PACIFIC NORTHWEST
NEWS

TheUnited States government has
turned to the Pacific Northwest for
recruits for the aviation service. Any
young men in the state who have
an inclination to serve Uncle Sam in
the air can get trial if he comes up
to requirements. Airplane flyers
must be between 10 and 80 years of
age, but for the balloon service they
may be as old as IS; in fact Uncle
Sam prefers the older men for the
task of handling balloons. Capt.
George L. Jones, president of the
examination board for aviators for
the Seattle district, has opened an
office in that city and is ready to
talk to applicants. He says they
must have references, as only first
class young men are wanted. Incl
1entally he calls attention to the-fact
that Uncle Sam will pay his aviators
800 per month while learning to
fly and in addition they will be
given a subsistence allowance.
Food commissioner Hoover calls
the country's attention to the fact
that the Government is going just as
far as it possibly can to bring down
food prices and declares that from
now on we must watch the middle
nan and the retailer to see that they
do not taci. on excessive profits to
their wares. II is undoubtedly true
that i'll Seattle many retailers and
jobbcrs have taken advantage to
boost prices of food stuffs far be-
yond the reasonable point. 1t has
been found by comparison of pric-
es with other cities in the state that
Seattle is paying far more for her
food supplies than is warranted by
the manufacturers prices, and it is
due to the fact that the middleman
and retailer are demanding Excessive
profits. Commissioner Hoover says
that under the present law Uncle
Sam has no way of reaching these
people, but they can be punished by
the public by refusing to patronize
them.

bonds and bonds of other nations held

900, 100000 francs M de Verneuil says,
to be applied to the indemnifcation OF
all the victims OF the war.
NJ de Verneuil disagrees with those
who think that Germany's resources
will be entirely exhausted when she
asks for peace. She will be able, he
thinks, very promptly after the cessa-
ton of hostilities to take up again
with even increased facilities for pro-
duction, the extraordinary activity that
DR.. Helfferich exposed with detail fig
ures.
France, with her great industrial
region of the north paralyzed for a
considerable period will be in great
er state of inferiority than ever as
compared to her agressor, he antici-
pates. and he cites it as one more
reason for loading upon Germany a
compensating burden that will prevent
her from enjoying an advantage so
ruthlessly gained.

BILLIONS A YEAR
FROM THE GERMANS
advt.

PARIS, May 5.-The equivalent of
g.. 200 900 900 a year is what Germany
should be compelled to pay the En-
tente allies during as many years as
nav be necessary to liquidate the total
war debt, asserts NJ. de Verneuil, hon
orarv president of the Paris Official
Stockholders Association. He calcu-
lates that she will be able to pay such
an annuity.
The exposition by DR.. Karl Helffer-
ich. the German Vice-Chancellor, of
the economic situation of Germany in
1913 is taken by NJ. de verneuil as
the basis of his calculations. The
figures he cites are as follows:
The wealth of the German empire
in 19l3-S75, 100000 900 francs.
Annual revenue therefrom-5O,OO0,'
100000 francs.
Government and individual expendi-
TIRES of all sorts-37 500, 900, 900 francs,
including Germany's vast outlay for
armament.
Total yearly economies-12,5 500, O0O,-
600 francs of which 2,5OO,OOO,O0O francs
ret savings from actual earnings.
These figures of Germany's annual
accumulation of wealth are confirmed,
NJ De Verneuil asserts, by all careful
German calculations and he takes the
net 10000 100000 as the basis for fig
uring Germany's paying capacity. He
adds 300 .OOO,O francs to be deriv-
cd from a tax of five francs per ton on
Germany's coal production of 100000
GOO tons. $50, 100000 to be raised by a
Der eapita tax of ten francs per year,
10000 900 francs from an annual con-
tribution levied upon all cities of more
than 100000 population, and 1,75O,0OO,

and freight rates and receipts from

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 feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tions and poisonous toxins before it is
absorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind certain
amount of incombustible material in
the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
mentary organs certain amount OF
indigestible material, which if not ell
minated, 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 every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it. which is harmless means of wash
ing the waste material and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys end bowels,
thus cleansing, sweetening and purify
ing the entire alimentary tract, before
putting more food into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, pimpies or pallid complex
ions, also those who wake UP with a
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or
constipation should begin this phos-
phated hot water drinking and are as
surred of very pronounced results in
one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limsetone phos-
phate costs very little at the drug store
but is sufficient to demonstrate that
just as soap and hot water celanses,
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, because the
skin pores do not absorb impurities in
to the blood, while the bowel pores do.
