ATHENS HERALD READERS ARE SUBSTANTIAL CUSTOMERS FOR ATHENS HERALD ADVERTISERS.
Letters to Santa Claus
Santa Claus will make his customary rounds among the-
children of Athens and Clarke county and in accordance
with our annual custom we invite all the children to write
their letters to old Santa in care of The Athens Herald and
we will see that they are delivered to the Children’s Friend.
Every child in Athens and vichiity, rich or poor, is invited
to let its wishes be known through The Herald. This de
partment is 3imply a medium through which the children
may communicate with old Santa, who sometimes is doubt
ful as to what a child has set its fondest hopes upon.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Talla why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
in It before breakfast
. Headache of any klnd/U caused by
anho Intoxication—which means celf-
polsoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, aliened Into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pomps the blood so fast
that It congests In the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio
lent throbbing pain and dlstreae, called
headache. You become nervoue, do-,
epondont- licit, feverish art miserable,
your meals soar and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which tempor-
arlly relieve but do not rtf the blood of
these Irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon*
ful of limestone phoephate In It, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only waeh these poisons from your sys
tem-and euro you of headache but will
cleanee, purify add freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of lbncitone phoephate. It Is In
expensive, harmless ag. sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unplessant.
ir you aren’t feeling your beet,. If
tongue la coated or you wale up with
bad taste, foul breath or lava colds.
Indigestion, biliousness, conetlpatlon
. or sour, ‘Bold stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water euro to rid your
system of toxins and poisons. -
Results are qnlck and it la claimed
that those who continue to flueh out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a mlscrablo moment.
