MFN KNITTING FOR SOLDIERS
Show Remarkable Ability at Clicking
the Long Needies-One an Ex-
pert at Tattinq.

The art of knitting has long been
considered exclusively a feminine ac-
complishment, but the theory that man
has not patience or inclination to
snend his leisure hours in clicking the
noodles has been exploded in Califor-
mia. where wonders never cease.
A dispatch from Red Bluff, Tehama
conntv. records that Gorham King,
manager of a department store there,
has almost completed his first knitted
cot consisting of a sweater, muffler
vretlets and a pair Of socks, for some
soldier in France.
King spent his vacation at Moon
stone Beach, and there he learned to
knit in an effort to fOrestall threat
ened nervous breakdown. His sister
and mother have vouched for his pro-
fciency in the art, and say, besides,
that knitting has cured him of much
of his nervousness. It is no uncom-
mon sight, say the natives of Red
Bluff, to see him drop his work at the
store and sit down for a "spell" of
knitting.
". F. Baird, assistant cashier Of q
hank at Woodland, CAL, is another
convert. He is said to have won the
plaudits of the fair ones in that city
since his wife disclosed the fact that
"Will is the best latter in Woodland
With knitting now in vogue it develops
that the banker has also mastered
that art. Baird is widely known in
baseball circles.

One of these is still remembered as
probably the best example ever uttered
by a Judge in his official capacity.
He was sentencing a man who had
been convicted of sheep-stealing, and
after treating the unfortunate prisoner
to a lengthy lecture on the enormity Of
his offense, he wound up as follows:
"My man, if you had been tried for
this eighty years ago, you would have
been hung tomorrow morning.

Problem for Engine Builders,

The farm tractor engine has been
described as 80 per cent engine be-
cause it is under load the majority
of it's time. The motor truck engine
might be spoken of as a 40 per cent
one. and the motor car engine as q
u per cent powerplant, in that it is
rarely If ever working at full power
such as the airplane engine is. Be
cause of this greater load on the air.
plane engine, its manufacture is much
more difficult. One engineer has stat
ed that building 100000 airplane en-
gines would be much more difficult
than building 100000 motor car en-.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel poisons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out,
to feel clean inside; no sour bile to
coat your tongue and sicken your
breath or quill your head; no constipa-
ton, bilious attacks, sick headache,
colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom-
ach, you must battle on the inside like
you battle outside. This is vastly more
important, because the skin pores do
not absorb Impurities into the blood,
While the bowel pores do, says a web
known physician
To keep these poisons and toxns
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels, drink before break
fast each day, a glass of hot water
with teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it. This will cleanse, purify
and freshen the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Get quarter pound Of limestone
phosphate from your pharmacist. Il
is inexpensive and almost tasteless,
except sourish twinge which is not
unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot
water every morning to rid your sys-
TEN of these vile poisons and toxins;
also to prevent their formation
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became saturated with an ac-
emulation of body poisons, begin this
treatment and above all, keep it up!
AS soap and hot water act on the skin,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so
limestone phosphate and hot water be-
fore breakfast, act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels.

New activities are steadily produc-

WAR Time NERVOUSNESS

In these war times many people are
living in an unnatural condition of
nervous excitement. Unless some
thing is done to correct it the newt
able result will be q nervous break
down, an exhaustion of nervous en-
ergy that may take a very serious and
unforeseen turn.
Neurasthenia is one such result with
its accompaniment Of worry, irrita-
bility, oyersensitiveness and severe
headache. 1t means that the patient
has lost the power to recover and store
up energy. The condition will grow
worse if not corrected.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring non-alco-
holic tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and
have proved of the greatest benefit in
many cases of neurasthenia. A ten
dency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients,
is also corrected by these tonic pills.

Nervous System" and "What to Eat
and How to Eat'' will be sent free by

PROTECTS EYES OF SOLDIERS
Chain Visor Attached to Helmet Is
New Device Used by British
Troops In TreDehes.

A new chain visor helmet attach
ment to protect the soldiers eyes is
being tried by the British infFfance.
The. visor Is the invention Of Capt. r.
r. Cruise, an ophthalmic surgeon with
General Haig's forces. Around the
frontSof the regular steel helmet Doc
tdr--1rntse has placed asIaader rod
TO which Is attached a strip Of steel
chain mail. about three inches deep.
This slides on the r8d as easily as a
curtain, and 4 San be, drawn, like a
Veil, fdlfly close BY. an ipgent0us con-
triyihee and 'fastehiRg. The eyes of
the wearer are thus protected against
any flying fragment OF she'll, os-what
is almost equally dangernus-any
stone or piece of earth thrown up by
the explosion of shell. The steel
mall obscures the vision, 10 d certain
extent, but not to such d degree that
the soldier Is unable to use his rifle.
But If he wishes greater ciearness OF
sight half the mail can be looped back
and one eye will still be protected.
