word "black

him. In his answer Mr. Winchester
admits that he made the remark
"What are you trying to do-black-
mail me?' but his attorney contends
that this cannot be construed as SLAM

Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vlous days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form Of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs certain amount Of
lndlgestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
Ii you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your checks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, YOU
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
1T, which is a harmless means of wash
lngs the waste material and toxins
from the the stomach, liver kidneys
and bowels, thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying The entire aliment-
airy tract, before putting more food
into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid com
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are. bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
OF constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are as
sured Of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at he drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. we must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.-Advt
