when we come to think of the season

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In 1t before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto-intoXication-which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it cOngests in the smaller ar
teries and veins of the head produc-
ing violent, throbbins pain and dis
tress, called headache. You become
nervous, despondent, sick, feverish
and miserable, your meals sour and
almost nauseate you. Then you re.
sort to acetanilide, aspirin or the
hromides which temporarily relieve
but do not rid the blood of these irri-
tating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, drank before breakfast for awhile,
will not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of head
ache but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless, except for sourish
twinge. which is not unpleasant,
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
Indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and posons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.

Ardmore Women More Successful than

Majority of the Men.
Four ArdmOre women, Mrs. r. +.
Phillips, Mrs Frank Pierce, Mrs. Har-

bit, recently organized themselves in
to an oil lease company. They pur-
chased a tract of land in section 1928
in the Fox district. They paid So an
acre for the lease and have sold it for
1925 an acre. The profit was 1920 an
acre. After receiving the money, they
purchased the fee to the land at $50
an acre, and if it proves to be in an
oil area, they will be collecting divi-
dends from their royalty for many
years to come, Besides owning the
fee, each member of the company has
in her purse in ready cash $40 an
acre for her Part OF the land pur-
chased These women went at the
work alone. They sought no advice,
yet one of them called the name of
Denny Fitzgerald and it is barely pos
sible that that big hearted Irishman
helped them to some extent. The la.
dies are not accustomed to transacting
business, but they made a much bet
ter winning than 80 out of a hundred
men who enter the oil lease business.
