Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass Of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices OF the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The ac-
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting 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 both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallOw skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any store that handles
drugs which will cost very little, but

new CHAIRMAN OF
NATL COMMITTEE
GOOD MANAGER
Vance Mccormick, Wealthy
Editor and Bachelor,
Close to Moose.

Vance G. Mccormick of Pennsyl-
vania, wealthy progressive Democrat,
owner of the Harrisburg Patriot and
chairman of the Democratic national
committee by request of President
Wilson, bears the distinction of hav-
ing had former President Roosevelt
stump the state Of Pennsylvania for
him when Mr.. Mccormick was the
Democratic candidate for governor
two years ago.
Mr. Mccormick belongs to an arts
tocratic Pennsylvania family, his
mother being a Cameron and a near
senator. He is wealthy in his own
right and his family is one of the
largest, if not actually the largest,
landowners in Pennsylvania, their
holdings :aggregating upward of two
hundred farms in the best agricultur-
al section of the Keystone state.
They also own one of the best Goa.
mines in Dauphfn county, besides
electric light and other property.
The McCormciks are leaders in soci-
ETY. in Harrisburg. Mr. Mccormick
is Al years old and is unmarried.
Mr.. Mccormick is an active parti-
san of A. Mitchell Palmer, formerly
representative in congress, and four
years ago, in conjunction with Mr.
Palmer, succeeded in overthrowing
the old Democratic organization in
the state controlled by James M.
Guffey of Pittsburgh, for many years
Democratic national committeeman
for the state. The contest was on OF
the epochs in Pennsylvania politics,
especially as domination of the party
organization by the Palmer-McCor-
mick faction was accomplished by
bare majority Of one in the state
committee and under spectacular cir
cumstances.
Since 1912 this wing of the party
has been in control. 1t succeeded in
nominating Mr.. Mccormick for gov
ernor in 1914 The Progressives at
that time named Dean William Drap-
er Lewis of the University of Penn
sylvania. but several weeks before
the election Dean Lewis withdrew in
favor of Mr. Mccormick. who thus
became the candidate of the Progress
sives as well as Of the Democrats.
Mr.. Roosevelt made a campaign in
the state in behalf Of the Progressive
ticket and urged the election of MI
Mccormick as vigorously as he did
that of Clifford Pinchot, who was the
party's candidate for senator. Mr..
Mccormick. however, was defeated.
Mr. Mccormick has been mayor OF
Harrisburg. which is a strong Re-
publican city, and his friends declare
that his administration was a model
of municipal government. He has
been a warm friend Of President Will
SON since the latter came into public
life. FIe is a graduate of Yale and
several years ego defeated w. H. Taft
for trustee of that institution.
The choice of MI. Mccormick is re-
garded as a bid for the Progresslves,
who supported him in his guberna-
torial campaign in Pennsylvania two
years ago. At that time Mr.. Roose-
welt went into the state and openly
advocated the election of Mr. McCor-
mick by urging Progressives to vote
for him. He was defeated. however,
by Martin Brumbaugh, present execu-
tive. Members of the committee
would have preferred one of their
own number for chairman had the
choice been left to them alone, but
