Washington, Feb. 9.—In reporting
tlio administration's railroad bill to
tne house today, Chairman Sims said
the house Interstate commerce com-
'ifttee had amended the measure to
est tho final rate-making authority
In the president because under the

mission couldn’t make the neces-
pry rate changes which unified war

To look one's best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an Inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous day's waste, sour fermenta
tions and poisonous toxins before It
is absorbed Into the blood. Just as
coal, when It burns, leaves behind a
certain amount of Incombustible ma
terial in the form of ashes, so the
food and drink taken each day leave
In the alimentary organs a certain
amount of Indigestible material, which
If not eliminated, form toxins and
poisons which are then sucked Into
the blood through the very ducts
which are intended to suck in only
nourishment to sustain the body.
If you waut to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning up
on arising a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In
It, which Is a harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys ana
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
tract before putting more food Into
the stomach.
Girls and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples, or pallid com.
plexlon, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taBte, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stom
ach or constipation should begin this
phosphated hot water drinking and
are assured of very pronounced re
suits in one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos
phate costs very little at the drug
store but Is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water cleans
es, purifies and freshens the skin oo
the outside, so hot water and lime

gans. We must always consider that
Internal sanitation Is vastly more im
portant than outside cleanliness, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
Impurities Into the blood, while th?
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexion should
just try this for a week and notice
results.

who trade here. There Is a shortage
of wheat In this section, the recent
