"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.

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

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.

DRINK HOT WATER
REFORE RREAKFAST
EVERY MORNING
Hopes every man and woman here will adopt
this splendid health habit.
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
