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

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-'
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
/! 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 ii.
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons. gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone

The executive committee Of the
Keokuk Red Cross wishes to call at
tention to the fact that in view of the
large results of the war fund drive it
is going to be able to do largely in
creased amount of work for the relief
and aid of our soldier boys on account
of the fact that it will be more gen
erously supplied with funds than has
heretofore been the case. They would
further take this opportunity to thank
the many women who have been work
ing faithfully during the last year in
making the large amount of surgical
dressings, garments of various kinds,
knitted goods and other supplies,
some of these women having practic-
ally worked at it day and night for
months, and practically pushed every
thing else to one side.
In view Of these facts 1t may be
well to remind the community that
compared with the number of people
in it who could give service in this
work the number Of real workers, who
are steadily and earnestly doing their
best. are very few, and that the ne
cessities of the present situation
should appeal more strongly to more
people. Our boys are fighting harder

CUT OUT STEAKS
AND ROAST BEEF
First Glass Hotels and Restaurants
Asked to Eliminate Them for
Three Months by Food
Administration.

W. " Holmes, manager of the
Hotel Iowa, has been appointed as
permanent assistant to the Iowa state
chairman for hotels and restaurants
of the food administration.
The state chairman is w. F. Mil
Ter to whom Herbert Hoover has
telegraphed urging that all first
class hotels of Iowa simplify their
menus They have already eliminate
ed wheat products altogether, and it
is probable that they will all cut out
of their bills of fare steaks and roast
beef except on two or three days each
week.
81 have given special attention to
the bread and rolls and mullins for
some time" said regular boardsr
at the Hotel Iowa today, land l find
that the travelling public makes no
objection to the elimination of wheat
flour from breads and pastry. .Tray'
cling men are &c patriots ami are
as earnest in following the food ad
ministrations orders and sugGesticr,
as any soldier is to obey orders OF
his captain. Perhaps one reason is
that some of us find the new bread
stuffs and pastry even better and
more toothsome than the old kind
made with all wheat flour"
The better class of hotels and res
taurants find handicap, however,
in the poorer class which dodge the
food administration plans more or
less and use the fact to knock those
which do comply. There is not much
of this, and it has been met in some
cities by a public boycott Of the I'M
patriotic eating places which break
over the rules of the food administers
ton. The telegram from the nation
al chairman of hotels, originating
with Herbert Hoover, says:
THE food administration believes
that the cooperation of the hotels
and restaurants of the United States
in such measures has been so fully
and Loyalty given in the past that the
suggestions herein contained will be
followed.
"During the months Of June, July
and August. we are extremely anx-
ious to secure a reduction of fresh
beef consumption in order to main
tain the allied supply, and we must
secure this without substitution o

Report War Fund Drive to the

The chairman of the war fund drive
committee, Mr. c. r. Joy, was called
away from the city before the results
of the drive were fully known, and it
falls to me to make the report to you
for him / beg to submit the following
unofficial and incomplete figures, COW
ering contributions and pledges al

mittee, or known to be in the hands
of soliciting committees. The total
amount now shows for keokuk and
the seven townships in the jurisdic-
ton of the Keokuk chapter, $40 ,391.l5.
Details of the figures will be given Of
fcially and fully by the finance de-

made showing the amounts contribut-
ed by the different communities; also

In connection with this report it
seems fitting that the directors of the
chapter express their appreciation of
the work which has been done by the
war fund committee. There was never
any doubt about the success of the
drive after Mr.. c. r. JOY took the
