Can't Change Situation.

Washington, March 22.-The sink ing of the Healdton. adds another chapter to the story of the war being waged against American shipping by Germany, and which will be laid be- fore congress by the president at tho special session he has called for April ?.
 It can cause no immediate change inr the situation. Since the destruc- ton of three American vessels last Saturday and Sunday, administration officials have considered that a state of war existed, and it is to consider this situation that congress has been summcSed, to give authority to the president for action beyond the mere arming of merchantmen.
 The Healdton was an unarmed yes sel, having le/ port before the presi- dent authorized the navy depart ment to furnish guns and gunncrs to merchant vessels. Her fate serves to heighten the profound interest with which the government and the pub lie awaits the time when an Ameri- can vessel, prepared and ready to send a shell into a hostile subma- rine on sight shall erter the War zOne

 washes out poisons.,

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up with out headache, backache, coated tongue or nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week.
 Before breakfast each day, drink a glass of real hot water with a tea, spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els the previous days indigestible waste. sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before put ting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the blood and internal organs. Those who are subject to con- stipation, bilious attacks, acid stom- ach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.-Adv.
