HAVE ROSY CHEEKS AND FEEL FRESH AS
 A DAISY-TRY THIS! Says glass of hot water with phosphate before breakfast
 washes out poisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up with out a headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week.
 Before breakfast each day, drink a, glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as harmless means of washing from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days Indigestible waste. sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully in vigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases and acidty and gives one splendid appetite for breakfast.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanSeS, sWeetenS and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the blood and internal organs Those who are subject to constipation, bilious attacks. acid stomach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and com plexion pallid, are assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better in every way.

MUSICIANS HEAD
 BILL AT LYCEUM

Tonight is the last opportunity one has to see the Lyceum 'All Star vaudeville and picture program. The best aggregation of musicians to be heard in New Britain for a long time is "Victors Musical Melange,' which tops the program. Wells and Lee are a combination who present clever song and talking act Their rapid fire talking and singing made them great faVorites, and the audiences of Monday called for them again and again. Last. but not least. Fairfax and Stafford, a colored team, proved one of the most entertaining acts. The singing of the lady member was a sensation, and will long be re- membered.
 Mary Garden, in "Thais," is also on this program, thus rounding out an expensive and highly entertaining bill.
 For tomorrow another top-notch vaudeville program is booked.
 Jack Pickford and Louise Huff, always great favorites in New Brit ain will be seen in a five part special feature entitled Jack and Jill.' It is a rare picture showing the two stars at their best. It is full of the spirit of youth and one which will appeal to the theatergoers of the city. The Sylvester Family, a clever dog, which is now the headliner at the Bijou theater in New Haven and a girl team which has proved very popular in the best theaters of the country will complete the new bill at the Lyceum which opens tOmor- row afternoon for the remainder of the week.

Are Advertised Medicines Worthless

There is no moro reason to condemn all advertised medicines than there is to condemn all physicians or all drug gists. Fakes there are in every pro- fession and in every trade, but they do not last long. Take a medicine like Lydia F. Pinldham's Vegetable Com pound, the true test of it's merit is the fact that for forty years it has been relieving women of America from the worst forms of female ailments, con- stantly growing in popularity and favor, until it is now recognized from ocean to ocean as the standard remedy for female ills.

SIDE TALKS
A Maddening Criticism
RY RUTH CAMBRIDGE

Let me tell you something that always makes me hot every time hear it.
 I refer to criticisms made by peo- pie in comfortable circumstances of people in uncomfortable circumstances because they don't save more.
 For instance, I heard a middle-aged man speak of a young man who had Teen out of work for some months on account of ill-health and who had used up his small savings and gotten nto debt.
 Before he lost his job, the young man was probably getting eighteen or at the most twenty dollars a week. He is married
 He Doesn't Sec Why THESE
 PEOPLE Don't Save.
 q never can understand" said the middle-aged critic, emphasizing his words by a wave of his twenty-cent cigar, "why these people don't save more. They must know that a rainy day is likely to come any time"
 Now I happen to know that at one time the critic and his wife had to live for a year on twenty dollars q week (when prices were much moro moderate by the way) and that they fell behind.
 And vet he cant see why THESE PEOPLE don't save more.
 Another man was figuring up how much the foreigners could save if they would go on living as they did in the old country.
 But they haven't got the backbone to do it, he said, scornfully.
 Think of the Strength of Mind
 It Takes.
 Well, how many people of your

 And supposing these people" DID have the courage to do it, is it de- sirable that they should? Isn't it bet ter for the conditions of America that their standards of living should rise?
 As I have often said before, think there is no greater strength of char acter in the world than that shown by the people who save on small i'm comes. It means such countless re- fusals, such hourly watching of the pennies, such infinite self-denial, such foresight, such planning.

 Think of the table luXuries fore gone every dime means!
 And 10 blame the rank and file of peoplo for not having this strength of character is like blaming them for not being all geniuses.
 True, I think everyone ought to save, and that the road to the bank is the road to peace of mind. But certainly do not think anyone who has not shown in his own walk of life strength of character far above those about him, has the right to cri+ic;zo the verv poor for not saving. ~~<r

DESERVES GOLD MEDAL FOR THIS Cincinnati authority tells how to dry up a corn so 1t
 lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on tender aching corn stops soreness at once and soon the corn IOosenS so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 quarter of an ounce of freezone costs very little at any drug store but is sufficient to take off every hard or soft corn or callus: This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to inf1ame or even irritate the sur rounding tissue or skin.

FIRST AMERICAN ARMY in
SECOND MAJOR OPERATION
STRIKE BETWEEN MEUSE AND ARGONNE FOREST
Soldiers Version of the Battle Clipped from the
"Stars and Stripes"

At dawn on September 26, 1918,
the First American army, flushed
with its first swift success at st.
Mihiel, struck its second blow on
a wide front northwest of Verdum
struck and drove the Germans
from many town and village,
from many hill and valley they
had held since the first weeks Of
the world war,
All that region the night before
had been blasted by such con-
course of guns as had had no pre-
cedent in American History, and
by sundown Of the second day the
Infantry, which swarmed forward
through the mist Of Thursday
morning, had fought its way far
into the wild forest Of Argonne,
had carried by storm the forbid
ding height Of Montfaucor, had
restored village after village TO
E France and had sent more than
5000 prisoners trotting back
through the chill September rain
to the waiting pens behind.
The attack was made on a 20
mile front. The communicates of
the first two days announced that
troops from II states-Pennsyl-
vania, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio
New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia,
Washington, Colorado, Wyoming
and Montana-were participating
in the action. In all that battle
line there was not gunner at his
lanyard, not a cook straining tC
push his kitchen forward, not &
doughboy crouching ominous ir
the mud who did not konw-anC
who was not immensely hearteneC
by the knowledge-that at his owr
Arny's left the French were fight
ing victoriously in Champagne
that to the north, the British, Bel
gians and Yankees were forging
ahead.

He kenw that he and his were
taking part in the largest combin-
ed military movement the Western
Front had ever known-that they
were taking part in a battle which
with intervals of quiet and taut
expectancy. stretched from Lor-
raine to the North Sea.
The impression Of a rain Of
blows upon the enemy's stupefed
head was conveyed through the air
from the h:gh-w!reless station on
the Eifel Tower in Paris, which
spread to the uttermost reaches OF
the t.ngl:ng frcnt not only the
news of progress in ether sectors
of France. but also the tidings Of
German disaster in far Macedonia
and the Holy Land.
The proof of such concerted
fighting could be read on every
slope and crest on the American
front. 1t could be noted in the
feebleness with which the German
artillery made answer to our OWL
during the first two days Of the
battle 1t could be noted in the
scromble with which reserves
came to the rescue on the thirc
and fourth days and in the nature
Of those reserves.
And in all that battle line from
Verdun to the other side 70 tht
great forest there was not {
