Boston Store ~ The Great Rargain Giving Event of 1918 OUR ANNUAL SALE Is Now in Full "~ Swing. Give This Opportunity Full Consideration PULLAR & NIVEN TUBERGULOSIS AT WORK IN AMERICA Affects Between One and Three | | to fall late last night and this morn- Per Gent. of Army Eligibles New York, Feb. 8.—From one to three per cent. of the men being ex- amined in the different training camps of our new army and by the exemp- tion boards are being dismissed or re- jected on account of tuberculosis, ac- cording to estimates of the National Association for the Study and Pre- vention of Tuberculosis. At the low- est percentage this would mean 100,- 000 tuberculosis men in the first 10,~ 000,000 classified for service. To se- cure a wider support by prominent physicians and public-spirited laymen for its new work in helping to check the spread of this and other dise in the United States army and and the consequent increased tion of the civil population, particular- ly children, by cases sent back to civil life, the National association will be- gin today a thirty-day campaign for , 5,000 new members. President Wilson has officially rec- ognized the important part played by the assoclation at the present time. In a recent letter to its exccutive sec- retary, he said: ““The development of the anti-tuber- culosis movement under the leader- ship of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu- losis has been a source of to me. At this time, when we are all called upon to do our utmost to make the fighting forces of the United States the most efficient that human agency can produce, I cannot too strangly urge upon you and your associates, as well as upon all the people of the United States, the increasing nec for pressing still further the progr which has been made in the preven- tion of tuberculosis and other dis- eases."” The present membership of the as- sociation is 2,500. It includes some of the best known men in the country. Its president is Dr. Charles L. Minor, a ploneer in the movement and one of the most widely known tuberculosis experts in tho world. Burgeons General Gorgas and Blue are directors, and Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Sir William Osler are honorary vice-presidents. Among tho active members are such well-known philanthropists as John D. Rockefel- ler, Jacob Schiff, Andrew Carnegie and John Wanamalker. The appeal for membership is not to the general public. The association sceks as members leading doctors and Jaymen in each community wha have shown an active interest in the cause and have some reputation for public service. The National association was formed in 1904 with the late Dr. Edward Liv- ingston Trudeau as its first president. It now has affillated with it 3,000 state and Jocal agencies, including clinics, sanatoria and some 1,500 associations. Tts ideal from the start has been to serve both the individual who has the disense and needs attention, and also the individuals and organizations who | ere interested movement. in the preventive A.

They tell of their Christmas dinners and also of the receipt of the tobacco which was sent by the war bureau. Both boys are in the best of health and report that the other New Britain boys with whom they are stationed are also feeling well. The letters, in part, follow: Somewhere in France, December 23, 1917. Dear Dad and Sisters: Reccived your letter of November 25, yesterday and was glad to get it. In your letter you mentioned the fact that the same date you wrote Pad been the coldest one of the sea- son. We have not as yet struck any real cold days, as you can readily tell, because every morning we wash up in a little brook that runs outside of our billet. This morning, however, we had to break the ice which had formed around the side of the brook, before we washed up. Have not re- ceived any of your packages as vet. There are 10 men in our billet and they are all anxiously awalting the arrival of their packages. We, that is, the soldiers stationed here, have collected about 2,000 francs, and with the same we are going to put a stmas tree up in the Y M. C. A. acks and are going to give the of a ve been ward and children in this village a real Christ- | mas, as there are many whose fa- thers are now in the trenches. The magazines have not come yet, but as there is a big mail due tomorrow, 1 hope I will get them and the pack- ages so as to have them by Christ- reading in a Bridgeport «zgs would probably reach as high as $1 a dozen this winter. Next door to us there is a family who have chickens and it costs us 10 cents apiece for an eg: Decemb 191 Held off sending this letter with the hope of receiving your packages, but they haven't come as yet, al- though there is a big stack of mail in —, about an hour's ride from here. It seems hard to realize that this is Christmas, although the band has been playing carols all morning. This afternoon we are going to the Y. M. C. A, to see the Christmas tree entertalnment for the kids of th village, and tonight an entertainment for the company. The snow started ing it is rather misty. We have had small storms for the past three weeks. Outside of the above mentioned fetes for the day, we have nothing to do, except to eat our turkey and cran- berries this noon. Just had word that the trucks have gone after mail, so may get your packages today I have a few more letters to write, I will endeavor to close, meaning that there is so much to write about and yet you can't. P. §—T just received the magazines and also your large package. Fe- lieve me, I almost went wild. It didn’'t take me two minutes to unpaci and when I saw the cigars, Oh Boy, vou can’t appreciate how good T felt. Am anxiously awaiting the other one, and hope to get it tomorrow. They sure are coming at the proper time and you can't realize what it means to Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning before breakfast. Why is man time, feeling worried; some and unstruni; capacitated illness. It we all would pract inside- pathing, what a gratifying change would toke place. Instead of thou- sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy we owds of happy, heal- thy, d people everywhere.

For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine- like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary the ashes from the furnace each before the fire will burn bright hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the pre accumulation of indigestible and body toxins. Men and whether sick or well, drink each morning, before breakfast, glass of real hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, Kkidne; and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep- less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anvone, itg cleansing, sweetening and and woman, half the nervous, despondent, days headachy, dull some days really in- by waste as it is to clean day, women, freshening effect upon the system. complexions | and | ious day’s | vaste | are advised to | $6.50 Coat Sweat- $5.35 $3.50 Hats 2.75 $2.00 Shirts . $1.35, 3 for $3.75 $1..)0 Shirts, 95¢, 3 for $2.75 $2.50 Shirts, $1.75, 3 for $5.00 82-88 ASYLUM ST get them at this time especially, just like a whiff from home.
