Get the Habit Of
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can't look or feel right
with the system full
Of poisons.

Millions of folks battle internally now
instead of loading their system with
drugs. "What s an inside baths" you
say. Well, it is guaranteed to perform
miracles if you could believe these hot
water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women, who Immediately upon rising
in the morning, drink glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime.
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is intend
ed to flush the stomach, liver, kidneys
and the thirty feet of intestines of the
previous days waste, sour bile and in
digestible material left over in the body
which is not eliminated every day, be.
come food for the millions Of bacteria
which infest the bowels, the quick result
is poisons and toxins which are then
absorbed into the blood, causing head
ache, bilious attacks, foul breath, bad
taste, colds, stomach trouble, kidney
misery, sleeplessness, impure blood and
all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can not
get feeling right, are urged to obtain
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
at the drug store. This will cost very
| little, but is sufficient to make anyone
real crank on the subject of internal
sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
! hot water act on the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels. 1t is vastly more i'm
portant to battle on the inside than on
| the outside, because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do.

Embroidered with forceps and scrapers

And their marching tune is eerie-
it's the awful Dead March in

They re the mourners and undertakers
for those who have answered the

Some call them the "Linseed Lancers, -
some dub them the "Poultice

They slog when Tommy is fighting, slog

If they don't carry rifles and bayo-

preparation that is relied upon to cure
indigestion. We never call for the
acids. For the same reason, we drink
the alkaline mineral waters and avoid
acids. Why are the papers filled with
advertisements of remedies for uric acid
troubles? We never read of remedies
for alkaline blood or kidney troubles.
Our blood is almost universally too acid.
1T is one of the rarest things in the
world to find the blood of anybody too
alkaline. All because we fail to de
velop the salivary glands and to enjoy
our food while it is being masticated in
the mouth. From the same cause our
mouths are dry, and public speakers
need a glass of water to moisten their
mouths when speaking DR.. W. H.

DALLAS NEGRO FARMERS AT
SCHOOL.
l65 SPEND THREE DAYS WITH
DEMONSTRATION AGENTS
HOME PUT IN MODEL SHAPE.


Selma, Ala. December s.
Special to the Globe.
One hundred and sixty-fve colored
farmers of Dallas County, besides
women and children attended a
three days Extension school, held
under the auspices of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute and the L. S.
Department of Agriculture and con-
Quoted by Thomas NJ. Campbell, Dis
trict Agent, Tuskegee Institute. Har-
ry Sims, Special United States De-
monstration Agent for colored farm
ers of Central Alabama, with head
quarters in Selma; E., C. Dobbs, Field
Assistant in seed treatment work
under the Bureau of Plant Industry
and H. T. TOodle, Local Agent for
Dallas County. 81
The meeting was held at Sardis,
on the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, about nine miles from Selma,
and at church one mile west of the
station. The instructors selected for
their operation home of a colored
farmer near the church. Here they
taught by doing, or rather by show
ing the farmers what to do and how
to do it. Taking the home as they
found it, the instructors showed how
to make hot beds, cold frames, re-
built hen houses, pruned and strayed
the orchard, mixed the whitewash
and whitewashed the house, built
sanitary closet, bottomed chairs and
put the premises and everything
about the yard in sanitary condition.
So complete was the change made
the owner would not have known his
home if he had been away while the
work of renovation was going on.
Another interesting feature OF the
three days school was the exhibit Of
the products of the year. The dis
play showed that the farmers had
made corn, potatoes, garden pro-
ducts, meat molasses, peanuts and
velvet beans in abundance. 1t was
undoubtededly the most instructive
school of agriculture for Negro farm
ers ever held in Central Alabama.

A WINTER DAY.

The sun rose clear and promising.
but its face was soon hidden behind
dense clouds, which trailed down
gloomingly over the landscape. This
brought about an after visitation of
semidarkness which made one think
Of the coming Of night. The grayness
that blurred and extinguished the blue
of the sky had a depressing effect
on the human mind, and even in the
humber kingdom of living creatures.
One noted the lower fight of the hen
hawk and how the omnipresent Eng.
lish sparrow filtered into the shelter
ed corners of pOrches 1t was not
long until snowfakes were circling
towards the brown BOSOM of the earth
BY the middle of the afternoon the
ground was white, and the signs all
pointed to blizzardy night-the sort
OF night that spurs you to get the
cattle into the barns early and see
that the hogs have a bit of extra bed
ding as well as rations. And the
night? Yes, it was thick and smothery
with blowing snow; such night as
makes the fireside seem doubly cheer
full and cozy,
