FROM LOT LINE
TO LOT LINE
As City Owns All of Street II
Should Clean Sidewalks
Itself.

The city claims the ownership OF
the streets from lot line to lot line
and all distractions on the sidewalks
from news stands to snow are there
with its permission. II rents space on
sidewalks at It's own sweet will. II
should, therefore. keep the sidewalks
as we'll AZ the rest of the streets clean.
But It does not. The money that the
city should spend on the cleaning Of
dirty sidewalks Is wasted on $4,000. 900
worth of unnecessary Job holders.

 Mir. Rhoy writes from Rochester Minn, where he now is receiving at tention at the famous hospital oper ated by the Mayo brothers. Doctors there who have diagnosed his case say that his trouble was a poison ir his blood and that it will take him from a year and half to two years to get it entirely out of his system He is at the present time taking treatment and the doctor in charge of his case claims that he would be able to work in few weeks.
 Mir. Rhoy got in touch with rela tives at St. Paul who were very glad to see him and when he told them what had been done for him by MT Gross, assisted by the people of Ju neau, they wished to extend their most sincere thanks for the favors extended while Mir Rhoy was in the community.

WHEN YOU WAKE
 UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WAFER
Wash Poisons and Toxins From System Before Putting
 Food Into Stomach

Wash yourself on the inside be- fore breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more i'm portant because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried |out of the body. If this waste is not eliminated day by day it quick ly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lympth ducts which |should suck only nourishment. A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast, each day, a
 glass of hot water witSl a teaspoon
 full of limestone phosphate in it,
 which is a harmless way to wash these poisons from the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the ali
 mentary canal before eating more food.
 A quarter pound of limestone
 phosphate costs but very little at
 he drug store, but is sufficient to
 make anyone an enthusiast on in- side bathing.
