Hopes Women Will
Adopt This Habit
As Well As Men
Glass of hot water each MORN
Ing helps us look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous and
vivacious-a good clear skin; a nat
ural, rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by clean,
healthy blood. If only every woman
and likewise every man could realize
the wonders of the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and girls
with pasty or muddy compilations; in
stead of the multitudes of nerve
wrecks" "rundowns,' brain fags"
and pessimists we should see a virile,
optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked peo-
pie everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast. glass
of real hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it to wash

and poisons, thus cleansing, sweeten-

Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism
colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but a trifle but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark
able change in both health and appear
ance awaiting those who practice in
ternal sanitation. We must remember
that inside cleanliness is more impor

Grain Trade Awaits DEVELOPMENTS

Grain business in the Northwest is
of small volume these days. AS else
where in the country, the trade is
awaiting a settlement of the German
question before embarking upon new
commitments. With the submarine
issue out of the way, there is likely to
be fair revival of buying in the
Northwest.
There is some inquiry from the
East, but the bids are not in line with
sellers ideas. Coast demand is small.
Bradstreets estimates the visible
wheat decrease at 5, 500, 900 bushels.
The Canadian visible wheat supply
is "a, 53S, 900 bushels, against IL, 1922
900 bushels a year ago. The oats
visible is 13, 761, 900 bushels, against
5, 445, 900 bushels last year.
