WHEN YOU WAKE II
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting moro
food into stomach.
Says Inslde.bathlng makes any.
one look and feel clean.
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This IL vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impurt-,
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. II this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
It quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which ara
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, q,
glass OF real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in 1t,
which Is harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phOs-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store but Is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
and women who are accustomed to
wake up with q dull, aching head or
nave furred tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, sallow complexion, others who
have bilious attacks, acid stomach or
constipation are assured of pro-
nounced improvement In both health
and appearance shortly.

Urges VermOnters to
Save the Arbutus

Ernest l.. Rand, the y NJ C. A
secretary who is in st. Johnsbuiy thi,
week, contributes the following letter
to the Burlington Free Press:
When children and "grown-ups'
come from the woods with hands full
of albutus torn up by the wild roots
it is due to lack of instruction OF
thoughtfulness | have come to the
place where | will tell no one, how
ever close in friendship, where there
! is a good Stand-unless | know he
will snip with scissors or knife the
blossoms, and consider himself a
guardian OF one for the protection of
these hillside beauties.
Teachers may further the cause
Of Vermont patriotism by taking 4
few minutes Friday morning and
cautioning the children, placing upon
their shoulders the duty of protection
of the fowers-not tearing up roots,
using care in picking that the stems
be long enough to be useful, leaving
those too short. They can emphasize
picking only what they can use, leav-
ing the others for seed
Why not teach the beauty of flow
crs in habitat? Show the more hand
some setting where it grew.
Parents can emphasize the care Of
the flowers by example when out on
their walk, is it nagging to put in
just a word Of caution that they do
not pick fowers-later to be discard
ed, die and become loss?
| know of many places where y
years ago the arbuta club had excel
lent preserves Of arbutus, secret
with the club. but later vanished and
destroyed while others have flourish
cd in their untold privacy.
Either children and needless adults
must cease their wanton destruction
of the arbutus OF it will perish and 90
the way of the fringed gentian. We
shall have to hide them as we do to-
day, dreading the day when perhaps
some wanton will destroy them as
they have the beauty of many of our
birches.
1t is my wish that Friday of this /,
week before the flowers advance fur
ther from their retirement-teachers .
parents. scoutmasters and leaders, Is .
vii as many others intercsted-will .
take time to stress the above sugoeS-
lions. Surely the girls from the Blue
Triangle House on their Saturday
hike and hunt for the blushing arbu.
