Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit of drinking a
glass of hot water before
breakfast.
We're not Jiere long, so let's make our
stay agreeable. LYet us live well, eat
well, digest well, work well, sleep well,
and look well. What a glorious condition
to attain, and yet, how very easy it is
if one will only adopt the morning in
side bath.
- Folks who are accustomed to feel dull
and haevy when they' arise, splitting
headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue,
nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the
sluices of the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the internal
poisonous, stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well,
should,, each morning, before breakfast,
drink a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver and
bowels the previous day's indigestible
waste, onr bile and poisonous toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach. The ac
tion of hot water and limestone, phos
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out all the
sour fermentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid apetite
for breakfast, while you are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phosphate
is quietly extracting a large volume of
water from the blood and getting ready
for a thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are both
ered with constipation, billious spells,
stomach trouble; others who have sal
low skin's,- blood disorders and sickly
complexions are urged to get a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from the
drug store. This will cost very little,
but. is sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of inside
bathing before breakfast. Adv.

REGAINS WEIGHT,
WHEN THIN BLOOD
BECOMES HEALTHY
People Run Down in Health Are Among
First to Succumb to Epi
demic Diseases.
This is the time of the year when
many people allow themselves to get into
what is commonly termed a "run-down
condition." This means generally that
they are without ambition, listless, tire
easily, sleep lightly or not at all, are sub
ject to headaches and have no appetite
for their meals. The condition is not seri
out in itself, but It may have serious
results, because the victim's resistance to
disease is lowered, and the first people to
fall victim to the influenza epidemics
were those who were debilitated and
who were suffering from thin blood and
weak, undernourished mrves.
Now is the time to build up your
blood before the more trying days of
spring arrive. Pure blood will bring
strength to the nerves and to the weak
ened organs and will create a desire for
wholesome food.
The successful use of a blood building
tonic is well illustrated in the case of
Miss Winifred Doyle of No. 3 George
street, Burlington, Vt. She nays:
"1 was in a badly run-down condi
tion last spring, due I-think to confin
ing, indoor work and lack of plenty of
fresh air. 'I couldn't sleep at night and
suffered from frequent sick headaches. I
lost twenty-six pounds in a nbort time.
'T saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills men
tioned in a newspaper and decided to try
them. Two weeks' trial improved my
condition so much that 1 continued the
treatment for five weeks. As a result I
have regained my lost, weight, I'm
stronger, no longer have headaches and
can sleep soundly. I have recommended
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to many of my
friends for I am frure that they will find
them effective." ' .
The purpose of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is to build up the blood. They
do this one thing and they do it well.
They are for this reason an invaluable
remedy in diseases arising from bad or
deficient blood, as rheumatism, neural
gia, after-effects of the grip and fevers.
The pills are guaranteed to 1m free from
opiates or any harmful drug and cannot
iniure the most delicate system.
"Building I'p the Blood" is a booklet
full of useful information. Every moth
er and every growing girl should have
one. It is sent free on request by the
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
V Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills or they will be sent by
mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, fifty
cents per box; six lioxe for !2.f0. Do not
pay more. Adv.
BERLIN' CORNERS
Annual Meeting of the Congregational
Church a Pleasant Affair.
The annual dinner and after-meeting
of the Berlin Corner church was held on
Friday. Tables were spread in both the
upper and lower parlors and were well
liiied with the friends present. After en
joying the good things provided by the
ladies' Lend a-Hand society, adjournment
was made to the church, where the pro
gram commenced with singing by the
children's choir, under the able direction
of Wilbur Brown. They also Rang other
selections during the meeting. The pas
tor gave a resume of the work of the
preceding year, noting how the stirring
events of the times had been kept in
view, not merely in the public prayers
of the church, but in the sermons that
had been delivered, among the timely
topics having been "The Religion of the
Soldiers." "Mother Ixtve and the War,"
'Christ mas. Its Me-sage of Peace to a
War Devastated World," etc.
The membership of the church has
slightly increased, all Indebtedness was
paid and next year largely provided for.
The pastor has been introducing chil
dren's stories into the morning service
and in order to find out if this met with
approval of the congregation, he a-ked
for those who wished the practice con
tinued to show it by the uplifted hand.,
A unanimous favorable response was the
result.
The Lend a Ilatid society during the
year re-papered two parlors, dining room
ami hall in the parsonage. The Sirnd iy
school, under the able leadership of Mrs.
W. 11. Turner as superintendent, is shott
ing a marked increase in attendance,
while Mrs. Charles Broun, as treasurer,
raised the balance in hand ot ten cenu
at the close of 1017 to above S10 at the
end of 1!I8.
Two deaths among the six in the com
munity were referred to as especially af
fecting the church, tho-e of Miss Olive
Guernsey, who hud been very active in
church work, and Mrs. Lucy Pearson,
who. passing away at the advanced age
of !(2, had been both the oldest member
of the church r.nd community.
The pastor recorded the number of
pastoral calls as over 350 aud mentioned
the fact that he had received 13 letters
from the lii boys on the honor roil.
The church has been the center of war
work and has tried to do its full share
of Bed Cross. Liberty loan and kindred
work. ' Mrs. Julia Selina read a very
interesting letter descriptive of what he
had seen in the city of Paris, where he
is quartered, fr.mi Clarence Pike, one of
the hoys over there.
Thus the Berlin church closed another
year with the joy of service and looks
forward with the hope of God's blessing
and help of being of better service still
to the community.

LABOR CLAUSES IN TREATY.
Provisions Advocated by Justin Godart
and Others.
Justin Godart, who made his reputa
tion as chief of the service de sante of
the French army, declares that the treaty
of peace "should include an agreement
by the signatory powers to realize, by an
international labor legislation, humane
conditions of labor in commerce, agri
culture and industry, at the same lime,
safeguarding the general and vocational
education of the child, maternity, family
life, social life, physical and moral
health." (Petit Pari.s'ien, Dec. 2, 1018.)
As deputy from Lyons and reporter of
the committee on labor of the Chamber
of Deputies, he haj secured the adoption
of such a proposition by that commit
tee, so that soonor or later it is bound
to come before the chamber for discus
sion. An internal ional convention forbidding
night work by women is already in force
as a result of the international confer
ence of Berne in 1906. The second Berne
conference, in 1913, agreed to forbid
night work for children under Hi and to
set a 10-hour day for women and chil
dren in industry, but the agreements had
not secured diplomatic ratification when
the war interrupted.
Godart proposes that the peace con
ference ratify these two provisions at
once, and that it further effect the per
manent institution of an organ which
will realize what the peace treaty can
not decide and will regularly develop in
ternation labor legislation. Thin should
be an international labor conference,
holding periodic sessions and composed
of delegates for the most part named
by the national workingmen's and em
ployers' associations. It would form a
sort of court of arbitration liefore which
would come contests regarding the in
ternational labor legislation. I'jiis should
of peace would fix an early date for the
first session of the international con
ference of labor and would put at least
two articles on its first agenda: "The
immediate organization in each signa
tory country of an active inspection of
labor whose reports would be compar
able; the establishment of an interna
tional bureau of labor, an official bureau
whose budget, voted by the conference,
would be distributed among the states
represented."
The treaty might, Godart adds, indi
cate the reforms which it would like
the conference to undertake, such as
prohibition of child labor under 14 years
of age, an eight-hour day in mines and
in factories, where work is continuous,
a 10-hour day for all adults, a day-and-half
off per week, various insurance pro
visions, equality of wages and condi
tions of labor for foreign and native la
bor, etc.
Neutral nations would, of course,' have
to' take part, in such a discussion. Reac
tionaries attacking the principle are us
ing that fact to disguise their genuine
opposition to the whole principle. Auguste
(iauvain, for instance, writes in the Jour
nal des Debats for Dec. 3: "Only after
the territorial and political settlement
has been definitely nhije can 'he neutrals
be admitted to confer with the belliger
ents. ... If the reformers of the
world a-spire to discuss these Muestions
. they will ftirni-'i to Gvrmany
. . . a means of upsetting onr alliances
and of escaping from the world conflict
unsea thed."
No one in France seems certain wheth
er there will be a trade union conference
at the same time a the peace conference,
or what it would do if it did meet. The
confederation generate du travail has
named no delegates. Such a conference
might insist on such agreements on labor
laws as those named. The success of la
bor's drive for international suppression
of the phosphorus matches, which ate
away so many workmen' jaws, would be
a precedent to encourage them. But the
state of feeling in France is hardly fa
vorable to so liberal a project. No ono
is vitally concerned about it. Jouhaux,
when I asked him what he thought of it,
shrugged his shoulders and said: "Those
are things we have been asking for 20
years." He had small faith in an inter
national treaty as a means of obtaining
them. Nevertheless, the fact that Godart,
a member of Cleuienccau's political bloc,
though not a '('lemenceautiste." pro
posed them, is signiticant as the first
indication in the French bourgeoise of a
readiness to meet labor's demands.

day Dangers
Public warning is given to avoid the
danger from poisonous drugs and nerve
destroying stimulants contained in so
many grip and "cough cures" at this
time. Look on the label of these prepa
rations, and you will see that they con
tain either morphine, heroin, codeine,
chloroform, or other dangerous narV ics
or poisons such as acetanilide, which
should be taken only under a doctor's
orders.
A mistake in directions might be fatal,
because! five doses of gome of these prep
arations often contain poison enough to
kill a man. Some of the labels specifically
state that the medicine should not be
given to children. You are safe when you
take Father John's Medicine for your
cold, because it is pure and wholesome,
free from any of the above-named poi
sons or any other narcotic drugs and al
cohol, and has more than sixty years'
success. Father John's Medicine soothes
and heals the mucus lining of the breath
ing passages. It gives strength to light
off the germs of grip and pneumonia, lta
gentle laxative effect drives out the im
purities and poisonsous waste matter.
He sure to get what you call for. Adv.
