Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out. to feel clean inside; no sour bile
to coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no consti-
patton, bilious attacks, sick headache
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid
stomach, you must battle on the inside
like you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says a wellknown physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver.
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass Of hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire ali
mentary tract, before putting more
food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound OF limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. 1t
Is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except a sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated no,
water every morning to rid your sys-
tenn Of these vile poisons and toxins !;
also to prevent their formation.
10 feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
cumulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above ALL keep it up.
AS soap and hot water act on the
skin. cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying. so limestone phosphate and hot
water before breakfast, act on the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels

The three men who are always IN 1t
are very close mouthed and give very
little satisfaction when they are asked
questions about themselves or their
boat. 1t is reported that shorty when
the thing works as it ought to, the
inventor will come out in public and
give a statement that will satisfy ev-
erybody. But up to date the queer
boat has them all guessing. 1t is
positive fact that this boat has been
seen to change its course suddenly
and unaccountably at least three
times when the three men were no.
where near the steering apparatus
and not one of them was seen to make
move that indicated that he had
any agency in making the boat SHIFT
its course from one point to another.
The three men all seem to be strang-
ers to all of the water front frequent
ers and thus far no one has succeeded
in tracking them to their lair. 1t has
been noticed that the boat moves
much more rapidly at times than it
does at other times, the inference be-
ing that when the experiments are in
progress it moves slowly, but that

supposed from his rambling talk that he
had been a papermaker in some of the

A Head Full
of Ache

There are many forms of headache,
but the sick headache is about the
worst ever. When it once fastens on
you, it lasts good while, unless you
know howrto get rid of it. Sick head
ache usually comes from the stomach
or liver. and you must help these or
gans before the head can be relieved.
A few doses of 81. F." Atwood's Med
Icine will put your stomach to rights,
regulate the bile, and act on the bow
els. As soon as good order is Sc
cured, the dizzy feeling and nagging
pain will leave your head, and soon
you will be as we'll as ever. No medi-
cine is better for sick headache or
biliousness.

A Contract In Methods.

Under the last Republican admins
tration there flowed into the U. S.
treasury each month revenue amount
ing to approximately $45.5oo.ooo. OF
this amount s22,soo.ooo consisted OF
customs revenue which, except in rare
instances, were paid by the foreign
producer, while $22.6oo.O00 was taken
from American citizens in the form of
internal taxes. Under the Wilson Ad-
ministration the receipts amount to
s53,100,000 a month, but Of this amount
only s1s,00o,o00 is paid by the for.
eigner in the form Of customs receipts.
while the balance. s34.1oo.oOo. is
wrung from American citizens in the
form Of special taxes on incomes. vo-
cations, enterprise and thrift.
Those Americans who have been
compelled to pay taxes every time
they gave a note or renewed one, to
Put special government stamps on
every telegram they sent and to pay a
special tax on every long distance
telephone message they sent will ap-
preciate the truth of the statement
that for every dollar of tax paid by
the foreigner in the form Of tariff, the
American citizen pays $1.79 in special
taxes. 1t is largely this gross mis- :
management of the public finances
which has so greatly Disguised a ma
jority of American citizens as to in
sure a Republican victory next No

Editorial Comment
His Greatest Loss.

belfast Republican Journal.)
All political considerations are elimin.
ated in the sympathy of the people Of
Maine for Senator Burleigh in the loss
he has sustained through the death OF
his wife. To her husband Mrs Burleig
was an ideal hepmate and a helpful ant
devoted companion. Through her life she
was the real center of a real American
home and her memory will be long cher
ished by those who knew her.-Biddeford

This voices the sentiments of the
many friends Of Senator Burleigh, who
before he met with this great loss had
suffered many Affections and himself
endured a severe and critical illness
from which he had only recently re-
covered.

especially for kidney complaints and
diseases arising from disorders OF the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con-

form. If not cbtainable send one dime
by mail to DR.. Pierce for trial package
or 80 cents for full treatment.
