Washington. Nov. 13. Prepara
tion by the government for rein
suring the lives of 'soldiers and
sailors on their return have' been
hastened by the signing of the arm
istice. Although regulations have
not yet been fully drafted, it is cer
tain that each of the 4,250,000 men
in the military or naval service now
holding voluntary government in
surance will be permitted within five
years afier. peace is declared to
convert it without further medical
examination into ordinary life, 20?
pay life, endowment maturing at the
ase of 62, or other prescribed forms
of insurance.
This insurance will be arranged
by the government, not by private
companies, and the cost is expected
to be at least die-fourth less than
similar forms -offered by private
agencies. l'rivate companies would
not write insurance on many
wounded men.
Premiums Monthly.
" The government will arrange to
collect premiums monthly, if men
wish to pay this wry, or Tor lonper
periods in advance. This may bev
done through posioffices. The min
imum amount of insurance to be
issued probably will be $1,000 and
the maximum $104)00, with any
amount between these sums in' mul
tiples of $500. 'There will be pro
vision for payments in case of dis
ability as well as death, according
to the tentative plan. The insur
ance may be purchased by any

For months pat the morale of
the German soldiers has been a
source of g rent anxiety to their offi

Headache of anv kind, is caused
by auto-intoxlcation which means
self-poisoning. Liver and bowel poi
sons called toxins, sucked into the
blood, through the lymph ducts, ex
cite the heart which pumps the
blood -so fast that it congests in the
smaller arteries and veins of the
head producing violent, throbbing
pain and distress, called headache.
You become nervous, despondent,
sick, feverish and miserable, your
meals sour and almost nauseate you.
Then you resort to acetanilide,
aspirin or tho bromides which tem
porarily relieve but do not rid the
blood of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestoie phosphate in
it, drank t before breakfast for
awhile, will not only wash these
poisons from jour system and cure
you of headache But 'will cleanse,
purify, and freshen the entire ali
mentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quar
ter pound ,of limestone phosphate.
Itis inexpensive1, harmless as sugar.

if tongue is coated or you wake up
with bad taste, foul breath or have
colds, indigestion, biliousness, con

EUROPE NEEDS
HELP IN FOOD
UNTILSPRING
British Administrator Says the
Situation is Serious and In
timates Further. Sacri-'
f ie'efs Necessary.
London, Nov. 13. John-' Robert
Clynes, Britjsh food controller, said
today that the food situation in
Europ continues to be serious,
necessitating larger shipments until
spring. He said that he confidently
expected America to back up any
British sacrifices which might be
tiecessary in behalf of the needy
peoples of Eurbpe.
Mr. Clynes remarked that the sit
uation had been prevented from
becoming critical only by the fact
that a certain amount of wheat flour
reserves had accumulated in Eng
land. .
He contiifued: "We are not yet
sufficiently informed as . to condi
tions in liberated and enemy coun
tries to announce any definite policy.
In liberated countries we are doing
'our best to meet emergencies as
they arise, but this naturally in
volves an increase in what we previ
ously estimated to be the minimum
amount of imported food required
by the allies from the United States,
Canada and elsewhere.
' What action may be incumbent
t.pon the allies remain's to be seen
One thing is certain, that allied food
control must be continued at any
rate for many months after peace
and probably be extended to take
on international scope.
Need United States' Help.
"To effectively carry out this plan,
1 he allies in Europe, during .the
vital period 'of recuperation, must
rely upon a continuation of the far
lighted policy of the United States
government in providing credits for
food supplies.
"Apart from the allied situatioft
as a whole, the commodities urgent
ly needed in the British isles are
meat, butter, cheese and cattle feeds.
Unless there is an improvement in
the supplies of these commodities,
the present meager rations are like
ly to be cut down and cattle sup
plies of the country may be reduced
to such a minimum as to involve
a long continued strain on the meat
supplies available from other parts
of the world.
"There is a strong feeling in this
country that the bare necessities
of life shall continue indefinitely un
der government'control. This gath
ers strength from ever rising prices.
I hope it may, be possible to devise
some plan of international action
by which prices can he brought to
an equitable basis and all profiteer
ing in foodvjiecessary to maintain
human existence may be eliminated.
