A Result of the Movement for cuIti-
 vatinq Vacant Lots.

HeSuIr or fhe movement TOT (uIti- vating Vacant Lots.
 The widespread enthusiasm about planting garden crops in back yards and vacant lots this Spring will prove a boon to the retail hardware dealers, for it means a great and unusual sale of garden tools, such as garden forks, garden trowels, garden blows, and the lighter and cheaper kinds of garden rakes, hoes and spades.
 As these same hardware dealers handle garden seed in most sections, it likewise means much additional bus mess to them in that direction.
 Later on, there comes the story of unusual demand for poultry netting to fence in the garden from the devasta,- tion of the predatory hen and the ma rauding dog. Still later will there be the need of rubber hose and fiXings to keep the garden we'll watered.
 The demand will be phenomenal as early spring business indicates. The supply will be shorter than ever. Take our advice and buy Garden Tools, Seeds, Poultry Netting and Rubber Hose early.

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
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
/ me back, can, instead, both look and
feel as fresh as daisy always by wash
ing the poisons and toxins from the
body with phosphated hot water each
morning.
We should drink, before breakfast, a
glass of real not water with teaspoon
full Of limestone phosphate in it to flush
from the stomach, liver. kidneys and ten
yards of bowels the previous days in
digestible waste, sour bile and poison
GUS toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract before putting more food into the
stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
and hot water ON an empty stomach Is
wonderfully inv!gorating, It cleans out
all the sour fermentations. gases, waste
and acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast and it Is said to
be but little while until the roses be-
gin to appear IN the cheeks. A quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate will cost
very little at the drug store, but is SUI
ffcient to make anyone who is bothered
with biliousnes. constipation, stomach
trouble or rheumatism real enthusiast
on the subject of internal sanitation.
Try 1t and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every way
shortly.
