BEFORE BREAKFAST.
says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with tesults that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The
latest application of its untiring re-
search Is the recommendation that it
is as necessary to attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system OF
the human body as it is to the drains
of the house.
Those. of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh
as daisy by opening the sluicesl OF
the system each morning and flushing
out the whole OF the internal poison
Gus stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful OF lime
stone phosphate in it to wash, from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach. The
action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully inyigorating. 1t cleanses
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
phosphated hot water is quietly ex-.
tracing large volume Of water from
the blood and getting ready for
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs. we
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach, trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who. have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly COM
plexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
a pronounced crank on the subject Of

Lowe showed signs of mental pertur-

Variety Of Tactics.
Meeker, who had been through the
mill in the house of representatives,
showed himself a master of every
point of the game. What he lacked in
brute strength he made up in skill.
The mill was interesting because the
contestants showed such variety OF
tactics. When Lowe suffered blow
upon his mental processes he looked
serious; when Meeker was given a
right-arm jab over his accelerator he
smiled and rolled his eyes, as if call
ing more.
During the second round, when
Lowe was in distress, some OF the
members of the Methodist church Of
fered to help him out, whereupon the
referee exclaimed in lusty tones, "Re-
member each is amply able to take
care OF himself" Then the Metho-
dists returned to their seats and the
match was resumed.
In the third round Meeker offered
to make a side bet of $40 that Lowe
could not tap him on the head. Lowe
spurned the challenge.

of the Methodists. ..

HOW AFFAIR PROCEEDED

Rev. Titus Lowe, champion theo-
logical boxer OF the middle west, and
Congressman Jacob E. Meekcr, cham
pion mitt mixer OF St. Louis, put on a
recherche four-round go at the Audi
forum Tuesday night before an inter
ested and excited audience of 5000
tans. The principals weighed in at
the ringsidc and both were in the pink
Of condition. Referee John L. Web
ster was not permitted to render a
decision and announceds the match
was a draw, although there were d.
vergent opinions among the audience
as to who won the bloodless battle.
Lowe was seconded by Fred Wead
and Elmer Thomas, while Rector T.
J. Mackay Of All Saints church, occu-
pied Meeker's corner
Rules Of the Match.
At the beginning Of the melee Ref
cree Webster announced the terms of
the match, explaining that the first
and second rounds would be forty
five minutes each and the third and
fourth rounds OF fifteen minutes each.
He added that Lowe and Meeker
would not need any assistance from
the audience and that order would be
insisted upon. The referee further ex-
planned that there would be no fight
ing in the cinches and that kicking
in the shins was barred. Warning
the principals against unrestrained ac-
tivities, the referee turned them loose
into the arena.
The crowd cheered its favorites lus-
tily and urged them on to the work.
A large American flag offered an in
spring background for the pitiless
publicity which the warriors inflicted
upon each other.
Lowe Trains Hard. w
Lowe came up smiling and an elder
ly woman offered to pass him a bou-
quet of forget-me-nots. He explained
that he had been in training in the
steel mills OF Pennsylvania and a
wholesale grocery house OF the west
juggling barrels of sugar and sacks
Of beans in the latter place, and was
ready to challenge any aspirants for
the belt. In the preliniinaries he
showed considerable endurance and
took all sorts OF punishment, but he
lacked the agility and finesse Of his
more experienced adversary. When
the bell tapped at the close OF the sec
ond round the ministerial favorite was
rather groggy, while the betting on

and let the principals do the chatting.
Several members of the crowd
Kissed Meeker when he made face
at Lowe and this prompted the St.
Louis favorite son to remark that
there are two kinds of Kisses, namely,
