Saturday evening, May %. He was 81
years Of age and was a remarkable man.
When it came to test of facts and dates

1t could be safely left to him for correct
answer. In his younger days he was in
California for several years. Soon after
returning, he married Miss Martha Has

Relief in Pulmonary
Or Throat Troubles

depends largely on the sufferers ability
to upbuild weakened system, and thus
hasten return of normal body functions.
In this effort much depends on fresh
air-night and day-and rest and good
food. The patient should refrain from
work that overtaXes, and all sanitary
precautions should be taken. These COM
nonsense measures do not always achieve
the desired results unless aided by proper
medication.
1t is here that Eckman's Alternative has
evidenced it's worth, for in many cases it
has effected lasting benefit. And often
such troubles seem to yield to it,
In no case is it's use attended with pos
sible harm, since it contains no poisonous
or habt-formng drugs.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says Inside-bathIng makes any.
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed,

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri -
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons. gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it..
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons. gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys ana
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro-
nounced improvement in both health

Tabloid AercpIanes.

that the smaller the aeroplane and the
faster it can fly the less danger Of it's
being hit by shots fired from earth.
So the British airmen favor an unusu-

tabloid" A very light frame is fit
ted with an S0-hOrse power motor,
which will drive the fraiI machine
through the air at the rate Of 100
miles an hour. The engine is covered
with armOr. The aviator seeking to
drop Il bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at a height of 5000 feet.
When straight above it he turns the
nose of his machine straight down and
drops at terrific speed. When within
500 feet Of the target he drops his
bombs is quickly rs possible and then
shoots skyward at a tremendous pace.
