Hot Water for
 Sick Headaches
TeIls why everyone should drink hot water wlth phosphate
 In t before hrsakfast

t+ .f a Headache of any kind is caused by auto-intoxication-- which means self-pOisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing violent, thr0bbing pain and distress, called headache. You become nervous, Respondent, sick. feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acatenilide, as- pirin or the bromides which tenn porarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins.
 A glass of hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t. drank before breakfast for awhile will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal.
 Ask your phafmacist for a quar- ter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensive. harmless as su- gar.

The usual percentage of choice
or prime cuts in the meat is about
26 per cent of the whole carcass.
The other IA per cent must be made
to cover the cost Of these cuts. Con-
ditions and methods Of living have
changed. Our modern homes are
models of comfort and luXuries. We
have heated homes, luxurious bath
appointments, electric lights and
elevators to carry us up and down
stairs. These modern conveniences
relieve US of the fatigue and dis
comfort of the old-time days; there
fore we do not require the heavy
protein food and diets of our grand
dads day. In those days only the
fit survived the open tireplaces with
wood for fuel. 1t was necessary for
folks of that time to eat plenty of
meat and rich, heat-producng foods
so that the body would radiate suf-
ficient heat to enable them to do
their work.
Now all this is changed. Most
dwellings and offices are heated in

nation on the face of the earth, and
for this reason we lead the world
with the largest number Of the
kindred troubles Of the liver and
kidneys. Even John Bull, with his
great love for beef, fails to equal
this country in this trouble.
Many noted physicians agree that
the liver and kidneys of the average
American are at least twenty years
older than his body. Think this
over and then gather the family to-
gether and plan a menu that uses
meat frequently instead Of daily.
Keep in mind that frugal and wise
eating keepeth a man in good
health. This does not mean that one
must starve or deny oneself suffi-
cient food. There are many foods
that, if we would only eat abun-
dainty of them, will repay US by
giving body of glowing health and
vitality; that will know no physical
weakness and will enable the owner
to combat the battles of life with
success and thus live to ripe old age.

winter in a way that makes one
very comfortable. People wear the
same weight clothing all the year
round. Now, if the food supplied
provides an overabundance of the
amount Of protein it cannot be used.
Therefore it must be eliminated by
the kidneys. This oNertaXes these
organs and wastes food that is
vitality needed to feed starving
Europe.
How can you prevent this? BY
eating meat or its equivalent not
more than twice daily. Keep this
in mind whether you be man or
woman. If you eat meat twice
daily you should walk not less than
two miles, if you are engaged in
working indoors. People engaged
in hard, laborious outdoor work arc
the exceptions to this rule, as are
also youths from fifteen to twenty
four years of age.

Dear Cynthia--Please print this:

Sailor Boy. did you read the letter
that 'one Who Knows" wrote? 1t is
all right to keep STEADY company
with the girl you are engaged TO marry.
A girl should never keep company with
any man unless she knows his inten-

THE qualities of a good business
man and those of a good house,
wife are identical. Both should
have a sense Of values; should give
prompt attention to details; should
have good judgment in buying, and
have the ability to quickly adapt
themselves to circumstances.
just as every successful business
man keeps actively in touch with his
business interest through the trade
journals and the knowledge Of the
markets, SO, too, must the housewife
learn new and up-to-date methods
and new uses for foods. She
should keep a strict and economical
watch over the most important
nay, the most vital-problems of the
home; namely, the expenditure Of
money for food.
The actual cost Of food today need

she will make it her business to see
that every bit Of the food be used
to supply her family with their daily
sustenance.
Now, let US get this clearly in
our minds: The day of cheap meats
is gone. Several reasons may be
put forth TO account for this. First
and foremost is the steady rise in
price of meat. This is due to the
fact that the large ranches in the
West, where the cattle could get
cheap and natural food, have been
cut up into mailer farms. Second,
the prohibitive price of farm labor.
Third, the increased cost of trans
portation. Fourth, the demand of
the housewife for the finer cuts of
meat.

MRS. L. J. T.-Try using your

and place on a baking sheet and
bake in a moderate oven. Cool and
then cover with cloth wrung out

to prevent drying off. The addition
of extra flour and too much knead-
