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

Happy, bright, alert-vigorous 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 grati- flying change would take place.
 Instead of the thousands of sick ly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complex ions; instead of the multitudes of nerve wrecks,' ''rundowns," brain fags'' and pessimists we should see virile, optimistic throng of rosy checked people everywhere.
 F An inside bath is had by drink ing, each morning before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen- ing the entire alimentary canal be- fore putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, biliousness, nasty breath, rheuma- tism, colds; and particularly those who hase 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 await ing those who practice internal san itation We must remember that inside cleanliness is more important than outside, because the skin does ,ot absorb impurities to contamin- lte the blood, while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

 At the office of the Board of Health the following statement was issued:
 There have been almost no new cases of influenza either Tuesday or Wednesday,, Since the situation. sis apparently not getting worse, it is considered best that children from those homes where there are no cases of influenza should attend school. They will be better off in school than in any other place they are likely to be if they are kept out. The school is cooperating with the Health Department to see that all children from homes in which there are cases of influenza do not come to school until the danger is past. Therefore, for the present, we feel that children from homes where there is no influenza should attend school

WEAK SPOTS IN ACT
Word "Intoxicated" Again to be Crux
of Bitter BattIe-Issue Awaited
With Interest.

| Washington, Jan. THE brewer:

advice of counsel. will resume the

| after January 16, and will continue
/ 10 make it and offer it for sale, unless
stopped by the Government through
action taken in the courts.
Il can be stated upon the highest
authority that this program has been
advised after conference between the
leading lawyers who have led the
fight for the brewing Interests and
that these interests have decided to
follow it. notwithstanding the opinion
Of the United States Supreme Court
yesterday 70 the effect that 2.75 per
cent. beer is Intoxicating and there
fore is barred by the Volstead En-
forcement act.
The opinion rendered by the high
est court dealt solely with the enforce
ment measure as it applies to war
lime or statutory prohibition and has
no bearing whatever, the brewers
counsel hold, upon that part of the
enforcement act which applies to con-
stitutional prohibition.
1t is morally certain, of course.
that as soon as the breweries reopen
their plants and undertake the man
ufaoture Of 2.75 per cent bec", the
Government will proceed against
them. This will mean tina. new test
case invoiging the right to proauc
drinks containing not more than 2.73
per cent. Of alcohol will be brought
and that this phase of haticnwid
prohibition eventually will rcacn the
Supreme Court for construction of
the Volstead statute in its relation tc
the Eighteenth Amendment.
The brewers have been advised. !:
IS learned that they are not prohibited
from manufacturing 2.75 per cent
beer by the Constitutional amend
nent. This amendment, it is col::end-
ed by their counsel, prohibits th5
manufacture, sale and the impor'2tion
Of Intoxicating" beverages. Beer con-
tanning not more than 2.75 per cent
Of alcohol, as they maintain they ar
prepared to prove, is not Intoxicating
and, therefore, does not come With
the prohibtory clause of the Eigh-
seenth Amendment to the Const:tu
tion, according to the advice received
