Tap on Track Delay
Central Passenger

An iron tap found upon the track
near Eufaula this morning delayed
the Central of Georgia train due
here from Montgomery at 2:07 this
afternoon 20 minutes. The time lost
was partly made up before the train
reached Americas, and Special Agent
Megahee left on the northbound
train to investigate the accident. 1t
was reported that the tap was placed
upon the track maliciously and with
intent to wreck the train. Only the
pony" trucks of the engine were
derailed, due to the fact that the en-
gineer say the obstruction and slowed
down somewhat before it was struck.

WHEN YOU WAKE

Wash the poisons and toxins from

one look and feel clean,

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material Is not eliminated day by day
1t quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a.
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.

these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening

an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men

have bilious attacks, acid stomach or

New discoveries are being con-

to take advantage of the wonder
full accomplishments of men of SCI

dicap of disease.
Your eczema, letter, boils, pim-
pies, acne, scaly skin eruptions,
and burning fiery irritations that
cause so much discomfort by their
terrifying itching, come from a
tiny disease germ in your blood,
which multipies by the millions.
These germs find some weak spot
where they can break THROUGH the
skin and set up their attack, and
if YOU have ever had any form OF
these skin disorders, you know
what real torture is.
The reason these disorders ap-
pear so stubborn and hard to get
rid of, is because they are not
given the proper sort of treatment,
In other words, the irritation and
itching becomes so intense that the
patient thinks only of relieving
this discomfort, instead of direct
ing his efforts toward getting rid
of the cause of it all. Hence the
constant use of lotions, salves,
soaps and ointments can make no

But why be content with mere

Wouldn't you give almost any

Then throw aside at once such
