WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the polsons and toxins
from system before putting
more food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside be
fore breakfast like you do on the
outside. This is vastly more i'm
portant because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the
blood, causing illness. while the
bowel pores do.
For every ounce OF food and
drink taken into the stomach. near
ly an ounce of waste material must
be carried out Of the body. II this
waste material is not eliminated
day by day it quickly ferments
and generates poiSons, gases and
toxins which are absorbed or suck ed
into the blood stream. through the
lymph lucts which should suck only
lnourishment to sustain the BODY.
A splendid health measure is TO
drink, before breakfast each day. a
glass Of real hot water. with a Tea
spoonful OF limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins
from the stomach, liver kidneys
and bowels; thus cleansing. sweet
euing and fresheninE the entire ali
mentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach.
A quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate costs but very little al
the drug store but is sufficient to
make anyone an enthusiast on in
side bathing.

| Blouses That
| Breathe of the
| New Season
New style Blouses for bet
ter wear occasions would
be hardly expected to fall
into the moderate price
class; but that is just what
these new models have
done and it makes them all
the more desirable and
none the less handsome be-
cause of their little cost.
They are creations of
Georgette crepes, crepe de
chimes, satins, striped silks
and many other dainty
waistings.
They all have the new ideas
in sleeves, shares of COL
lars and decorations.
The colors are white, flesh,
navy, maise, gold, plum
and all the new fall
shades.
Many of the waists are
suitable for suit wear,
while others are specially
designed to wear with
separate skirts.
