MOTHERS REMEDY
FOR BRUISES
Children's Bumps, Sprains and
Minor Hurts Quickly, Relieved
by Sloan's Liniment.

1t is the very nature of children to
hurt themselves-to corle crying to
mothers with little fingers bruised
with heads bumped, with sprained
ankles and wrists.
They are painful hurts, too. But
their pain and sting can't survive the
gentle use of this liniment. A single
application of Sloan's Liniment and
the little fellows bravely kept back
tears give way to smiles. His hurt is
relieved
In every home where there are chill
dren a bottle of Sloan's Liniment is a
necessity.
Aching muscles, rheumatism, lum-
bago, stiff neck. backache, chilblains,
Sloan's Liniment. Cleaner than mus
sy ointments or plasters.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained at
all drug stores, 25c, SOC and 7sc.

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. deSpondout. wor-
ried: some days headachy, duh aud I'M
strung; some days really inCapacitated
by illness.
II 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 il ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as II 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 TO drink each
morning before breakfast. a glass OF
real hot water with a tesspoonful OF
limestone phosphate in II, 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 slimen-
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-bRth. 4 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.-Adv.

RUSSIANS REPORT
CAPTURING TOWN

London, Jan. s, 1926 g. m.-The
Russian offensive still occupies the
most important place in the news of
the war, with the capture of Czarto-
rysk as the latest accomplishment re-
ported. The Russians claim full pos
session of the village, but the Aus
trians denied they have advanced any
further than the cemetery.
The Austrians apparently are fight
ing desperately in this region in the
effort to hold their positions as
screen for Kovel and a link between
the Austro-German armies in Galicia
and those further north in the neigh
borhood of Pinsk, which is threatened
with development as result Of the
Russian advance.
