Hot Water the

mend the inside bath, claiming this is
Of vastly more Importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass OF hot water with teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means Of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and

and purifying the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into

Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshens the skin, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
elinlinative organs.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have dull, aching head, sallow COM
plexion, acid stomach; others who
are subject to bilious attacks or con-
stipation. should obtain a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the

but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value of inside bathing. Those who
continue it each morning are assured
of pronounced results, both in re-
gard to health and apprenticeship.

this adds $250.l0 per capita to tie
S2.6Sl.67, making every man, woman

between September and November
was $26S,5l4S, or $l6.5S per capita,
which added to the $2.95l.T makes

stout handles and several inside
pockets. These are accompanied
with kneeling mats, also khaki TO

others are of plain linen, crash or
other suitable materials. adorned
with stenciled pattern or motifs cut

each one is accompanied by that
kneeling pad, for gardening this
year is something more than walk

Merchants tell me-" said Mrs

that, just as soon as women de-
sire serviceabIe materials, they can
get them. The merchants will not
buy pure silks, all wool cloth, and
cottons with fast colors, because
women do not seem TO care about
their wearing quality, so long as
they can keep up with the chang

about silks the housewife should
know. The cheap silks which crack
so easily are weighted with metallic
stuffs which are taken up in the dye
and these rot the silk. The presence
of these minerals in silk, in excess,
forces the merchant to sell the
goods after a certain time. SO We
have a great bargain of silk. If
