DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and FEST
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
latest application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that It
is as necessary TO attend to internal
sanitation of the drainage system 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 stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as q
daisy by opening the sluices Of the
system each morning and flushing out
h whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing,. sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast drink a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from, the
stomach. liver and bowels the pre-
vious days indigestibIe waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins: thus
cleansing, ~sweetening and purifying
the entire -alimentary canal before
putting more food into. the stomach.
The millions Of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble. rheumatic
stiffness: others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly COM
plexions are urged to get \ quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
q pronounced crank on the subject OF
internal sanitation.

Butter Production
+ In Siberia Small

vladivostok, March 2e.--Butter
production in Siberia has. nearly
stopped, according to local newspa-
pers, owing to a government monopo-
ly which fixed a price lower than cost.
Most of the :west-Siberian butter pro-
,ducers turned to cheese making in
consequence. Peasants and cattle
wner are finding it Improbable to
keep their herds and are selling them.
The monopoly On butter introduced
by the Kerensky government and per-
petuated' by the Bolsheviki and other
governments since, has resulted in
breeding. After the monopoly. became
effective butter accumulated in the
hands Of the authorities until they
were alta loss to know how to dispose
OF 1t. Great quantities were used as
machine lubricant.
Today, as a result Of decreased pro-
duction, the price has increased in
central Siberia to.6 X ribles. aFpound.

The veterans declared their action
was not political, but in accord with
their policy of 100 per cent American
ism. They said they were opposed to
engaging in any entangling alliances
and We're unwilling to sacrifice any de-
gree of Americanism for the sake of
the League of Nations.
Col James D. Bell of Brooklyn was
unanimously elected commander-in-
