laughter in a breezy comedy skit en-
titled, "The Wife Saver" at the Nixon

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Department has issued a definite list of the personal articles which the man may take with him.
 The Red Cross will, however, be able to arrange for shipment over seas through the regular freight channels, of large quantity of com fort kits for distribution through it's Foreign Commissions. It has been decided to make such shipments be- cause it is felt that under conditions existing over there Red Cross kits provide an additional comfort for the men which is really appreciated
 The epidemic of Spanish influenza has reached e unit of Red Cross men and women which was scheduled to sail this week from an Atlantic port for duty overseas.
 Eighteen persons were reported ill with the disease by the surgeon in charge of the unit and the resources of the Bureau of Personnel were taxed to combat it. Many were sent to hospitals where they were attend ed by nurses and doctors sent by the local chapter of the Red Cross. Some of those who were not seriously ill., were treated aboard the steamship and were able to sail with the unit.
 It was reported that unit which reached a Canadian port had also felt the ravages of the disease. Off, cials of the Red Cross telegraphed to that port and the same care of the men and women was given there.
 One man who was to have left from this port died here. The other cases, however, are now reported as convalescent and it is believed the remainder of the unit will go out very soon.

MY SOLDIER SWEETHEART
  REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

And then, for the first time in my long, intimate friendship with her I saw Lillian Underwood in a paroxvsn of weeping such as most women in dulge in frequently. I have seen her deeply moved before, have once or twice held her in my arms and list ened to few dry, racking sobs, quickly and sternly repressed but I had never seen her '1et herself 20" before, and her emotion terrified me hot because 1t was excessive or noisy, but because it seemed so in- congruous a thing coming from my poised, brainy friend.
 Lillian Scorns Herself.
 But l knew her well enough to of- fer no words of sympathy or dissua- sion. simply moved slightly that I might relieve in some degree her cramped position, and then held her closely, smoothing her beautiful. sil- yer hair from her forehead until the paroxysm had spent itself and she lay quietly agai,st me.
 When she finally raised her head I was shocked at the ravages her tears and emotion had made in her face. She saw the look, and put up her hands to her hair impulsfvely
 WHa$ IOOI a woman IS to stage performance like this" she said scornfully but the bitterness had gone from her voice, and I saw that the outburst of emotions so long re- pressed had been a wonderful reviv- tfier for her spirit. Tt was the old Lillian who looked out at me from , underneath the crown of hair she l was smoothing into place
 { She walked to the hand basin in [ the alcove and bathed her face, then to my dressing table, where she dust 1 ted rice powder over the traces of the tears. Then she came back slow ly to the fire, but this time she did- n't sit down. She simply stood erect with her hands clasped loosely be- hind her.
 I shan't treat you to another per tormance like that for the next 10 years, Madge," she said apologetica1- Iy, T think it's about 10 since I put on the last one. I haven't been work ing hard enough lately, that's the reason. Nothing like a dose of saw ing wood real or fguratively to keep your nerves from going back on you,'
 '.And, of Course-"
 You were just about to tell me
 ;hen you were interrupted" I para
 ,hrased mischievously, feeling that perhaps 8 bit of nonsense was what she needed most.

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and | Fresh Every Day
 Drink a glass of real hot water 1 before breakfast to wash \ out polsons-

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest we'll, work we'll. sleep well, look well. What 8 glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of inc system each morning and flush ing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing sweetening and purl- flying the entire aIimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigoratlng. It cleans out all the sour fermenta- tions, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume or water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are
 bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallOW skins, blood disorders and sickly cOmpleNOnS are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro -nounced crank on the subject of in- ternal sanitation.
