C. A. is the biggest ex preas company the world has ever seen, and tbe parceW It is handling are the loves and devotions of buman beings.
World's Beat Loved Trademark.
This war haa made us think hard and fast. Your t»oy or your neigh¬ bor's boy or sume boy you know and lova has been called to do hla ahara in the big job of jpoUcing the world (or democracy and buman liberty. It it any comfurt to you to know that wher¬ ever Uis duty may call liiu your boy will uava a friend that will ttnro him in body, mind and soul? Are you gUid to know that this friend will place books aud magazines at his disposal, organize (riassen to teach him what¬ ever he wants to learn, give him a pocket testament and invite him do Join religious meetings of tbe faith that hu was brought up In? Did you realize that the aaaociatlbn provides athletic equipment for his favorite gameis, teaches him games if he knowti none and holds concerts, lectures, movies, Ulble classes, dramatic enter tainmenu and every kind of whole¬ some amusement to keep him Interest¬ ed? Aro you glad to know that thia friend will go with hlra overeeas, help to shield him from a score of difficult and dangerous tomptations and follow him right up to the front Une trench and beyond it? Tae last cantact the soldier has witb this lifu he loves so well is a cup of tea given him by the Y. M. C. A. free just before he goes "over the top" to a hand to hand strug¬ gle with the enemy. And aa he cornea tottering back from No Man's Laiad. wounded, but strong enough and plucky tnough to keep on his feet, eveu before his wounds are dreesed tha Y M C. A. is waiting for nlm with tea and sweet chocolate, the great com- forta of the man In the trenches Do you wonder that the Red Triangle is called "the best loved trademark la tha world?" Oaa aoldler In Kraaea baa oalled It "the last avldence tbat any¬ hody oarea."
If every thinking cltiiea ooald eae with his or her own eyas something of tbe actual work being dona for our men by the aaaoclatloa there would be ^ queatlon of the T. II. C.

There are Y M C. A. dugouts right behind tho front line trenches, where the soldiers can get hot drinks, crack¬ ers and other comforta at all hours
Over 2,000 men who bad been reject¬ ed on account of pbyeical disability have been able to get into the British army by reason of the physical work of the British Y M. C A.
A fl«et ot motor cars leaves tha big T M, C A, headquartera in London at midnight every nlgbt to pick up aol¬ dlers who ara wandering about the streetfl without any wtaoleaome lodging In which to spend the night. These cers are operated hy Gngllahwomea of position and reflnement, who report that they never meet any diacourteay at the handa of the soldiers Tha im¬ portance of this service can be esti¬ mated by the tact that at least 60,000 soldiers are on leave In London every week Over half of these sleep In Y M, C, A beds every night.
Entertainment on Vaat Scale. Thf> Y M, C. A, has erected a big auditorium, seating 3,000. In each of the big draft campa, and huge Chautau¬ qua tent.s, seating 2,500 in the other encampments The association !« run¬ ning a 22 week entertainment circuit among the camps and Is paying 16 companies of entertainers, who are '-. traveling to 30 camps performing be¬ fore the men, ¦ In each of the draft camps tho Y. M, r. A. ha.i ten .secretaries engaged I in educational work. The association ' la seeing to It that every man who ; cannot speak RnglAh Is i.aught to do ; so. In many of tne oamps the asso- I riation has a singing director, who is '. teaching the mon to aIng the popular I and martial airs that do so much to i keep up their spirits.
Of 64 Y, M. C. A. men at Camp I Dix only three are being paid full sal- ' arle.^. In all the camps the majority of the Y. M. C. A. men have left lucra- I tive positions to do this work simply j becausft its appeal is Irresistible to any red blooded man.

If everybody who has received letters from soldiers and sail¬ ors were to contribute $10 the task would be easy Are your boy's health and happiness and clean .soul worth 110 to you?

To look one'a best and feel one's best la to enjoy an itmlda bath each mom- ing to fluah from the syetem the pre¬ vious day's wiMte, sour fennentatlona and poisonous toxius before it le ab- .sorbed '.nto the blood, .lust as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a cer¬ tain ainount of incombURtible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the ali¬ mentary organs a certain amount ot Indigentible material, whIfJi If not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the hlood through the very ducts- which are In¬ tended to suck In only nourishment to sustain the body:
If you want to see the glow of healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful df limestone phosphate In it, which is a harmless means of wash¬ ings the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract, t)efore putting more food into the stom- ;ich
Men and women with sallow skins, Uvcr spots, pimples or pallid com¬ plexion, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, had taste, nasly breath, others who are bothered with. ' headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach i or constipation should begin this phos- ! phated hot water drinking and are : assured of very pronounced results In , one or two weeks. 1 A quarter pound of limestone phos- ' phate coets very little at the drug { store but Is sufficient to demonstrate I that Just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the ' skin on the outside, so hot water and ; llmestono phosphate act on the inside I organs, r We must always consider that I internal eanltatlon is vastly more Im- 1 ;iortant than outside cleanliness, be- j ca.ise the skin pores do not absorb ! mpuritles Into the blood, while the lou'ol pores do.
The use of .Ssjre and flnlphnr for re- ntorinff faded, i^nj hair to Hs natural color dates back to (rrandmother's time. Khe nsed It to kp«'p her hair beautifully dark, glossy snd attractive. Whenerer her hair took on that dull, laded or streaked appearance, this simple mlxiare wan applied with wonderfal elTec*,
Bnt brewing at home In mussy and out-of-date. Nowsdays. by asking mt any drug store for a ."iO cent bottle of •Wyeth's Sage and Snlphur Ckminound," jon will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in- Kredients. which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
.\ well-known downtown dniggint says it darkens the hair ao naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been .Tpplied. Vou simply dampen a sponms or soft brush with it and draw this throii;;h your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morninjr the gray hair dis¬ appears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and K'ossy.
Wyeth's Sa-rc and Sulphur Compound ia a ileligldfnl toilet requisite for tkose who desire a more yoi/tliful sppearanoe. It is not intended for the cure, mitiRntion t>r iirevention ol disease.
