Clear, Peachy Skin
Awaits Anyone Who
Drinks Hot Water
--------------------
Says an inside bath, before break-
fast helps us look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.
--------------------
Sparkling and vivacious—merry,
bright, alert—a good clear skin and
a natural, rosy healthy complexion
are assured only by pure blood. If
only every man and woman would be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place. In stead of the thousands
of sickly, anemic-looking men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy com-
plexions; instead of the multitudes of
"nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain
fags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy-
cheeked people everywhere.

An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea-
spoon of limestone phosphate in it
to wash the stomach, liver, kid-
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre-
vious day's indigestible waste, sour
fermentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.

Those subject to sick headache, bil-
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds, and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain a quarter pound of lime-
stone phosphate at the drug store
which will cost but a trifle, but is
sufficient to demonstrate the quick and
remarkable change in both health
and appearance, awaiting those who
practice internal sanitation. We must
remember that inside cleanliness is
more important than outside, because
the skin does not absorb impurities to
contaminate the blood while the pores
in the thirty feet of bowels do.—Adv.

TENN. MAN WRITES
OF THE BOLL WEEVIL
--------------------
Counties of that State of High-
er Latitude Than Here in-
fested with Cotton's
Enemies
--------------------
ANDERSON, Jan. 5—(Special)—
County Demonstration Agent Byers in
in receipt of a revised map showing
the progress of the boll weevil
throughout the cotton belt. The map
was published by the government dur-
ing the last few days of December and
furnishes an interesting study.

Mr. Byers says that Middleton
Tenn., is one-half degree higher in
latitude than Anderson county, and
already the weevil has invaded that
section. He received a letter from a
friend of that place, which reads in
part, as follows:

"As to the boll weevils, they are
here in great numbers but came too
late in the fall to do much damage
this year.

"From the best information I can
get they are not over ten miles north
of the Southern railroad. The people
are very much alarmed over their
coming."

The town of Corinth, Miss. has ex-
actly the same latitude as the city of
Anderson and the following letter
from a friend in Corinth tells of the
ravages there:

"The famers in this county had
been preached to so much about boll
weevil and none had shown up, that
they were very much surprised when
they found a great deal of cotton in
the southern and eastern portions of
the county suddenly cut to about one-
third of a crop on account of the
weevil. The rapid spread into the
county was no doubt caused or help-
ed by the storm of last spring blow-
ing the rain and the dampness of the
season added their development and
increase, etc.

"To the south of us they believe
what they see and are turning rap-
idly to other crops—velvet beans, soy
beans, corn, clover and greens—and
are fast stocking up on live stock.

"Lee county around Tupulo was
hurt badly this year both by weevil
and rain. Some estimate, that there
was only an average production of 10
per cent of their usual crops — but
they were somewhat prepared for the
weevil with livestock. Our farmers,
—the majority—all think that we
are too far north and the winter
weather is too severe for the weevil
to survive and so there will be plenty
of cotton planted here to feed a great
[arm yof] weevil next year, I fear. I
am strongly of the opinion that the
weevil will go as far north as cotton
is grown and that is the only limit.
But, on the contrary view, I call your
attention to an editorial in the "Pro-
gressive Farmer,"—Dec. 16th, issue,
which for fear you do not get the Ala-
bama, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Arkansas edition, I have clipped and
am herewith enclosing.
---------------------------------------
SUFFRAGE SPEAKER
WILL TOUR STATE
--------------------
Miss Eudora Ramsay, of Green-
ville, organizer and speaker for the
National American Women's Suf-
frage Association, will deliver an ad-
dress at a suffrage meeting which is
to be held at the Anderson's Woman's
College at Anderson next Friday
night. This is to be the first of a
series of rallies which Miss Ramsay
will hold in South Carolina and
others are planned to be held later
in Greenville, Colombia, Charleston
and other cities of this State. She is
detailed to cover South Carolina dur-
ing the month of January.

Miss Ramsay has just returned
from Virginia and brings with her
encouraging reports of the cordial
receptions tendered the suffrage
workers in the Mother State during
the past month. She seemed highly
gratified at the favorable manner in
which the people of that State are
taking hold of the suffrage move-
ment. Everywhere they are lending
ears to the appealing voices of the4
woman's cause, said she.

Prior to her tour of duty in
"Grand Old Virginia" Miss Ramsay
had been speaking in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
