was in itself a debauch. But they did
not stop at one or two. They drank

for me he had engaged Maud in ami

its surface nor blackened the sky with
her smoke.
Wolf Larsen at once squared away
and ran down along the rim of the fog
bank. His trick was obvious. He had
entered the fog to windward of the
steamer, and while the steamer had
blindly driven on into the fog in the
chance of catching him he had come
about and out of his shelter and was
now running down to re-enter to lee

of the needle in the haystack would be

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, Iiv-

fore breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile
TO coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or dull your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks. sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or, gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly
more important, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says well-known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before
breakfast each day, glass of hot wa.
ter with a teaspoonful Oh limestone
phosphate in it, This will cleanse,
purify and freshen the entire alimen.
tary tract before putting more food
into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from your druggist or at
the store. Ii is inexpensive and al
most tasteless, except a sourish
tinge which is not unpleasant Drink
phosphated hot water every morning
to rid your system of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons. begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
so limestone phosphate and hot water
before breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver. kidneys and bowels.-Adv.
