Start:
and. Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In tho habit Of drinking a
glass Of hot water: before
breakfast.

We're not here long, SO let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat we'll, digest well. work we'll, sleep
well, and look well. what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy It is II one will only adopt the
morning inside bath. ..
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache. stufy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning: and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with q teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate In 1t to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days ~indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
slimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate Is quietly extracting
q large volume Of water from the
blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get q
quarter pound Of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This Will cost
very little, but Is sufficient to make
anyone q pronounced crank on the
subject of inside.bathfng before break

NURSES NEEDED IN
military HOSPITALS
Surgeon General Asks Red Gross Te
Supply 5000 Nurses

Surgeon General Gorgas Of the
United States army has called upon
the American Red Cross to supply to
the Army Nurse Corps five thousand
nurses between now and the first OF
June. These nurses are needed for
service in the military hospitals both
in this. country and abroad. Although
the Red Cross has already supplied
nearly 1000 nurses as a reserve for
the Army and Navy Nurse Corps since
the beginning Of the war, the impera-
tive need for a greater army Of nurses
grows daily as the wal progresses.
According to q statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is estimat-
ed that there are between eighty and
ninety thousand registered nurses in
the United States, and that approx
mately thirty thousand will be need
ed for service in army hospitals during
the present year. The immediate need
for Ave thousand of these Is empha-
sized.
Miss Jane A. Delano, Director Of the
Department Of Nursing Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross said:
mo Ouly dlO VIC oPPSoAthS sAS
nurses to volunteer for this service,
but we also appeal to the public and to
the physicians employing these nurses
to aid in making it possible for them,
without too great financial sacrifice
On their part, to hold themselves in
readiness to respond to the call Of
their country. We wish also to bring
to. the attention Of nurses the unusual
opportunity offered by the insurance
law enacted for the protection Of our
army and navy which applies equally
to nurses assigned to duty as members
of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps.
"A great responsibility rests upon
The nurses Of the country. They are
The only group Of women recognized
as q part of the military establishment,
and should be looked upon as the rep
reeentatiyes Of the womanhood Of
America at the front.
"Not only should the other women
NJ the country encourage nurses to
vo,unteer for service, but they should
make every effort possible to protect
Yhe nurses holding themselves ready
for service and share with them the re-
sponsibility and sacrifices necessary"

GENERAL PERsHING PRAISES
AMERICAN FIGHTING MEN
IN FRANCE.


In a recent communication to Sec
rotary of War Baker, the command
er of the American Expeditionary
Forces said:
~ There has never been a similar
body of men to lead as clean lives as
our American soldiers in France.
They have entered this war with the
highest devotion to duty and with no
other idea than to perform these
duties in the most efficient manner
possible. They fully realize their
obligation to their own people, their
friends, and the country. A rigid
program of instruction is carried out
daily with traditional American en-
thusiasm. Engaged in healthy, in
teresting exercises in the open air,
with simple diets, officers. and men,
like trained athletes. are ready for
their tasks. Forbidden the use of
strong drink and protected by strin-
gent regulations against sexual evils.
and supported by their own moral
courage, their good behavior is the
subject of most favorable comments,
especially Ny our allies. American
mothers may rest assured that their
sons are a credit to them and to the
Nation, and they may well look for
ward to the proud day when on the
battle field these splendid young
men will shed a new luster on Am
erican manhood"
