|Says 'glass of hot water with
' phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.
If you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue Is coated; if your
head Is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can’t get feeling
just right, begin Inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
. kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
p sweeten and purify the entire alimen
tary tract. Do your inside bathing ina
, mediately upon arising in the morning
' to wash out of the system all the pre
vious day’s poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body im
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less. except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assurad
they will become real cranks on tha
subject shortly.

J. W. STEWART OFFERS TO
TRANSPORT BOOZE FROM CO
LUMBUS AT FABULOUS PRICE,
GETS BIG MONEY AND SKIPS.
CONCORD, Dec. 21.—Several
hearts have been made sad here by
the disappearance of one J. W.
Stewart, who lived out in the Hollon
ville section during the past year.
A few days ago he was circulating
among his friends and acquaintances
here, offering to transport whiskey
from Columbus at sl6 per gallon. He
came from Columbus there, so of
course knew the ropes, and of course
was a good fellow, so quite a large
sum was placed in his hands in pre
paration for celebrating Christmas in
the usual barbarious way.
But the old story is told once more.
He disappeared with the cash. Sev
eral of his victims went to Columbus
yesterday looking for him, but return
ed none the wiser as to his present
haunts.
