Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning.
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, 81 let's make
OUT stay agreeable. Let US live WELL
eat well, digest well, work well. sleep
we'll, and look well. what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it Is II one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split,
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty. breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll. should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sou: 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 limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in.
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others whos
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get q
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone q pronounced crank on the
subject of ins~ide.bathing before break

Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

You can turn gray; faded hair beau
dfully dark and lustrous almost over
night II you'll get q bottle of '-Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any
drug store. Millions Of bottles Of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here, because it darkens the
hair 81 naturally and evenly that no
one can tell 1t has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This Is the age Of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around. so get busy with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
tonight and you'll be delighted with
your dark. handsome hair and your
youthful appearance within a few
days. 4

Not freight car, necessarily, but

country-you who live in potato:
sections-bring back a sack or two,
in your car. Then eat them, many
ways, every day, sevreal times

country, but it will help save the
big food reserve that will soon Begin
to sprout if it isn't eaten.
Let this. fact sink in deep: Unless
we increase our consumption Of POI

weeks, says the Department Of Agrii.
