Before breakfast each day, drink a
spoonful OF limestone phosphate in II
the stomach, liver. kidneys and
waste. sour bile and toxins: thus
cleansing. sweetening and purifying
the entire ailmentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases
and acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store. but Ia sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
eleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin. so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the blood and inter
nal organs. Those who are subject to
constipation. bilious attacks. acid
stomach. rheumatic twinges, also
those whose skin Is sallCw and com
plexion pallid, are assured that one
week of inside ba thing will have them
both looking and feeling better in
every way.-Adv.

One thousand dollars reward will

apprehension of William B. Pizzini, alb
sconding real estate dealer, 1t was an
nounced by the local Pinkerton De-
tective agency yesterday. J. w. Erb,
superintendent of the agency here.
is responsible for the statement that
this reward has been offered for the
arrest of the missing man.
This is the largest amount ever Of
Tered for the arrest of an absconding
citizen of this city. Superintendent
Erb said yesterday that he was not at
liberty to reveal the identity of the
persons offering the reward, but IL is
understood that the amount has been
placed at the agency's disposal by
Richmond banks swindled by the
clever realty man. The amounts lost
by the banks is not known. since they
have not instituted proceedings against
the man in full amount OF his defal-
cations
Besides the reward which In Of

his movements from that point sttll

The theory that he made his way
as quickly as possible to Costa RIGA,
from which country he could not be
extradicted by international law, seems
the most feasible that has been given,
and the Pinkerton agency have been
investigating this clue for some time.

of preparedness seems a very appro-
pirate one. Drills will be held each
