rHER LIBERTY LOAN COMING.

Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo has an
nounced that no matter what the results OF the
pending oyertures for peace may be, there will be
another Liberty loan. 10 use his expression, .'We
going to have to finance peace for while just
as we have had to finance war;"
There are over 100000 United States sol
diers abroad. Ii we transport these men back to
the United States at the rate of 100000 month"; it
will be over half year before they all returned.
Our army, therefore, must be maintained, victual
ed, and clothed for many months after peace is an
actuaity.
The American people, therefore, having sup
ported the Liberty loan with patriotism that fu-
Jure historians will love to extol will have an op-
portunlty to show the same patriotism in flnanc-
ing the just and conclusive victorious peace when
ever it comes
Not for a moment, however, is the treasury
acting on any assumption that peace is to come
Until peace is actually assured the attitude
of the treasury and the attitude Of the whole Unit
ed States government is for the most vigorous
prosecution Of the war, and the motto Of force
against Germany without stint or limit will be
acted up to until peace is an absolute accomplish
ed fact.
One more Liberty loan at least is certain. The
fourth loan was popularity called the Fighting
Loan the next loan may be fighting loan, too
or it may be peace loan. Whatever the condi-
tons the loan must be prepared for and its success
rendered certain and absolute. Begin now to pre-
pare to support it.

THERE Is A DIFFERENCE.

There is a decided distinction between the Red
Cross campaign for war funds and the Omitted
War Work campaign according to statement
just issued from the department Of the Mountain
Division OF the Red Cross in Denver. The ma
tional drive" which is soon to start in Colorado,
is not Red Cross drive and the funds thus raised
In no way go into the Red Cross relief work.
The drive which commences Nov. llth, is for
the recreation facilities for troops under the drec
tion Of seven different organizations all of which
are endorsed by the national government The
lied Cross is not part Of this group Of organiza-
tions. The Red Cross is chartered by congress as
national agency for relief. It is responsible to
the national government for financial administra-
tion, and has more than 3OOOOOOO members in
America The next Red Cross drive will be in the
early spring.
The work Of the recreational organizations is
OF lnestimable Importance" writes the general
manager OF the Red Gross, in letter to J. W. Nor
ey, manager Of the Mountain Division in Denver
''and every American citizen should support their
campaign generously and whole -heartedly''

Says we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh

SANITARY science has of late made rapid
strides with results that are Of untold
blessing TO humanity The latest applica-
ton Of its untiring research is the recon-
mendatIon that it is ~ necessary to at
tend TO internal sanitation Of the drain
age system of the human body as it is TO
the drains of the house
Those Of us who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when We arise, splitting
headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue,
nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as : daisy by opening the
sluices Of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing. sick or we'll,
should, each morning before breakfast,
drink a glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate IN 1t to
wash from the stomach, liver and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entire
aiimentary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
The millions of people who are bothered
with constipation, bilious spells, stomach
trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged TO get a
quarter pound of limestone phosphste
from the drug store. This will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
pronounced crank on the subject Of in
ternsi sanitation.
