DRINK HOT WAITER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY cOMPLE LEXgON
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an Inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
tions and poisonous toxins before it
is obsorbed into the blood. just as
coal, when it burns, leaves behind a
certain amount Of incombustible ma
terial in the form Of ashes, so the
food and drink taken each day leave
in the alimentary organs a certain
amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated, form toxins
and poisons which are then sucked
into the blood through the very ducts
which are intended to suck in only
nourishment to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass Of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, which is harmless means of
washing the waste material and tox-
ms from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, thus cleasing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary

the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, biiuos spells, acid stom-
ach or constipation should begin this
phosphated hot water drinking and
are assured Of very pronounced re-
suits in one or two weeks.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
ohate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
cleanses, purifes and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider
that internal sanitation is vastly
more important than outside cleanli-
ness, because the skin pores do not
absorb impurities into the blood,
while the bowel pores do.

Death of Jim Jordan Closes Ca

Gold Brick Artist Of Early Border

Baltimore, Md.--The death Of Jim
Jordan at the ripe age Of seventy-fve
years in the JOHNS Hopkins hospital,
has brought to an end the career Of
one Of the greatest and most pictur-
esque swindlers that America has ever
produced. Jordan was not s.yegn
or "gunman" or sholdup man." He
played the confidence game In the
early border days, when three-card
monte was the center Of attractions in
the numerous gambling shacks in the
West, and later sold gold bricks" to
the innocent tenderfoots. Toward the
end of his career as q confidence man
Jordan became a poker shark. He
crossed the Atlantic on the luxurious
ly-equipped liners and never was
averse to play a "quiet little game.''
He made fortune estimated at d mil
lion during the half century he op-
Grated as q confidence man, but when
he died he ran true to form and was
broke. 3

monte game and went into the broad
er and more lucrative field afforded
by the gold brick" industry, and rose
step by step to be one of the most sue
.sssful poker sharks that operated on
transatlantic liners plying between
New York city and European ports.
Jordan had close call on the ill-
fated Titanic, which was destroyed at
sea several years ago. The swindler
had been booked for passage and
would have sailed had not the steward
discovered his identity.
Jim killed two and perhaps three
men in tie early days of the West.
One of his victims was 'tBill'' Mat
thews, killed in Chicago. Jordan made
run for 1t and reached California,
but came back and was picked up by
the police In a Chicago cafe. Jim was
convicted and sentenced to 20 years In
the penitentiary. He served four years
when he was pardoned. Jim then
