Measures Arc .GuSt.

The Republicans have ar over

session what they think IL best for
the state. In view OF that Tact,it is
certainly 4 bra2.n Assumption on the

nothing III Ills message to that body
that should not obtain. An honest
people such as West Virginia gener-
ally has. must all agree that he asks
for nothing except what is for the
best public welfare. TO oppose those
measures, therefore. is either to lot
.partisanship rake the place of reason
and right. or to snow cowardice to-

To see the tinge OF healthy bloom
in your face. to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact, to
feel your best, day in and day out,
just try inside-bathing every morning
for one week.
Before breakfast each day drink a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means Of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone on an empty
stomach is wonderfully invigorating.
1t cleans out all the sour fermenta-
lions, gases and acidity and gives one
a splendid appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate will cost very little at the drug
store, but it is sufficient to demon
strate that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, so hot water and limestone phos-
phate act on the blood and internal
organs. Those who are subject to
constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, rheumatic twinges, also
those whose skin Is salIow and COM
plexion pallid, are assured that one
week of inside-bathing will have them
both looking and feeling better in
every way.
