Everyone should drink hot water

before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the provcrbial

clean almost every morning. to pre-
vent its spongc-likc pores from clog

bile and poisonous toxins, says noted
physician.
II you get headaches: it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake up with q bad taste,

ach becomes rancid, it's your liver.
Sallow skin, muddy complexion. wa

ness. Your liver is the most impor-
tant also the most abused aud neg
lectcd organ OF the body. Few know
its function or how to release the
dammcd-up body waste, bile and tox-
ms. Most folks resort to violent calo-
mel, which Is a dangerous. salivating
chemical which can only be used oc-
casionally because it accumulatcs in
the tissues. also attacks the bones.
Every man and woman. sick or well.
should drink each morning before

GRIFF EXPECTS DRIVE
In BAT AND BALL FUND

According to "Reynard" Griffith,
the fans, when they get their sec
ond wind, after the liberty bond
drive which finished as the village
clock registered the hour of last
evening, will seriously consider the
bat-and-ball' drive that is GER
tainly most laudable.
Il never give my men two things
to do at q time, because naturally
there would be a divided interest, /"
Quoth Grtf, and while 1 have
brought the thought to fans doing
their bit, to supply the boys in
camps with baseball accoutrement
for tbs physical amusement that
they deserve and which makes 'em
inter, ! am now urging all to do
all they can to whack out a few
dollars for the expense of this ma
terial, whether it's a base hit (25
cents) or a home run CSLOO). And
so I'm not giving the fans two
things to do at once, being satis-
ned that the loose shekels left after
the investments of fandom in lib
erty bonds automatically comes TO
help our boys either here or in
foreign shores to outfits that will
enable them to play the game they
love and AFFORD them the relaxation
they so richly deserve for their
patriotic sacrifice"

The players and Dave Fultz, the
president, were all but knocked out

Efforts are now. being made to re-

major leagues as members. but even
this, plan is doubtful.
That there Is now little more to the
organization than its name Is evi-

have not been asked to pay their an
organization can exist unless there Is
the wherewtthal to exist on.
The biggest handicap that the fra

The National League boasted of a

that he has not been notified II he
