Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

To see the healthy bloom in your
face, to see your skin get clearer and
clearer, to wake up without a head
ache, backache, coated tongue or a
nasty breath, in fact to feel your
best, day in and day out, just try
inside bathing every morning for a
week.
Before breakfast each day, drink
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and 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
invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases and acidity
and gives one fine appetite for
breakfast.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to demonstrate
that those who are subject to constr
patton, bilious attacks, acid stomach,
rheumatic twinges or whose skin is
sallow or pallid, that one week of
inside bathing will have them look
ing and feeling better every way.

MORAL NECESSITY TO BUILD
To Maintain Happy and Prosperous
People on Farms We Must I'm.
prove Rural Conditions.

<By J. DENNY O'NE1L. Pennsylvania
Highway COMMISSIONER
The problem confronting the high
way department in these abnormal
times when labor and material are
so scarce and so high, is this: Shall
we go ahead constructing new roads2
l am convinced that good roads are
an economic as well as moral ne
cessity. We must have food, and If
we want boys and girls to stay on the
farm to produce it, we must dig them
out Of the mud by building roads
so they can get to market or to rail-
road.
There are places in Pennsylvania
where it costs more to haul farm
products to railroad station than
it does to pay the freight to France.
AS in the past, the hope Of the future
from a moral point Of view, is to
maintain happy, contented and
prosperous people on the farms and
in the small towns and villages. They

PUT STOMACH in
FINE CONDITION
Says Indigestion Results From
an Excess of Hydro
chloric Acid

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
US that Indigestion is caused by
Hyper-acidity, meaning, there is an
excess of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete d.
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in
a can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the sotmach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy,
lumpy misery in the chest, we belch
up gas, we eructate sour food or have
heartburn, fiatulence, water-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts
and take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose,
it is important to neutralize the acid
ity, remove the gas-naking mass,
start the liver, stimulate the kidneys
and thus promote free flow Of pure
digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lennon juice, combined with ithia
and sodium phosphate. This harm
less salts is used BY thousands Of
people for stomach trouble with ex-
cellent results.

men and commercialized vice on the
farms. These are the exclusive prod

keep the people away from the cities.
we must give them good roads and
do what we can to improve living con.
ditions In rural communities.

ADVANTAGES Of GOOD ROADS
Property Made to Flow into Any
Locality by Construction Of Sub
stantiaI Highways.

The way to make prosperity flow into
any locality is to build roads that
VIII last and not have to be done over
every few years.
With good roads farmers can deliver
all their products directly to towns
within radius of so or more miles, and
by making more profit themselves they
reduce the high cost Of living for other
people; for merchants are able to take
advantage of new sources Of supply to
buy their stocks under favorable con-
dit1ons. and sell them to their custom
ers at lower price.
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through perishable goods spelling
ION the railroads because Of freight
delays and complications, writes G. w.
Morrison in Farm Journal. Single
barge firms have actually saved more

than 100000 yearly by using motor
trucks; and the trucks will undoubted-
ly contribute largely to organized i'm
provement Of roads.
Good roads are a paying investment.
Local authorities In cities, towns and
counties should act without delay to
meet the growing national and local
demands before trade goes in other d.
rections. It is almost impossible to
get back the lost advantage after other
districts have won 1t.
Good roads bring trade and in
crease property values In commu-
htty. They attract homeseekers and
