Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

II you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated: If your
head is dull or aching; If what you

pated, nervous, sallow and can't get
feeling just right, begin inside bath

real hot water with teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate IN it. This will
flush the poison and toxins from
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
and cleanse, sweeten and purify the
entire alimentary tract Do your in

ing in the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous days poison
Gus waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your pharmacist
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which Is inexpensive and almost taste

is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on

phosphate act on the stomach. liver,
Kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually coSstipated bilious,

order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.

He then repeated verbatim Secre-

Secretary Lansing, discussing the
Service" performed by Ishii and 9th
err Japanese commissioners, said:
There had unquestionably been
growing up between the peoples OF
the two countries a feeling Of suspi-
cion as to the motives inducing the
activities Of the other in the far east
- feeling which if unchecked, prom
ised to develop a serious situation.
"Rumors and reports of improper
intentions were increasing and were
more and more believed" he said.
Legitimate commercial and indus
trial enterprises without Interior mo-
tive were presumed to have political
significance, with the result that OPP
position to those enterprises were
aroused in the other country.
"The attitude Of constraint and
doubt thus created was fostered and
encouraged by the campatgn of false
hood which for long time had been
adroitly and secretly carried on by
Germans, whose government as part
of its foreign policy desired especial

Japan that it would be at the chosen

Santa Claus Himself Outlines Plan
Which VIII be Followed by Wis
itins Nurse Board In its
Campaign.
USEFULNESS rs KEYNOTE
Everything That is to be Given This
Year In This Work VIII
Be of This Char
acter.

The board of directors Of the Visit
ing Nurse association at it's meeting
this morning decided to again under
take the distribution of the com mum
| ity Christmas gifts. The work this
year will be conducted in the spirit
J in which Santa Claus has written his
letter to the children. 1t is hoped
, that the children and grown people,
! too, will understand why the giving
! this year is of useful gifts.
| Here is Santa'S letter as printed
yesterday in the Chicago Tribune:
| NORTH POLE, Nov. l, 1917
Dear Children: l have received many
letters from you already and most of
i them ask me, rather wistfully,
whether I am coming around this
year Con account of the war, you
know So / thought l would answer
a lot of your letters at once by writ
ing to the paper in this way.
! II have been very busy for long
time now, making things for the sol
| diers and sailors and sending them
away, across the ocean and to the
training camps in this country. l
have also been making and sending
things to the little orphan children
in Belgium and France and all those
other places where the terrible war
is being fought.
| mot many of these things have
been toys and such. Most Of them
have been useful things, to wear. to
eat or to really use in other ways.
It is long time since l made so
many useful things instead of so
many toys, and l can tell you that
it was pretty hard for me to remem-
Der how to do it.
81 know it was right for me to
do it, even if it has made me short
of the things that usually have for
you. think-and I hope am right
that you are glad to have me do
it and that if I had written to ask
you about it you would have told me
to go ahead.
$50 many OF the soldiers and sail
ors were children like yourselves
only a little while ago. Perhaps
they don't look forward to Christmas
with the same eagerness that you
do, but like to think that the things
have made and sent them make
them happier and more comfortable
while they are fighting for us.
"And now to answer your ques-
tons about coming around this year.
OF course, you all know what Christ
mas day is-that it was Christ's
birthday and that is why we make it
a holiday. That is one reason why
II have always looked upon Christ
mas as the children's special day
So, in spite Of the war and of all
the time l have spent, sending things
to the soldiers and sailors, I expect
to come around this year as usual
No, not quite as usual, because ex-
pect the things I can bring you will
bear the marks of what I have been
doing for the others. shall not
bring so many toys--or such expen-
sive ones-but what I do bring for
you will. hope, be more useful and
Just as pleasing. Certainly it will
carry just as much love and good
wishes as ever.
II don't see why I should forget
you or pass you by entirely because
of the war work I have been doing
and expect still to do. After all, it
is your day, and I am still
