we beg for some sort of puzzle, toy or
mouth organ; anything to keep the
man S mind occupied, and to turn his
attention from the horrors of war to
the kindly friend who has thought of
him, thousands of miles away in the
United States.
You cannot imagine what a thrill it
gives one to see a train of wounded
men come in. Waiting to receive them
are the French officials, and the
stretcher-bearers. just before the
train stops the men divide, and up
come the American boys, marching two
and two. They pass through the line
and 90 direct to the train, for it is
they who, through their gentleness,
have earned the right to lift the
mangled forms from the cars.
Everyone, from the most illustrious
general to the humblest wounded.

DRINK HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMIPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel one s
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning TO flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
lions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount of incombustible material
in the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leaves in the ali
mentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, forms toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment
to sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass Of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels,
thus cleansing, sweetening and purify
ing the entire alimentary tract, before
putting more food into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimples or pallid complex
ion, also those who wake up with
n coated. tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are
assured of very pronounced results 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, purifes and freshens the
rkin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
portant than outside cleanliness. be
eaus the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood, while the bowe
pores do.

REVIEW OF TOWN LEAGUE.
Successful Season Assures Continuance
Next Year-Batting and Fielding
Averages Baserunners.

The town league baseball season,
which closed Labor day and which in
many respects is regarded as the most
successful enjoyed here for many years,
was particularly noteworthy in that it
gave the youngsters an opportunity 70
break into the game. With another
season s play they will be better than
the average found in town the size
Of Hinsdale.
When a town league of four teams
was first talked of the general verdict
was that cit couldn t be done, but it
was done, and so satisfactorily that
there ism t any doubt about a confirm
alton of the league next season. If
credit is due any one person for pro-
noting the league this year it falls to
Spiero Latchis, who last spring was
most enthusiastic in his belief that the
plan would succeed and brought pro-
ceedings to a starting point by calling
a meeting of fans, who organized into
an association. Financially. the league
did Well as it ended the season with
a balance in the treasury and no assess
ment was made at any time.

more important of which follows. For

went through the season with fewer
changes in its lineup than any other
team, which in all probability helped
much in its success. The four leading

-Sympathize."

In the evening at Mercy hospital you
hear from all over the house the little
bedtime voices, and the sound blends
into something sweet and dear which
hardly forms itself into words. To you
who have not heard it, it would seem
the strangest sort Of music, coming
from all the wards and rooms and
balconies around you-on the lower
floor, on the upper, and sounding up
and down the stairs wherever you
mi ght be. 1t is just the quiet little
chatter Of many, many children
ready for sleep, and the doctors and
nurses have heard it every night for
20 years, and they wonder why it is
with child love SO ready to respond to
u call like that Of little Helen Keller,
the crowded wards at Mercy and yet
so little known to those who say-"I
Sylnpathize. "-Mercy's Messenger.

BEST THEATRE.

Monday-All the excitement of the
track runs through William Fox's
new photoplay of the turf, "Sport-
ing Blood" Dorothy Bernard and
Glen White are the stars of this new
picture. Miss Bernard plays the part
of Mary Ballard, whose brother has
been ruined through the manipula-
tons of Dave Garrison Ode Witt C.
Jennings), notorious figure on the
turf and in gambling houses. Mr..
White plays Jim Riddle, who has his
sisters score to settle with Garrison.
Riddle and Mary combine to revenge
themselves on the racing king. Gar
rison becomes infatuated with Mary,
and she, realizing his intentions, says:
of I'm worth winning, play the game"
Then she bets herself against $10,-
900 that Shooting Star, Garrison's
horse, will not win. She has her own
horse at home, Bay Belle, which re-
sembles Shooting Star closely. By
clever manipulation, she manages to
change the two horses, runs Bay
Belle as Garrison's horse, and Shoot
ing Star as her own.
The result is that the horse running
for the girl wins. Garrison is ruined,
and forced to leave the turf forever.
Mary and Jim Riddle are successful.
