The appeal for this final service

here today in the form of telegram
from Secretary Carter Glass. as fol-
lowsa
The women of the United
States have made instant and
magnificent response to every call
which the government has made
to them. Through five Liberty
loans they have served with devo-
ton. With zeal and with self
sacrificing patriotism they have
bought bonds 10 the limit Of their
purchasing power and sold bonds
to the limit of human powers of
endurance, OF persuasion and of
steadfastness of purpose. Even
with the armistice signed they
have never ceased in their UNI
swerving devotion to duty in this
Victory Liberty Loan. They have
been pillars of power and towers
OF strength H. the selling organi-
cation. lndaunted by obstacles
and discouragement, they have
held their posts Al this crisis
Of the loan the government Of the
United States again sounds the
bugle Of further advance. In keen
realization of what women have
already done in this and other
campaigns, the treasury calls to
them in these closing days of the
loan, for service in a final rush
upon the field that will take the
loan over the last trench"

This is only one case out of thousands.
You should make the EATONIC test
in your own case at once. You have
everything to gain--not penny can
you lose, for we take all the risk. Your
own common sense, your own feelings,
tell you that good appetite, good di-
gestion, a good stomach, with the fever
poisons and effects of strong medicines
out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
You want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the "flu" fever
or colds, or any other illness that has
taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full OF pep
and enthusiasm-be able to work with
ease, instead of listlessly, half-heart-
eddy dragging out a mere existence.
So be sure to take a box OF EATONIC
home with you today. We cannot urge
this too strongly. III EATONIC fails
to give you positive beneficial results,
it will not cost you a penny. There is no
risk--the benefit is surely all for you.

TWO AMERICAN MILITARY POLICE
 HURT IN RIOT

London, Sunday, March s.--Corpo- ral c. R. Zimmerman and Private L.. N. Wilson, American military police men, who were injured during the fighting today between London police and soldiers and sailors, are resting quietly at a hospital tonight. It is not known how seriously they are hurt.
 The trouble began when Zinlmer- man and Wilson demanded that the civil police turn over to them two American sailors who had been ar rested in the vicinity of the Y. M. C.. A. Eagle Hut on a charge of playing craps. The argument grew bitter and finally the policemen drew batons and severely beat both soldiers. American, Canadian, Australian and g. few British soldiers protested and followed the policemen, with the four Americans, to the Bow street police headquarters. An unfounded report that Zimmerman was dead led to threats to storm the station. The po- lice charged the crowd, and William Van Sice and Edwin Rouland were injured. The crowd finally dispersed An American military officer who ar rived at the station soon after de- manded possession of the four men injured in the first melee, his de mand being granted. A number ot uninjured men were arrested but SC far no charges have been made against them

CLASS OF SALTS
 CLEANS KIDNEYS
If your Back is aching or bladder bothers, drink lots of water and eat
 less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels clean, by flu ihing them with a mild, harmless salts which re- moves the body's urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal ac- tivity. The function of the kidneys is tD filter the blood In 24 hours they strain from 1t 500 grains of acid and the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of water-you can't drink too much: also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn ing for 8 few days and your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate cIogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer is a source of irritation thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot ir- jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-weiter drink which everyone should take now and then to keeI their kidneys clean and active. Try this, also keep up the water drinking and no doubt you will wonder wha- became of your kidney trouble and backache-Adv.

LONDONERS NOT
 GOOD WALKERS
Didn't Know Way Home When Forced to Hike Recently.

LOT don, March 10-(Correspon-
 dence of the Associated Press)-There
 is @ legend in the United States that Englishmen are great walkers. If they are, the recent tube strike showed they don't walk in London. When this strike forced Londoners to walk they didn't even know the way home.
 Policemen were amazed. One big hobby who keeps the traffic straight at the foot of Ludgate Hill declared that ''city'' business men had kept
 him busy telling them how to get to some of the best known localities in
 London the first day of the strike. Its past belfef,'' he commented | with some indignation. "that a man can ride on a bus for years between his home and his office and still not | know the way when he has to foot l it."
 While the strike lasted great queues formed at the bus stops. There was | one at Hammersmith estimated to be | nearly a mile long. Men, women and children struggled desperately to ride. | Some of the women carried babies. l Many of the men were crippled sol dIers in hospital blue. Some of the 1 children were pale little girls, faint | from weariness.
 As the tube strike was co-incident with a strike of walters and kitchen staffs, thousa nds of hotel residents 1 had to do their walking hungry. l Overseas men, home for demobil1-
 zation, emerging from railway stations with their heavy kits, discovered they
 would have to walk to the other side i of London.
 1 London is certainly mean to me,
 said an American soldier cheerfully. Last time I visited here on leave | there was a bus strike. Time before I that the taxis had quit"
 British Tommies during the tube l strike stopped a Royal Air Force
 Lorry, throwing their kits into i | while they bargained with the driver
 to take them to their destination. 1 Many West End business houses pu | their motor delivery vans at the dis
 posal of home going women and aget men employees. In the huge and end i less processions of pedestrians home 1 ward bound of an evening 1t was curi ous to Americans to note the large number of old people-mostly men gray-haired clerks of the shops ant
 "city'' brokerage offices.
 Besides delivery vans and lorrtes many rode in Red Cross ambulances T Thousands were awheel, rusted bicy
 cles having been brought to hgh firm many a basement.
 .i Girl conductors showed skill an' patience in the emergency. The con
 ductorettes kept a watchful eye on tn
 struggling crowds for the hospita , blue. "Fu1l-up except for that lam

 and the crowd would fall back to le

CONVERSION IS
 CHANGE OF HEART

Twice Born Men" was the subject of the sermon given by Dr. William Horace Day at the United church yesterday morning and a large con- gregation found the discourse very interesting. Conversion is a change of heart, a matter of motive, of affec- tion," said Dr. Day. Tt is the vol untary turning of the soul from self seeking to God-pleasing.
 Tt can be either too sudden or gradual. Many preachers and Chris tianS have assumed that the eNperi-
 ence of re'tgion is all of one variety.
 That is a solutely untrue. It is a second birth that comes from above. We are cleansed from the things that defile. We are empowered so that we are able to accomplish that which l hitherto we were impotent to do. Conversion means that we have passed from death unto life, that we are not a once born man but a twice born man.
 I Ut doesn't appeal to us, however, if we think of it only as a matter of personal salvation. We haven't T great deal of use for a purely selfish desire for salvation. Willard Sperry said a very il uninating thing in the Atlantic -fonthly when he reminded
 Us that the men who have had the
 daily experience of great self-denial overseas will not be content to have i the appeal for selfish personal saliva tion. They will see the true salvation
 simpI-- Is the beginning of an incl
 dent j, the great process of self-ded- 1 ication to Gods cause, which is a job that takes a life time, and conversion 1 is the first step in the lifelong pro-
 cess of self-dedtcation."

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
f Mixed with Sulphur It DarlienS so Naturally
 Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe, and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when & youth full appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage anG he mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to- use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular because nobody can discover 1t has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn i' he gray hair disappears, bu, what de. Shts the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, be- sides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro- duces that soft Iustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.
