CONCERNING CH RISTM AS
PACKAGES FOR SOLDIERS.
The Independent takes pleasure in
plinting the following for the guid
ance of the public:
Relatives and friends, who are plan
ning to make Christmas for the sol
diers in the war zones as “merry” as
conditions will permit, should bear in
mind that each soldier is entitled to
but one of these packages. The War
Department will not accept more
than one parcel for each man. It is
expected that approximately 2,000,
000 of these «padu»£es will be sent
abroad and the amount of shipping
Bpaca provided for their transporta
tion will not permit of any deviation
from the “one parcel a man rule.”
The men themselves will decide who
is to send these parcels. They are
now receiving Christmas-parcel labels
with instructions to mail these labels
to the person in this country from
whom they wish to receive the holiday
box. To avoid any chance of duplica
tion, each soldier gets but one of
these labels. Packages that do not
bear these labels will not be accepted.
In the event of this label being lost it
cannot be replaced. No Christmas
parcels will be accepted for shipment
ail.r November 20. The cardboard
boxes, or cartons, to be provided for
these parcels are three inches by four
inches in size. When packed, v/iap
p.d and ready for mailing these boxes
must r:-.t weigh more than three
pounds.
The American Red Cross has agreed
to provide these cardboard boxes and
to suix rvise their distribution to rel
attivcs of the soldiers who present
tiie proper Christmas-parcel. label
credential. The distribution of the
caitons will be made by the Red Cross
blanches throughout the country. It
will be incumbent upon the person
receiving one of these boxes to re
turn it when filled, but unwrapped,
to the collection point designated by
the Red Cross. Here it will be in
spected by Red Cross inspectors au
thorised to exclude any articles
barred by the postal authorities, af
ter which the box will be shipped.
Ti. ■ following is an outline of the
procedure to be followcd by persons
planning to send one of these parcels
abroad:
On receiving one of these Christ
masrpascel labels it should be pre
sented at the nearest chapter, branch
or auxiliary headquarters of the Red
Cross, where the holder will receive a
carton. These labels are not expected

- - ' Drummond's Liniment
Drummond’s Brand Liniment for deep colds, Influenza, Pneumonia
Rheumatism and Tuberculosis: »
The following is taken from a letter recently received from Mrs.
Elizabeth Shaver, Las Cruces, N. M.:
“I am still improving; took two-mile walk yesterday and felt no
ill effects from it except some slightly stiff joints. I am enclosing
check and when you feel like it I would like to have you send me
'
some more Liniment. My throat does not bother me any, except whsn
I take cold and I always resort to the Liniment, which hasn’t failed
to benefit me. Please give my regards to all the family.
Danville, 111., Oct. 16, 1018.
Air. A. B. Drummond,
Deal- Sir: You remember the young man that bought a botlie
ot your medicine about three weeks ago and said he was going
hunting? Well, I am the fellow and instead of going hunting, 1
came home and took down with influenza, and I want to thank you
for your bottle of Liniment, for I really think I would have iied,
had I not had it. It gave me relief at once. Of course I called a
doctor, but I always will think your medicine is what cured me. I
am up now, but can’t go out.
I am sending you $1, for which send me another bottle. I want
you to tell me how to use it for stomach trouble. You told me it
cured me of that trouble. Thatt is why I want it now. Aly bow
els always was in bad shape. I have taken the Liniment every morn
ing and it helps me, but I think sometimes I take too much or not
enough for a dose. Please send it to me at once. After I get to
work 1 will send for some more. Send to
All. George W. Daugherty,

Soft chocolates are easily crushed am

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.
_
Those of us who are accus'tomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as a daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast,
a glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in
it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous day’s indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alinientary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but a little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will co3t very little at the
drug store, hut is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness, constipation, stomach trouble or
rheumatism a real enthusiast on the
suh.iec of internal sanitation. Try
it and you are assured that you will
look better and feel better in every
way shortly.
