the same amount of instruction could be given as would be the case in six months of intensive training.
 Like all other regular army officers who have appeared before the mili- tary committees, General Carter thought compulsory military service was the only means of fully insuring the nation against attack, though he believed it unwise to attempt to enact such a measure at present, saying that the young men of the country should be given an opportunity to come for ward as volunteers.
 Greater Number of Units.
 ''In much travelling about the coun- try" he said, "I have seen nothing whatever to convince me that our people are now impressed with the necessity of going to compulsory mil itary service. They never have been put under such a pressure by an en- emy as would bring them to agree to such cOurSe.'
 While General Carters recOmmen- dationS for the regular army COntem- plate about the same force as that proposed by Secretary Garrison, he has suggested a radical change in or ganization for arms that would pro- duce smaller regiments and therefore a greater number of units.

MILITARY SERVICE
 BILL IS PASSED
Committee of House of Commons En- dOIses Measure With Loud Cheers
 Credit Due Long and Bonar Law

London. Jan. 21-The military serV- ice bill passed through the committee of the House of Commons at Il o'clock last night amid loud cheers.
 Walter Hume Long, president of the local government board. in speech closing the discussion, said he desired to remove the impression that under this bill the government was creatlns a great monster in the form of military machine which would grao at any man coming within It's scope There was no intention that the war office should act with undue severity but on, the contrary, 1t intended to maintain the present system almost Identical but giving it a statutory position it had hitherto not occupied.
 Philip Snowden, the socialist mem Der of Blackburn, speaking as an op- ponent of the bill, paid warm tribute to the generous way the Dill had been piloted through the House by Andrew Bonar Law and MT. Long.
 MT. Bonar Law then expressed the grateful thanks of himself and MT. Long to all sections for the restraint shown in committee.
 John Dillon, nationalist, added that he had never seen a bill which might easily have led to passionate, heated debate, conducted through the House with greater skill or in a more con- manner, He thought that Premier Asquith had never shown greater skill than in leaving it's con- duct to MT, Long and MT. Bonar Law.
 The parliamentary labor party held a meeting in the House of Commons last night to discuss their attitude at the forthcoming labor conference at Bristol which will finally decide Ia bor's attitude on the cOmpulsion question.

DRINM HOT WAITER IF YOU DESIRE A ROSY COMIIPLEXION Says we can't help but look better and feel better
 after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best is to enjoy an inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous days waste, sour fer mentations and poisonous toxins be- fore it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom-
 lustile material in the form of ashes,
 so the food and drink taken each day. leave in the alim entary organs cer- tain amount of indigestible material which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck in only nourishment to sustain the body.
 If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your checks, to see your skin get clearer and clear- CT, you are told to drink every morn~V ing upon arising, a glass of hot wa ter with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste mater- ial and toxins from the stomach, liv- CT, kidneys, and bowels. this cleans ing sweetening and purifying the en- tire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Men and women with sallow sliva liver spots, pimples or pallid cora- pleXion, also those who wake up with coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acids stonl. ach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking andI are assured of very pronounced re- suits in one or two weeks.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purities and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside or gans. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more inn portant than outside cleanliness ba- cause the skin pores do not absorb e impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Any military policy adequate to the nations needs must recognize the fact that wars come suddenly and that there must be instant readiness to meet the at tack, said Major General William H. Carter, recently retired in a statement yesterday before the senate military committee

 illustrate Possibilities.
 Great Brltain's declaration of war against Germany and the Japanese attack upon Russia were cited as il- frustrating the possibilities.
 General Carter laid before the com mittee a report submitted by him to the secretary of war last April, before his retirement and while he was com mander of the department of Hawaii. It was prepared at the secretary's re- quest for his views as to a proper military policy for the United States. and 1t seemed evident, he said, that 1t formed the basis for the continen- tai army scheme now contemplated even to the name, which Mr. Garrison has proposed.
 Force of 131 ,5OO Men,
 General Carter recommended in- creasing the standing army to such an extent that mobile force of 131.- 800 men would be available in the United States; that the federal volun- teers be organized and trained on the basis of an infantry regiment to each congressional district and that addi- tional appropriations be made for the militia. He did not believe, however, that a period of intensive training for federal volunteers could be accom- plished. Instead he proposed that a colonel for each volunteer regiment be appointed from the regular army. and also n-cOmmissioned staff: that the troops be enlisted for two years and trained in shch ways as might be found practicable in each district. In that time, he said. about

 Discussing the English attitude towards the United States the "Chronicle' says:
