SAYS BODY IS A
POISON FACTORY
Urges everyone to drink glass OF
hot water before
breakfast

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes.
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which If not completely elirnin-
ated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste. toxins and
ptomain-like' poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation.
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have n sour gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little. but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb inn
purities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin. so
hot water and limestone phosphate act
on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels. Acknowledgement

REMEDY FOR NEURAsTHENIA.

Neurasthenia is condition of exhaus.
ton OF the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental
or physical, without proper vacation
periods, without proper attention to
diet and exercise, also worry over the
struggle for success, are the most com.
mon causes. Excesses of almost an,
kind may produce it. Some diseases,
like the grip, will cause neurasthenia.
30 also will a severe shock, intense
anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are oversensitivene...
1rrltability, disposition to worry over
TRIES, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one Of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcs-
holic tonic. AS the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards build-
ing up the blood. DIR. Williams Pfnlz
Pills act directly on the blood and have
proved of the greatest benefit in many
cases OF neurasthenia. A tendency to
anemla, or bloodlessness, shown BY
most neurasthenic patients, is also cor.
rccted by these tonic pills.

'All the details that we had plan

time permitted for preparation, to
have such a turnout of maskers as
will make the old home town sit UP

an open-air dance on the southwest

IGNORANCE IS
HEALTH DANGER
Commissioner Dixon Points
Out the Way in Which Boast
ing Causes Harm

State Commissioner of Health Dixon
in one of his statements on health
ana sanitation calls attention to the
manner In which the ignorant boaster
often causes much harm, The com
missioner remarks that there is al
ways grave danger in not taking pre-
cautions, but says that the man who
says ne VIII not do a thing because his
father did not is danger.
Dr. Dixon says:
The boastfulness of ignorance is
ordinarily not worthy of comment. but
When 1t jeopardizes the health of other
people 1t is perhaps worth while to
take up the cudges
There is class of individuals who
pom moo all warnings regarding mat
ters OF hygiene and usually end their
assertions by informing you that their
grandfathers never paid any attention
TO such nonsense and. what's more,
they never have. and here they are
alive and we'll to show for it. Statis-
ucs. however, show that these people
who violate the laws of Nature often
meet an untimely DEATH. Unfortu-
nately, some give an ear to such foolish
boasting and run headlong into
danger.
The transmission of disease by
germs is most frequently attacked by
the ignorant. Those people who ac-
cept without comment the statement
thar the world revolves upon it's axis
as part of the solar system and thou
sands of other things which they are
incompetent to work out for them
selves will bluster about the absurdity
of germs causing disease. That typhoid
fever. diphtheria, yellow fever, tuber-
culosis, anthrax, malaria and pneu-
monia are caused by germs has been
proved just as definitely as the fact
that the world is round.
fortunately. exposure to disease,
even of communicable type, does not
always mean that the individual so ex-
posed Will contract 1t. This is the rea-
son that the boaster
May boast and stay
And live to boast another day"

Their mtngling dust no anger knows;
No strife disturbs their long repose.
Ye say that Time brought many wars ?
Nay, babe he many wars to cease.
Nor bloody strife his visage mars,
But labor in the ways of peace,
For all the hosts of martial birth
He buries IN the kindly earth

But ere the night ia come the peace

Bids every foolish quarrel cease
Ere yet its evening sun we see
Depart unto the world to be

Serenely smiled upon the world:
A thousand wars have ravaged by,
A Thousand battle flags are furled,
And still serenely smiles the light
OF virgin day and starry night.
A thousand quarTels jangle forth,
For thus we waste our feeble
breath,
Nor think how little shall be worth
A thousand quarrels hushed in

marked to be accidental
In one Of the most recent works on

Is well known fact that alcohol even

PAY OF THE NATIONAL GUARD.

In view OF the fact that a large

by the allies themselves.
II is said that the manufacture Of
the munitions will consume nearly a

OF men steady employment during that

His idea Is to have the turtles at

life saving devices. When the ship
goes down. the turtles will swim
around on top of the water, carrying
as many as dozen passengers on
their back, until they are rescued.
