NEWPUPIISCAN HELP COUNTRY Good Suggestions Made by Westmoreland People Re garding Gardening To suggest of how schools and other institutions can assist in pro viding the labor so urgently needed in order to increase the farm-food supply, the committee of public safe ty has made public the regulations adopted by its local committee In Westmoreland county. At the in stance of the latter the school, au thorities of Monessen have consent ed to.allow high school students to work on farms without losing their school standing. ln order to systematize such em ployment and to protect the inter ests of both parties to the arrange ment, farmers applying for volunteer workers are required to sign an agreement containing the following conditions. 1. That transportation to and from the location of the employment shall be paid: and suitable board and lodging provided. 2. Boys from 14 to It! years of age to lie paid 75 cents per day; boys over 1, $1 per day. Where boys travel to and from their work daily, they are to receive an extra allow ance of 60 cents per day. 3. On Sundays, when boys remain on the farm, they are to do necessary ■ hores only, for which they are not emitted to compensation, but full compensation is to be paid for rainy week days if the boys remain on the farm. 4. Two Sundays and three week days per month are to be "allowed off" if the volunteer worker so de sires. "These boys," says the committee, "are volunteering at less wages than most of them could earn in the stores and mills. They are undertak ing this service as a patriotic duty. Xot many of them have had much farm experience, but we believe they will respond to intelligent teaching. The present high prices of commodi ties is bound to continue even if peace should be declared in the near future, so that the extra work done on the farm by the boys should prove profitable." On his part the student is required to sign the following pledge, which bears the consent of parent or guar dian: Farnl Volunteer—Student's Pledge —"ln response to President Wilson's appeal for large farm crops, I here by volunteer for farm work and agree to accept a position wherever 1 may be placed by the committee of public safety. If 1 am allowed to stop school and hereafter receive my rating as though I had successfully completed the studies of this term, I promise my teacher and the school directors faithfully to perform, without complaint, the work assigned to me. and will loyally endeavor thus to assist my country in its hour of need."

DRINK A GLASS OF REAL HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST. Says we will both look and feel clean, tweet and freah and avoid Illness. Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity. The lat est application of Us untiring re search Is t\je recommendation Mhat it is as necessary to attend to in ternal sanitation of the drainage sys tem of the human body as it Is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to fell dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath,. ucM stomach, can, instead, feel as f'esh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the in ternal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaapoonful of lime stone phosphate In it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. The action of hot water and lime stone phosphate on an empty stom ach is wonderfully invigorating, it cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for break fast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water 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 bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quar ter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. Thlq will cost v' prehension as to what the morrow e will bring forth.

Another advantage that the morp Intelligent are taking into considera tion, is thut by the time the conscript men report for training, the men who go with the National Guard organiza tions will have learned the rudlmnets of a military training and should a large list of officers and non-commis sioned officers be taken from National Guard organizations to train and drill this 'new army they will then bo ln line for promotion In their own or ganization.
