before breakfast.

If we all would practice inside-batn.
Ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead Of thousands of
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds Of happy, healthy, rosy.
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son Is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which 1t accumulates under our pres
ent mode Of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like po1sons which
are absorbed into the blood. q
Just as necessary as It Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, q glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation. bilious attacks, acid
stomach. nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranl1s about

cost much at the drug store, but Is

ROAD BUILDING HINTS GIVEN
Military Attaches With Former Pre-
mier ealfour Of England, I'M
part information.

Some interesting information re-
garding military road building was Civ
en- to the United States when the Eng
lish mission headed by Former Pre-
mier Balfour arrived in New York.
Military attaches told how the armies
of France and Great Britain rebuilt
roads in France and Belgium.
English military engineers recently
have made experiments demonstrating
that it Is possible and desirable to
build the highest types of road sur
faces for the temporary or emergency
movement Of artillery and supplies.
Roads built with asphalt sent from
England have been constructed in the
rear Of the Franco-Belgian front.
Roads so improved gave better serv-
Ice than any type attempted under the
swift and heavy movement necesSi-
tated by the artillery action which
precedes infantry attacks. 1t was
observed that mOtortruckS and gun
carriages suffered no injury in move
ment over these hastily constructed
pavements. while frequent breakdOwns
were experienced when road building
was not attempted.
Following those experiments a mis-
sion, including officers of the British
and French engineer corps, looked
over the pavements in the envirOns
of Paris built in the last three or four
years. Among other roads inspected
was the asphalt pavement laid on the
road to Versailles, which has been
carrying heavy military traffic ever
| since the war started. AS result
of these experiments and investiga-
tons it has been decided, wherever
possible, to construct similar surfaces
for the movement Of military traffic
in regions where roads have been de-
strOyed or where they may be made
necessary by battle plans.

CLIP THIS AND PI1I
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
up Corns or Calluses to Thew
Lift Off WITH Fingers.

Ouch ! I! ! This kind of rouc;,
talk will be heard less here in :,wn if
people trubled with corns will follow
the simple advice Of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drons
of a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without PAIN
He says freezone dries immediately
and never infames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
Of freezone will cost very little at
any drug store, but will positively re-
move every hard or soft or callus from
ones feet. Millions Of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration Of the high
heels. IF your druggist doesn' have
freezone tell him to order a small bot
tie for you.

France delights in naming it's streets
after some particular building, or some
happening, or a great victory, and this
is also true to certain extent in
Canada, where there is only one CAPT

Overheated Air.

A rise of temperature in the sur
rounding air diminishes the amount of
oxygen consumed and the amount of
dioxide discharged. A fall of tenn.
perature has the opposite effect. In
addition, the overheated air forms o
hot jacket around the body, which pre-
vents the radiation Of heat necessary
to keep the body in a healthy condi
ton. With sedentary occupation 8
temperature of from Is to 20 should be
maintained for comfort and health.

BUILDING GOOD EARTH ROADS.
Can Be Constructed at Low Cost, but
They Require Constant and Costly
Attention.

Good earth roads can be constructed
at a very low cost; however, they re-
quire constant maintenance, which may
be expensive where the travel is heavy.
A well-built and properly maintained
earth road Will serve some sections as
we'll as the most expensive types Of
hard-surfaced roads will serve other
sections Where this fact is realized
more attention will be paid to earth
roads, and the mOnag spent on them
will not be regarded as lost.
