Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom.
bustible material in the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which II not completely eliminat-
ed from the system 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 feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet Of bowels the previous days
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness. constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stif.
ness. or have sour. gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper. and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is sufR-
Gent to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing. be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health. while the bowel pores Dc.

sweetens and freshens the skin. SO
hote water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver kidneys and

FISH THAT TRAVEL ON LAND
Minnows Cut or by Retreatino Tide
Can Flop to Their Native
Element

That certain species Of fish are Gble
actually to mop over the land is the
remarkable discovery Of Johns Hop
kins professor. according to Popular
Science.
In the course If his Investigations
the professor noticed that such isA
as minnows are often found In the lit
tie temporary pools that are left In
the sand by the retreating tide. II the
minnows are so unwary as to be-
caught when the entrance is blocked!
they actually leave the water and Cop
over the land to the sea. The profess
sor has often seen scores and scores
of these fish leave large pools aud
travel over sand bars more thaa
twelve feet wide ana half foot high.
A remarkable feature about this
discovery is that the fish never take
the wrong direction for any great dis
lance. When 6sh travel on land. the pre-
lessor asserts, they spring like snakes
or kangaroos by sudden bends of the
body. Although in its fall the fish
may find its head turned the wrong
way. it nevertheless makes its next
leap in the proper direction.
These researches raise the question:
Is there some mental machinery at
work in the tissues Of fish. which mag
be instinct, which may be sense, and
which may be something allied to
memory?

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change Of Food Works Wonders.

Wrong food and drink cause lot Of
trouble in this world. To change Is
first aid when person is Ill. particu-
larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. As an illustrations: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving on coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until was IN
most of the time. About four years
ago I left on coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along. but was 30 re-
duced In flesh and so nervouc that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts In addition to
Postum. I lived on these two prtnci-
pally for about four months. Day BIZ

til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. l feel that owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled. for . long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally prevailed upon
him to leave OF coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
q few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name

Potash fertilizers seem to give pro-

field strongly fortified with kainit

frosts. those on lightly fertilized area
