Foul Breath The old saying that "distance lends enchantment" was never more aptly to the point than when applied to those people • whoso breath is laden with evil-smelling and offensive odours. Many persons appear • mostv attractive at a dis-Jan.ce,.-.but produce a feeling of pity and disgust when close to, .-because of the condition cf their breath. For instance it makes little difference how beautiful a woman may be.' or how charming her manner, if ho'v breath is foul; her charm is gone, and she Is at a disadvantage whenever she comes in contact with other people. Foul breath in woman arc-uses in man a feeling of repugnance and a desire to get out of the company of such a woman as quickly as possible, and even women will avoid her. It is, therefore, important for every woman who values her personal attractions to take such care of herself that this unpleasant and unnecessary complaint is avoided or corrected. Men, women, and children who are troubled with this complaint "Will drive their friends away more rapidly, than with any other affliction. People do not realise their breaths are bad, because they are like those who are constantly employed among paints and varnishes—they get used to what is to others a most offensive smell. In nearly all cases this is due to Constipation and a Disorderered Stomach. A coated tongue, a slight headache, and feverishness, are sure signs that the digestive or* gans are retaining quantities of impurities from which the system should be free, thereby causing the breath to become charged with the foul odour. In Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills there will be found a searching, cleansing remedy which will drive the masses of decaying corruption out of the systen?.

MONDAY, 8.30 A.M. Some l?af;r.ction:- on a Boiling Copper. "Thtt copper's boiling"—this is the common Dlnasc ol carlv Monday, the housewife's call to the weekly task. Let us follow it with a question that is not so simple as it sounds : " What is it boiling for ?" Most people would answer. "Why, to boil the dirt out of the clothes, ofToiuse." (.^uit.e so, but for health's sake something inure than dirt has to be done away wii.li in the ho'iisc-bold. washing, namely, the ne'.-tis of infect ions <!iawisc. Infection sisuy be communicated to a whole city j:vici beyond it) from one single patient, of winch the smallpox epidemic is a case in point. It is due to tiny organisms, hardly visible through aV'jnicroiCope but intensely alive, thrown off in .the course of the disease. These float in the air or dust and drift to clothes and house linen as naturally as steel draws to a magnet; we call them " Gems," or seeds ol disease, because just as an ordinary seed grows to a plant, so a disease germ on a human body breeds disease; the only protection against germs is to destroy them. The question is: Will boiling, water and common soap do it ? Not always ; some disease germs may thrive, or even breed, in both. So we must use a cleanser that will not only clean clothes and house linen thoroughly, hut also kill all disease germs that have lodged in them. Fortunately ibi us, manufacture and science have combiiied to meet this want with Lifebuoy Soap. By using Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry the germ! of infectious diseases are caught and killed wholesale, because Lifebuoy Soap is both a perfect laundry cleanser and a strong disinfectant as well, and when the household clothing and linen are washed with it, disease germs find destruction instead of a refuge. Our crowded population doubles the risk of infection, Lifebuoy Soap reduces^it; but Lifebuoy Soap must be so used as to cover both cleansing and disinfection ; Lifebuoy Soap for the balls, Lifebuoy Soap for floors I and-walls, Lifebuoy Soap for kitchen and i scullery,© and when the copper boilsfcon j Monday morning, then let it be especially j and always Lifebuoy Soap for the day's ; washing.
