day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mater
ial, which if not completely eliminated
from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
accumulation of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary ca
nal clean pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache. colds biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache. rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make any one

Joy nothing more than the task of
taking Juarez with a company of To-
peka high school boys.

Tempe News Notes
MUSICALE
At NORMAL TONIGHT

Tonight at the Normal School
Auditorium is to occur what will
prove the leading musicale of the
year. Local and Phoenix talent have
combined to afford Tempe citizens
real evening of thorough musical en-
tertainment. Either one of the two
parts of which the lengthy program
is made up is well worth the ad-
mission price. The first is gener-
ously contributed to by the Redewill
family of Phoenix whose extensive
and varied repertoire is well known
and always is a drawing card. This
part consists of vocal, violin, clari-
net, piano, and victrola solos and
duets. Part two will be a rendition
of the cantata by Paul Bliss given
by the Ladies Glee Club under the
direction of Professor Johnston and
the programs afford the audience a
running analysis of the theme of
both the music and the words of the
author which is nothing more than
its name infers, "A Midsumer Night"

schools competing and naturally the
more pupils to the school the more
there are from whom to select the
best in every line. Hence Mesa was
at disadvantage as against the larg
er towns and had a corresponding ad-
vantage over the smaller Howbeit the
meet is over and the sixty young
folks who went are loud in their ac-
claim of Tucson hospitality and the
