Not to beauty, in such case--so we are
told--does the conscious stone grow.
This is the argument. But there is
something TO be said on the other side.
What, it may be asked, is the object of a
public memorial in town or city? Is it
not proper that ii should be thing apart
from the life of the people-looming
down upon them as they hasten to their

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

II you are accustomed TO wake up with
coated tongue, foul breath or dull,
dizzy headache; or, If your meals sour
and turn into gas and acids, you have a
real surprise awaiting you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately upon
arising, drink glass of lot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This is intended to first neutralize and
then wash out of your stomach, liver,
kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all
the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile
and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening
and purifying the entire alimentary
canal
Those subject to sick headaches, back
ache, bilious attacks, constipation or any
form of stomach trouble, are urged to
get quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate from the drug store and begin en-
ioying this morning inside bath. II is
said that men and women who try this
become enthusiastic and keep it up daily.
1t is a splendid health measure, for it is
more important to keep clean and pure
on the inside than on the outside, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb inn
purities into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle of bathing inside is not
new, as millions Of people practice it,
Just as hot water and soap cleanse, puri-
fly and freshen the skin, so hot water and
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act
on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els. Limestone phosphate is an inexpen-
sive white powder and ALMOST tasteless.

KEEP YOUR PLEDGE"
Vermonters Urged to Buy as Many War
Stamps as Promised.

Announcing that Vermont leads all
New England in the per capita sale of
war savings stamps, but warning that
vigorous effort is necessary TO retain
that lead, State Director Fred A. How.
land of Montpelier has set plans on foot
for a keep Your Pledge" movement
through all Vermont during the closing
month of the year, which is expected to
insure the fulfillment of the pledges
made last June and to stimulate great
Ter purchases on the part of men, WON
en- and children in every city, village and
hamlet in Vermont.
The immediate reasons for the cam
ipaign are first to give warning to the
isigners of the pledges that they entered
into a contract with the United States
government which they are bound to
keep and (second to notify them that
Vermont must make a grand rally dur
ing the next four weeks in order to
reach the quota which was assigned the
state.
The adoption of the plan followed a
conference which was held by the coun-
ty managers with the state director at
Montpelier recently, at which encour-
aging reports of the total sales were
made but with supplementary reports
that many people have not yet fulfilled
their obligation to the government,
thereby preventing Vermont from reach.
ing that stage of completion Of the
quota which might reasonably have been
expected at this time.
In furthering the keep Your Pledge"
movement, the town chairman of the
whole state will on Dec Is send a no.
tifcation to each person who pledged
last summer to buy stated amount of
war savings and thrift stamps, remind
ing him of the pledge made and asking
that an enclosed franked postal (need.
ing no postage) be returned at once to
the postmaster in each town, telling of
the amount of purchases already made.
On Dec 20 these postcards will be placed
in the hands of the town chairmen, SO
that the latter may check up the com
pleted purchases and interview those
who have not yet carried out their whole
pledges.
State Director Rowland believes that
with the fulfillment Of all these pledges,
together with the added purchases which

Vermont will be able to lead not only
New England, but the whole eastern d.
vision of the states 1t only remains
for the people of Vermont to come for
ward periodically during the next four
weeks and buy war savings stamps to
the limit of their ability.
Already the total sales of the stamps
in Vermont have mounted to S4,32S,-
69334, giving the state a per capita in

OVER WORLD
So World Relief Week Is on
Through Vermont and
the Nation
FRANK H. BROOKS
ISSUES APPEAL
Calls on Vermonters to Con-
serve Food to Save
the World

"World Relief week" is in full swing
throughout Vermont and the rest of the
nation. Meetings will be held for the
remainder of the week in every county
and in great many towns of the state
at which the necessity that every indi-
vidual join in doing everything posi-
Bile along food lines to bring relief to
the starving, and thus prevent bolshe-
vism from spreading will be explained
Frank II. Brooks, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Vermont, today ad-
dressed the following appeal to the
people of the state
The miracle Of the loaves and
fishes is to be re-enacted-not before
multitude of five thousand but for
millions of starving multitudes. In
that day of Christ, there was enough
and to spare. In this new day Of
Christ, there will be sufficient, If we
share.
Let me quote statement made by
Mr.. Hoover to the State Food Admin
istrators recently in Washington
:" In North Russia forty million peo-
pie now face winter and starvation
OF those forty million, probably ten
million will die from starvation this
coming winter

the people of Vermont will support
Mr.. Hoover as he goes forth on what
may be termed Godlike mission
He has saved Belgium from starva-
ton. BY his organized effort and the
cooperation of the people the cause

ton and its twin companions, anar-
chy and Bolsheyism. We must re-
move famine 1t is to save ourselves,
and American Institutions, that We
should promptly and willingly help
Mr.. Hoover stop famine conditions.
LET me quote from Mr.. Hoover's
inspiring message to the Administra-
tors. Referring to changes in rules
and regulations, he said
"'There is one policy which cannot
change That is the vital necessity OF
simple living and economy in con-
sumption OF food commodities. We
must realize that the spectre of fam.
