L Too Fat Get

Be Moderate in Your Diet And

Oil of KOrein.

Lack of fresh air it is said weakens
the oxygen carrying power of the blood,
the liver becomes sluggish, fat lccumu
lates and the action of many of the
vital organs are hindered thereby The
heart action becomes weak, work is an
effort and the beauty Of the figure is
destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is unhealthy
and if nature is not assisted in throw.
ing it off serious ease of obesity may
result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once Don I wait until your figure has
become a joke and your health ruined
through carrying around a burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open; breathe deeply, and
get from Central Pharmacy or any
druggist box of oil of korein
capsules; take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal Oil of korcn is alb

helps the digestion and even a few days
treatment has been reported to show a
noticeable reduction in weight,

State House Has An
OdOr All Its Own

Another sign of spring has developed
about the state house and it is not
caused by the blooming of flowers or
the perfume kissed breezes that are
waited in through the windows, from
the flower beds. The lady stenographcrs
are keeping the windows closed and
their noses elevated after every shower.
The particular reason is that the
ground keeper has literally besprinklcd
the laws with some extra strong fcrtil-
izer. 1t looks harmless enough on the
lawn but when the warm rains soak
into it, it bOils up with renewed vigor.
1t s a penetrating smeil, too, and can
not be disregarded under any circum-

that one application is all that is ncccs-

HOT WATER THE
BEST LIVER AND
BOWEL MEDICINE
Says Glass Of Hot Water Be-
fore Breakfast Washes
POisOns from System

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
OF limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means Of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire ailmentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the elm
NATIVE organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a.
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
TO bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store,
This will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to demonstrate the value Of in
side bathing. Those who continue it,
each morning are assured Of pro-
nounced results, both in regard toI
health and appearance.

ACID STOMACHS
ARE DANGEROUS
NINE-TENTHs OF ALL STOMACH
TROUBLE DUE TO ACIDITY
Says New York Physician

A New York physician wlO has made
special study 'Ot@ stomach and lntes-
tinal diseases says that nearly all in
testinal troubles, as well as many dis
eases of the vital organs are directly
traceable to a deranged condition of the
stomach. This in turn is due about nine
times out of ten to excessive acidity,
commonly termed sour stoach or heart
burn, which not only irritates and in
flames the delicate lining of the stom
ach but ny cause gastritis and danger
Gus stomach ulcers. 1T is interesting to
note that he condemns the use of pat
'ent medicines, and practically all medi-
cal treatment that is designed to act
upon the stoach mining stating that
the best results are obtained by the
use Of 4 simple antacid which acts up
on the contents Of the stomach and neu
tralizes the acidity of the food thus re-
moving the source of the trouble. As
an antacid he prescribes ordinary bis
urated magnesa. He contends that it is
as foolish to treat the stomach itself as
it would be for Il man who stepped on
a tack to rub liniment on the foot with
out first removing the tack. Remove
the tack and the foot will heal itself
neutralize the acid and the stomach
troubles will disappear. Irritating med
lcines and medical treatments are use
less, so long as the contents of tne
stomach remains acid; remove the acid
ity and there will be no need for edi-
cine-the inflamed lining of the stom-
ach will then heal itself. Sufferers
from acidity sour stomach and heart
burn should get small bottle of bis.
urated magnesia from their druggist,
and take a teaspoonful in a quarter Of
glass of hot or cold water after each
meal, repeating in fifteen minutes, if
necessary, this being the dose which
the doctor has found most efficaciOus
in all cases.
