GOOD ADVICE TO SOLDIERS.

In his farewell to the men of the
famous Yankee Division at Camp Dew
ems Chaplain Michael J. O'Connor said
in part
Men YOU have done your full duty
to your country; don I spoil that good
work by expecting more than your
share. Your country needs your serv-
ice still. Let your training and expe-
rience stand YOU well in your future
course. You do not need any special
consideration, for you are better fitted
than any others to take your place in
the service of your state and nation.
1t would be hard to speak more
truth and sound advice than Chaplain
| o Conner did in these few sentences.
1t is an acknowledgement of noble
service and of special fitness for future
service, warning against the error of
selfshness and an expression of the
country 5 demand ''our country
needs your service still. -
The return of the soldiers is more
than a reunion with home and friends
! il is n re-enlistmcnt in the forces OF
good civil government. The state and
nation seriously need the service of al
returned soldiers in bringing govern
ment back to its proper powers anC
action. America cannot continue gov
eminent control of private business
government favoritism to classes o.
government dictatorship without pro
ducing government bankruptcy. j
cannot suppress these government evil
without the full support Of its citizens
whether soldier or civilian, and we lool
to the boys returning to the ranks o
civilian citizenship for their full serv
ice in correcting these evils. Dom
spoil that good work" but give you
community, your state and your coun
try a just, safe and sane government
and in civil life add to the laurels wo
on the battlefields.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent, wor-
ried; some days headachy. dull and
unstrnng; some days really incapacitat
ed by illness.
II we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our present
mode of living For every ounce of
food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material must
be carried out, else it ferments and
forms ptomaine-like poisons which are
absorbed into the blood:
Just as necessary as it is to clean the
ashes from the furnace each day, be-
fore the fire will burn bright, and hot,
so we must each morning clear the in
side organs of the previous days ac-
emulation of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised TO drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with teaspoonful of
| limestone phosphate III it, as a harmless
means of washing out of the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels the indigesti.
bic material waste, sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation. bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning insidebath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate viii not
cost much at the drug store, but is sui.
feient to demonstrate to anyone its
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
effect upon the systcm.-Ady.

A DUTY TO OUR BOYS.

Our boys who have just returned
from overseas service should get as
rousing end enthusiastic a welcome to-
day as can be given. Our hearts and
hands 90 out to them and our hearts
to their associates who are left behind
on the battlefelds of France. Nothing
is too good for these men. They bring
home from Europe the story of the
awful experience over there and their
return is evidence that the fighting is
over.
But, while our welcome should be.
and cannot help being, of the most
cordial sort, still the glad hand, a
fine display of flags, a reception, are
not enough These brave fellows who
have fought their fight are no char
ity subjects. 1t is not up to us to
take care of them. They have their
own way to make And still it is al
wrong to assume that they will, OF
course drop back into their old places
and that nobody need do anything
more than bid them welcome The
have made the great risk to save oui
homes from the blood thirsty Germans
If they do not find employment, ther
it must be found for them. This
ism t charity; it is the simplest graft
tude, duty that we owe to every one
Of them. The ex-soldier out of jot
is reproach to his community.
