SHOULD ADVERTISE MILK.

Very timely were the suggestions
of the speakers before the Vermont
IIolstein-F riesian club Tuesday eve.
ming that the milk producers of
Vermont begin campaign of ad.
vertising to educate the consumer re.
garding the value of milk and its prod.
ucts as food. The milk producer of
the state has done little to increase
the demand for his products. In fact,
he has allowed the curtailment of the
consumption of milk on. account of the
necessary advance in price to cover
the increased costs of production. Man.
ufacturers and commercial men do not
commit such an error Through pub
LEFTY they increase the desire for their
products or merchandise no matter how
much the price has been increased. The
milk producers should do the same.
There are many, instances of enor-.
nous sales of beverages, medicine and
other articles effected by thorough
educational advertising campaign. The
use of breakfast cereals, almost un-
heard of generation ago has been
made enormous by the creation of a
demand by intelligent and persistent
advertising. Numerous other cases
might be cited but it is unnecessary,
because the efficiency of advertising in
educating consumers is so generally
recognized. That the consumption Of
milk can be greatly increased by edu-
cation of the consuming public and the
creation of desire for milk is equally
| evident
| The thrifty housewife, once con-
WINGED that milk at present prices is
one of the cheapest and most health
full foods, will purchase increased
quantities if properly educated as to
it's value. Many facts concerning the
food value of milk have been published
but they should be repeated until they

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
a dull dizzy headache: Or. if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning. Immediately
upon rising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet Of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, swcetening and
purifying the entire alimcntarv canal
Those subject to sick headaches.
backaehe, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble. are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
| siastie and keep it up daily. It is a
| splendid health measure for it is more
important to- keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
| ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
] purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach; liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.-Adv.

Ignorance Is Dancer.

A poet has told us that "a little
knowledge is a dangerous thing" but
the real danger Is not in the knowl-
edge, but in the ignorance With which
it is combined. Ignorance is always
dangerous whether much or little.
Every day people are meeting with
disaster or losing their lives because
they are ignorant of something that
could easily be learned. Not little
knowledge but little ignorance is the
thing to be afraid of.-Girl's Com.
