DRINK HOT WATER
E YOU DESIRE A

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
ing to flush from the system the pre-
v1ous days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb.
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when 1t burns, leaves behind GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, SO the food and
drink taken each day leave In the ALI
mentary organs a certain amount of
andigestible material, which il 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 nourishment
to sustain the body.
IL you want tor 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, q glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful OF limestone phosphate In
It. which is a harmless means Of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels. thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Men and women with sal1ow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexton, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are
assured Of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more Inn
portant than outside cleanliness, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

FRANCEPROTESTS

Objects to Construction of
Railroad in China by

PEKIN. April le.-The French Minister
here has protested to the Foreign ONCE
against the building Of an American
railway through the province OF
Kwangsi. The Minister produced a
hitherto unpublished note from former
Foreign Minister Sun Pao-Chi, written
in September. 1914. pledging China to
give the French preference in the finan-
cling OF railways and minessin Kwangsi,
The keeping OF this agreement secret
Is regarded in high circles here as a

has referred tho protest of the French
Minister to the State Department at
Washington.
American engineers began surveys for
the railway line passing through

countries are reported to he moro eager
for peace than their more powerful
ally a degree Of hope Is felt that their
exigencies may force Germany TO a
more moderate stand and bring. the day
OF ultimate peace nearer.
Affected BY Russia.
The recent public statement OF Count
Czernin, Austrian Minister for Foreign
Affairs, that the Central Powers still
stood ready for conference, and the
widespread comment upon It in the
press were interpreted here to indicate
Il growing desire for peace In the Cen
trail empires. Similar statements by
Bulgarian leaders strengthened this
viewpoint.
Austria is known to have been deeply
affected by war weariness and by the
Russian revolution. 1t Is generally felt
there that the Central empires have
reached the maximum Of their military
strength. and 1t is feared the upheaval
across the border may find a decided
echo among Austria's conglomerate and
disaffected peoples. Food conditions.
though satisfactory in agrarian Hun
gary, are serious in Industrial Austria
and enthusiasm among the people has
fallen off alarmingly.
Bulgaria likewise In troubled by food
shortage and. the Russian revolution.
The latter has brought again to the sur
face the old friendliness for the Russian
people and has injected into the question
the decision of the ruling class to fight
against their liberator. In strictly
military sense. however. Bulgaria is un-
derstood to be stronger than at any
time during the war. as her losses have
been negligible.
