Not a Bite of

Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind a certain amount Of incombustible
material in the form Of ashes, so the
food and drink taken day after day
leaves in the alimentary canal a certain
amount Of indigestible material, which
II not completely eliminated from the sys-
tenn 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 feeling
right must begin to take inside baths.
Before eating breakfast each morning
drink glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t

ons and toxins and to keep the entire

This will cost very little. but is sufficient
to make any one an enthusiast on the

Remember inside bathing is more i'm
portant than outside bathing. because
the skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, causing poor health, while
the bowel pores do. Just as soap and

That there will be an inaugural ball,

for the inauguration crowds. A special
appropriation providing for the employ
