Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

/ Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a 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 is not completely elm
mated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions Of bacter-
ia which infest the bowels From
this mass Of leftover waste, toxins
and ptomainlike poisons are formed
and sucked into the blood
Men ana women who can't get feel
ing right must begin TO take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass Of real hot
water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out Of
the thirty feet Of bowels tnr 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,
oufl breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store and begin prac-
ticing 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
impurities 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 stomaeh, liver, kidneys and
bowels.

MAY MOVE SUNDAY
SCHOOL OFFICES
Headquarters of State Organization
May be Transferred TO Char
lesion.

. There is a possibility that the State
Sunday schoo ! headquarters which
have been located in Wheeling for
number Of years, may be moved to an
other city within the next few months
according TO a prominent Sunday
school worker. 1t is said that the
southern end of the state feels that
Wheeling is too far north and Char
lesion or some other city near the cen
ter Of the state should have the head
quarters.
The office was located in Wheeling
principally for the reason that the
southern end of the state was prac.
tically unorganized a few years ago.
However, a change has been brought
about in Sunday school work and
much activity is in evidence among
the southern counties. The state of
ficials have considered the advisable
ity of making the change for the past
couple of years or more, but on each
occasion it was decided to retain the
office in Wheeling.
