WRITES FROM FRANCE.
_____
The following letter was written to
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Farmer of Pine j
Bluff by Herman Tribue, who for-1
meily resided in Newport. He is
•bout nineteen years old and has been
in the service one year, having enlist-'
ed in Missouri. A later letter than
this told of his having been confined
in a hospital, his condition not being
serious, however.
“June 30, 1918.
“Dear Brother and Sister: I am
well at present. We are certainly j
having some nice weather here, and
the best of all is that there is no mud
like there was a few weeks ago. Tell
Bee to go ahead and write to me for
I like to read her letters. I am so
busy I hardly find time to write to
anyone. Be sure and send me a pic

Get the Habit of I
Drinking Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can’t look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.
Millions of folks bathe internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. “What’s an inside bath?”
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per
form miracles if you could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. It is in-;
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of intestines
of the previous day’s waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in 1
the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins j
which are then absorbed into the blood I
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul
breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou
ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, im-1
nnrl nil nnsta rtf dflmonfq
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who Bimply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation. I
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more
important to bathe on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.1
cannot read this letter as it is written
in the dark. We cannot light a lamp.
Hoping to hear from you soon, I am,
“Your loving brother,
“Herman.”
“Somewhere in France.”

place he went with a contingent ol

few weeks ago, writes the editor tc

then one hour after retreat,” Fred
says, “and, man, I sure have got some
appetite—never ate so much -in a!
my life.”
POPULAR COOK BOOK.
The ladies in Mrs. Jones’ Circle ol
the Methodist church have prepared
a cook book, which is one of the best
that has ever been produced. It
proves a good seller too, and those
who intend to purchase should do so
before the supply is exhausted, for
there will be but one edition.
Mrs. T. W. Johnson prepared the
copy for the printers and received
many compliments upon the orderly
arrangement.
These books are on sale at Price’s
Book Store or may be had by calling
pon Mrs. B. W. Hafner, Mrs. Henry
M. Owen, Jr., Mrs. J. V. Ridley or
Mrs. 0. W. Scarborough. Price 75c.
