Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
•
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us fit.
Just as coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom
bustible material In the form of ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which if not completly elimina
ted from the system each day, be
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of left-over waste, toxins and
ptomain-like poisons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can’t get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
day’s accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject, to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels.

Evidence Against Defendant, Charg
ed With Assault With Intent to
Kill, Not Enough to Convict.
"Prosecuting Attorney Earl C. Ca
sey Wednesday, in the case of the
state versus Bob and Pony Weather
ford, directed the jury to return a
verdict of not guilty, evidence in the
case not being sufficient to warrant
a conviction. The case grew out of a
difficulty in which the Weatherfords
and Lawrence Duncan became en
gaged a few months ago east of
Swifton, Duncan being shot by Pony
Weatherford.
Other proceedings:
W. W. Campbell vs. H. C. Sanders
and S. Brundidge, possession of two
lots given defendants.
Boston Dry Goods Co. vs. Mrs.
Vdnnie Carpenter, judgment for
$175 for plaintiff.
State vs. Alex Stout, robbery, plea
of guilty, defendant paid all costs and
joined army.
A civil suit of Lucien Daugherty
vs. Southern Cotton Oil Co. was in
progress this afternoon. The plain
tiff has filed three cases against
the company for damages aggre
gating $60,000, which the plaintiff
alleges he sustained several months
ago as a result of a runaway, in
which his little child was injured, and
from which injuries he alleges the
child later died. As a result of the
runaway, caused by the blowing of
a whistle at the company's plant as
the mother and child were pass
ing in a buggy, Mrs. Daugherty al
so was injured. Gustave Jones
rc presents Mr. Daugherty and Stay
ton & Stayton the Southern Cotton
Oil Co.
The next case to come before tne
court will be that of John Masters
who is charged with dynamiting fish.
Judge Dene H. Coleman says verj
likely court will adjourn for the term
tomorrow (Friday), after having
been in session two-weeks, one of the
briefest in the history of the coun
ty. The term has been a most satis
factory one, and reflects great credit
upon the court officials and attend
ing attorneys.

Mrs. A. Bowie received a letter
Wednesday afternoon from her broth
er, Lon Simmons, whom the family
mourned as dead. A short tune ago
Mrs. B. F. Simmons was notified that
his son was missing in action since
Ju.y loth and this week another mes
sage came announcing that his son
had been wounded, degree undeter
mined, and following this three days
later, Iris sister had a letter written
ihe 20th of August, stating that he
would leave the hospital the next
day, and while the young man states
that he was slightly wounded, he has
been in the hospital since July, which
shows that his wound was no slight
one. The letter which is short, is
published with his address that h.s
friends may writ§ him.
“Dear Sister: I know you are
anxious to hear from your little Bud
dy, so will write you a line. Am just
firm now. However, have been in the
1 vi r i- — nnof “faur rlfiva. f
x
will go back to my company tomor
row. This is a beautiful -country, but
ancient looking. I must make m^
letter short as it is almost time for
taps. I was slightly wounded in
July but am proud to get back and
give the “devils’’ another blow. Love
to all. Your brother,
Lon B. Simmons,
Compny L., 30th Infantry,
American Exp. Forces.
Mrs. Bursott of the East Side has
received the following letter from
her son, Byron, whose many friends
at home will read his letter with in
trest annd rejoice to know he is well
and happy'—the same old boy in
France as when in the states;
“Somewhere In France.”
Dearest Mother;
Will write again; I haven’t had
a letter from you of course, but just
because mine has stopped, I don’t
want yours to. I have written you
several times so you wouldn’t worry
about me. Please don’t because 1 am
O. K., and all the boys are. Suppose
evedybody at home is 0. K. Hope so
at least. This leaves me well and in
a good camp and having a very good
time. Of course I miss my mail, but
guess I’ll get some the latter part of
this month.
I was working around in the kitch
en today, whistling and singing and
the lieutenant said “You must be
happy, ha! ha!” Just the same in
P’ranee as in the states.
I like this very well, but Of course
it isn’t anything like our own fair j
country. The people here treat us
the best they know how. We can’t;
talk to each other much and that is a j
great handicap. I have learned a
few words in French and suppose I’ll
learn more if 1 stay here any length
of time. O, say! I saw a couple of
the boys that came over in May. j
Sure was glad to see them and they
to see us. I was wondering in com
ing over, where I would spend my
twentieth birthday. Had you thought
about it ? I suppose it will be here.
Wish I could tell you, but I can't.
It’s a nice place though and I like it
fine. I think we are the first U. S.
troops here and we certainly are
treated nice.
Well, must close for this timet. Will |
write again in a few days, so good
bye. Love to all,
Byron.
The government needs your money;
ou need the stamps.

NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND.
Notice is hereby given that I, the
un’ersigned, as sheriff of Jackson
County, my virtue of an order of the
Circuit Court of Jackson County, Ar
kansas, entered on the 13th day of
September, 1918, in the case therein
Try Grandmother’s Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Almost everyone knows that Sago
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it ^t
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound,” you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, im
proved by the addition of other in
gredients, at a small cost.
Pon’t stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it eo naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one email
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and a
youthful appearance. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
