AN INSIDE BATH
MAKES YOU LOOK
AND. FEEL FRESH
Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.

Physicians the yorld over recon-
mend The inside bath, declaring this
is of vastly more Importance than
outside cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the bl>od, causing i'll health, while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men md women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of hot water with teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from tie stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
materai, poisons, sour bile and tox-
ms; THIS cleasing, sweetening and
purifying the alimentary canal be-
fore sIing more fooo.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have dull, aching head, sallow com
plexion acid stomach; others who
have lious attacks or constipation
should obtain a quarter pound OF
limestone phosphate at the drug
store. This yill cost very little but
is sufficient to show the value Of in
side bathing.

paid no attention to it," asked
Hicks. 1--WE were not then trying to
outstrip Great Britain. Why should
we do SO now?"
1--WE should not be Influenced by any
particular nation replied Daniels,
"but If we are going back to the old
conditions in the world then our
country must have a navy unsurpass-
ed by any navy in the world"
Representative Butler. Pennsyl-
vania, pointed out that the new Brit
ish ambassador to the United States,
Sir Auckland Geddes, was quoted
today as saying that Great Britain
would not try to outstrip the United
States"
Daniels replied that he did not be-
lieve it was official, but intimated
that Great Britain was encouraging
her colonies to build naval vessels.
With the construction program pre-
viously authorized in 1916. the addi-
tional program recommended by
Danielse today would mean an expen-
'diture Of $555 100000 during the next
few years. i
Daniels, under questioning, said
