HOT WATERFOR
SICK HEADACHES
Tells Why Everyone Shoul d Drink
Hot Water With Phosphate
In Ii Before Berakfast


Headaches are caused by auto-in-
toxication-which means self-poison-
ing. Liver and bowel poisons called
toxins, sucked into the blood excite
the heart which pumps the blood so
fast that it congests in the smaller
arteries and veins of the head, pro-
ducing violent, throbbing pain and
distress, called headache. You be-
come nervous, despondent, sick, few
erish and miserable, your meals sour
and almosht nauseate you. Then you
resort to acetanilid. aspirin or the
bromides, which temporarily relieve
but do not rid the blood of these irrri-
tating toxins,
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate In
it, drank before breakfast will not
only wash these poisons from your
system and cure you of headache, but
will cleanse. purify and fresten the
alimentary canal.

DRESSES

The Paris edict for Spring says Dresses
must follow the straight and narrow" path
to be ultra-smart. In other words straight and
narrow lines will prevail in the most popular
silhouette. The new styles are graphically H.

generally straight and narrow but there are
enough variations and a. multitude of individ-
ual touches to suit every taste. You will be
surprised at these extraordinary values at the
very start of the season.
