Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode Of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
TEN nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast,
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in
it, as a harmless means of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or
at the store, but is sufn to dem
onstrate to anyone, it's cleansing,
sweetening and freshening effect upon
the system.-Adv.

Cause of Disaster Unknown.

Dispatches from Paris, transmitted
through Paris direct, and also other
dispatches, transmitted through Lon
don, did not state whether the Pro-
vence was sunk by submarine, by
a mine or was the victim of an acct
dent
Submarines are known to have been
operating in the mid-Mediterranean
for some time, the British steamer
Fastnet and a Swedish steamer hav-
ing been torpedoed in those waters
within the last few days.
The Provence sunk is believed to
be the palatial French liner of that
name, formerly in transatlantic serv-
ice. The liner Provence is now in
the admiralty service, it was stated at
the French Line office here. 1t was
said, however, the government would
not notify them in case the ship was
lost.
Noted for Its Speed.
La Provence was one OF the largest
and finest of the French line vessels.
Her gross tonnage was 1888. She
was built at ST. Nazaire in 1906, was
602 feet long, IS feet beam and So feet
deep. She was requisitioned by the
French government for naval service
at the outbreak of the war.
At the time she was launched La
Provence was the fastest transatlantic
liner ever built in France. She COW
cred her maiden voyage to New York
over the course between Havre and
Sandy Hook in 6 days 9 hours 10 min
utes, the fastest passage by several
hours which had been made between
the two points.
La Provence entered the transatlan-
tic service when the speed rivalry
among the British, French and German
lines was at it's height, and engaged
in number of exciting races, in one
OF which she defeated the Cunarder
Mauretania.
In all probability the Provence was
carrying troops either from or to Salo-
Mkt. The islands of Malta and Melos,
where survivors were landed, are 900
miles apart. Melos lies off the south
east coast of Greece. 1t is probable
that the Provence was sunk some
where between the Greek west coast
and the island of Malta
