Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking a
glass of hot water before
breakfast.
j We’re not here long, so let’s make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well. what, a glorious
condition to attain, and j ■!, how very
easy It Is if one will only adopt the
: morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
day’s indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and
acidity and givea one a spienaia
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who lare
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly complexions are urged to get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject of inside-bathing before break

NO LEGS, HIMS;

Artist With Barnes’ Circus Registers
For Service Here, and Writes
Better Than You.
Tliere are plenty of people with a
> perfectly good writing wing who can
hardly recognize their own name af
ter the attempt to put it on paper,
but Alfred A. Pilgrim, with Barnes
circus, does not belong to that lot for
two reasons—first, he has no writ
ing wing; second, he can write his
name better than any of you. Alfred
is legless, he is armless—just how he
got that way we do not know, but we
do know that he is happy, carefree
fellow and some scribe.
Pilgrim made his way in a rolling
chair to the county court house this
morning and registered for military
duty. Members of the local board
were wondering how young Pil
grim was ever going to sign his name
to his questionnaire. He showed
them. Holding the pen within the
grasp of the short stub near
his shoulder, he placed his name on
paper instantly and in grand style—
the best scribe in the house.
Pilgrim lives in Los Angeles, and
is an expert penman. He says he
expects to be drafted into the army
for that reason.

LLOYD HUS
OIESJN HCIIIII
It is with general regret that our
people learn of the death in France
of Lloyd Brosieus, which occurred the
latter part of July. For a short
while only he was with the shoe de
partment of S. Hieinemann, but en
listed with the Marines from his
home at Carthage, Mo., and was sent
to France last December. He had
written a friend, Miss Corinne Mos
by of our city, just a few days before
his death, that he had spent his
'birthday, Easter Sunday and Christ
mas day in the trenches, but hoped)
by those next memorable days to be
at home in the good old United
States. It casts a gloom of sadness
over all when the news reaches us
that our brave American boys have
gone over for. the last time, sacrific
ing their lives for our freedom.
The following letter to Crossland
Brosius, a brother of Lloyd Brosius,
who was killed in Frahce, is in re
ceipt of a letter notifying him of
the death of his brother. The letter
is from a comrade of Lloyd’s, and
the letter was forwarded to Miss Co
rinne Mosby of this city, the friend
mentioned1.
France, Aug. 11, 1918.
Mr. C. O. Brosius,
Chicago, 111.,
Dear Mr. Brosius:
No doubt you have already been
notified of Lloyd’s death. Being a
very close friend of his and having
heard him speak of you on many
different occasions, you would like
to hear more than just the plain not
ifications from Headquarters.
Lloyd was hit while making an ad
vance at the head of his section.
He died before he reached a base
hospital. He was buried in a woods,
the grave being- well marked. I have
the exact location according to our
Graves Registration Bureau.
It may seem hard to give Lloyd up,
Mr. Brosius, but there is one conso
lation that he met his death as every
true American would have it—on
the Battlefield going Over the Top.
There were four of us who were al
ways together and I am the only one
left. It makes one feel repl badly
to think that all these men must go
out in such a tragic manner.
Please tell the young lady whom
Lloyd was so fond of that she can
be proud of her hero. There never
was a finer young man or a better
soldier. He had the making of a
good officer and was a credit to the
corps. If I can be of any further
assistance do not hesitate in wiiting
me. I remain
Sincerely,
George D. Laurell.

81st Company, U. S. Marine Corps,
