To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
lions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incombustible ma
terial in the form of ashes, so the food
and drink taken each day leave in
the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material, which
if not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked into the
blood through the very ducts which
are intended to suck in only nourish-
ment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver. kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins.
liver spots. pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste. nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches. bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, puriffes and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider
that internal sanitation is vastly more
important than outside cleanliness,
because the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood. while the
bowel pores do.-Advertiseme

BACKACHE
(By L. H. Smith, NJ. d.

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part of the human ma
chine is liable to become out of order.
The most important organs are the
stomach, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separat-
ing the poisons from the blood. Their
signals of distress are easily recog-
nized and include such symptoms as
backache, depressions. drowsiness. ir-
ritability, headaches. dizziness, rhedl
matte twinges, dropsy. govt.
The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
small amount of Anuric, which is
dispensed by most every druggist.
Anuric, is inexpensive and should be
taken before meals. 1t is much more
potent than lithia and many find that
Anuric dissolves uric acid as water
does sugar.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need to be flushed oc-
casionally. The kidneys are an elm
NATIVE organ and are constantly
working, separating the .poisons from
the blood. Under this continual and
perpetual action they are apt to con-
gest, and then trouble starts. Uric
acid backs up into the system, causing
rheumatism, neuralgia, dropsy and
many other serious disturbances. 1t
means that you are a victim to uric
acid poisoning. Then ask your drug
gist for Anuric, which was first dis
covered by DIR. Pierce of the Surgical
Institute in Buffalo, and which is dis
pensed by nearly every druggist in the
nd.-Advertisement.

Vap-O-Rub Salve, the external treat
ment for all forms of cold troubles,
but it was introduced in Springfield,
Mo-, for the first time, last winter.
Naturally, the local druggists were
skeptical, they had to be shown" that
Vick's Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
most cases of Group in fifteen minutes,
and colds over night. So arrange

present complimentary jars of Vap-O-
Rub to few of his customers, on con-
dition that they give it a thorough
trial. Among the customers of the

Because of this he asked per mission to slaughter such stock out of town and bring the carcasses in for immediate inspection. The board voted to give Dr. Witte the right to make such concessions when he deemed it advisable. Tho construc- ton of the slaughter houso was also a source of some worry to Mr. Sher- man who declared Tit was built more for a hot house or an automobile garage than a slaughter house." He thought it was too ligh4 and would attract too many flies. e was told that the windows would be screened and pulleys and hooks would be in stalled so that the heavy carcasses can be easily loaded onto wagons.

 The health board and the Later Hide and Tallow company, which of- fered to do janitor service at the slaughter house free of cost for the privilege of erecting a small hide and tallow store house on the premises, have agreed to try out the experiment for one month without contract. If both parties are satisfied the contract will be signed. Dr. Witte will be sworn in as 8 special policeman with police powers at the slaughter house.

 Further investigations at the Town Home showed that there are five old men there who are utterly incap pablo of caring for themselves yet there is no paid attendant at the home to care for them. Whatever is done for them has to be done by some kindly dis posed fellow inmate when the nurse and others are busy elsewhere. It was also found that the bathroom doors are not equipped with locks and the faucets in the bath tubs are of the ordinary kind, instead of the push button style.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Kibbe informed the investigators positively that they should refuse to take any responsibil- ity for any other unfortunate acci- dents of similar nature at the home as with the lack of help and equip ment which they must contend with it is impossible for them to do so. Both declared that what is needed most is a hired and efficient orderly to take care of patients who are help less.
