Jump from Bed' in Morning and Drink Hot Water tTslls why everyone should drink hot watsr each morning before breakfast) 1*V' Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried some days headachy, dull and unstrung some days really In capacitated by Illness. If we all would practice Inside bathing, what a gratifying change would tafoe place. Instead of thous ands of half-sick, anaemic looking eouls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every where. The reason is th»t the human system does not rid Itself each day of all the waste which It accumulates tinder our present mode of living. Ftor every ounce of toed and drink taken Into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forma ptomaine like poisons which are absorbed Into the blood. Just as necessary as It Is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will barn bright and hot, so we must 4ach morning clear the Inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of Indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and "women, whether st«k or well, are ad vised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a class of real hot water with a teaspoonMI of limestone phosphate in It, as a harmless. means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the Indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal before putting nacre food into the stomach. Millions of people Ing 5ur it's for log tan on »n mr ,th V on let i* vwbo bad their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, V4d stomach. Memos dam and dW less have become real cranks about the morning Inside-berth. A Quarter pound of limestone phosphate wlll not cost nntch at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to wyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

MIXED IN .WITH POLITICS Presbyteiy Endoraed One Man and Appeal Waa Taken Claiming It Could Only Endorse An Issue. At the meeting of the brotherhood of the Westminster Presbyterian church, held last evening at the hn^ie of N. T. TOlcox, Dr. IS. B. Newcotrb, moderator of the judicial commission of the Iowa synod, told of the action of ttis commission in reversing the action of the presbytery of Des Moines which- endorsed E. T. Mere dith for governor. The Judicial com mission held that while the presby tery could endorse an issue or a principle, it had exceeded its author lty in endorsing the agent of the issue or principle. An appeal has been taken to the general assembly of the church next May. The Des Moines presbytery, Dr. Newcomb said, has passed a resolu tion endorsing Meredith as the dry candidate for governor, and condemn ing W. Li. Harding. A member of the presbytery from Albia claimed that the presbytery had exceeded Its power in this' and he appealed to the meeting of the synod. He held the presbytery should deal with ecclesias tical things and not matters of state. The synod appointed a Judicial com mission composed of seven ministers and five elders to look into this and to pass judgment. The commission had for its moderator Dr. E. B. New comb of the Westminster church here. The eommlrtion heard the evidence and the law in the matter and ruled that the presbytery had exceeded its authority granted under the laws of the church, it is possible to endorse an issue or a principle, but an excess of authority to endorse any one per son representing that principle or Issue, or supposed to be so repre senting It There waa no review of the decision by the synod, but an appeal was taken to the general assembly, which will decide the issue In May. It is generally believed the assembly will uphold the Judicial commission's action. There were about fifty members of the brotherhood present last evening. There was a musical program and refreshments were served. BENJ. BRINKE PASSES AWAY Former Resident of Keokuk Died Sud denly at Fort Madison, Iowa, Yesterday.
