HOT WATER THE
BEST LIVER AND
BOWEL MEDICINE
Says glass of hot water before
breakfast washes poisons
from system.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, causing i'll 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 teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of helping to wash from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible ma
terial poisons, sour bile and TOXINS;
thus cleansing, sweetening andNpurify-
ing the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin. so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the elimi-
native organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain quarter-pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store.
This will cost very little. but is suf-
ficient to demonstrate the value of in
side bathing. Those who continue 1t
each morning are assured of pro-
nounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.

To Study Possible Danger
of Poison in Canned Foods

New York, March H. - 1t is an
nounced here by the National Re
search Council that an exhaustive in
vestigation is to be undertaken to de-
termine to what extent if any, the
danger of poisoning is involved in the
use of canned goods The National
Gamers Association, representing
practically all producers of canned
foodstuffs in this country, is to bear
the entire expense of the investiga-
ton, which will be conducted entire
ly independent of the association eX-
the work. A sum of over $4,000
will be appropriated by the Gamers
Association, should the work require
so large an expenditure.
The proposal to make such an in
vestigation was brought forward by
DR.. George 70. Hale, director of the
Mount Wilson Solar Observatory and
chairman of the National Research
Council, who believed there was
widespread interest in such an i'm
portant subject as the danger of poi
soning from the use of canned goods
Approaching the National Gamers
Association, DR.. Hale found that or
ganization eager to have such an in
dependent investigation made, firm as
it was in the belief that canning
methods as generally used in this
country thoroughly protect the public
from the danger of poisoning. Many
cases of illness that have been at
tributed to poisoning from eating
canned goods are believed by the can
ners to have resulted from entirely
different causes or from disregard of
the ordinary precautions, such as not
allowing goods to stand in a can after
being once opened.
The Gamers Association itself has
for years maintained its own labora-
tory in Washington, adequate to con-
duct it's own Investigations, but has,
nevertheless, thought it wise to put
its case into the hands of an inde-
pendent research board, for although
the subject is one that has been in
vestigated to some extent before,
there has as yet been no complete
survey of this problem With view
to supplying this deficiency, the Ma
tional Research Council has appoint
ed a committee to supervise the in
quiry, which will be undertaken by
the Harvard Medical School in its de-
partment of preventative medicine
and hygiene. The work has been en-
trusted to DIR. NJ. ]. Rosenau, of Har-
ward, who is one of the most eminent
pharmacological chemists in the
country. The results of the research
will be published through regular sti-
entific channels from time TO time,
but it is expected that it may be a
matter of three years or more before
the ground is completely covered.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you uset Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about q teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

FRUIT GROWERS
TO GET BENEFITS
Extensive Plan Undertaken to
Rid the State of Many
Voracious Pests

Fruit growers of Pennsylvania will
be greatly benefited by Investigations
which are planned by Zoologist ]. G..
Sanders of the Department of Agri-
culture during the coming season. The
plans call for investigation for the
control of fruit tree borers, and the
manufacture of q cheap, effective
paint to protect fruit trees from bor-
ers, rabbits and mice; control of the
apple worm or coddling moth and the
curculio; and the control of the apple
aphids and the apple red-bug.
Probably no other type of injury TO
fruit trees causes so much loss, espec-
tally in young orchards as the borers,
rabbits and mice. At the present
time no materials that have been
tried out seem to be entirely effective
as controls, but Zoologist Sanders be-
lieves that Investigations that he has
planned will in a few years solve one
of the biggest problems that confronts
Pennsylvania fruit growers. Under
the direction of the Bureau of zoology
experiments will be carried out i'll
several orchards in the State near
Harrisburg and com mbinationS of cheap
materials that have been tested in the
laboratory will be applied to the
trunks of trees and will remain on
the trees during the growing season
and through the winter. The tests
will be to find effective repellants
against the borers, rabbits and mice
and to determine the permanence of
the materials applied.
Prominent orchardists predict that
within the next ten or fifteen years
the apple crop of the State will be
worth more than fifty million dollars
annually.
Apples of special importance in the
York, Adams, Franklin and Bedford
county fruit belt are the Stayman
Winesap, York Imperial, Rome
Beauty and Grimes Golden.
For long succession q list of apples
recommended for the northern fruit
sections of the State are: Yellow
Transparent, Red Astrachan, Olden-
burg, Gravenstein, Wealthy, Smoke
house, Mcintosh, WAGNER and Bald
win.
Reports from Somerset county in
dicate that the maple sugar supply
will be exceptionally good this year.
Somerset ranks first in the maple
sugar industry in the State.
