Long years ago old Santa came With reindeer, in a sleigh. Slid down the chimney, left some toys. And then he drove away. In later years he rode a wheel And came in through the door. ’Twas out of date for him to use The chimney more. A motorcycle next he bought— How his fat sides did shake! He had behind him, firmly tied, His pack—all he could take. And after that his auto car Stopped way out by the gate. He told his chauffeur he’d be back BefoYe so very late. This year I’m sure we shall not hear His chugging at the lane. He’ll swoop down on us from above! He’ll come by aeroplane! And after that? Oh, goodness knows Just how he’ll come! 1 guess Perhaps some time he’ll send his gifts To us by wireless. —Elizabeth Lowrie. NOTICE.

I Hopes Women Will Adopt This Habit As Well As Men Glass of hbt water each morning help* us look and feel clean, sweet, fresh. Happy, bright, alert —vigorous an< vivacious—a good clear skin; a natural, rosy complexion and freedom from illness are assured only by clean, blood. If only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of the morning Inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, «women and girls with pasty or nimbly complexions; Instead of the multitudes of ‘‘nerve wrecks," “rundowns,” “brain fags” and pessimists we should see a virile, optimistic throng of rosycheeked people everywhere. An inside bath is had by drinking, each morning before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous 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, biliousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particular/ those who have a pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone 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 iu the thirty feet of bowels do.
