PULLAR & NIVEN i Hot Water for Slck Headaches Tells why everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In it before breakfast. g grey Bed Headache of any kind, is caused by avte-intoxication-—which means self- poisoning. Liver and bowel ‘called toxins, sucked ‘into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing vio- lent, throbbing pain and distress, call- ed headache. You become nervous, de- spondent, sick, feverish and miserable, grade salt. It is made entirely from inviting ingredients. In the second place, you cannot distinguish it when aspirin or the bromides which tempor- arily relieva but do not rid the blood of these irritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a tea- spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drunk befora breakfast for a while, will not enly wash these poisons from youy system and cure you of head- ache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal. Ask yvour pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is _inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and slmost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. If you aren't feeling your best, if tongue is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath or have colds, indigestion, billlousness, constipation or seur, acid stomach, begin the phos- ‘Phated hot water curesto rid your system of toxins and poisons. Results are quick and it is claimed hat those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache or know a miserable moment.

SOLDIER| Best in World None Too Good for Our Fighting Men (By Paul Allen Mackenzie in Amaer- ican Machinist) The development of the States soldier's military equipment. which is the more than thirty years’ | study, occasioning steady ment and the evolution of wonder- ful machinery, is interesting. All of this equipment is now made of heavy | military webbing and duck woven in the shapes required instead of leath- er, and its manufacture is one of the most intricate in the textile field. The cartridge belt and other items of this equipment are made of cotton, which will stand moisture with little or no shrinkage and stretching, It is also the standard equipment of the Brit- ish army. Half a century ago sol- diers were served clumsy leather pouches, in which they carried their heavy-caliber cartridges, which were loaded singly. These pouches were not only weighty but decidedly un- comfortable to wear. The field equipment of the American infantry- man is recognized by military author- ities all over the the world as being the finest that has yet been produced by any army. Conditions of trench warfare will probably effect many changes, but as a marching equip- ment it is unsurpassed. There are 100 rounds of ammunition in the car- tridge belt, which is supported by suspenders over the shoulder and ad- justable according to the size of the wearer. The belt is also adjustable in the back for waist measurement. There are five pockets on each side, each holding two clips of five rounds of 30-caliber ammunition. Petween the pockets on the belt are evelets to which can be attached any extra item of equipment that a soldier might re- quire for the special work to which he might be detailed. The hangers for all items of equipment in the army are standard, so that they will fit the holes in the cartridge belt. The bayonet is carried on the side of the haversack. This is much bet- ter than the old way of attaching it ! to the waist belt, which spoiled the balance of the belt dragging it down on the gide and being a continual source of annoyance by hitting against the soldier's thigh on the march as well as sometimes causing injury, when advaneing under fire the infantryman had to throw him- self on the ground between rushes. The pack carrier is attached to the | haversack, and in it are ecarried the | private personal articles, his blanket, poncho and extra wearing apparel. i On the right hip attached to the belt is the canteen. High on the shoul- der iIs the haversack, containing ex- tra rations, and €0 made that it can be adjusted to the quantity of food to be carried and never presenting the slovenly appearance of a half-filled bag. Attached to it is the meat-can pouch, under which is fastened the intrenching shovel, the handle of which is strapped to the haversack by a coupling strap. The pack car- rier is laced to the bottom of the haversack, so that on a forced march it can be easily discarded to lighten the load without stopping to unpack or throwing away the whole pack as was necessary when the old-fashioned knapsack was used. Hanging from the belt in the front and to the right side is the cotton-webhing pouch which contains the hermetically United carrying result of continuous improve- 4 sealed emergency and first-aid packet. Almost, every article of the soldier's equipment—bayonet, scabbard, ecan- teen cover, shovel carrier, pick car- rier, hand-grenadde carrier, first. aid packet, bolo scabbard, pis- tol belts, cartridge belts, field medical belts and other special articles of equipment—is made of webbing, or canvas, which takes the place of the more expensive but far less durable leather which was pre- viously used. The dispatch case and officers’ Sam Brown belt are made of leather. The web equipment is much super- jor to leather also because it is not affected by long Tains or lengthy spells of torrid weather. Tt is egual- ly serviceable and efficient in any temperature and it requires no dress- ing, as is the case with leather. In the old days when soldiers were served with clumsy leather pouches they contrived leather belts with hand-sewed loops to held the car- tridges, thereby considerably facili- tating their free movements; but the objection to this extemporized am- munition belt, or bandoleer, was ‘that the loops would pull out which in- volved the loss of ammunition. Gen. Anson Mills of the United States army, whose attention became attracted by the loop-belt idea, real- | ized that if this form of extemporized ammunition belt could be woven from heavy web it would become a | decided benefit to the fighting man and would be superior to leather. However, ordinary canvas was too susceptible of shrinking and stretch- ing, according to the variations of weather and climate; therefore he | produced a helt woven from end to end in a single piece and fitted with loops to receive the cartridges, which | were kept from falling out by the | rims which fitted tightly to prevent them from slipping through. General Mills, in his autobiogra- phy, tells the story of how he toaok his first lesson in weaving from his | mother, who did the weaving for the | family in their pioneer home in In- | their pioneer home in southern In- diana, where he learned to “hand in” the threads of the warp. He retained an appreclation of the possibilities of the art, and when he hit upon the idea of a cartridge belt with woven loops he thought out what he believed to be a method of producing the loop as an integral part of the belt. He proposed the idea to several loom builders. who rejected it as im- practical, but he finally found in Pat- erson, N. J.,, a Scotchman who be- lieved that the loop could be woven, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, TR TG NOVEMEBER . 8, B e e e TO ALL WHO MISSED Our wonderful we have specials of last Saturday, which made so mmany New Britain peopla happy, GOOD NEWS!

It was necegsary, however, to have a power loom if the idea was to be made prac- tical, but fer a long time Mills could find no one who would undertake to build such a machine. He finally reached George Crompton of Worces- ter, Mass, who encouraged him in the belief that the machine could be built. Being in ill health and about to retire from business Mr. Crompton suggested Charles W. Gilbert, a build- er of carpet looms who agreed to build a loom for Mills. On its com- pletion the thing stuck and halted and finally Mills obtained a furlough, went to Worcester, and with some of Gilbert’s mechanics, through. It was a success, and from the first it wove the loop on the body of the belt as Mills had outlined it. first loom was a small machine, but it did the work as good as the more recent machines of greater capacity, whi(:q are the outgrowth of Mills' original loom. Tests with this belt have conclu- vely established its ammunition- rrying advantages, and in 1880 it W adopted as the regulation equip- ment of the United States army and in its varlous improved forms has been the service equipment ever since. As greater rapidity of fire was gained through the adoption of the magazine rifle it became necessary to increase the number of cartridges to be carried. This has been one of the factors in choosing a light-welght bullet that would need less powder behind it to obtain the requisite ener- gy. This in turn meant lighter am- munition and as a result more of it could be, carried. In the Spanish-American war the American troops used the old single- shot Springfield rifle, the cartridge for which was about one.third heavier than the present 30-caliber 1903 rim- less cartridge. As the caliber of the cartridge underwent reductions In weight through successive improve- ments in both rifle and ammunition it became practical to carry a greater amount of ammunition about the per- son of tha soldier. To meet this new development a woven belt with a double row of loops, one on top of the other, was invented, which increased the sol- dier's supply of ammunition from 40 to 50 rounds. he put the loom | The | When the magazine rifle supersed- ed the single-shot rifle, the type of woven belts used was found to be no longer serviceable, as tlon was carried in clips. The army however, attacked the new problem and began experimenting with the woven pocket forming part of the belt. This presented many difficul- ties. If the pocket were merely sewed to the belt there was the ever-present . stitching giving way, in | risk of the which event the contents would be lost. At last they succeeded in weav- ing the pocket and the belt in a single piece. The idea was presented to the British army on the outbreak of the | Boer war. That army, however, had been firmly wedded to the leather equipment, and as the web belts that were made in England were oft- en poorly woven and were not satis- factory the invention failed to obtain the recognition which it deserved, Ultimately the value of the web equipment wag recognized and a Brit- ish company was established in 1908, the firm operating closely with the patentees to one common end. The very much larger ammunition- carrying capacity of the web belt over the leather-cartridge equipment, together with the fire control of the British army, has enabled it to per- form a more vital role in beating off the enemy than is realized. This was demonstrated in the open fighting in the early days of the war, particu. larly on the retreat from Mons. The large number of cartridges carried by the British soldier, coupled with the cheap cotton supplementary bando- leer system of renewing his supply of ammunition, served to counter-bal. ance the enermous numerical super- jority of the German troops. The German leather equipment provides a total of 120 cartridges. At his belt in front are two pouches, each containing 45 rounds, while a reserve of 30 rounds is carried in his knapsack. This last feature is very weak, inasmuch as valuable time is lost in securing this reserve at a orit- ical moment. The British soldier, on the other hand, carries 150 rounds in two seta of five 15-round carriers disposed in two tiers on either side just above his belt, and a further 100 rounds is in the emergency bandoleer, which is likewise convenient to hand, being thrown across his chest. Consequently, he has more than a SR e D drive this advantage home. two-to-one advantage over his ad- versary, and he has never hesitated The German rifle has not anything like as rapid fire as either the British or Am- | erican arm, which is another disad- vantage. The American infantryman's belt has ten pockets holding two clips of five cartridges each, or 100 rounds of ammunition, and in addition, when going into action, he carries two ban- doleers containing 60 cartridges each, or a total of 220 rourds. If necessary three bandoleers can be carried. QUIT MEAT IF YOUR KIDNEYS ACT BADLY Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers— Drink Lots of Water.
