Public Advertisement Of Missourian's
Family Trouble Century Ago.

From tho BoonpiHe Republican.
People are not in the habit of paying
advertising rates to get their family
troubles In the newspapers these days,
but such was common practice 100
years ago. The following unique "ad" is
taken from the Missouri Inteliocnoer Of
June s. 1924:
ELopEMnNr.
I. Reuben Warson OF Howard county,
Missouri. having with Just cause and
good provocation eloped from the bed
and board Of my wife. Rebecca warson.
do hereby forbid all persons from har-
boring. trusting or beating her on my
account. for ! am resolved to pay no
debt and to heal no wound that she may
contract. Having for a goodly reason
lived together In harmony and great
good fellowship, this scvering of our
conJugal bonds has cost me many a tear
and numberless soporiflc potations. But
entertaining as do tender regard for
the preservation of the rich covering
which nature has clad her kindly throb-
bing pericranium, also, of the inestirna-
Bile value of my own pathetic eyeballs,
l have thought IL most advisable that
wo should tear ourselves asunder. o
Rebecca, as stenre said unto the fly he
released from his window. Go. poor
devil. go, there is room enough In tho
world for both thee and me"-therefore
when thou readest this set thy cap for
another and more happy swain. while
! roam through the world slipping honey
from the bitter sweet flowers that chance
may strew my path.

Thle excellent, common-sense
health measure being
adopted by mllIIons.

Wash yourself on the inside be-
fore breakfast like you do on the
outside. This is vastly more i'm
portant because the skin pores do
not absorb impurities into the
blood causing illness, while the
bowel pores do.
For every ounce Of food and
drink taken into the stomach near
ly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out of the body.
If this waste material is not elimi-
mated day by day it quickly fer
ments and generates poisons, gas
es and toxins which are absorbed
or sucked into the blood stream,
through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to
sustain the body. :
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day
a glass Of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, which is harmless
way to wash these poisons, gases
and toxins from the stomach, liver
kidneys and bowels; thus cleans
