Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long. 80 let's make
out stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest we'll, work we'll, sleep
well, and look we'll. What glorious
condition to attain, and yet. how very
easy it is If one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold. foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices In the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
tomach, liver and bowels the preyi-
GUS 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 In
yigorating. 1t cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste ana
acidity and gives one splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting 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; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the rhug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone ropnounced CRANK on the
subject of inside bathing before
breakfast.-Adv.

Priests Fought as Poilus.

Yesterday on the Rue st. Honore 1
met two priests, one wearing an empty
sleeve, one wearing a mechanical leg
and both wearing the Croix de Guerre.
"Were you in the war as chaplains?"
l asked.
"No," replied the one-legged priest,

Cotton Production Welcome.

Mesopotamia has always grown
some cotton, which modern methods
may improve. OF this material may
have been the veil with which Rebek-
ah covered herself at her first meeting
with Isaac, as she journeyed under
the guidance of Abraham's servant
from Mesopotamia to Canaan to be-
come Isaac's wife. Cotton competi-
ton between Mesopotamia and Egypt
would be particularly attractive. And
cotton is one good thing of which
wars tatterdemalion, the world of to-
day cannot have too much.-Bvston

bridegroom places the "tali," or insig-
mia of marriage, consisting of piece
of ribbon with a gold bead suspended
upon 1t, around her neck and ties the
knot. Beforo the knot is tied the
BRIDES father may refuse consent UNI

riage is indissoluble, for the Brahmins
do not recognize divorce. The Par
sees bind the hands Of the bridegroom
with a sevenfold cord, seven being a
sacred number. The ancient Cartha-
ginians tied the thumbs Of the betroth-
ed with leather lace. With the Lat
ms. on the contrary, part of the cere-
mony was for the bridegroom to loosen
(solvere) the brides girdle (nodus her
culeus), not to tie 1t.
