DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up with
a coated tongue, foul breath or dull,
dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour
and turn into gas and acids, you have a
real surprise awaiting you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately upon
arising. drink a glass Of hot water with
a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
il. This is intended to first neutralize
and then wash out Of your stomach, liv-
er, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines
all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour
bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimentary
canal
Those subject to sick headaches, back
ache, bilious attacks, constipation or any
form of stomach trouble are urged TO
get a quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from the drug store and begin en-
joying this morning bath. 1t IS
said that men and women who try this
become enthusiastic and keep it up daily.
II is splendid health measure, for it is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle OF bathing inside is not
new, as millions of people practice it,
Just as hot water and soap cleanse, puri-
fy and freshen the skin, so hot water
and a teaspoonfuI of limestone phos-
plate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an
inexpensive white powder and almost
tasteless--Ad

FARM MANAGERS BEING TRAINED
Disabled Soldiers Educated for Direction
and Control of Modern Farms
Are Sure of Tobs.

Washington, d, c., March "a large
percentage of men in the United States
armies coming from farms or semi-ru-
raj environment have raised an inter
esting question in the retaining of dis
abled men by the federal board for vo-
cational education, as to how the back
ground of agricultural information Of
these individuals can best be utilized.
The general impression is that when a
man has lost his strength his usefulness
on farm is at an end. The federal
board does not at all subscribe to this
and the course which has been evolved
on farm management" is proving one of
the most popular with those men who
have taken retaining
Farm management is the science of or
ganiZation and management of farm en-
terprises for the purpose of securing the
greatest continued profits. 1t is the
business end of farming. II deals with
farm organization methods, accounts and
credits, and is. therefore of interest to
all classes of farmers, including owners,
manager and tenants.
In agricultural affairs as they have
been carried on, the lack Of business
measures HAS DeeH d1ildAlHRt AUSOlule
Encouragement has frequently been the
cause of failure and abandonment of
farms. Variation in profits on farms is
more largely due to Encouragement
than unfavorabe seasons or fluctuation
in prices. Farming has become decidedly
business proposition and the federal
board believed that many farms which
because of mismanagement are unproft-
able, could, by reorganization, be stabil-
lied and developed into profitable and
lucrative undertakings.
Only 10000 farms out of 1851 600, &C
cording to the 1916 census, employed
managers. The small percentage of prof
its of inefficient management, of idle and
incompetent management, makes thous-
ands of farmers not living on their
places very DESTROYS to secure farm man
ayers capable of inducing farm manage
ment, and to meet this growing need the
course in farm management for disabled
soldiers has been evolved by the federal
board for vocational education, and indi-
cations are that the demand for these
we'll trained men will considerably ex-
coed the supply. Disabled men taking
training are allowed support fund Of
S65 per month minimum, all expenses
are paid and places found for the gradu-
ates. This training is mainly given in
the land grant colleges of the various
states.

man wireless message picked up here al
ludes to a threat made by General
Nudent, Marshal Foch's representative
ON the joint armistice commission at
Spa, because the Germans have failed to
turn over to the allies industrial and
agricultural machinery, The message
explains that German firms constructing
the required material have been unable
to complete deliveries because of strikes
and that q shortage of railway cars and
the destruction of railways near Erfurt
and Halle have also retarded the carry
ing out of the armistice agreement.
1t is said that trains filled with agri-
cultural machinery are standing on side
tracks between Erfurt and Breslau. This
machinery was collected in Silesia Sup.

Why Druggists Recommend
S#amp-ROOt

For many years druggists have
watched with much interest the remark
able record maintained by DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test Of
years. II is sold by all druggists on its
merit and it should help you. No other
kidney medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
