Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all tho stomach, iivsr'
and bowel poIsons before
breakfast

To feel your best day in and day out
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat
your tongue and sicken your breath or
dull your head; no constipation, bilious
attacks, sick headache colds, rheumatism
or gassy, acid stomach, you must battle
on the inside like you battle outside.
This is vastly more important, because
the skin pores do not absorb impurities
into the blood, while the bowel pores do,
says well known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins well
flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, drink before breakfast each
day a glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will cleanse, purify and freshen the
entire alimentary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from your pharmacist. 1t is mex
pensiye and almost tasteless, except a
sourish twinge which is not unpleasant.
Drink phosphated hot water every morn
ing to rid your system of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel; like you
felt before your blood, nerves and mus
lies became saturated with an accumula
ton of body poisons, begin this treatment
md, above all, keep it up! As soap and
not water act on the skin, cleansing,
'weetening and purifying so limestone
phosphate and hot water before break

DO YOU NEED A SPRING TONIC

DO YOU NEED A SPRING TONIC
Do you tire easily? Do you feel ex-
hausted in the morning when you
wake up? Have you reached the
point where you have no strength
left to overcome fatigue.
Then you certainly need tonic, one
that will act quickly and surely. You
don t want any guess work about it,
either. Do not take stimulants or nau-
seating oily mixtures, but just take a
concentrated tonic-one 5-grain tono-
line tablet before each meal and at bed
time will produce wonderful results in
few days; just try it.

Fat persons, particularly those from
10 to 80 pounds above normal weight
will be interested to learn that they
may easily reduce their weight with
out starvation diet or tiresome exercise.
This can best be done by being mod
crate in your diet, so that you will
not oyertax your assimilative organs,
by getting plenty Of fresh air, by
breathing deeply and by taking tass-
co four times a day.
Tassco may be obtained from E. T.
Whitehead & Co., in 5-grain tablets
take one after each meal and one be-
fore retiring at night. They cost little,
are absolutely harmless, are pleasant
to take and are designed to reduce fat
ty accumulations in the system where
yer located.
A few days trea tment should show
noticeable reduction in weight, the
flesh should become firm, the skin
smooth and the general health improv-

qua tickets, those buying them,
and many decrying them, have
given little real thought to the
word. and what it really stands
for.
The Chautauqua system was or
gained at Chautauqua, New York
in 1878, and was the outgrowth
Of the Chautauqua Assembly
founded in 1874 by Bishop John
II. Vincent and Lewis Miller, and
was first intended to provide ia
ciIities for those who desired to
make higher education their life
work.
In the beginning it did provide
courses, to both resident and mail
students, in reading, literature,
history, various branches Of
science, art, sociology and econo-
mics.
This extended into giving in
struction by specialists III the
school Of English language and
literature, Of classical languages,
social science, pedagogy, religious
teaching, music, fine arts, express
sion, domestic science and practi-
cal arts.
Later branched forth, in much
more simple way, the present
mode Of reaching the multitude,
and afterwards, so successful be-
came these tours, that they be-
come a yearly feature Of the east
ern states and grew into the great

and, in music, opponents OF the
art that formerly could have only
been heard upon the concert plat
forms of the very largest cities,
or the Metropolitan opera houses
and then at too great cost for
the ordinary people to attempt to
pay.
If those who decry the effort
now being made to establish this
educational, and high class must
cal, feature in Scotland Neck as
one Of the yearly events, have
not considered the matter from
this point they should look up the
records Of other places, cities in
