WOMEN SHOULD
GET THIS HABIT
AS WELL AS men
Don't eat bite of break
fast until you drink
glass of hot water.

Happy. bright, Advantageous, and
vivacious-a good clear skin; a nat
ural. rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. If only every
woman and likewise every man could
realize the wonders of the morning
inside bath. what gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands Of sickly,
looking men. women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the mutitudes of
nerve wrecks" "rundowns." brain
flags" and pessimists we should see
a viriie, optimistic throng Of rosy
checked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards Of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache
biliousness, nasty breath, rheuma-
tisrn., colds: and particularly. those
who have a pallid, sallow complexion
and who are constipated very often
are urged to obtain a quarter pound
of limestone phosphate at the, drug
store which will cost but trifle but
is sufficient to demonstrate the quick
and remarkable change in both health
and appearance awaiting those who
practice internal sanitation. We must
remember that inside cleanliness is
more important than outside, because
the skin does not absorb impurities
to contaminate the blood, while the
pores in the thirty feet Of bowels do.

estimable citizen, one who had the
respect and admiration of the commun-

and Belfast has since been his home.
Following two terms as county sheriff,
Mr. Carleton served as postmaster Of

a visit to winterport that he was taken
i'll with pneumonia and from the first
there has been little or no hope for his
recovery. He was devoted to his wife
and two daughters, Misses Marjorie
and Ida and their home life was ideal.
1t is rarely that the community is 90
