PhysIcian Denounce. Twilight Sleep

Editor of the Washington Herald: 1t
seems strange that just at the time when
the United States government is about to
put in operation the most drastic laws
for the regulation of the sale of habit
forming drugs. that such a large pro-
portion of good people should be going
wild over the so-called Twilight sleep"
which is nothing more than morphine
medication and in its most dangerous
form. The twilight sleep tablet as used
today is to eventually create an army
of 'dopes" without number and it seems
to me that the time has arrived when a
host OF good. well-meaning women who
do not know what they are talking about
should be informed that their energies
are being put to a dangerous cause. The
formula If used as directed often calls
for from IL to grains of morphine,
given within six to ten hours, and is in
variably followed by the birth Of a NOR
phine-doped infant and records show that
many die or never fully recover.

THE OPEN FORUM.
Americas Attitude Toward Great
Britain on the Flag Question.

Editor of The Washington Herald: II
we are looking for pretexts for trouble,
II may be that we are justified in nag
GinS Great Britain about the use Of our
flag by unsrmed vessels in time of stress.
even though we cannot deny that other
nations. including the United States, have
under such circumstances used the flags
of neutrals.
II we are not looking for pretexts. then
We are, to our injury, naGging about nom
essentials and putting as much emphasis
on them as upon grave invasions OF our
rights. maGnifying in one case and min
imizing in the other
Suppose Great Britain in good nature
takes the reprimand in good faith and
orders her ships not to even carry on
board the customary United States en-
blem. and suppose the Lusitania on its
next trip. say. with United States mail.
with the Secretary OF the Treasury and
his family. the American Ambassador TO
France and his family. and hundreds OF
other Americans on board, enters the
Irish Sea flying only British colors, and
in violation of international and moral
law is torpedoed and sunk and all on
board perish.
Would the fact that our property was
so illegally destroyed and our people
murdered under the British nag diminish
the crime or the cause for war? Would
il make any material difference to US If
both the boat and flag. carrying our
property and such people, belonged to
the United States?
United States mails and the far greater
number OF Americans going to Europe
are carried by English and French steam
ers. and no belligerent has the right to
sink these steamers without giving the
passengers and the crews a chance for
their lives. Therefore the main thing
which concerns US is the threat to un-
lawfully destroy and sink these vessels.
Yet our government solemnIy abjures the
British government not to permit them
to raise our flag in order to diminish the
chance Of illegal destruction OF American
citizens.
Should submarine. by misuse OF our
flag on a British ship, be prevented from
such ship, could Germany be
heard to complain that she was wronged
in being prevented from doing an act
forbidden by international law and good
morals? HOMER GUERRY.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In 1t before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
ntoxication-which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing Vlo-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call
ed headache You become nervous,
respondent, sick, feverish and miser-
able, your meals sour and almost
nauseate you. Then you resort to
acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides
which temporarily relieve but do not
rid the blood of these irritating
toxins
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t,
drank before breakfast for awhile,
will not only wash these poisons
from your system and cure you of
headache but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the entire alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, If
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, bilouSness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the
phosphated hot water cure to rid
your system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.

LABOR TROUBLES AMONG
BRITISH MUNITIoN WORKERS.
Most of the Differences Arose from
Minor Local Friction.

London, Dec. Is, 1881 p. m.-The
preliminary report of the committee
which is Investigating the labor trou-
bles among the munition workers in
the Clyde district was made public
today by David Lloyd-George, minister
of munitions. The committee finds
that, while the munition workers have
certain substantial grounds for COM

arose from minor local friction. exag-

dealing with it.
The committee recommends minor
alterations in the law to provide for

urges that no employer should have
