800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Eyaneeine Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon TO furnish 500 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in report lust received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
Of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over year ago TO es-
tablish hutmcnt and general war relief
work with the American troops.
Eve Will do all we can 20 fll this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
war Work Campaign, and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and charging

"The Salvation Army was born In

trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how 10 cope with II. Perhaps
that accounts In some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
in it before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto ntoxication-which means self
poisoning Lives and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that 1t congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feveTish and miserable.
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or the bromides which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood of
these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a teaspoon
full of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tenn and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sourlsh
twinge which is not unpleasant
If you aren't feeling your best, il
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
system Of toxins and pois0ns.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know O miserable moment.

RACE BETWEEN PEACE
AND FAMINE FOR HUNS

1 Berne. Dec 1O-The German people
are concerned principally with de-
mobilization and the problems of food
and work. it was stated in a Berlin
dispatch received today, dated Sat-
uTday.
Newspapers in Berlin continue to
demand that peace be signed as quick
" as possible, so that intercourse
with other nations can be resumed
before the present supplies of food
and raw materiaIs-estimat as suf-
ficient for three mOnths-are ex-
hausted.
Feeding of the larger cities is now
attended with enormous difficulties,
the dispatches said. owing to con-
gestion of traffic resulting from the
repatriation of soldiers
Germans in Berne say a democratic
republic in Germany is certain, and
that the nobility is doomed They
boast that universal suffrage" in
Germany HIS already resulted in
their country becoming more demo-
cratic than the United States"
