SAYS HOT WATER
EACH DAY KEEPS
THE DOCTOR AWAY
Drink glass of hot water before
breakfast to wash out
the poisons.

Life IS not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well. work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.

duh and heavy when they arise, split

tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach.

each morning and flushing out the
whole of the, internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick OF
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous day s indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and siekly compilations are
urged to get quarter pound of lime.

ficient to make anyone pronounced
crank on the subject of internal sani-
itation.

The league coaches worked from the
first on the theory that if Il swimmer

speed must come as a natural conse-
quence, and they aimed solely at de-
veloping Miss Galligan's style She has
not once had time trial; she has
never been allowed to practice at top
speed, and nearly all her training has
been done at moderate pace over mid
die distance courses.
Strange rs it may seem. this odd
system has not only enabled her to
smash to pieces every national record
from 800 yards upward, but also
brought down her 100 yard time by
nearly twenty seconds. to within half

Monday was truly a gala day for res

terminal by throng of passengers
with twenty automobiles on trip to
Seattle via Des Moines. Ali the ap-
pointments of the boat were thoroly
inspected by the happy throng and pro-
nounced satisfactory. At Dcs Moinos
the citizens extended a glad hand and
swelled the procession to double the
number from the Islands. With the
blowing of horns, waving OF hats,
and a din that must have put the ''Se-
attic spirit to shame, the crowd drew
up to the Good Eats cafe where the
celebration was prolonged until the in
ner man was satisfied. Then "a feast
OF reason and flow of SOUL occupied
the time until the hour arrived for the
return trip. The guests of honor were
the county commissioners. each of

dock are where they were badly want

Mr.. Commissioner, don't forget that
the dock was condemned year ago,
and while few planks as a temporary
remedy are acceptable, reconstructed,
also larger, dock is necessity, owing
to the increased traffic at this point.
A little attention toour roads also at
this time would be acceptable, as they
are developing an attack of rutitis, and
little gravel judiciously applied to
the bad spots would effect a cure.
