ABANDONING THE PRIMARY.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Idaho
they have abandoned the direct prl-
mary after experimenting with 1t Tor

result in getting the best men elected

the election by the people or deie-
gates to state and county conventions
in which the nominations are made.
That gives the people direct right TO
saw who shall act for them, which is
"a proper SAFEGUARD against what may
be called political boss rule. But the
convention so made UP OF represen-
tatiye men can look candidates over
and pick out the man to I'LL the varl-
Gus Offices.
That is much better than the pres
ent haphazard system when man

sane asylum can get his name on

and wisest man on the list, depend

chance. The primary laws, which
were at one time so much coveted
to defeat the politicians have served
TO do what they were believed to
stop. The politicians of the profes-
sional classes, the men who are for
ever going about and getting them
selves advertised with all sorts OF
cheap devices and schemes, are the
ones who get the nomination and

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
says glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps u fit.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind certain amount OF incombus-
tible material in the form Of ashes. so
the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount OF indigestible ma
Fterial, which If not completely elimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions OF bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass Of leftover waste, toxins and
Ptomain-like poiscns are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonfui OF limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and tox-
ms and to keep the entire aiimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject TO sick
headache. colds biliousness. constipa-
ton, others who wake up with bad
matte stiffness, or have sour, gassy
stomach after meals, are urged to get
quarter pound OF limestone phos-
phate from the drug store, and begin
practicing internal sanitation This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone an enthusiast on the
I subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing. be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing
poor health, while the bowel pores
do. Just as soap and hot water
cleanses, sweetens and freshens the
skin, SO hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach. liver,
kidneys and bowels.
