Everyone Should Drink Hot Water
 in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons. before
 breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside; no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no consti- patton, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stomach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician.
 To keep these poisons and toxins we'll flushed from the stomach, liver, kidney and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen- tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach.
 Get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost t8steless Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to pre- vent their formation.
 As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and puri- flying. so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels Adv.

GEN, COURAUD'S,
 ARMY STILL HAS HARDEST TASK

French Headquarters in France, Thursday, Oct 3-Reute1s-With the progress of the Allies along the front from the Aisne to the Mouse the Ger mans daily are becoming more alarm ed over their positions in various sec- tions.
 Allied forces are nearing the Lat eral railways which permit the enemy ot move his reserves. During the past two days the advance of the Allies has made his route from the Argonne along the Aire valley useless except by night.
 In this sector, however, the Allies have to deal with the German Crown Prince who does not des:re 70 oe tho first German commander to give the order to retreat.
 General Gouraud's army had and still has the hardest task of all the French armies. Innumerable feats Of individual courage are recorded One French soldier with an auto. matic rifle captured a complete Ger man field gun battery. He crept uI on the battery position by himself and shot all the gunners. A lieutenant a sergeant and a private, with auto. matic rifles took a trench with 10F i prisoners by making the Germans believe they had been outflanked il | force.

HEALTH OFFICIAL. CARLSON MEDICAL
 AID FOR STATE

Hartford, Oct. 5.-All doctors and nurses who are in @ position to rem der their services wherever in the state they may be most needed dur ing the influenza epidemic, were urged today by Dr. John T. Black, sec retary of the state department of health, to send their names to that department. Doctors and nurses call ed upon will be given compensation and all expenses. Dr. Black said there was a great need in Connecticut of doctors and nurses.
 'As the epidemic reaches its height and sweeps over the state from east to west, pneumonia and deaths in crease in number, and in certain communities and shortage of physi- clans and nurses is greatly felt" Dr. Black declared. "The department of health earnestly urges upon all phy- sicians and nurses not to leave the state, but to remain where they are in readiness for a call. No doctor or nurse should neglect the opportunity to render his or her very real bit by thinking that there is someone else to bear the burden. Personal risk in cidental to attending cases of inf1uen- "a can be avoided by wearing a mask"
 There is little doubt that in the average theatre, providing close atten- tion is paid to the ventilation of the house, and providing our rules are ob served, the danger to people collect ing for entertainment is far less than in the case of those who crowd into poorly ventilated cars" Dr. Black said
 The local health department repre- 6entatives, in their talks to factory employees, will point out that influ- enza itself is not a dangerous disease unless complicated by pneumonia They will show that pneumonia is apt to develop when the patient fails tc go to bed as soon as he feels sick, and that the way to avoid influenza is to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine avoid crowds and sick people, and walk instead of ride to and from work.

CURTAIL TRADE TO GET SHIPS.

Washington, Oct 5.-Restriction of imports from South and Central America will increase from now on until December, and perhaps later. This will apply more to countries on the eastern coast than to those on the Pacific, as the cause is the need of the War Department for troopships. To secure more vessels for this pur- pose was one of the objects of Sec retary Bakers present trip to Eng land.
 The cirtailment of imports will fall mostly on Argentina, from which country vast quantity of wheat up to the marketing of our own great crop has now given way to wool and leather and some linseed. The last two commodities will first feel the re- striction, although all will be treated as the carrying out of the war pro- gram demands.
 Beyond the taking of. more ships for troops there will be no effect on exports.

NEWS AMONG THE BOY SCOUTS OF
 AMERICA HEADQUARTERS NOTES

The Boy Scout campaign for the sale of bonds in the Fourth Liberty Loan will start on Saturday morning, Oct. 12. At meeting of commit tee consisting of Deputy Commissioner Maitland, Scoutmasters Eccles and Gebherdt, also Scout Executive But Ter, which met Thursday night in Scout headquarters, territory was assigned each troop. The report of this committee will be presented at a special meeting of the Scoutmasters to be held on Monday night, Oct. z.
 The local Liberty Loan committee have been entrusted with full author ity to use the Scouts as they think decided to use the Scouts as "Glean- CTS After the Reapers," in which every house in Bridgeport will be canvassed by the Scouts during the last week.
 To those Scouts who succeed in selling ten bonds to ten individuals a medal will be awarded as is the cus- tom in the past. National head quarters in New York has requested that Scouts make no effort to secure advance promises; because it flinders the work of the local committees. People are urged therefore not to re- serve their bonds. The Scouts are ''Moppers Up," and as such they will endeavor to get bonds that no one else could get
 According to W. L. Morehouse, the Boy Scouts have rendered a distinct service in assisting the publicity conn mittee as indicated in the following letter:
 Attention of NIT. Butter.
 Dear Sir-May we take this op- portunity of expressing our appre- citation for the wonderful way in which the Scouts have placed the posters of the Fourth Liberty Loan and for the interest they have shown in this valuable work.
 It is no small matter to see that the thousands of posters sent us are displayed in the most advantageous manner and we would have been se- verely handicapped were it not for the prompt aid of your boys.
 Please accept our thanks and ex- tend them to the Scouts. Very truly yours, Liberty Loan Committee.
 By W. L. Morehouse. Scouts are needed to assist as mes sengers at the Liberty Loan commit tee each morning and afternoon. Any Scout who can give his assistance should first register at Scout head quarters. Scouts can also do some good turns at the headquarters of the Home Economic committee, on State street, near the city hall. Plans for the rally to be held or Liberty Day, Oct. 12, at Seaside parl are practically completed. An after | noon of interesting events relating tt 1 scouting will be held.
