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

Those of us who are accustomed to feel dlln and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acsd stomach, lame back, can, instead both look and feel as fresh as 8 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 poohful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels tfie previous days fndigestible waste, soiIr bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleafaB- ing, sweetening and purifying the entire, alirnettary tract before putting 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 fernentatfons, gases waste and aeidity and gives one 3 splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered With biliousness, constipa- fion, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject o. internal sanitation.

Will pay all expenses of the men or
dered before the Medical Advisory
Board.
During the past week the board
has issued permits to a number of
young men, as provided in Section
Isl, S. S. r., to volunteer for SER
vice in the navy. Some have al-
ready visited the recruiting office in
Augusta, and others will go for
examination during the next few
days. Among those accepted up to
this time are Mr.. W. D. Lanham,
Mr.. S. D. Mays and Mr.. j. f. Cor
ley. All OF these young men have
been ordered to report to Atlanta
the latter part of the week.
The first quota will be completed
by sending lO2 colored men to Camp
Jackson during the last week in
February. No more men will then
be sent to camp until another incre-
ment of army is ordered out bv the
War Department in Washington.
AS to when this will be done, is
purely a matter of conjecture. I'm
til this is done all resistrants who
are not in the current quota have
the privilege of volunteering for
naval service.

Mems Wesley Bible Class Meet

The Mems Wesley Bible class of
the Methodist church was most de-
lightfully entertained on Monday
evening at the home of Mr., and
Mrs. L. S. Kernaghan. At the ap-
pointed hour the members of the
class were ushered into the sitting
room, which was arranged for a reg
ular meeting Of the class. Many
pot plants added to the attractive
ness of the surroundings, S. B.
Nicholson, the efficient president of
the class, then conducted Model
Wesley Bible Glass, carrying out
every feature of a we'll organized
and properly conducted mems class.
Fictitious reports, previously pre-
pared, were read by the supposed
chairmen of the various committees:
Evangelstic, membership, social ser
vice, social and finance. 1t was
shown that the most telling work Of
an organized class is done through
these committees.
After about half an hour spent in
suggestive and helpful comment on
the above program, the doors open
ing into the spacious dining room
were drawn back and the men were
ushered IN. Here most bountiful
and delightful two-course luncheon
was served; the hostess, Mrs. kerna-
CHAN, being graciously assisted by
her sister and cousin, Misses Rosela
and Bessie Parker.
L. S. Kernaghan, a. L. Gunter,
and our special guests, Maj. L. j.
Lyon and Mr.. Geo. f. Minis, were
each called upon for short talks on

man responded in well chosen " ords.
A unanimous vote of appreciation
was extended Mr.. and Mrs. Kerna-

ity, and the guests, numbering
about eighteen, took their leave.
