SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In 1t,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiodle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
II you set headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with bad taste, fur
red tongue, nasty breath or stomach
become rancid. it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion. watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
much abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release he dammed-up body
waste. bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous. salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
1t accumulates in the tissues, also at
tacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
Well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, glass of hot water
with 4 teaspoonful' of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because it
can not salivate. for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards, It
is inexpensive and almost tasteless
ana any pharmacist will sell you
quarter pound, which is sufficient for
a demonstration of how hot water and
limestone phosphate cleans, stimu-
lates and freshens the liver, keeping
you feeling fit day in and day out.

ERADICATION OF CORN SMUT
Only Method 10 to Cut or smutty
Stalks and Burn Them-No
Treatment Of Seed.

(By o. M. ALLYN. Illinois Experiment
Station.)
There is no treatment Of seed corn
for smut. The spores which cause
smut in corn live over from one year
until the next in manure, soil. refuse.
etc. In the summer, under favorable
conditions these spores which may
have wintered in the soil or may have
been hauled to the field in the manure,
find lodgment on the tender parts Of
the corn plant, usually by the action
OF the wind. and start to grow.
The source Of the spore is not the
seed corn, therefore, treatment will
do no good. The only method Of Grad
ication is to cut of the smutty stalks
and burn them. This, of course, IL i'm
practical.
