WHEN YOU WAKE
 UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting more
 food into stomach. Says inside-bathing makes any, one look and feel clean,
 sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before treakfast like you do on the outside This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be car- lfed out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day t quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to crink, before breakfast each day. a. glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stomach or constipation are assured of pro- nounced improvem ent in both health and appearance shortly.

FRIVOLOUS CITY GIRLS
NO GOOD AS FARMERS.

LONDON. Dec. 5.-Flirty. frivol-
Gus city girls are the worlds greatest
failures as farmhands.
The pretty maidens in calico frocks
whose photos have filled the British
pictorial magazines for months are
almost useless when it comes to
actual work
This is the verdict OF the Wiltshire
War Agricultural committee which
undertook the task of training city
girls to get back to the land. The
committee closed down Its training
school at Shaw today because results
have been wholly disappointing. =
The committee has concluded that
the girls have entertained an alto
gether wrong view of farming. They
readily absorb the atmosphere OF
green fields, shady trees aud lowing
kline but when the fields get muddy;
when the sun refuses To shine and
the cows must be ''pailed," the girls
OF back. TO the soil starts to fade
when the work begins. Country
bred girls make good farmers.

shippers and farmers and others
along the river interested in the
navigation of the stream. are endeav-
oring to show the government engi-
neers that the expenditure required
to make the river nayigable will be
justified.
The government engineers have
estimated that 1t Will cost $l3.0OO.-
600 to finish this work. Private en-
gineers employed by the Chamber of
Commerce report that the work can
be done for much less than this
amount.
J. Robert Babcock, industrial
commissioner of the chamber. and

advocate of Trinity river navigation,
will present an elaborate brief, show
ing that even at cost of $4,000
