Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of this hamburg tea, put
a cup of boiling water upon 1t. pour

thus breaking a cold at once.
It is inexpensive and entirely vege-

An Army of Physicians.

Figures are also given for the med
ical personnel. 1t is estimated that
the United States will require $4,000
doctors, nurses and orderlies, 5000
of these being doctors and surgeons.
In addition to the large hospitals
which will be organized throughout
France for the American forces, her
army will require two evacuation
hospitals at the front for every $4,000
men engaged there, and each of these
hospitals must have 1000 beds; and
there must be six or eight sheets,
two pillows, four pillow-cases and
three blankets for every bed in all
thees hospitals. Then there will be
$4,000 tons of medical supplies, with
an additional 10000 tons for replace
ment during the first six months.
An idea of the immensely of Great
Britain's task may be obtained by
multiplying all these figures by ten
and allowing for the distances be-
tween such fighting fronts as Elan
ders, Mesopotamia, Macedonia, Pales-
tine and East Africa.

Reasons For Floating This Kind OF
Financing Are Shown by
the Needs of the
Army.

Cash is Needed to Buy Supplies and
for Transportation and
other Prob
lens.

The following statistics, compiled
after careful investigation regarding
the British army in France, shows
the needs of the first 100000 Ameri-
cans, the number said by Secretary
Baker to be now in France.
For these troops 10000 railway
trucks will be required in France.
and the Americans will have to
equip four ports and build wharves to
accommodate the twenty-five ships
which will have to be unloaded every
day The 100000 will require ESQ
ships to keep them supplied. A thou
sand American locomotives will have
to be brought over and thousands OF
miles of rails. They will require
1000 cold storage trucks, in addition
to ambulance trains and almost
countless motor lorries to carry food,
ammunition and supplies, together
with their petrol stores and repair
shops. Also the United States will
have to ship $1,000 tons of coal to
France every month.
