I Win It Itot'TK TO YKM.OWSTONK NOW OPEN The Herald a Bee has received word thai the road by way of Lan der. Wyo., to the southern entrance tO Yellowstone National Park, is no open This road, which has hither to been little used by tourists, has recently been put in llrst-class con dition, and, Otrini to its scenic gran deur and the abundance of wild game In th vicinity. Is bound to bo partic ularly attractive to motor tourists. From the park to I. unlet, t he dis tance, which Is 200 miles, can be easily covered by auto In two days. This road Is expected to be one of the popular feeders of the Lincoln Highway, which passes throtigh RawIlM, inn miles from Lander, Other roads leading from Lander which are now In good shape for tourist travel are from Lander to Casper. I.ri0 miles, and from Iander to Hock Springs, approximately 140 miles. The Heal bfJRJMtte To keep the bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor exercise.

Adv- iiug "NOT TO UK TOO Kit AY K" There is a lesson of great Import ance that spirited young Americans who go to the firing line in r ranee must learn This ti to keep their pride and daring under control anil avoid exposing themselves unneces sarily. Front a French drill master who has had American recruits in training are quoted these significant words: "As human beings and raw material your men are the very beat. But they need a deal of training. The hardest thing to teach them is not to be too brave. They must learn first to hide. Thnt's the first essen tial in this war. Bravery and human flesh are no good against machine guns or barrage lire. Those splen did fellows will want to go right nt the enemy just us the English did, who are just now learning how to strike without risking themselves too much. Methods In this war are largely those of stealth; In using nu n wllh plenty of artillery, machine guns and airplanes." Herman nut hods have robbed war of much of Its former glory snd caused a reversion to the tactics of primitive ssvngery. Hard though It be, the young American must curb his pride of nlor and fight as his an cestors were compelled to fight the Indians. We and our allies are at war not only against autocracy and for the safety of democracy hut for a restoration of civilised methods In order that war may again become at last suggestive of a gentleman's game. Humiliating defeat for the German militarists Is necessary for the latter reason ns well as for the former. certainty was Impossible. Transport liter transport passed through float' lug oil streaked with slimy red and patched with wreckage." This ac count. while disposing of the charge of exaggeration, is st the seme time a tribute to tho destroyer. According to Senator Town3end of Michigan, it is not the advisory com mission of the Council of National Defense that the public has to fear, ss alleged, but "the horde of vultures who have swoopod down on Washing ton looking for fat contracts, and who, disappointed at not getting them, have become scandalmongers villifying those who have kept them from getting their clutchen on the government's money." This is strong There can be no popular r volution in Germany, accord;-'- io M--.X Nor dau, because "the G.rman s:ul has been methodically perrorted, demor alized by the Instruction if LJl6 ad ministration, by literature and prop aganda,, by InteUaetttC fraud deceit fullly organized, and by terrorism in academic, official and socie.l circles." The new First Lord of the British Admirality is to "concentrate on the subhniarines." To b? original he ought also to sink a few. Michaelis. the new German Chan cellor, evidently bases his hopes of victory on his country's submarines and America'.s lack of tonnafe. All thi more reason for putting an end to the dissension in our Shipping Hoard nndpr Qceedlng with the work of acquiring touting 0 at topmost speed. General Von Stein. Germa.i Minis ter of War. having called attention to "an excessive anxiety and faint-heart edness that is troubling many per sons." the Kaiser, who had noticed the same thing, sought consolation in a sermon from his court chaplain on the text, "The ord on high is The Berliner Tagoblatt's parting kick at Bethtnan-Holiweg includes the complaint that the retiring Chan cellor "regarded every warning about avoiding a breach with Amer ica as a symptom of incurable phllo Yankeeism or of shameful weakness. It remains to bo Been wh:ther Mi chaelis is any less stupid. A man hr.s been sentenced to a year's imprisonment for circulating a rumor that there had been a disaster to the American navy, another has been punished for cursing ihe Amer ican flag, and still others have been sent to jail for talking against the United States. If the disloyal have not learned to keep their mouths shut, it is not because they have not been duly warned. I Ml llHKTUOVKIt A Ml'CCHHM Both sides have learned that the submarine hasn't a chance against the destroyer as a fighting craft, ac cording to a London correspondent of the New York Sun. Among the reasons given are that the submarine can not travel nearly so fast as the destroyer, that the destroyer haB more guns and heavier ones, and that it can dodge the torpedo, while the submarine can not dodge the de stroyer's gun fire. All this Is Inter esting In connection with the effort to belittle the story of the submar ine attack on our transports and the effective fight put up by our destroy ers. This effort, with Its charges of exxageration against the official ac count Issued from Washington, has been surprising, to say the least. Both the otiin.il story of the at tack and the claims of efficiency made for the destroyer are confirm ed by the account of an "eye witness" secured by the New York Times. Dis cussing the second and less serums attack, this eye witness says that a line of bubbles was left on the water by a torpedo that missed Its mark, that an American destroyer ran down the line of bubbles at a speed of 40 miles an hour like a hound on a trail, and that there was evidently a collision. "A column of smoke und foam rose a hundred feet In the air, and In the waterspout that fol lowed It the soldiers on the nearest transport distinguished clearly piec es of wood and steel and some dark blue fragments that a moment be fore had been living men. Any un- TH H 'ANTONM KNTS Few things are done which prac tically everybody approves and noth ing Is done to which some one does not object. There Is some criticism of the names of four of the canton ments and much criticism of the lo cation of a majority of them; yet the criticism of names can be understood, while the criticism of location Is dif ficult to explain. Four of the thirty two cantonments are designated by the names of four officers of the Southern Confederacy, Lee, Beaure gard. Gordon and Wheeler, while twenty-eight are named for northern officers of the Civil War and for of ficers of our other wars. It Is only to be expected that at least a few northerners' of Ihe older generation, win .till remember the Civil War with bitterness, should object to the inclusion of even these few Confed erate names. For this part of the criticism, therefore, there Is reason, though not good reason. But for the criticism of location there Is no reason at all. Twenty Of the cantonments are located In the South including Maryland and Ken-tucRy--and soldiers from many northern states will be trained there. Only twelve cantonments are located In the North, West and the Pacifis states. It Is charged that the South has been favored, and there may be commercial advantage In the near residence of training troops. But It is at once obvious that It Is the tax payers who are really "favored" by the choice of so many Southern loca tions. The government can not af ford the needless expense and waste of energy Involved In both winter and summer camps for training men and from the practical point of view alone It Is highly desirable that as many cantonments as possible be lo cated In mild climates where the snow will not He In winter.

Says a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it washes poisons from system, and makes one feel clean, sweet and fresh. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despon dent, worried ; some days head achy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapacitated by ill ness. If we all would practice the drinking of pbosphated hot water before breakfast, wha a gratify ing change would take place. In stead of thousand! of half -sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions wc should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy cheeked people everywhere. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste 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 in the bowels which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the Hie will burn bright andV hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumula tion 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 a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it, as a harm less means of washing- out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and puri fying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, sick head aches, rheumatism, lumbago, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning-inside bath. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate will not cost much it the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone its cleans ing sweetening and freshening effect upon the systeia
