BRONWOOD BRIEFS
Give WEEKS NEWS
TWO SAD DEATHS OCCUR. MISS
JONES AND MR.. CHAPMAN
UNITE IN MARRIAGE.

The entire town was shocked and
saddened Tuesday morning when the
news was flashed around that Mrs.
Sam Murray had died very suddenly.
She had been in declining health for
a year, but was able to attend to her
household duties, and death was not
expected. Mrs. Murray was the
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Arnold. She was a lovable
Christian character, and numbered
her friends by her acquaintance.
The parents, sisters, brothers, hus-
band and six-year-old daughter, Eu-
nice, have the sympathy of their
many friends. Among those out-of-
town who attended the funeral were
Mr.. and Mrs. Young Blackstock, of
Cottonton, Ala; Mr.. and Mrs. Amos
Murray, of Fort Valley; Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Murray, of Sylvester
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Murray, of Abb
beville, Ala; Mr.. Watts Murray, of
Griffin; Miss Elma Parrish, of Ma
con; Mrs. Ben Arnold, of Wray City;
Miss Pauline Gurr, of G. N. l., Mil
ledgeville, and Miss Wilmer Gurr, OF
Dawson. The funeral was conducted
by Rev. J. B. Griner at the Metho-
dist church.

Hopes Women Will
Adopt This Habit
As Well As Men
Glass of hot water each morn
ing helps us look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, Advantageous and
vivacious-a good clear skin; nat
ural, rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. If only every
woman and likewise every man could
realize the wonders of the morning
inside bath, what a gratifying change
would take place.
Instead Of the thousands of sickly,
manufacturing men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes of
nerve wrecks" "rundownS," brain
flags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
checked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast,
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
aeys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
lamentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bill
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate at the drug store
which will cost but a trifle but is
sufficient to demonstrate the quick
and remarkable change in both health
and appearance awaiting those who
practice internal sanitation. We must
remember that inside cleanliness is
more u important than outside, be-
cause the skin does not absorb impur-
tiles to contaminate the blood, while
the pores in the thirty feet Of bowels
do.
