Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day
out, to feel clean inside; no sour
bile to coat your tongue and Sicken
your breath or dull your head; no
constipation, bilious attacks, sick
headache, colds, rheumatism or gas
sy, acid stomach, YOU must bathc
on the inside like YOU bathe outside.
This is vastly more important, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the
body pores do, says a wcll-known
physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins
we'll flushed from the stomach, liy-
er, kidneys and bowels, drink be-
fore breakfast each day, a glass OF
hot water with a teaSpoonIul OF
limestone phosphate in it, This will
cleanse, purify and freshen the en-
tire alimentary tract, before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist.
1t is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant. Drink phos-
phated hot water every morning tc
rid your system of these vile pois.
ons and toxins; also to prevent
their formation.
To feel like young folks feel; lik,
you felt before your blood, nerve.
and muscles became saturated witt
an accumulation Of body poisons
begin this treatment and above all
keep it up! As soap and hot waite
act on the skin, cleansing, sweeten
ing and purifying, so limeston,
phosphate and hot water befor
breakfast, act on the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels.-(Ady.)

IMPORTANT OIL MEETING.

One of the most important meet
ings ever held in connection with
the oil industry is that OF the West
ern Oil Jobbers' Association sched-
uled to meet at the Congress Hotel,
Chicago, March q, q and 20. The
meeting is not limited 10 the oil job
bers, but invitations have been sent
to everybody connected with the
business, including rehaers and pro-
ducers.
\. c. Bedford president OF the
Standard Oil Company OF New Jer-
sey, who has been active in assist
ing the government to secure a
plentiful supply OF oil ,or its needs,
will he present and make an address.
Mr.. Rcqua, oil admins rator for the
United States, will be present and
have a message for tn oil men.
1t will be no surprise if this meet
ing proves to be the largest OF any
meeting Of oil men ever held in the
history Of the oil business. These
are momcntous times for every one
living in the United States, and cs-
pccialy so for the oil men, who have
the responsibility OF producing and
refining hundreds Of millions o, bar
rcls of oil used by this country and
its allies each year, and which is so
necessary for the successful prose
cution OF the war.
The invitations extended by the
Oil Jobbcr, association Tor this
meeting are very novel, to say the
least. As soon as received, some OF
these invitations have been de-
stroycd for fear ones wife would
get hold OF same. One local oil man
made a mistake and lett his invita-
ton in his pocket, with the result
that it fell into his wife's hands, and
the poor man has been compelled to
cancel his Chicago reservations and
give up the trip.
The invitations are sent in an en-
yclopc peculiar to feminine CORE
Spondcnce and are written in a
lady's hand ON feminine stationery
Whoever conceived .hc idea dis
plays a good knowledge OF the pro
cliyitieS OF the average man, that is,
when away from home. We do not
know whether this form Of invita-
ton was used ior oil men all over
the country, but we do know that
no better form could have been used
to insure a large attendance OF the
Ardmorc oil fraternity
The letter follows:
Chicago, Ill.,, Feb, 20, 1918.
Dear Sir: Maybe you'll think it
very presumptuous for a young girI
to write to a man she doesn't know
but then do know you in a way.
Mr.. Harry Shaw, secretary of the
Western Oil Jobbers Association
has spoken OF you 50 often I'm just
, dying to know you as a real flesh
and-blood person thai can shake
| Idlda Win ana gaze upon.
Would you care tC meet me
| Very well, Mister Man, here's the
way.
The Western Oil Jobbers' Asso.
citation will hold its annual conven.
tion this year on March p, 2S ant
| 29 at the Congress Hotel, Chicago
"I'll be there-but there will be
others there whom you will want tc
meet, too-men who will give yor
new ideas for making more money
men who have done things that yor
can duplicate in your business tC
your profit,
Don't miss me or the convention
each will be worth the trip to you
Very sincerely,
TESS"

The second shaft is being sunk
for the new mill site on the lease OF
the U. S. Company at Cardin. The
first shaft is down to a distance Of
about thirty ieet and the second
one about ten feet. As soap has
been encountered, it has been
found necessary to crib the
shaft, and that is now being done.
1t is reported that about the same
grade OF ore which has been found
in the original holes is encounter
ed on the second site, and it is OF
an exceptionally high character.

The Green Zinc mill which was
constructed about a year ago, and
is located about one and a hall
mile north and mile west OF Mi
ami, and which has never turned a
wheel, is now about to begin op-
erations. After the mill had been
completed it was discovered that
there was no water available, so
the directors were in a quandary.
The river was too far to get water
from, pond would be too eNpen-
sive, so the only other means TO Sc
cure the water was to sink deep
well. This has now been accom-
plished. The we'll is 1900 feet deep
and 4 great volume OF water has
been struck, enough, in fact to sup
ply several mills. This yellow mill
has been called by the miners the
"cocklebur' mill. 1t is the nearest
to Miami OF any Of the mills in the
district, and but very short dis
tance from Miami Heights. 1t is
stated that former Superintendent
Brown OF the Big Seven will have
charge OF the Green Zinc mill in
the future.

France Welcomes Babies.

Babies are welcome in certain apart
ment houses in Paris. Reversing the
policy prevalent In apartment houses,
the owner of one Of the newest houses
in the French capital will not take in
a family which has no children, and
the size of the suite obtainable de-
pends entirely on the number of chill
dren rather than the number of dol
lars a family has. A list of quali-
fications has been prepared by the
owners of these houses and tenants
must meet them A family with one
child will not be permitted to have
the largest apartments in the house.
1t will have to take one of the small
est suites. A family with two chill
dren will be rented the next largest
apartment, three children the next
largest, and four children any Of the
larger suites in the house. A family
must contain at least four children to
lease the largest suite. There is rea-
son to believe that the government is
interested or will be interested in
these houses, as France has encour-
aged in every possible manner q higher
birth rate.

never again import any staple food

OLD BUGGY NOT so BAD
One Man at Least Thinks Automobile
Is Not Such Very Great i'm
provement.

Speaking Of old-fashioned things, a
newspaper writer wants to know what
has become of the gallant youth who,
when he had stopped the horse. would
let down the top of the buggy in order
to permit his sweetheart TO alight
without difficulty?
Well, we do not know what has be-
come of him, but we remember him.
Perhaps he is slumbering somewhere
in oblivion, whatever that is, with the
gaudy lap robe wound about him
that lap robe with the big red rose
crudely worked in the center. 1t was
a thing of art, even as was the linen
duster, and the gallant youth prob
ably hangs on TO it in his obscurity.
But speaking of buggy riding, the
automobile is no improvement over 1t
In the matter of real enjoyment Not
until the automobile Is perfected so
it can be driven with one hand, or un-
til it will wander along the road with
out driving at all, will it come In the
class of bliss which the buggy occu-
pied In the days gone by.
The girls are as sweet as they used
to be-and the roads much better. The
moonlight is just as mellow. Love
( flows in the same uncharted channel.
! Youth Is as hopeful-and as boastful.
Mothers are as anxious, fathers as i'm
patient, when daughter fails to return
when she was expected. Gossip is as
busy But the wise old horse that
knew when there was loving couple
in the buggy, and the narrow buggy
itself, have all but taken their depart
ure along with the gallant fellow who
hoped from the rig and gracefully
and graciously lowered the top of the
vehicle so his companion could alight
without so much as touching wheel
or the body.-Columbu (O) Dispatch.
