Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns. leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form OF ashes,
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which ii not completely elimin-
ated from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-ike pCisons are formed AID
sucked into the blood
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with "A teaspoonful OF lime
stone phosphate in it to wash out OF
the thirty feet OF bowels the previous
days accumulation of Doisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean. pure and fresh.
Those who are subject TO sick head
ache. colds. biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste
foul breath, backachc, rheumatic stiff
ness or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals. are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood. causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses.

BIC EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take glass of Salts before break
fast II your Back hurts or
Bladder bothers you.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kidney
trouble. because we eat too much and
all our food is rich. Our blood is
filled with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
oyerwork, become sluggish; the eli.
minative tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble. bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead: your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full OF sediment or you are
obliged TO seek relief two or three
times during the nigh: If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy. nervous
spells, acid stomach. or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces OF Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fam
Gus salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen.
eratlons to flush and stimulate cloEged
Kidneys; to neutraliZe the acids in The
urine so it no longer is source of ir-
ritation. thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in

Whitewater beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.

gigantic movement this is. Already
325,000.000 Seals have been printed
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents in every state
and territory of the Union from Alas
ka to the Canal Zone, from Porto
Rico to Hawaii, and even in the far
off Philippines. Advertising circulars
posters, cards. etc, to the number Of
several million. have also been distrl-
buted Not less than 100000 per.
sonal letters asking people to buy
Seals have been sent out. 1t is esti-
mated that the army Of workers,
nearly all of whom are volunteers, en-.
gagged in selling the Seals numbers
well over 100000. The advertising
and publicity devoted to the campaign
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. Every effort is being put
forth to sell 100,000,000 Seals, or only
one for every man, woman and child
in the United States This will
mean Sl,000000 for the anti.tubercu-
losis campaign in the United States.
over 1900 anti-tubercuosis associa-
tions OF the country derive their sup.
port from Red Cross Seals. If the
good work is to so on you must help.

The recent increase of wages in the
mills OF the American Wooden company
affects the operatives at Winooski
where the increase will amount to
$4,000 per month. Even with this in.
crease. however. the wages at Win.
ooski are less than in Bennington for
similar work. The steel trust made a
big splurge few days ago over an
increase in wages which in the aggre-
gate amounts to many Millions an
nually but the fact OF the case is
that the greater part of the operatives
affected were and still are rather
poorly paid in comparison with skilled
work in other lines, In the steel mills
there are a few highly paid men but
the average job there is not as good as
ono as one in backwoods sawmill
in Vermont There are still thousands
OF industries in the country where the
scale OF wages is low and the fault
with the Adamson law and other spec
ial efforts TO increase wages is that
they never reach the ones who stand
most in need Of an increase. The
stopping of immigration. the return OF
reservists and the high wages paid in
munitian factories has brought about
the curious situation in many parts
of the country CT ordinary day labor
getting better pay than skilled work
men in the same localities. This
tends to make the latter dissatisfied
even though 1t is temporary condi.
ton that will not continue after the
war ends

Monastir

The recapture OF Minastir Is not an
event of great military Importance. 1t
is at an end of the railroad. and in
view of the difficulties of road trans
port through a mountainous region is
not likely to be base for major
movement. AS near as can be dis
cerned its reduction is to protect the
left flank Of the Salonih front--to
make it impossible for Bulgar-German
forces TO break into northern Greece
while Sarrail carries on operations
elsewhere.
The successful seizure, however, is
notable as marking for the first time
in two years the successful election
of the central powers from place

true, was successfully attacked by the
Italians, but then the Italian offensive

significance.

the duration OF tho war are the opera

reduce the German offensive to
trench operations? That a mountain
barrier is not needed to bar progress
is sufficiently shown in France and
Galicia.
Ii the Germans achieve in Rumania
the end they seek the war will be
heightened at least two years. for the
Germans will be encouraged once
more and the allies correspondingly
discouraged. But that the fall of Ru-
