Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn

viOus days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount Of incOmbustible material
in the form Of ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave in the all
mentary organs a certain amount CT
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourlshment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass Of hot water with a
teaspoonful Of limestone phosphate IN

that just as soap and not Natel

The Floating Trap

"Thank heaven, nobody knows of
your escapade," Pierpont Stafford was
just saying to his daughter Gloria.
She had declined to be frightened by
his scowl and had almost won him to
a smile across his breakfast coffee cup
when his eyes fell on the headlines
of the morning paper. He nearly went
over backward The butler, who was
stealing a glimpse of the headlines
over his masters shoulder, nearly
went over forward.
Pierpont threw the paper down in a
rage. Gloria picked it up, and what
she read eased her mischievouS smile
with one whisk. This is what she

PierpOnt stared at her, then took

William H. Taft, today described WIS.,
count Ishii's pledge that Japan will
hold the door open to China.
Judge Taft so expressed himself in a

sensitive alarm over the purpose of
Japan in the far east. It manifested
spirit of friendship to the United
states and pledge to maintain and
preserve China from spoilation, which
was most reassuring.
vt should be said with respect to
the course that Japan had pursued to-
ward thesUnited States that her states
men have been most careful sacredly
to observe every obligation entered
into with US by that power.
Japan has kept her original gentle

States in 1906 and renewed in 1911, at
the time OF the new treaty between the
United States and Japan-and has
kept it like a gentleman.
The speech of the viscount was most

tenance of the friendship between our
two countries"
Judge Taft added that he had been
familiar with the relations with Japan
for good many years" in declaring

Years have seemed but FIVE. Enough
has been accomplished to cheer the
