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 practive inside-bath-
ing. what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, manufacturing 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. Forevery ounce
OF food and drink taken into the system
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, whether
sick or well, are advised 10 drink each
morning, before breakfast a glass OF
real hot water with a teaspoonful OF
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means Of washing out Of the
stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste. sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing. sweeten- /
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions Of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks. acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, /
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing effect upon the system.

HOW GOODS ARE SOLD.

The principles upon which store
must build to get and retain patronage
were set forth in the address by Rob-
ert H. Durbin, advertising manager of
EStrawbridge and Clothier, to the retail
advertisers department of the adyer-
Using convention. He said in part:
Reduced to simplest terms, adver-
Using means to give notice, to apprise,
to convey information When l was a
small boy man would occasionally
tramp up and down the village ringing
a bell to notify the populace that an
auction of household goods was about
to begin. Should I hear the bell at
this minute, after thirty-fve years, l
would rush out to inquire, who is 60
ing to have a sale? Another bell,
sounding different note, told my
mother that the scissors grinder was
in the vicinity, and still another kind
of tinkle indicated the passing of a
peripatic mechanic willing to put
new rib in that old umbrella. Modern
retail advertising must, however, go
far beyond these primitive means of
notification Advertising, to be in the
highest degree successful, must be re-
garded as part of the stores service
to the public, and it must be written
with the sincere conviction that its
benefits to the customer are equal to
its benefits to the store.
The intelligent and persistent
reading of advertising should pay the
consumer just as the intelligent and
persistent writing of advertising
should pay the merchant
Department store advertising is, as
a rule, written with view to bringing
results. You advertise GER
tain articles this evening, and you ex-
pect customers to ask for them tomor-
row. That doesn't mean that you ex-
pect in every case to sell enough of the
particular thing described to pay for
the space on a 2 IL or 8 per cent. basis
Of expenditure. But you do expect
that department to sell more merchan-
disc than it would have sold without
that advertising"

Candidate Hugh NJ, Dorsey de-
nounces some of the state press, ac-
cording to reports Of his speech in the

One charge is the distortion of news

Who does he mean?
Who is the most grievous actor un-

Who is it that is doing something
with their news columns that they

|AUSTRIANS HAD The.
IMOLfETTA YARDS AS.
THEIR Big TARGET.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Aug. 49,
Molfetta, the seaport of Italy which
was shelled by Austrian torpedo boats
recently, is the subject of the follow
ing war geography bulletin issued by
the National Geographic Society from
its Washington headquarters:
"The shipbuilding yards of Molfetta
were probably the chief targets of the
Austrian navy during the recent bonn
bardment. While the town presents a
striking appearance from the sea, its
walls, studded with towers, are of a
| former age when such defenses were
effective against pillaging of free
hooters and adventures.
with population of more than 49,.
900, Molfetta is one of the thriving
commercial centers of the southeastern
coast Of Italy. In addition to its trade
as seaport. the city has numerous
manufacturing establishments, pro-
ddcing -four, soaps, wines, bricks and
vermicelh. Sixteen miles by rail to the
southeast is the important town of
Bari (the Barium of the aneients).
Evidence of neolithic settlement
have been found in the vicinitl of Mol
fetta, but the origin of the present
town is uncertain. 1t began to figure
in European history during the six
teenth century when Charles V bestow-
ed it upon the Duke OF Termoli. No
sooner had it passed into the possess
sion Of its new master than the ILL
starred Marshal of France. odet de
Folk Lautree, descended upon it and
sacked it in the prosecution of his
campaign against the kongdom OF
Naples. Lautrec, though a gallant sol
der, owed his advancement in the
service of the French king. Francis I,
not in his prowess in arms but to the
fact that the charms OF his sister,
FRANCHISE de Chateaubriant, had fasci-
mated his sovereign. He died in Italy a
victim Of the plague which decimated
his army shortly after the sacking Of
sroIfetta.
-MoIfetta was one Of the cities Of
Southern Italy in which serious dis
-arbances occurred in May 1898, when
here was sudden increase in the
price Of bread
The most picturesque building in
he medieval section Of MoIfetta is the
which like the cathedral in
he neighboring Bari has the unusual
..ature Of tTo towers. both attached to
the east end These campaniles are Of
plain masonry, the stories being sug-
gested by blind arches and windows.

yina is directly across the Adrfatic /
