WHEN \ YOU WAKE { ! : UP DRINK CLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash poisons and toxins from system before putting
 food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside be- fore breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly important because the skin pores do not ab- sorb impurities into the blood, caus- ing illness. while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food taken into the stomach. nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste is not eliminated day by day 1t. quickly ferments and generates pcisons, gases and toxins which are absorb he'd or sucked into the blood str4a4,,, through the lymph, ducts which should suck only nourishment.

 A splendid health measure is to drink. before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with q teaspoon full of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons from the stomach, liver. kidneys and bowels: thus cleansing. sweetening> and freshen- Ing the alimentary canal before eat ing more food.

 More than 9000.00O gallons found its way into the hands of bootleggers last year
 The bootleggers receive $40 or more per gallon for this whisky which would put into their pockets something like $36O, ,OOO, 900. But most of the real whisky which boot leggers get is diluted before being sold and thus made to bring in double profit

 Bridge Anchorages..

Completion of the grading of the Aux Lake loop section Of Glacier Highway, at the present rate of progress, should be accomplished by the end of the present working seal son. according to Colonel James G. Steese, president of the Alaska Road Commission, who visited that project this week. The glacier end of the road should be connected with the Aux Lake end in about 30 days at Montana Creek. he said.
 This will virtually finish all the grading on the loop, only a section of about one-half mile remaining on the north bank of Mendenhall River which will be done after the bridge is erected across that stream. The gravel work will still remain to be completed, he said, but it is now certain that the loop route will be open for all traffic early next sea son. e 'rtt".s s,

RAINBOW AIDS N new IDEAS
Shades Are Combined in Profusion
In All Frocks Of the Spring
M~ode-LarQe and Small
Hats.

Striking and unusual color cOmbina-
tons are appearing in spring and sum-
mel clothes. Fashions cannot remain
stationary. 1t is all very well to talk
about finding the most becoming style
and adlering to it, observes a fashion
authority, but We must have a change
in dress as in everything else. If Zach
woman held continuously to the type
most becoming to her o. clothes
would become as uninterestins as
mans. Individuality would disappear.
We would not only lose interest In
dress, but likewise lose interest In
making ourselves appear at our best
at all times.
The psychology of clothes is ex-
tremely interesting, and much deeper
than is generally supposed. A grow
ing tendency toward simplicity of cut
in dress has been very marked. The
simple styles are preferred to any
others at the present time.
From among the numberless types
that designers have attempted TO
launch In order to create a demand
for something new, which always
stimulates business, the woman who
buys and who eventually decides the
fashions has unfalteringly chosen the
straightline dress, with nothing new
about il as far as silhouette is con-
cerned.
Simple Silhouette in Lavish colors.
There must inevitably come a day
when this will pass from the fore
ground of fashions unless the history
tionized. but from all appearances
that day is still in the distance.
Since dreSsmakers have been COM
PEELED by popular demand to hold a
silhouette in vogue. for some time
they have resorted to embroideries
and very lavish trimmings. in order to
get new effects. They spared no effort
to make these beautiful and alluring.
Clothes were literally covered with
them. But beautiful as these embroid-
cries were, drawing their inspirations.
as they did, from the art. both ancient
and modern, Of many nations, they ran
