WHEN YOU WAKE
UP. DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash The poisons and toxins from
systcm before putting moro
food Into stomach.

| Wash yourself on the inside before
| breakfast like you do on the outside.
| This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
| ties into the blood causing illness.
while the bowel pores do.
| For every ounce of food and drink
| taken itno the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
| it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins, which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
/ to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
! drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els; thus cleansing, sweetening and
freshening the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
plate costs but very little at the
drug store but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on inside bath
ing. Men and women who are az
customed to wake up with a dull,
aching head or have furred tongue,
bad taste, nasty breath, sallow COM
plexion, others who have bilious at
tacks, acid stomach or constipation
are assured of a pronounced improve
ment in both health and appearance

Maintaining Chinese Mail Service.

In a little more than twenty years
China has built up a national postal
system which is one OF the best and
cheapest in the world, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. This has been
done in spite Of extraordinary diff
ficulties. due not only to the vast
ness Of the population and territory
served, but also to the fact that in
recent years the monarchy has given
place to a republic. and several prov
inces have declared their independ-
ence. Regardless of revolutions. the
service has been maintained.
Since there are only about $50
miles Of railway for carrying mail in
China a big part OF the transporta-
ton is done on boat lines aggregat-
ing n 600 miles. and by courier lines

In my recent private interview with

triaD men OF the country, / find that
they have a serious objection 10 the
new draft bill in its present formation,
that Is. they do not savor the age

contend that boy OF IS has not the
grade and quality as a citizen, es a
rule; he is not fully prepared TO as
sumo his responsibilities In the broad
er field OF his own independent life.
They further say the home Of any
people are the very beginnings Of ITS
progress. the very centers of Its law
and order. and OF its social and po-
litical prosperity. They are the CEN
trail points around which the crystal
liking and solidifying process OF na-
uonal life and growth can alcEe be
carried forward. Therefore, il the men
OF 45 are drafted. the great 1oIhiauon

Editor The Washington Herald: /
want TO thank you for your recent
editorial condemning the Woman's
party for its new attack upon the
President and the Congress. 1t seems
to me that nothing that could have
been thought up by the enemies OF
suffrage could be so ingeniously de-
vised to prevent the passage OF the
amendment at the re-opening OF Con-
gress.
1t had been the belief and the. hope
OF the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association. as / know il has
been Of the President of the United
States, that the amendment would go
through so soon as Congress recon-
vened. As you have seen by some OF
the letters written by President Will
son personally to Senators, he has
been working very earnestly and con-
sistently toward that object.
Who do you suppose furnishes the
money, and who would be benefited
by a return of the public nagging
OF the President and the Congress on
this subject? Who would be especially
pleased TO have banners accusing the
President of a lack of democracy and
OF sincerity? Who so certainly as
the Germans and the vice interests
would object to the passage Of the
amendment? I sometimes wonder II
the finances come from that source

IDENoUNcEs PENSION SYSTEM.
Most Monumental Fraud This
SIDE Of Germany"

Editor The Washington Herald:
Your editorial, We've Learned
Our Lesson" is interesting in that
IL shows how badly the people are
deceived. Al this moment Il is Just
as much as possible 20 get q claim
through the Pension Office without
big political influence as Il is for
the I,roverbisl camel TO go through
the eye OF the finest cambric needle.
IL a man should return from the
battlefield OF France now and ask
a pension for wounds received In
line OF duty he would be required
to furnish the names of two Of his
comrades as witnesses. notwith-
standing every man In his unit may
have been left on the field dead.
The officials who administer pen
sion law throw every possible OBJ
stacle in the way of the claimant.
and look upon him as an imposter
and cheat. You are woefully mis-
taken IL you believe the road TO q
pension is going 10 be made easier
by the great sacrifice men are now
making for liberty and democracy.
Right now there are clerks In tre
pension bureau scrutinizing the
records of draftees for any little
defect OF vision or hearing. and
though they are passed and induct-
ed into service they will some day
be confronted with these imper-
fections when they apply for ad-
mission to the pension rolls. The
present pension administration is
the most monumental fraud this
side Of Germany. and has been stnce
its inauguration. 1t ought TO be
Investigated by Congress. II needs
the limelight OF pitiless publicity.
The press OF our country owes il
to its fighting men to see to 81 that
they don't fall into the hands Of
the present pension officials.
Just think! An applicant may
pass an examination physically
that entities him to the maximum
pension and yet have his claim re-
Jected. No ground need be stated.
no reason given. The trouble Is too
much discretion is lodged in the
commissioner of pensions. No duty
required of an officer Of the law
should be left discretionary, but
made mandatory. No man is GOOD
enough to exercise autocratic DOW
er in this or any other country.
II you want the heroes now suf-
fering the horrors OF war TO be
treated with proper consideration
and enjoy the blessings outlined in
your splendid editorial begin now
an agitation 20 have the pension
bureau ripped up from top to bot
tom and placed on a common-sense
basis. so that favoritism, prejudice.
or bigotTy cannot play a part in
adjudicating claims. All the men
now in service are not taking out
insurance. Less than half are do
ing so. The others will be left to
the tender mercies Of beaureaucrat Is
who will be endeavoring TO make
a record for economy in order that
they may hold their jobs under
some administration obsessed with
the idea Of saving the dear peoples
money and prolonging their politt-
cal lives.
The people mean well. no doubt.
but their wstchmen on the walls
the newspapers-don't keep them
posted as they should on the
shortcomings Of their servants.
Thank you for the editorial: IL
evinces an interest that is helpful
and encouraging.
Respectfully,
OLD SOLDIER
