American soldiers overseas are

cording to Young Mems Christian
Association Secretaries Degrotte and
Martin, who are in Omaha on a tour
of the country to recruit men for
"Y" service as physical directors. So
enthusiastic are the Yankees in their
efforts to keep in the best OF physi-
cal condition they often indulge in
the national pastime close behind the
lines, under screaming shells, and in
areas drenched with poison fumes.
The visiting secretaries spoke at
the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation Thursday noon before state
representatives Of the Young Mems
Christian association recruiting COM

An instance OF the wholesome eff

"The men had just come from the
front line trenches" said Mr.. Mar
tin. "They were dazed almost to
the extent of she'll shock. They
stood around stupidity, unable to con-
centrate their thoughts. Then some
one threw football into the crowd
and almost at once they began to kick
it about and became the same intelli-
gent, animated American soldiers
they had been before entering the
battle"
Mr.. Degrotte believes that from
now on the warfare will be largely in
the open, although Fritz may at
tempt to "dig in" from time to time.
The allied soldiers here have the

in spite of boasted German suprema-

Mr.. Degrotte has 81, 100000 order

There are ten athletic directors to

An Inside Bath Makes You Look

Says a glass ef het water with uhcsphate before breakfast
 kseps illness away.

Physicians the world over recon mend the inside bath, claiming this is of vastly more importance than out side cleanliness. because the skin
 pores do not absorb impurities into
 the blood, causing i'll health, while the
 pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
 Men and women are urged to drink
 each morning, before breakfast a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of helping to wash from the stomach, liver kidneys and
 bowels the previous days indigestible material poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri- fying the entire alimentary canal be- 1 fore putting more food into the stom- l ach.
 Those who wake up with bad l breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or have dull. aching head, sallow com plexion. acid stomach; others who are l subject to billions attacks or constipa- i ton, should obtain quarter pound oi 1 limestone phosphate at the drug store This will cost very little but is suffi-
 cient to demonstrate the value of in- side bathing.
