Ind 1 DRINK HOT WATER || : BEFORE BREAKFAST I Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill. If you are accustomed to wake up j with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas aftd acids, you have a real surprise await ing you. To-morrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phesphato in It. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and ' purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipa tion or any form of stomach trouble, *ire urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug ■tore and begin enjoying this morning inside bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu siastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for It is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, be cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing Inside is not new, as millions of people prac tice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate acts on the stom ach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an Inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless. Use Telegraph Want Ads FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG .TELEGRAPH! ' MARCH 2, 1917.

CORNS ACT LIKE A PUSH BUTTON Tells why they are so painful and how to lift them right out. If you push on an electric button you form a contact with a live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn It pushes lta sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow. Just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freeione. This will cost very little but is suffi cient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instant ly. and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, root and all, without pain. This drug is harmless and never Inflames or even irritates the sur rounding tissue or skin.

MAN AND MANNERS By Beatrice Fairfax How many of UB think about our manners? And yet Isn't It a true say ing thnt manners make the man and lack of tbem the fellow? Think If you will how often you Introduce gracefully one friend to an other. We are all supposed to know that the gentleman is Introduced to the lady, no matter what his rank may be, never the lady to the gentle man. For instance, you would say "Miss James, this is my friend Mr. Swift," but not "Mr. Swift, this is my friend Miss James." Remember to present young people to their elders and single persons to married. Many persons wonder whether to shake hands on being Introduced or simply to bow. If the introduction is formal a bow is sufficient* But If the stranger is to become a friend give a hearty grip. Ladles have the handshaking privi lege. A gentleman doesn't offer his hand first. It is assumed always that a man Is honored by an Introduction to a woman. This is why the latter need never riße it she happens to be sitting when the introduction is per formed. But she always rises to meet one of her own ex, and a man is bound to get up for any sort of In troduction. It is easy to cultivate good manners —and it 1B profitable. As the world often judges us by the cut of our clothes, so it judges.ua by our man ners. Then why not play the game by knowing the rules? Good manners cost nothing, and etiquette Is easy to learn. The learning Is a wonderful invest ment.

Will Never Be Without This Simple Laxative Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Relieved Her Baby When Nothing Else Would. Little Max Pendergrast is now four years old, and a fine healthy boy. When but a tiny baby, in fact almost from birth, he suffered a great deal from constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl W. Pendergrast. Red Key, Ind., heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, ob tained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly correct this condition. Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin has saved them foom calling the doctor many times, and that she will never be without a bottle of it in the house to use when needed. She found it equally effective as a laxative for herself and other members of the family. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin pleasant to the taste, mild in action and positive in effect. It does not gripe or strain, and con tains no opiate or narcotic drug. It is the ideal family laxative, mild and pleasant for baby, yet acting quickly on the strongest constitution.

SCHELL Home Treatment for Coughs Catarrh t Deafness Public Health day Nation-wide Crusade CJ General directions for correcting these com mon ills. Every citizen should aid in work. Slowly but surely the truth is forcing itself upon leaders in tho fields of po litical economy, social welfare and phil anthropy that the inefficiencies and weaknesses even the sins and im moralities of mankind are due in large measure to ills of the physical body and gradually the world is awakening to the knowledge that if we applied to the problem of improv ing the public health and preventing disease the same energy and treasure now directed to preparing for and prosecuting legal murder between na tions, more lives would eventually be saved than have been sacrificed in all the wars of Christendom. Washington dispatches reveal that the real purpose behind the proposal that 25-eent meals be served at tho White House for one day was to focus attention on the plan to have a Public Health Day on which the housewives of the Nation would give their families 25-cent dinners from scientific menus in order to pro mote a study pf food values that will add to the healthy of tho households. Berlin Again Promises to Release Americans Taken on Yarrowdale Washington, March 2. Germany, in a note delivered to the State De partment to-day by Dr. Paul Rit.tar, Swiss minister, promises the release of the Yarrowdale prisoners on March 7, saying quarantine regula tions will have been complied with by that date.

TO ATTEND INAUGURATION With the Commonwealth band of 40 pieces, and 200 members, the Cen tral Democratic Club will go to Washington, D. C., to-morrow. The Harrisburgers will leave at 2.30 In the afternoon, and will aprtlcipate in the inaugural parade Monday. The local club will head the first brigade of which Governor Richard J. Manning of South Carolina and staff will com mand. Ilisl substitutes be sure to ask for Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's signature and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can b® obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Cald well, 456 Washington St., Montlcello, Illinois. This work should be followed by a na tion-wide crusade for home treatment with authoritative instructions for the correction of common ills like colds, coughs, grip, catarrh and its attendant head noises and deafness. Every read er of this paper can aid in this move ment by clipping out this article now and passing along the information that these ills may be speedily relieved by four tablespoonfuls a day of a simple home-made syrup of hot water, one quarter pint, four ounces sugar, added to one ounce of Parmlnt (double strength) which may be obtained from practically uny druggist for about seventy-five cents. The absence of a cotfgh, clearing of the nostrils and tubes leading to the inner ear organ isms as well as relief from dropping of phlegm in the back passages of the throat, point to removal of the cause; and ability to hear again as well as ever should result from following for a reasonable time these directions which are designed to be for the constitu tional correction of the blood. / 15
