Glass Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sIuices Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of US who are accustomed to
fell dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from cold,
foul stomach, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both look
and feel as fresh as daisy always
by washing the poisons and toxins
from the body with phosphated hot
water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to flush from the stomach, liver, kid
Ineys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
'vious days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one
splendid appetite for breakfast and it
is said to be but little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter-pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to make
anyone who is botehred with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
subject of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN CALIPATRIA
FARM LANDS.
Farmers See Wonderful Possibilities
in the Construction of the New
Railroad.

Real estate is selling faster today
than it has sold in years and the "back
to the land" cry is greater than ever
now because people are realizing that
with a small farm they can be abso-
lutely independent.
Wars may come and wars may go,
business conditions may be bad or
good, but the farmer is always sure
Of mighty good living and with
staple crops cam be assured that
there will always be a demand for
them.
Calipatria Farm Lands are the
cheapest and best to be had. Here
you have an assurance of an abundant
water supply at all times. You have
the best soil in the wolrd; the best
farmi,gs climate in the world; the
cheapest transportation and by buy
ing now you can take advantage of
the present exceedingly low prices.
A man with little money can take
forty or eighty acres here and by our
plan of selling on easy terms put it
in crop and make the land pay for
itself. This land will never be cheap
er. 1t is bound to advance in value
as land everywhere is worth what it
will net per acre.
BuV that Farm now. Go tO Clai-
patria at once and let Mr. HI. H. Clark,
the agent for these Calipatria Farms,
show you what others are doing and
what you yourself can do-Ad12-13-14

Waterloo Boy tractors are now
turning the earth upside down on
nine different Imperial Valley
ranches, according to John D. Rea-

prising four machines, and these are
now on display at his showrooms ir

BURBANK'S BIRTHDAY
TO BE CELEBRATED
(By United PreSs)

Oakland, Feb. 1.-THE planting Of
Burbank's Oakland dahlia, the largest
white dahlia ever produced, probably
will be a feature of a celebration on
March z of the birthday of Luther
Burbank, the Santa Rosa plant ma
gician.
After developing the dahlia, Bur-
bank offered it to the City of Oak
land, through the Chamber of Com
merce. If they didn't want it, he
said, they could have a new rose or
a gladiolus. The Burbank Oakland
Dahlia will hereafter be Oakland's Of
ficial flower. The first bulk prob
ably will be planted in City Hall plaza
and a city holiday will be declared
on Burbank's birthday.
A bulb from the new dahlia will be
presented to each of the 27 other cit
les named Oakland in the United
States. This will be in response to
the gift, by each of the other Oak
lands, of small oak tree, to be plant
ed in City Hall plaza beside Oakland's
official oak. Oakland, Md, is the
onlv city which thus far has respond
ed to the request for an oak, but
they'll all get dahlia anyway.
