TELEPHONE WAR TAX
PAYMENTS PLANNED
To Be Dropped in Coin Boxes or
Billed to Subscribers.

Plans for the collection of the gov
ernment's war tax on the phone mes
seages above fifteen cents, have been
perfected by the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company accord
ing to a statement issued by Division
Superintendent Porter last light.
The preparation for the collection
OF the five cent tax on all messages
OF IS cents or over has been a big
job for the telephone company" said
Mr.. Porter. I'm the case of public
telephones with coin box attachments
the tax OF cents is to be inserted
as directed by the operator in the
coin box by the person who sends the
message. and all operators have been
instructed to arrange for this.
Special preparations for billing
regular subscribers correctly for the
tax IMPOSE on their messages of 10
cents and .er also had to be made
New collection routines had to be
prepared and new systems of account
ing worked out. The telephone COM
pany has advised all telephone users
of the new law and the methods put
into effect for collecting the tax. No
tees giving full directions have been
placed by means of 4 circular enclOs-
ed with their monthly bills. This
circular explains the methods of max
ing the charge for the tax and gives
a digest of the law relating to it."

Drink Hot Water
If You Desire a
Rosy Complexion
Says We Can't Help But Look
Better and Feel Better
After an Inside Bath.

To look ones best and to feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fernenta-
tions and poisonous toxins before
they are absorbed into the blood.
Just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind a certain amount
Of incombustible material in the
form of ashes. so the food and
drink taken each day leave 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 hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
1t. which is a harmless means of
washing tho waste material and tox-
ms from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels, thus cleansing, sweeten-
Ing and purifying the entire aliment-
ary tract before putting more food
into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins.

headaches. bilious spells, acid stom-
ach or constipation should begin this
phosphated hot water drinking and
are assured Of very pronounced re-
suits 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 wafer
cieanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider
that internal sanitation is vastly more
important than outside cleanliness. be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, while the

D. c. MUST FILL
ITS QUOTA AT
CAMP MEADE
More Than Fifty White Men
Will Entrain Next
Tuesday.

Every remaining white man In the
District available for service at Camp
Meade will probably leave Washing
ton on the s:35 train on Tuesday,
November 6. Acting Adjutant Gen
eral Donovan, of the District, esti-
mated that more than fifty white men
are included in the total Of 100 re-
manning in the present quota.
Adjutant General Donovan issued an
order yesterday. following the receipt
OF another order from the Provost
Marshal General, in which he in
structed local boards to prepare to
ship their men as soon as possible.
1t is the idea of Donovan to get all
white men out % the way at once, so
that with the entrainment of the
colored selective service men at
later date the entire quota of the Dis
trict, numbering 929 men, will be at
the camp. At present S29 men In
Camp Meade are from Washington.

In its official statement, the Russian

THE Russian Embassy is in receipt

communicates the following informa-
ton:
-Four German infantry divisions

Eighty-six infantry and ten cavalry
German divisions. thirty-thrce infan-

total of 1i7 enemy divisions.
1t issued another statement criu-
cizing the manner in which tn" story
In the Washington Post was dis
played.
Russia Is not out of the war" 1t
said, land has no intention OF quit
ting. No word in Eerensky's inter
view gives warrant for any assertion
of that kind. As a matter Of fact,
the premier stated exactly the oPpo-
site. Even the part published does
not give any justification to the pre-
rosterous and most injurious head
lines by which it was displayed.
The defense was made for the
Washin-tCn Post that at a late hour
in the morning only = portion OF
the Associated Press dispatch con-
tanning Premier Eercnsky's interview
had been received Without waiting
for the complete story the issue was
rushed TO press with a huTicdly
written caption over it.
That this explanation is quite in
adequate is shown by an eXamina-
ton of the story. Sensationalism
rather than patriotism seemed 10 be
the determining factor in the method
of its handling the story.
1t was said that only the first por-
ton of the Associated Press dispatch
had been received at the time it went
to press.
Beginning with the quotation of
Premier Kerensky to the effect that
Prussia is not out of the war;" the
remainder of the dispatch was omit
ted with the exception OF kerrnSky's
query, "Where is the great British
fleet, now that the German fleet is out
in the Baltic" As this query is con-
tanned in the middle OF the interview
it is obvious that the part preceding
it must have been in The hands of the
Post at the time of publication.

FOOD And FUEL
RALLY PLANNED
FOR WEDNESDAY
Administrators of District
Conservation Forces Will
Push War Program.

Washington will probably see its
largest food and fuel conservation
rally Wednesday night in the audi
torium of Central High School.
Following addresses by Clarence L.
Wilson, food administrator of the
District, and John L. Weaver, the
District fuel administrator, a meeting
of the Women's Federal Council on
Employment yesterday in the board
room of the District building, made
first steps of preparation for a big
rally.
Wilson Starts Plan.
Mr.. Wilson was the father Of the
idea. He appealed for the help Of the
women of Washington in conserving
the food. and asked for their further
cooperation in his plans. He then
suggested n rally OF all the women's
clubs represented by the delegates OF
the council. A hearty Endorsement
followed his suggestion.
The time set for the rally was Nov.
I. and go women's club of Washing
ton are expected to be represented.
An effort will be made to secure the
auditorium of Central High School
as the meeting place.
Mr.. Wilson declared that Wash
ington's food problem, provided that
there was no boarding, would not
cause any serious situation. He told
of one dealer with whom he had come
in contract who had boarded up two
years supply of food. He said any
such operation would meet with his
most violent opposition.
In speaking on the coal situation,
Mr.. Weaver. after indorsing the idea
of the rally. declared that every
Washington house would be able TO
go through the winter with coal in
the cellar if the supply Is carefully

L. 6. Backs I'D Russia.

The United States has authorized
credits for Russia amounting to ST.
tt' ,)td. There remains practically
$4,000. 90 of uneTpired credits. none
Of which this government showed Sny
indication Of Withdrawing. either be-
fore or after Kerensky's statement.
We have reached a crucial stage in
the conduct of the war. one which is
not aided by too great pCssimism nor
misstatement of conditions.
While it has been obvious that the
fighting has stopped for the time being
on the Russian front. this is regarded
largely as a situation forced by the
winter. An officer high in the military
service OF the United states yesterday
thus outlined the situation.
Great as have been the territorial
gains Of Germany in the Russian and
the Italian drives they have been
strikingly barren in material advan-
tages. The iron ring has been bent
outward. II has not been broken.
AS long rs the Germans fail to
attain this object they may be said
TO he defeated.
"Of course, the game is not over
vet. II may be that they will break
through on the Russian or on the
Italian front. But all the evidence is
10 the contrary.
