This excellent, common-sense health measure being adopted by millions. Physiclans the world over recom- ' mend the inside bath, claiming this is | i of vastly more importance than out- side cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing ill health, while the pores in the ten yards of bowels do. Men and women are urged to drink each morning, before breakfast a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means 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 cleanse and freshen the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the elim- inative organs. i Those who wake up with bad | breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or have a dull, aching head, sallow com- plexion, acid stomach; others who are subject to bilious attacks or constipa- tion, should obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store. This will cost very little but is sufficient to demonstrate the value of inside bathing.

The idea is an old trick dressed over. It con- sists of going into a Lowell barber | shop, calling for a “close shave" and continuing to a rear room, three large gray suits with civillan hats hang on the wall. A trooper would slip the ‘“cit” clothes over the olive drab, walk next door to a pack- age store, return with the whiskey secreted in his uniform and go his way. Military Dpolice searching recruits last night and early this morning were astounded at the unusual amount of liquor in the hands of sol- diers. The number of bottles was greater than at any time since the provost guard started co-operating with state authorities outside the cantonment. The great quantity of booze indicated that peddlers were operating widely, so a still hunt start- ed last night. State police officers in their rounds noted the heavy volume of soldier trade in the barber shop. They fur- ther were surprised to see a number of freshly-barbered rookies parading In ostensibly for hair cut or shave. Closer inspection gained, when one of the officers luckily prepared ahead of time with a copious growth of beard, went into the establishment apparently to test the skill of the ra- zor wielders. ‘While in the chair or waiting, it is not clear which, the detective was interested to see a squad of rookies edge in the door slide over to a white- coated tonsorial artist and ask in a low voice for a ‘‘close shave.” The detective began detecting immediate- ly when three of the selectives pushed through to a back room, remained for where gray suits and caps. Each went out and returned with bulges sticking out from various parts of his body. The officers soon acquired more in- formation. They found the barber was renting the suits for 50 cents to all comers. The renter would de- posit $1.50. On returning the suit there was forthcoming $1. There was a steady stream of gray-suited men fillng out of the shop into the pack- age store and back to the barbering parlors all the evening, so witnesses allege. A great number of the soldiers con- sumed their whiskey before reaching camp, thereby making sure their al- coholic supply would not be confis- cated. Others attempted to get by the vigilant soldier cops but few were successful, judging from the pile of miscellaneous bottles scooped up. GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.

Speculation in food and clothing and heating material is gen- erally held responsible for the very high prices, in many respects fifty per cent. higher than in France. ‘Woolen goods that last summer were sold at $2.50 to $4.00 a vard are now being reinvoiced and sold in the same ! stores at $5 to $10 a yard. Women's | clothes have been doubled or trebled | in price, according to the whim ot the storekeeper. “If you don't buy NoOw, you either won't get the chance at all later in the winter or else you 'will have to pay more money,” purchasers are in- formed. Second hand furniture of the most ordinary qualfty, particularly beds, mattresses, carpets, chairs and tabl sells for the price of new furniture. Single woolen mattresses that last spring sold for $10 each this winter sell for $20. The price of a cotton bed sheet is $3. The cost of housekeeping. has doubled since last winter. Eggs that formerly sold at 3 cents each, now | sell for seven to nine cents. Fresh vegetables are sold almost at meat | prices. Butter is 75 cents a pound. Sugar remains at 34 cents a pound, while coffee has gone to 80 cents n pound. Ham and bacon have disap- peared entirely from the market as being too dear for anybody to buv. Oatmeal sells at 30 cents a pound. Despite the fact that all of Italy is being denuded of forest timber to turn into firewood, and that wood has been one of the principal freight products on the railways all the past summer, coal sells at $70 a ton. Wood sells at 10 cents a pound. Electric light globes worth 15 cents sell at 70 cents. Hotel prices have reached $5 to $8 a day in the better hotels of the larger cities, prices that would have seemed fabulous in Italy before the war. “It's war time,” is the inevitable and final answer to all objections re- garding high prices. ISLANDS ISOLATED. Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, Nov. 1.—The war has completely isolated the Falkland Islands from the rest of the world as far as commercial inter- course is concerned, in spite of the fact that the islands are the naval base of the British fleet for the South Atlantic and South Pacific. Since March 10 of this year not a single ship has stopped at the Falk- lands on its journey to Engiand and correspondence for Buenos Aires and Montevideo has been sent by way of Punta Arenas, while passengers for to go around to Valpariso on the Pa- cific liners and then cross the Andes by train to get to their destination. The British Government has bought | up all the wool of the Falklands, giv- ing the owners 55 per cent. above pre- | war prices. Some of this wool soid as high as two shillings, sixpence a | pound. Flour has risen to fifty shill-! ings a sack and bread is selling at a | shilling a loaf, weighing less than four pounds. Sugar is selling at eight pence a pound. The Islands have become so over- run with rats that the government has offered an English penny a head for all those killed.
