Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live
well, eat well, digest well, work we'll,
sleep we'll look well. What a glorious
condition to attain, and yet how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel dull
and heavy when they rise, splitting
headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue,
nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as daisy by opening the
sluices of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well
should, each morning, before breakfast,
drink glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful Of limestone phophate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and bowels the previous days in
digestible waste, sour bile and poisonous
toxins; this cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach. The action of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 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 large
volume Of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of all
the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-
ders and sickly compilations are urged
to get quarter pound Of limestone phos.

concentrations of the national war adj
justing committee, which is working out
a national policy for sterilization OF
wages of all skilled and unskilled labor
employed on government work, were
published to-day. They affected ship
workers and anthracite coal miners.
The recommendations as 10 ship work
e-s were put into immediate effect by
the shipbuilding labor adjustment board
but no announcement was made by the
fuel administration affecting miners
and some officials Of that agency said
the announcement was premature. The
recommendations, however, were expect
ed to be carried out as soon as President
Wilson announces his approval of the
general plan of sterilization.
The shipbuilding award provides a
general scale of so cents an hour Tor
skilled workers, but rates of piece work
are not to be changed until after con.
ference here this week between repre-
sentatives Of the shipyards and piece
workers Unsl1illed workers were given
substantial increases and provision is
made for reviewing the award every
six months and increasing the wages to
meet increased costs of living.
Generally the country was divided into
two districts, one for the Pacific coast
and one for the Atlantic, gulf and Great
lakes. In the first increases OF 20 per
cent were allowed and in the second Is
per cent. The Pacific coast award is
retroactive TO Aug. /.
For anthracite coal miners, the com.
mittee recommended wages ranging from
AZ cents an hour for laborers outside
the mine to estimated average earnings
for contract miners of approximately
$3.50 day.

NO CAMOUFLAGE
A Real Strengthening and Toning Medi-
cine for the Kidneys.

When your kidneys are weak and tor.
pid they do not properly perform their
functions; your back aches and you dc
not feel like doing much Of anything
You are likely to be Respondent and to
borrow trouble, just as if you hadn't
enough already. Don't be victim any
longer
Hoods Sarsaparilla gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up the
whole system. 1t combines the best in,
gradients that doctors use for kidney
troubles, such as mandrake and other
valuable roots, herbs, barks and berries.
No other medicine is so helpful, be-
cause no other medicine has the same
formula or ingredients.--Ady.

Entomologists Prepare for War Service.

Because Of the possible need of large
number of entomologists for service in
the army as entomologists sanitarians,
especially in connection with the ''cootie'
problem, class in the entomology Of
disease, hygiene, and sanitation meets
regularly in the bureau Of entomology
Of the department of agriculture in
Washington. The proceedings of this
class have been mimeographed and sent
throughout the country to entomologists
who have enrolled. In this way knowl-
edge of the control of disease-carTying
insects has been greatly increased among
entomologists, making them better
equipped to render such service as the
war department may call for.
