When the United States entered the

in tAe United States army as a regular
chaplain, and when he failed in that eff
fort he enrolled as a volunteer with the
Knights Of Columbus and landed in
France as volunteer chaplain. As his
parents are Of Czech nativity, although
American citizens, he tried TO get in
the Czecho-Slovak legion here, but found
he could not do so as a Knights of Co.
lumbus chaplain, because the Czechs are
serving as part of the French forces. He
obtained permission from the Knights to
enlist in the Czech legion and at once
did so.

DRINK HOT WATER
TIFF YOU DESIRE a
ROSY COMPLEXIOIQ
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 fermentations and poi
sonous toxins before it is absorbed into
the blood. just as coal, when it burns,
leaves behind certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes, so
the food and drink taken each day leave
In the ahmentary organs certain
amount of indigestible material, which
If not eliminted, form toxins and posons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are intend
ed to suck in only nourishment to sus-
tain 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 teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, which is a
harmless means of washing the waste
material and toxins from the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the entire
alinientary tract, before putting more
food into the stomach
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, gpimples or pallied complex
ion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
Others who are bothered with headaches,
bilious spells, acid stomach or constipa-
tion should begin this phosphated hot
water drinking and are 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
iast as soap and hot water cleanses,
purifes and freshens the skin lon the
outside, so hot water and limstone phos-
phate 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 into the blood,
while the bowel pores do. ADV,

from which enemy observations would

Vick's YapoRub is the discovery Of

to the body heat, these ingredients
are liberated in the form of vapors.
VapoRub can be had in three sizes at

is the standard home remedy in the
