Get the Habit of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
SAYS we can't look or feel riuht
with the system full
Of poisons.

Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. Whats an inside bath"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per-
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, Immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of intestines
of the previous days waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which, if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the
blood causing headache, bilious at
tacks, foul breath, bad taste, colds,
stomach trouble, kidney misery, sleep
lessness, impure blood and all sorts
of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to OBJ
tain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate from any druggist or store
keeper. This will cost very little but
is sufficient to make anyone a real
crank on the subject of internal sani-
tation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, SO limestone phosphate
and hot water act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. It is vast
ly more important to bathe on the in
side than on the outside, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities in
70 the blood, while the bowe, pores do.

EASTER'S MEANING
Gods Wondrous Love for His
Children, and the Greatest
of All Miracles.

IVES, it's Easter. Don't you hear the
/ bells Ginning? The very air
seems charged with enthusiasm.
Even the birds seem to chirrup a new
song, for the whole world is full Of
Joy. You smile whether you feel like
it or not, for the smile on every face
you meet challenges you to it. Sure
ly, Easter must mean much to the
world. What does it mean to you?
To some Easter means an excuse to
rival Cleopatra.
That dame of notorious name and
unsavory reputation was an adept In
suggestive dressing. With a wizards
skill she catered to the emotions Of
men, toyed with them little and then
abandoned them for a more promis.
ing subject for excitement. Mascu-
line conquest is dear to the feminine
heart, and some sweet maids seem un.
conscious Of the price they pay to win.
Compromised modesty is intoxicating
in it's appeal, the results are not un-
like in any other intoxication. Every
such occasion has it's SOLDERING time,
usually it means consciousness of loss
and shame. Oh, know that you may
not go the limit. Yet you will not
deny that others will. There will be
grand parades at fashionable resorts
and every little hamlet will try to
show itself as the best ever" If this
is all Easter means to you you surely
are in need of missionary.
To many others the day offers &C.
ceptable occasion for making gor.
mands Of themselves.
Easter eggs are the rule. Many a
husky lad will try to see how many
eggs he can eat today so that he can
brag about it the rest of the year.
here and there the physician will be
needed to relieve the egg-pain that
results from the abuse Of nature. That
fellow is less man and more beast
whose greatest glory lies in the guam.
tity Of eggs he can consume. If an oc.
casion for excused gluttOny is the
meaning you attach to Easter you, too,
are in need of a missionary.
Easter commentaries the greatest
of the worlds miracles.
It has been said to be beyond rea-
son. Probably it is beyond the rea-
soning caliber of mortal thinkers just
as it Is not common to experience.
Yet the same argument would apply
to many practical inventions that are
now common. Once they were thought
impossible, and their advocates were
scoffed at. Some have even been
slain in ages past for daring to advo-
cate daring theories. Some day, also,
the veil will be lifted from the Res
direction and men will see reason
ableness where now they see only per-
plexity. The fact is not less real be-
cause / cannot explain it any more
than complicated machine is fic-
tion because l cannot understand all
about it By applying myself l can
learn about the machine if l have
mechanical mind, by trusting the
teachings of the Master can have his
witness in my heart that what he has
taught me is true.-Pennsylvania
