I An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, common-sense |
health measure being
adopted by millions.
—
Physicians the world over recom
mend the Inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
.ores do not absorb impurities into
blood, causing ill health, while the
in the ten yards of bowels do.
d women are urged to drink
morning, before breakfast a
of hot water with a teaspoonful
limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless moans of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous day’s indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri
fying the entire alimentary canal be
fore putting more food into the stom
ach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanso
and freshen the skin, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the elim
inative organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taBte or have a
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store.
This will cost very little but Is sum
dent to demonstrate the value of in
side bathing. Those who continue it
feacb morning are assured of pro
nounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.
CITIZENS MUST FULLY
REALIZE SITUATION.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 27.—Chas. L.
Thompson, state chairman of Non
War Construction Board, is calling
attention to the requirements for the
securing of a permit for all new con
struction of whatever character. He
says:
“While it is not the policy of the
government to interfere unneces
sarily with any legitimate business
industry, or project, it must be re
membered that there s an imperative
and constantly increasing demand for
labor, material and capital for the
production and distribution of direct
and indirect war needs, .o satisfy
which non-war construction must be
deferred. A full realization of these
facts by all loyal and patriotic citi
zens is all that is needful to postpone
such building operations as will in
terfere with the war program.”

INFORMATION FOR U. S.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 30.—The U. S.
Public Service Reserve has written
to the chairmen of County Councils
of Defense throughout the state a
request to advise how many common
laborers they can furnish to assist
in necessary war work. Thanspor
tation will be furnished them to LitJ
tie Rock, and they will be paid 30
cents an hour, and time and a half
for over-time. ,
“We want to suggest that you use
care and do not interfere with es
sential work such as farming and
other lines that are unquestionably
essential,” says H. W. Anderson, Se
nior examiner; “We will leave this
to you to use your own judgment, and
you can decide whom to call, as the
classification! of essential and non
essential'work have not been worked
out by our Community Board.”
GOVERNOR EXTENDS LIMIT.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 30.—The date to
which Amnesty has been extended
the delinquents and deserters, so
classified under the Selective Service
Regulations, has been extended by
Governor Brough from today until
October 10. That is announced as
the final date upon all registrants of
the first draft who have not yet an
swered the call of their Local
Boards may appear for examination
and induction.
The records of the adjutant gen
ehal’s office show that there is a to
tal of 4721 in Arkansas in that class,
including registrants who failed to
file their questionnaires, to appear
for physical examination, or other
wise to comply with the Selective
Service Law.

GONE OVER THE TOP.
Arkansas is going “over the top”

WITHOUT BLOODSHED.
During the American operations
against Metz a German regiment
underwent an almost unique experi
ence. It was flanked right and left
simultaneously, and though it might
have continued to fight it did just as
practical a thing in surrendering.
The Americans could have massacred
it or starved it without losing a
man.
Its colonel called the roll and every
man answered. He then suggested
to his captors that as his command
was so distressingly complete it
might as well preserve its organiza
tion, and with its officers and non
corns, it marched, disarmed and un
der escort, to the detention can p.
The only thing lacking was a brass
band.
The coup was accomplished by
Yankee quickness. The quickness
was made possible by .flawless trans
portation facilities and equipment.
These things make for bloodless vic
tory. And they cost money.
The amount called for in the new
loan appeal is stupendous. It is not
a case of “Have you bought a bond?”
but “How many have you bought?”
But money means superior equip
ment and bloodless triumps. Fight
ing with safetly—so far as it is pos
sible—improves with organization.
Death and casualty rates have
shrunk consderably at the front. We
have seen IP per cent go to 3 per cent.
Money uys gas-masks, life-saving
appl| mces and hospital equipment.
It’s our money or the lives of our
boys. Don’t weaken, men and wo
men of Newport.
A. J. Meyer, who conducts a gen
eral merchandise business at Ama
gon, has moved his family to New
port, arriving today. Mr. Meyer
tells the Independent that it will soon
be practically impossible for people |
living in the Amagon community to
reach Newport by reason of the
fact that the Martin bridge over j
Cache river is fast becoming im
