Glass of Hot Water
 Before Breakfast
 a Splendid Habit
Open sIuices of the system each morning and wash away the
 poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise splitting headache, stuffy from a cold foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach lame back, can, instead, both lcok and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning.
 We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver. kidneys and ten wards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before put ting more food into the stomach.
 The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations. gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but little while until the roses begin to appear in the checks. A quarter pound of lime stone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with bilionsness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthu- siast on the subiect 0 internal sanita- tion. Try it and YOU are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.

OF his experiences in this war, tells

whose neglect Of duty might have had
terrible consequences for his COM

Gas Kills Greenhouse Pests.

Hydrocyanic-acid gas is the best
weapon to use against insects infesting
the foliage of ornamental plants in
greenhouses. 1t is cheaper and more
effective than any other means and II
is successful against nearly all in
sects. 1t is explained in a new publi-
cation Of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. "Fumigation of
Ornamental Greenhouse Plants With
Hydrocyanic-Acid Cas-" that In green
houses containing a large variety Of
plants slight injury may result to the
tender growths Of some plants even
when the fumigation is properly done.
This injury is not permanent, how
ever, and such plants will show new
vigorous growth In a short time. In
fact. the growth Of many plants Is
stimulated by this gas. Cyanide is a
very poisonous substance and extreme
care must be used in its handling.
