Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but tC
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh
as dasy by opening the sluices OF
the system each morning and flush
ing out the whole Of the internal pol
sonous stagnant matter.
we'll, should, each morning, before
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
The previous. days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of hot water and li1ne-
stone phosphate on an empty storm
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations,
eases, waste and acidity and gives
one a splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your
breakfast the water and phosphate
are quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flush
ing of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but it
sufficient to make anyone a pro-
nounced crank on the subject Of
internal sanitation. S

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

New York, Dec. 12.-The further
crumbling of values in the stock mar
ket today was again traceable to OBJ
vious causes, foreign and domestic de-
velopments intensifying the general
feeling of discourag cement.
Cumulative evidence that the govern
ment purposes taking over the rail-
roads under conditions not previously
reclsOned with an q news ticker dis
patch from Washington quoting an
eminent military authority as saying
that all private munitions plants
should be placed under direct federal
control contributed measureably to the
widespread reversal.

years classed among those yielding
substantial dividend returns, fell TO
points, with scarcely noteworthy
exception touching their lowest range
in the current period of liquidation.
In some instances tOday's minimums
established new records for a decade
and even q generation.
United States Steers uninterrupted
decline of SIS to 81 ga represented
a new low for this year and an ex-
IRENE. reversal of IS points from its
maximum of the mid year.
Practically every grade of stock in
the industrial, shipping and allied di-
visions. succumbed to the pressure di-
rected against the leaders. showing re-
cessions of to 5 points. Operations
