Hopes Women Will
Adopt This Habit
As Well As Men
olass Of hot water each morn
Ina helps W look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, aiert-vtgorous and
vivacious-a good clear skin; nat
ural, rosy complexion aud freedom
from illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. II only every
woman and likewise every man could
realize the wonders OF the morning
inside bath, what a gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly.
anaemic-loohng men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the Ilultitudes OF
nerve wrecks" "r,ls.owns," brain
Tags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng Of rosy
checked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, q
glass Of real hot water with tea,
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid.
neys and ten yards Of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestfble waste, souI
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshenine
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism
colds and particularly those who
have a pallid, sallow complexion and
who are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain quarter pound Of
lines tone phosphate at the drug store
which will cost but trifle but is suf
ficient to demonstrate the quick
and remarkable change in both health
and appearance awaiting those who
practice internal sanitation. We must
remember that inside cleanliness |:
more important than outside, be
cause the skin does not absorb i'm
purities to contaminate the blood
while the pores in the thirty feet O
bowels do.

NAPKIN AN OLD
INSTITUTION
Has Been Used by Polite Society fo'
Centuries-Priee Of Article
10 Going Up.

Like everything else worth having.
it would seem, the price of napkins Is
announced to be going up. Which
Immediately brings up the question,
are napkins necessary to even the
politest table?
AS a matter Of history, napkins
were of even more Importance in
ancient and medieval times than at
present. AS forks did not come into
general use until the seventeenth CEN
fury, it was kinder for the hard-work-
ing fingers to have something on
which to wipe themselves. The
Roman patrician and the medieval
lord were always lavish with table
linen. The Augustan fashionables,
for instance, made the fancy scallops
of their hand towels a matter OF
pride. Kleptomaniac guests had much
to tempt them. Hermogenes, we are
told. was SO well known for his pro-
clivities that when he arrived at
banquet his host had wisely gathered
away the napkins before even the
first course was served. Whereupon
Hermogenes revenged himself by run
ming of with the whole tablecloth.
| The English have always, from
Anglo-Saxon days, been great stick
lers for napkins. At medieval ban.
uuets ewers Of water, basins and
napkins were set before each guest
at the end of each course. 1t was
only after the invention of the fork
that this nice particularly became
unnecessary. Ben Jonson celebrates
the release from linen when he
speaks Of
''the laudable use Of forks
Brought into custom here as they are
in Italy
To the sparing of napkins"
Forks, too, had not been long in use
before they began to be filched from

dinner napkins into as many as twen-
ty-six different forms. There Is a
