Men who receive tnese appointments receive a higher rate of pay and chances for rapid promotion for men worthy of such are good. The War Department is maintaining two schools .fa? the instruction of,, enlisted specialisits, one at' Fort Monroe,. Va., and the other at Fort Winfield Scott, California.

It is especially essential that a working knowledge of logarithms be had by applicants. The officers' course at Fort Monroe is htree months in length and a new course is being started each month thereby insuring applicants of early j opportunity to take the course. Applicants must be citizens of the United States and must not have been born in any country with which j the United States or its Allies are at war.

These wiH be given op geants, first and second class, engineers, and master electricians. Men who have had experience in administration of offices, clerical experience j to include stenographic work and filing are given the training for Ser-i geant Major, which has the two grades, junior and senior. r* ' Men who have had training inj ' mechanical drawing, drafting, surveying, photographic work, may take the course for master gunner.

The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the aight.

NEW YORK AVIATOR OUTWITS HUN FLIERS With the American Army Northwest of Verdun, Oct. 4.?With his airplane riddled by machine gun bullets and hemmed in by German machines Aviator Ted Haight of New York city, yesterday pretended to be < out of commission and landed within the German lines. After hurriedly repairing his damaged machine he ascended and got back ot his own lines, successfully dodging the astonished Germans on the ground and in the air. Haight was in a group of airplanes protecting American observers beyond the American lines. He was attacked by the Germans and 13 machine gun bullets penetrated various parts of his airplane, three of them striking the propeller. The Germans circled around him to prevent him from reaching his own lines. Haight descended quickly and landed in a' field behind the German lines. The , airmen apparently took it for granted thdt Haight was out of commis- ' sion ami left his capture to the men on the ground. One bullet had severed a battery wire in Hai&hfs machine. This was*! -: quickly repaired and before the German foot soldiers could revch Haight. he had ascended and was making for the American lines. The German airplanes pursued him but were not auick enough to c&tch the fleeing American. T?IT--1 1 * -| Start Tortiottow I afid Keep It Up Every Morning ?

Folks 6ho are jiecnstomed to fe^l dull and heavy wheii they arise, splitting teadache, stuffy from a cold, foul todfeue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In it to wash from the Btomach, 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 I food Into the stomach. The action of j hot water and limestone phosphate on j an empty stomach is wonderfully in- I vigorating. It cleaus out all the sour j fermentations, gases, waste ana acidity and gives oue a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate 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 mm bothered with constipation, bilious pells, stomach trouble: oilers who have sallow skins, blood disorders and AU sickly complexions are urged to got a p quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make 1 anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of inslde-bathlng before breakfast era nor the FEW FOLKS HAVE S GRAY Hi NOW z .
