Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ZACH, lame. back, can, instead, both
look and feel as fresh as a daisy al
ways by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning. t.s
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in
| it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary tract before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
ii Is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate will cost very little
at the drug store, but is sufficient to
make anyone who is bothered with
.biliousness, constipation, stomach
trouble or rheumatism real erl-
thusiast on the subject Of internal
sanitation. Try It and you are as
sured that you will look better and
feel better in every way shortly.

AT last the gallant cavalry figures
conspicuously on the fighting front, re-
viving the glory of the war horse.
What a void there would be In the
annals OF warfare without their trib-
utes to the chargers! All the poets,
from Homer and Virgil down. have
gilded their heroics with the animals
prowess in battle. Not to mention Bu-
cephalus, the first horse of heroic
quality to get into history, there was
Napoleon's Marengo, the duke Of Well

General Sherman's Lexington and
General Sheridan's Winchester, which
has the distinction Of commemoration
In poetry and Of having his rider for

POLES FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Legion Of Soldiers Of That Nation
Atty Are Cooperating With the
Allies In France.

Napoleon once said Of the Polish
army, st is the best Almost since
the beginning .of the war II has been
the ambition of the Poles again to
distinguish themselves In the field, re.
gain their ancient prestige and win
from the world the admission that
their services entitle their nation to
autonomy and independence.
Russia for political reasons diseour-
aged the idea of distinctive Polish
army both under the rule Of the czar
and under Kerenslsy. OF course under
the holsheviki the agitation ended. So
the Poles turned to France, which
babe them welcome and In an order
dated June 4, s1917, decreed the crea-
ton of distinct Polish legion. .
Now the legion, which has grown so
fast that it Is really an army, is about
to take It's place on the battle line,
having been modified in a great camp
named Sille-le-Guillaume near lie
Mans. The uniform Is the same as
the French, with the exception Of a
distinctive headdress, the "czapka."
The officers are Frenchmen and Poles
who have served in France.
1t will be news to most Americans
that since the early days Of January
large detachments Of well-drilled Poles
have been arriving in France from the
United States. They are the regi-
ments which Ignace Paderewski was
tireless and devoted in recruiting.

MEMORIAL MAY BE.
ERECTED FOR THE
SOLDIERS OF IDAHO

Bo:se, Idaho, Dec. 28.-The matter
of a memorial for Idaho soldiers is
being held in allegiance until the leg
islature meets on January 6. A SYM
postum OF letters on the subject.
gathered by a newspaper from all
members of the next state senate and
house of representatives. shows a
unanimous desire on the part of the
legislators to make a substantial ap-
preparation Of state funds for some
kind Of a memorial. There is. how
ever, no unanimity Of opinion among
the legislators as to the form Of me-
mortal which shall be built.
A suggestion that finds the most
favor is for a-large appropriation of
state funds to be divided into Al
equal parts so that each of the Al
counties may use the money as it sees
fit, and double the fund with a county
appropriation or subscription. An
other scheme that is securing many
adherents is to construct q new wing
to the state house at Boise which
shall contain a memorial hall and an
exhibit of war relics and authentic
records of Idaho's war efforts in all
lines. A third scheme which is popu-
lar is the construction Of. a great
northern and southern boulevard to
link the panhandle of the state with
the southern portion. In connection
with this it is proposed that a tree
shall be planted along this boulevard
for every one Of the thousands Of
Idaho men who enlisted in govern
ment service and that memorial
arches shall span this highway in
every own through which 1t passes.

THE SMALLER PEOPLES.

Whoever first used the term 'self-determination"
provided an instrument by means of which a lot of loose
thought has been thrown about. Upon the theory of the
consent Of the governed, and of the right of a people to
determine its own political status, there have come pro-
posals for the establishment Of so many independent ma
tons that il all were carried into effect the number Of
existing nations would be multiplied several fold, every
nation Of considerable size would be broken into frar-
znents. and something approaching the town meeting
would be a more appropriate system Of government than
any national system which we now have.
We are familiar, of course, with the breaking up of
Russia. Russia, it is true, was so large that several
countries of good size could be carved out of her terri
tory. linen there is the breaking up Of Austria Hungary.
"h1ch has seemed inevitable because Of the diversity Of
race language and sentiment on the part of the many
millions OF people who have been held under the rule
Of the emperor at Vienna. The Germans. feeling their
power waning, fell into line with the proposal that the
people OF Alsace-Lorraine should be given an independ-
ent government, and since the German collapse we have
heard many proposals for the formation of new nations
out OF former German territory.
Spain was not a party to the war but Catalonia.
which has for some generations been treated as a part
of Spain, now claims independence. and We hav. thu
long standing demand of certain Irishmen for the crea-
ton OF a separate Irish nation, independent entirely OF
the British empire. Presumably, il the. movement, rot
wen under way, there would be found Welsh enthusiasts
~ "ouio INSIST on the restoration Of the ancient Welsh
k'nsoon' the scotchmen would restore the status that
existed before their James VI went to London to cucc..d
Elizabeth.
Manifesty, If the right Of all peoples to choose their
own government is conceded literally and without re-
serve. there would be no limit to the subdivision OF M.
tions, and, obviously. there must be a limit.
The organization Of human society which " . emil a
nation. when it functions naturally, successfully ana lust
~, has a right to protect its own existence. and q . . mart
OF tnat right 1t may protect itself against dtsmember-
ment' Just as the United States did on a historic occa-
sion.

THE PRESIDENT in ENGLAND

There have been so many 'firsts' in connection
with this war that the unusual has come to be accepted
as a matter of course. Hence the visit of President Will.
son to Great Britain may be set down as one of a null
tftude of unprecedented things once thought impossible
but now viewed with interest, but without excitement.
The interest which is taken by the British people in
the visit is shown in the demonstration which greeted
his arrival, and which have followed him in his goings
and comings in the brief time that has elapsed since
The dispatches assure us that no other foreign ruler has
ever been received with anything like the popular en-
thusiasm that has greeted the American president. and
that only on rare occasions has British royalty itself been
greeted with such demonstrations.
In a way it seems superfluous to remark that the
honors that have been paid to President Wilson in
France, and which are now being showered on him in
England. are national. rather than personal. And yet
the point is important, and needs to be constantly borne
in mind. OF Mr.. Wilson as an individual the British
people know next to nothing. They have had no occa-
sion, and little opportunity, to become acquainted with
head of the great nation beyond the seas that he is be-
ing received and honored.
There is a difference between the visit to France
and that to Great Britain. Both are official and inter-
national in cl~ racter. But the visit to France is a visit
to a warm friend, endeared to us by long and close as
ISOLATION and common effort, between whom and our
selves there exists a mutual esteem. mutual admiration,
mutual appreciation Of good qualities; while, that to
Great Britain is as the visit to a blood relative, bone of
our bone, and flesh Of our flesh, whose history we share,
and between whom and ourselves there exists the under
standing. which can exist in it's fulness only in the pres
ence of a common history and a common language.
The visit of the president to Carlisle brings forcibly
to mind the conditions which tend to create this COM
munity of thought and ideals. There in the northern
English city, the presidents mother was born, and while,
in the case OF a European ruler. such a fact would have
been merely an isolated chance circumstance, with little
meaning, here it typifies the great migration which peo-
pied this continent, in the main, with those of the Eng
disappearing race, which gave form to our institutions.

THE TWO TASKS OF
PEACEMAKERS
(From the Minneapolis Journal.)

(Fronl the Minneapolis Journal.)
The world peacemakers, broadly
speaking, have two tasks to perform:
To settle this war; and to prevent fu-
ture wars.
Apparently, it is the belief of Pres
ident Wilson that the two tasks are so
interrelated that both must be dis
posed Of at II time. A year ago
he outlined the fourteen terms or
principles of peace. These terms are
partly concerned with the immediate
issues of this war, and partly with the
prevention of all future war. But
fairly explicit as to how the issues Of
this war should be settled, he has
confined himself to g~eneralities as to
~preventives for future wars.
In the senate recently Henry c.
Lodge, the Republican leader, rein
forcing the argument Of Senator
Knox for a postponement Of the Sec
ond task till the first shall have been
accomplished. subjected the fourteen
terms to analysis on that basis. He
found that five of the fourteen are Of
clude them in the peace that will re-
constitute Europe would be likely to
lead to serious division among the AL
lies. Said he:
To bring forward propositions
not inseparably connected with
the immediate and difficult task
of making a binding peace with
Germany may ruin all by try
ing to do too much at once.
Such separable propositions he con-
ceives to be the abolition of secret
diplomacy, tho reduction Of arma-
n1ents. the removal Of economic bar
riers between the nations. the re-
definttlon of freedom of the seas. and
most important Of all-the forma-
ton Of a league of nations.
1t will be seen at once that there is
a fundamental distinction between
these detectives. and the physical
guarantees with which Germany must
be hedged about to insure the dura-
bility of peace.
AS Senator Lodge points out, these
are all things that need to be done to
insure the world against any renewal
of the German menace. To them
must be added one of the most i'm
portant problems of all-the rehabili-
tation of Russia.
Here, then. is material enough to
engage the utmost energies and re-
sources Of the peace conference for
many months to ome Fortunately
the Allies, including the United States.
are pretty well of one mind as to the
main outlines Of this program, but
there will be vast discussion and
negotiation over details.
To throw into the midst of agenda
like these the five separable PROPOSE
tons which Senator Lodge enumer-
ates and which eliminate in the
league of nations. looks like counting
trouble and inviting division. 1t would
be different if a league OF nations
were a necessary precedent to the car
rying out of these conditions of inn
mediate peace. Possibly, as the pres
ident suggests. a start" can be made
at the peace conference. The Allies
already constitute an all-powerful
league Of peace amply able to define
and efectuate a treaty which will
serve until the proposition is well
talked over.

handicapped hopelessly in the sharp
world competition that is here with
the ending of the war. Russian trade
is one Of the great prizes for which
the nations will contend. And the
Germans have this tremendous ad-
vantage; they have a foreign service
corps numbering probably 100000
who possess a thorough knowledge of
the Russian tongue and Of Russian
history, manners and customs. In
Russia. too. all affairs of business are
connected closely with family and so
cial life. knowledge of Russian is the
sole passport to confidence and favor.
w. Barnes Steveni, an authority on
world-trade subjects, said: III Great
Britain is to have anything like her
proper share in the big trade turn
over which must result from the, in
dustrial development of the Russian
empire. she will need at n to fol-
low in the footsteps of Germany and
encourage her coming business men
to make a practical study of Russian
markets, Russian trade conditions
and business opportunities, and, above
all, of the Russian tongue
D What is true of Great Britain is
equally true of America. This ex-
plains the. aroused interest in the
Russian tongue in some Of the great
trade centers of the United States.
