WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting more
 food into stomach.
Says inside-bathing 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 carried 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 nourishm ent 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 alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 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 tc 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

 Near Anniston, Alabama, one of the trains broke down. and 50 SOL diers rushed over to the nearest Y. M. c. A., calling loudly for ham and eggs. It was rush order, but it was filled.
 What would we do without the 'Y'?" they asked with their mouths full, as they rushed back to the train.
 Several of the men on one train in the South got on with as many as four quarts of whiskey. The men said that some of the towns there had been giving the enlisted men free of charge all the liquor they asked for, the bill being paid by the business men of the town. At first the secre- tary couldn't be of much help to the men who were really drunk.
