Five Reasons for Soap Shortage.

One Of the astonishing effects of
war on commodities is that upon soap,
which has become scarcer than food
in some European countries. This
country is now feeling soap short
age that calls for careful conserva-
ton. At least five factors affect the
industry in this country, according to
the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter.
First, food conservation has reduced
the amount of oil and grease recov-
cred from city garbage by 40 per cent.
Second, ship shortage has cut off the
supply of palm and other vegetable
oils from the tropics. Third, glycerin.
which was formerly a by-product of
soap, is being used to make explosives
to such an extent that soap has pract-
ically become by product Of glycerin.
Fourth, there Is a serious shortage of
rosin, which Is one of the most i'm.
portant ingredients of soap. Fifth,
our consumption of soap has been in.
creased by the establishment Of nearly
so army training camps, adding to the
demand in a country which was al
ready the largest consumer Of soap
per capita in the world.

Lock and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life IS not merely to live, but to
live well, eat we'll dress well, Work
well, sleep well, look we'll. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easily it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul
tongue. nasty breath, acid stomach,
can. instead, feel as fresh as a daisy By
opening the sluices of the system each
morning and flushing out the whole OF
the internal poisonous, stagnant mat
ter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick "r
well, should each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom-
ach, liver, kidneys and bowels tn prev
fous days indigestible toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach. The
action of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wond-
erfully invigorating. 1t cleans out all
the sour lamentations, gases, waste
and acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
oil all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
SMELLS, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others who have sallow skins. blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is suf-
ficent to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject Of internal SANTA
