DRINK HOT WAITER
IF YOU DESIRE A

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 morn

ing the entire alimentary tract, before
putting more food into the stomach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots. pimples or pallid com-
plexion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-

assured OF very pronounced results 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 water cleanses,
purifies and freshens the skin on tho
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 tho
skin pores do not absorb impurities

SEEKING STRIKE
BREAKERS HERE
Western Maryland Agents Find
Scarcity of Labor; Shop
Men Quit at Hagerstown

Representatives of the Western
Maryland Railroad Company were
here to-day seeking men to take the
place of strikers in the company's
shops at Hagerstown and other points.
They met with little encouragement as
there has been a scarcity of labor in
these parts for many months. 1t is
said good prices were offered for ma
chlnists and helpers. A dispatch from
fiagerstown says:
A general strike has been called
IN mechanical departments of the
western Maryland Railroad. It is
SAID 500 men are out and that others
VIII quit to-day Shops are located
here, Baltimore, Hanover, Cumber-
land, Union Bridge and at Elkins, w.
Va.
THE strike is a sympathetic move
ment in the interest of 500 machinists
or the HagerStown shops, who failed
TO receive an INCREASE in wages. The
company gave its ultimatum yester-
day refusing the demands. The men
out include machinists, helpers, metal
workers, blacksmiths, laborers, white
and colored.
All Shops Closed
Efforts are being made by the
railroad company to bring strike
breakers here from Baltimore and
other points, and agents are now out
securing the country according to re-
ports. The shops here are closed
tightly, and special officers are on
guard. So far there has been no
disorder.
General Manager Ennes of the
Western Maryland railroad yesterday
afternoon issued a staement giving
the railroads side of the points in
question and the facts leading up to
the strike, stating that the railroad
has standard agreements with all of
the mechanics who are out, which
provide for the handling of all mat
ters as are in dispute, and that the
railroad stands ready to live up to
the letter and spirit of these agree
ments. Representatives of the ma
tional organization of labor are ex-
pected here to-day to investigate the

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsiied cocoanut oil, for 1t is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats the most expensive SOAPS or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and b 1t in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cieanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly! and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle.
Besides, it loosens and takes out every
particle of dust. dirt and dandruff.

In speaking of the matter this morn

have inquired about enlisting.
we must have more recruits" he
said. Many have promised to enlist
in case of war, but approximately
$4,000 young men are needed even in
the event war is not declared" he
continued.
Women will be enlisted in all parts
of the country, and while they will not
be required to board ships, they will
be used for shore duty in coast de-
fense. They will be given positions
corresponding to that of the yeoman
class and will be allowed to qualify
as stenographers, typistS, clerks and in
the wireless department
In an interview this morning Quar-
termaster Quirk said:
"A young man can render no more
effective service to his country at this
time than to enlist in the United States
Navy-the first line of Defense The
right sort of men are needed now and
these men must be trained, which re-
quires months of drilling. They must
be taught the ways of the sea-for we
have no merchant marine to draw
upon-and they must above all be
taught military discipline as we'll as
the duties of the naval profession. Al
this takes time, a vital factor in the
present crisis.
Patriotic societies and other or
ganizations in the city can assist
greatly in this, work by encouraging
the right kind of young men to enlist
and furnishing the recruiting officer,
with the names of those who may be
interested. We are waiting for mer
! and will enlist them now If they meet
the requirements"
