navy in order that the navv quota
may be f iled. . - .
Our boys are distinguishing
themselves byi their cleanliness
and jovial spirits while at the
Front. They believe that " Clean
liness is next to Godliness."
It is an indisputable fact "that
people can keep healthy and well
in no better way than by keeping
their bodies clean, inside and out.
Many thousands of people are
killed every year by allowing
toxic poisons to accumulate
within the body, and then they
fall victims to fevers and all sorts
of maladies with special names.
The only way to keep thoroughly
well is to drink plenty of water
daily, bathe frequently, apd take
some good -laxative like ' Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Cleanse
the system inside as well as out
side. These pellets " of Doctor
Pierce's are made of May-a)ple,
