Sequel To
Love For Doh
Maternal Instinct Greatly Developed by
Teaching Children Co Love their Dolls

The little child's doll Is mother TO the
most romantic fairy. And o. the years that
pass, the doll fades Into The petals Of q
June rose, to evolve tho most wondrous of
all Transformations.
And now comes more serious period
when the Joy Of real motherhood should
be as tranquil as best effort can provide.
This II accomplished with q wonderful
remedy known as Mothers Friend. An ex-
ternal application 80 penetrating in its ma
ture as to thoroughly lubricate tho myriad
network Of cords, tendons, nerves and mus
cles just beneath the skin of the abdomen.
1t relieves the tension, prevents tender
ness and pain at the crisis and enables the
abdomen to expand gently. Tho muscles
contract naturally after baby arrives and
the form Is thus preserved.
It should be applied daily, night and
morning, during the period Of expectancy.
BY regular use 1t enables the abdomen
to expand without the usual skzaln when
baby Is born.. Naturally, pain and danger
at the crisis Is less.

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says we will both look and
feel clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that
1t is as necessary to attend to inter-
nal sanitation of the drainage sys-
tenn of the human body as it is to
the drains of the house.
Those of us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue. nasty breath, acid
stomach. can, instead, feel as fresh
as daisy by opening the sluices of
the system each morning and flush
ing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast drink glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one a splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your
breakfast the phosphated hot water
is quietly extracting a large volume
of water from the blood and getting
ready for a thorough flushing of all
the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly
compilations are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what YOU
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive soap
OF anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily.
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil, The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and IL
leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
| cheap, and a few ounces is enough
| to last everyone in the family for
