Another advantage that the more
intelligent are taking into considera-
ton, is that by the time the conscript
men report for training, the men who
go with the National Guard organiza-
tions will have learned the rudimnets
of military training and should q
large list of officers and non-commfs-
stoned officers be taken from National
Guard organizations to train and drill
this new army they will then be in
line for promotion in their own or
ganization. .>l
When it is realized that out of
every 5000 men, approximately 500
arae officers and non-commissioned
officers, the advantages of enlisting
at once in one of these organizations
can readily be seen.
Men desiring to take advantage of
this opportunity should apply at once
to one of the officers of the local
companies. Make application at
once. for by waiting until the organ
ization YOU desire to join holds its

sented TO become a member of a local
company.

London, April so. - Heavy fight

Reuters correspondent at British
headquarters telegraphs to-day. The
Germans are continuing 70 bring up

southern slope of Greenland hill.
Continuous fighting is in progress
around the RoeuX chemical works.
In general way" continues the
correspondent, the situation this
morning along the front of the at
tack which began at ,laybreak on
Saturday is that we sold the German
front line from the point where the
Baileul- Biache loop line crosses the
trenches northwest of Vavrelle to the
fork in the Oppy line between that
place and ArleuX. Beyond this fork
we hold the German support line
for a length of about 1900 yards.
Thence our front continues just east

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring re-
search is the recommendation that
it is as necessary to attend TO in
ternal sanitation of the drainage sys-
tenn of the human body as it is to
the drains of the house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
fell duh and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache. stuffy from a
cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, ae.d
stomach. can, instead. feel as fresh
as a daisy by opening the slIices
of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the in
ternal poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone. whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins: thus
cleansing. sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stom-
ach is wonderfully invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one a splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your
breakfast the phosphated hot water
is quietly extracting a large volume
OF water from the blood and getting
ready for thorough flushing of all
the inside organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble. rheumatic
stiffness; others who have sallow
skins, blood disorders and sickly
compilations are urged to get a quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little. but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
snbtect of internal sanitation.-Adv.

sustain its ghastly sacrifices the
longest.
However momentous the issues
which hang on the bloody struggle
in France, they are insufficient to
hold the attention of the German
people who are facing a situation at
home fraught with even more tre-
mendous possibilities. on the eve
of the great general strike planned
for May day the German press and
leaders are displaying a feverish ap-
prehension as to what the morrow
will bring forth.
Fear Big Strike
The majority Socialists are ener-
getically supporting the government
in its efforts to cajole or threaten the
workers into refraining from strik-
ing. Even the radical minority seems
10 be frightened at the possible re-
suits of the agitation it has fostered.
Some of the radical newspapers are
reported to have launched an
eleventh hour appeal in an effort to
avert the strike, fearing that in SOW
ing the wind they will reap whirl-
wind that will shake the foundations
of the country.
Austria and Sweden are two other
storm centers where May day may
evoke popular uprisings of far
reaching effect. In the face of the
brewing storm word comes that the
Hungarian government has declared
itself in favor of important demo-
cratic reforms. on the other hand
the Austrian emperor is reported to
have refused the resignation of Pre-
mier Tisza, iron man" of the dual
monarchy and bulwark of Pan-Ger-
manlSm. Another puriOuS and n
explained item from Austria Hun
gary says that in Bohemia, long a
hotbed of disaffffection, all German
papers have been suppressed.
All Europe Confused
The entire situation in Europe ap-
pears to have reached one OF those
confused stages where conflicting
news makes the relative importance
OF events uncertain and obscure, a
situation intensified. by the increas-
ing rigors of the censorship in all
countries. The military command in
France is under fire and there are
reports in the Paris press that ;he
appointment of General Petain as
chief of staff heralds many other
changes among high officers.
Outside of Europe interest centers
on the possible course of Brazil and
China. Dispatches from Peking say
that the Chinese republic will prob
ably enter the war against Germany
within two weeks. The Brazilian
congress meets on Wednesday and
will then decide on peace or war.
In the meantime, Brazil has issued
a decree of neutrality as between
the United States and Germany
which may have a bearing on Bra
zifs future action.

NEW PUPHSCAN
HELP COUNTRY
Good Suggestions Made by
Westmoreland People Re-
garding Gardening

To suggest of how schools and
other institutions can assist in pro-
viding the labor so urgently needed
in order to increase the farm-food
supply, the committee of public safe
ty has made public the regulations
adopted by it's local committee in
Westmoreland county. At the in
stance of the latter the school. au-
thorities of Monessen have consent
ed to ALLOW high school students to
work on farms without losing their
school standing.
In order TO systematic such en-
ployment and to protect the inter-
ests of both parties to the arrange
ment, farmers applying for volunteer
workers are required to sign an
agreement containing the following
conditions.
1. That transportation to and
from the location of the employment
shall be paid; and suitable board and
lodging provided.
2. Boys from IA to 16 years of
age to be paid 75 cents per day; boys
over 16, 81 per day. Where boys
travel to and from their work daily.
they are to receive an extra allow
ance of 60 cents per day.
8. on Sundays, when boys remain
on the farm, they are to do necessary
Chores only, for which they are not
ehtitled to compensation. but full
compensation is to be paid for rainy
week days if the boys remain on the
farm.
4. Two Sundays and three week
days per month are to be allowed
Off ii the volunteer worker so de-
sires.
These boys" says the committee,
ARE volunteering at less wages than
most of them could earn in the
stores and mills. They are undertake
ing this service as a patriotic duty.
Not many of them have had much
farm experience, but we believe they
will respond to intelligent teaching.
The present high prices of commodi-
ties IS bound to continue even if
peace should he declared in the near
future, so that the extra work done
on the farm by the boys should prove
profitable"
on his part the student is required
to sign the following pledge, which
bears the consent of parent or guar
dian:
FARM Nolunteer-Student's Pledge
In response to President Wilson'S
appeal for large farm crops, | here

One Killed and Five
Burned by Explosion of
Acid Tank at Mt. Union

Mt. Union. Pa, April 80. - one
of the acid tanks exploded at the
Aetna Powder works on Saturday
and caused a loss of thousands of
dollars worth of property. and also
badly burned six employees. David
Sollenberger. of New Grenada, one
OF the men burned. died after being
brought to Mount Union and another
was reported dead last night. The
others are all seriously injured. SOL
lenberger worked here only one week
and had just received a letter from
his wife urging him not to remain
at the powder works and stating that
she was afraid he would be hurt.
The nitric acid fumes caused a
brown cloud of smoke to hang over
the entire works and surrounding
community for about two hours, and
people had to stay away from the
fumes to keep from being overcome.
