WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the polsons and TOXINS from
system before putting moro
food Into stomach.
Says insIde.bathlna makes any.
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce Of waste material must be
ncarried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it,
which is harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire ailmentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with a dull, aching head or
have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro-
nounced improvement in both health
and appearance shortly.

"It Put Me Back to
Work" Says Sam Logan
Enola Man Too Weak Even For Berry
Picking so Benefited by Tanlac
He Is Now Able to Work
Once More

II was so weakened by kidney
trouble" says Sam Logan, of Enola
Pa, that l was out of work for four
months and not able to do a tap.
II tried to pick up a few dollars
now and then by picking huckleberries
but even such light work as that tired
me out and made my back ache so
that / felt as If l would never be able
to straighten out again.
II kept getting worse and worse and
I was so miserable and respondent
that I was good for nothing and I
feared that / would never be able to
do days work or earn dollar again
Il was almost at the end of my rope
when l read about Tanlac where it
told how it had benefited another
whose condition was similar to mine
and l saw where it was being sold in
Harrisburg. ! made up my mind to
try it and got bottle.
You can imagine my joy when 1
found that l began to feel better right
away. The pains in my back left me
and my whole system seemed to sort
of spruce up. And to look at me now
you would never know that 1 had a
sick day in my life.
'I am doing the hardest kind of
work now on the gas main that we
day without any trouble I certainly
am grateful to Tanlac and 1 advise
every sufferer to take it.
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic. is now being specially intro
duced in Harrisburg at Gorgas, the
druggist, where the Tanlac man is
demonstrating the wonderful proper
ties of this master medicine to daily
increasing crowds.

Urge Chicago Housewives
to Aid in Detecting if
Bread Is Short in Weight

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Housewives of
Chicago were to-day urged to weigh
the bread they buy, and to assist the
City Department of Weights and
Measures in watching local bakers for
violations of the antitrust laws and
the ordinances against short weights.
The request came from William F.
Cluett in charge of this part of the
departments work, who announced
that he would have corps of inspec-
tors scattered over Chicago to-day to
test the weights of loaves..
The announcement by a leading
baking concern Saturday that for sew
eral days it had been cutting down
the weight of its five-cent loaf of
bread was responsible for Mr.. Cluett's
message to Chicago housewives and
his determination to learn for him.
self whether consumers were receiv-
ing what they paid for.
The United States district attorney,
the States attorney and the Chicago
City Council have already started in
vestigations into the bakery situation.

COL. ]. G. BOBB
DIES in CHURCH
Carlisle Civil War Veteran and
National Guardsman Stricken
While Speaking of Mother
Social TO the Telegraph

Carlisle, Pa, Sept. 11.-Lieutenant-
Colonel John G. Bobb. prominent
national guardsman and Civil War vet
eran, died here to-day while speak
ing before a Sunday school association
in the First Lutheran Church He was
73 years old.
Colonel Bobb took as the theme of
his address the parting of the Apostle
Paul from his friend as typical OF the
separation which comes to ALL Re
calling his leaves of absence in the
Civil War, he tenderly alluded to the
affecting farewell from his aged
mother, to whom his last utterances
were the words "Good-by.' As the
words fell from the colonels lips in
pathetic tone and cadence his head
sunk on his breast, But for timely
aid he would have fallen.
Before the sympathetic audience
could recover itself Colonel Bobb had
died on his feet, actually, from a
broken heart, as was subsequently
learned. He was 72 years old and was
we'll known in Masonic and National
Guard circles. For many years the
firm of Woodward & Bobb. in which
he was a partner, was prominent
among grain dealers.
