SHIP BUILT HERE
BREAKS RECORD
Nine Days OFF Time Be-
tween New York and
Valparaiso
LAUNCHED AT CRAMPS
Santa Lusia First to Carry
Stars and Stripes on
Route
LAUNCHED AT CRAMPS

A ship built in Philadelphia--the Santa
Luisa-has broken the record for time
between New York and Valparaiso.
on it's maiden trip it made the voyage
in eighteen days clipping nine days of
the usual time.
The Santa Luisa was the first ship to
carry the stars and Stripes on this route
and inaugurated the Government steam
ship line between the two points. The
ship was built at Cramps and completed
last May
Howard Cooney. vice president Of the
United States Shipping Board. today
said that the Santa Luisa is the first in
a world service of direct steamship lines
planned by the board. 1t will be fol-
lowed by the establishment of weekly
service between New York and the east
coast of South America and other south
ern points.
Tells OF Boards Plans
In a statement Mr.. Coonley added:
Active prosecution of the war de-
mands troopships of 10000 TO $4,000
tons and upward, with speed OF fifteen
knots an hour and upward Such
steamers are readily converted into
pdsccheSi S"i
riers for service on regular routes.
Indeed. regular service. backed by
close-co cooperation of shippers, Is need
ed to make these large vessels profitable,
as they cannot compete with the ocean
tramp steamship of 5000 to 5000 tons,
twelve to fourteen knots an hour, which
in normal times are employed chiefly
for charters from port to port, accord
ing to the demand for slow tonnage.
on the other hand, larger and faster
passenger ships of small freight ca
pacity. such as are kept busy between
this country and Europe in norma!
times, are not profitable in Latin -Ameri-
can or Pacific traffic.
War Providing Ideal Type
War is, therefore. providing the ideal
type Of ship for Latin-American pas
senger and freight traffic on regular
routes, and from the standpoint Of mill
tary necessity It may be advisable for
the United States Government to MAIN
tain such ships in Latin-American serv-
ice so that our enlarged military estab-
lishment may always have troop ships
available in emergency.
Had America possessed a complete
service of such ships in South America
before the war, making available fifty
to 100 vessels for troop conveyance. the
Government would today be able to
transport soldiers to France at twice
the present rate"

Anticipate Dry Era's Approach

wholesale liquor dealers and bottlers
fear the onward sweep of nation wide
prohibition and have begun to warn
their customers to stock up for the

toners not to wait until IT Is too late to
All up their liquor cabinets.
One concern has advised It's customers
that nationwide prohibition Is a possi-
bility within the next two years and
urges Immediate purchase of the wet"

that unprecedented prices viii be de-
manded as the prohibition period draws
nearer.
Liquor dealers who have stocked up
with large supplies of spirits are sal
to be worried over the uncertainty of
the proposition.

Wash the PoisonS and Toxins
from System Before Putting

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This Is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be car
ried out of the body. II this waste
material Is not eliminated day by day
1t quickly ferments and generates poi
sons, gases and toxins which are alb
sorbed or sucked into the blood stream
through the lymph ducts which should
suck only nourishment to sustain the
body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day. a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in IL,
which is a harmless way to wash these
poisons, gases and toxins from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels;
