HOT WATER THE

Says Glass of Hot Water Be.
fore Breakfast Washes
PoiSons From System.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this
is of vastly more Importance than
outside cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing ill health, while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in ii, as
a harmless means OF helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigesti.
BILE material, poisons, sour bile and
toxins: thus cleansing. sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, 50 hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
eliminative organs.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have a dull. aching head, sallow com
pleXion, acid stomach; others who
are subject to bilious attacks or con
stipation, should obtain a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the
drug store. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value of inside bathing. Those who
continue II each morning are assured
of pronounced results, both in regard
TO health and appearance.-Advt.

Refreshing

The record of the state legislature after
the third week v we'll under way. has been
astonishingly peaceful. Not particularly pro
life, perhaps; but the first weeks never are.
and 1t is not human nature for a Legislator
to plunge into the work up to his neck the
m he takes his seat. In the case of q
session where the members are largely in
experienced, unproductive first weeks are
even more to be expected.
1t is not putting 1t too strongly, however,
to say that the first two weeks of the pres
emit session have seen less %wrangling and
less disposition to wrangle than for a num-
Der of legislatures. Various reasons may be
assigned for this; but the pleasant fact re-
mains that no one SO far has displayed any
to start a rough Mouse. Floor
leaders and presiding officers have side
stepped rocks Of violent dissension and cour-
tesy and good will have prevailed. The Third
house so far has moved cautiously and kept
pretty much out Of sight. In that it is wise.
AS the New Mexican declared at the be-
ginning OF the session, the present assem-
bly, Is a very fair average body of men and
il left alone, despite inexperience, their good
Intentions are bound to result in fair aver
age legislation. Is it too much to hope that
things will go on In the refreshingly novel
channels to which they have so far been
confined?

Not Helping Booze

recently placing themselves "squarely un
