ter as that just passing, this hope
this premise is richer and more
precious than ever.
But Lenten opportunity opens
wide this year. Our country has
been through a great deal during
the last, and wonders have bee IN ac-
complished, but much more is still to
be done, and until every American
has consecrated himself to the ines
capable obligation he owes his eoun-
try of giving it, if needs be, every
thing he possesses, both spiritual
and material. the dawning of that
other and more wonderful spring
that will come with the declaration
of victorious and permanent peace
will be postponed, perhaps indefi-
nitely.
The observance of Lent teaches US
that the religiousi fathers of the ear
ly days of the Church realized the
necessity for abstinence, for fasting
in a word, Tor self-denial-in the
process Of spiritual development.
Humanity, however, is not construc-
ted so that it can practice continu-
Gus regime of asceticism, and the OBJ
servance of the forty days that or
thodoXy has fixed as an inviolable
fixture of the Church calendar is
probably about as much as could be
expected.
The American people, however,
have got to learn new lessons in self
denial, of how to live on consider
ably less than they are accustomed
to, of individual and collective econ
omy. This need not bring with it
an epoch of suffering nor of mater
ial deprivation, nor need it be ac-
companied by lamentations and the
voicing of complaints. All that it
requires is as strict observance of
economic standards of living, and
this can be done simply by the pro-
cess of elimination of the waste for
which the nation in the past has
been notorious.-News.

A Toast

A young Kentuckian, formerly a
resident of Washington, now gun
ner's mate in the United States Ma
Wy, writes these verses:
Here's to the Blue of the wind-swept
North,
When We met on the fields of
France;
May the spirit of Grant be with you
AS the sons of the North advance.
And here's to the Gray of the sun
kissed South,
When we meet on the fields of
France:
May the spirit CT Lee be with you all
AS the sons of the South advance.
And here's to the Blue and Gray as
one,
When we meet on the fields of
France:
May the spirit of God be with us all
AS the sons of the Flag advance.
One reason why a woman likes to
marry a millionaire is because it
will make all her friends so jealous.

DRINK HOT WATER
 BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and
 are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath O a dull. dizzy headache; or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids. you have real surprise await ing you.
 Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is intended to first neutralize and then wash out Of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indi- gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal.
 Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone pl16spbate from the drug store and begin enjoying this morning in side-bath. It is said that men and women who try this become enthu- siastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurl- ties into the blood, causing disease, while the bowel pores do.
 The principle of bathing inside Is not new, as'millions of people practice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels Limestone pnos- phate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless.
