 in Morning and
 Drink Hot Water
1els wtV everyone should dsoas hot water each morning
 before beeak1aek

Why is a man ana woman, half the time. feeling nervous, despondent. worried; some days headachy, dall and unstrung; some days really in- capacitated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside bathing, what gratifying change would take place. Instead of thous ands of half-sick, anaemic- looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy healthy. rocy-cheeked people every where. The reason is that the hu- man system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accu- mulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else 1t ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary. as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, cSAOiV tAC AAAC VIII OuA OI IS IL duu hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, be- fore breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in 1t, as a harmless means of washing out of the stom. ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the iLdigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious at. tacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning in- side-bath. A quarter pound of lime stone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone its cleans. tng, sweetening and freshening ef- feet upon the system.

Famine Beats Back the Sword.

1 ,OOO MILES BY AUTO IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Rev W S. Macintire formerly of Will limantic and Rockville, who has writ ten the Bulletin a letter describing a trio of l,00t miles through South Da- kots by automobile, part of which was publtshed Thursday concludes his letter as follows
 From the buffalo ranch at Prairie we rode many miles through a country given over 10 gazing. The grass looked dry and the beds of the brooks were with out water The cattle and horses seem ed to be in good condition notwithstand- ing the dry season. No crops were cul- tivated and there were very few houses and no Irees to he seen. Our first stop lSns place was Hayes, a little group of houses on hilltop and in from the main trail, We found a store post office, hotel, small church and less than a dozen dwelling houses, there are but fifty residents in the town. Here we found well of good water. The only shade we could find was in a carriage look our dinner. Our last stopping place for the day was at Phillips, where we csmped for the night on the fair grounds. Some Of our predecessors had besn care less about building fires and an officer of the fair association forbid Us build ing ops We appealed 10 the president and wers permitted to build our fires

within restricted areas, We did not pitch cur tent but occupied the buildings used during the fair, some sleeping in the exhibition building, some in the barn and others in the open air. We found good water and free fuel One of our cars had broken down and we had to send away for parts. Leaving our crippled car and two men to bring it on later, we broke camp and moved on passing through Cottonwoods and Quinn, we soon had our first view of the Bad Lands
 They loomed up as great pereipiteus cliffs. As we approached them they be- came more diseuct in outline and we were soon in the midst of them. They are unlike any thing we ever saw and are very properly named. They are barren of all vegetation and consists of mounds from few feet to many in height. There are steep cliffs as well as mounds Some one has said: This area doubtless comprises q section of the original formation of the earth where erosion has had little effect" While they are ugly in the main they are very interesting and there are many places where the variegated co'0ring of the hills and the shaded strata of the big walls make a really beautiful ef- feet There is no area of the earth's surface where there have been found so

much of fossil remains Museums in all the civilized world have formations from the Bad Lands, usually showing the remains of hippopotan1us, rhinoceros or such animals which have not for ages inhabited the North American con tinent. We had about three miles of this scenery. The village of Wall is just west of the Bad Lands. Crossing the Cheyenne River we reach Wasta, passing through Underwood and Box Elder we reach Rapid City, one hundred and eighty
 miles from Pierre.
 Rapin City is the gateway to the
 Black Hills the con~nercial and railroad center of one of the richest and most productive sections of the United States. There are five ways by rail to enter and depart; and four national highways from east and south to Yellowstone and Gla- cier Parks and the Pacific coast It is on Rapid River, the greatest trout stream of the west. Here is located the famous School of Mines that draw stu dents from as far away 2s China One of the most important industries is lum- bering. The Warren Lamb Lumbering Co. ownes thousands of acres and millions of efet fstanding timber and employs hundreds of men. It is a city of enter prize with commodfous hotels modern ! ASC well stocked stores. and modern paved streets It is the center of the Black Hills ] alfalfa field region and is the most Im- 1 portant alfalfa seed market in the United States We passed through the city to , the public tourist camping grounds four miles beyond, passing the Indian school on the way.
 I About one and one half miles from the city we saw Hangman's Rock It 1 is on the top Of a high hill. the story l is that of a young man caring for a 1 flock of sheep on the hillside. Two men ! approached him with two horses and asked him to care for them while they 1 went on an errand. Seon after the men and charged the young man with steal | ing the horses. He protested his inno- cence. They would not believe him and hanged him to tree on the hilltop.
 1 We found a splendidly equipped camp ing ground, beside a running bl coll fur nished with tables, free firewood spring water, electric lights, toilets and swim ming pool. We camped here two nights ] waiting for our crippled car. Using our autos we went up the banks Of the river as far as we could, about three miles
 and then walked two miles cn the rail-
 road track through Rapid Canyon tc Dark canyon. Here we 1ound wonderful scenery. Entering Dark Canyon we took
