Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by Illness.
IL we all would practice inside-bath:
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands OF
naf-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere The req
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which 1t accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else II ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as 1t Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast. a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in 1t, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions Of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach. nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
it's cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing effect upon the system.

HELD BY NEEDLE IN THUMB
Woman Prisoner at Sewing Machine

Baltimore. - With the needle of
a sewing machine through her left
thumb, Mrs. Mary Lamerkan, fifty, of
Valley street, was held prisoner at
her machine for half an hour She
became so faint that she was unable
to call for help for several minutes
after the accident.
The needle went through the fleshy
part of the thumb when Mrs. Lamer-
kan was seated at the machine sew
ing. A neighbor, hearing Mrs. Lamer-
kan's cries, brought Patrolman Keck
of the northeastern district to the
house.
Mrs. Lamerkan was suffering in
tense pain, because the needle was
bent and could not be removed by an
upward motion of the needle socket.
Patrolman Keck got a small steel
saw and sawed it off. A physician
removed the broken needle.
