armored one and that the bullets
were doing no harm.
The people were not excited. They
were only curious. Those who have
watched a crowd at an ordinary avi-
alton meet can picture the Paris
throngs mentally and perfectly, as
they watch a bOmb-throwing aviator
from the enemy's lines sail over their
heads.
After circling the great steel tow
er, receiving a baptism of fire from
the top of it, the "taube" returned,
passing over the Bourse. A number
of people collected under the terrace
roof more as a matter of precaution.
. One man expressed the sentiments of
all the others:
German bombs don't always ex-
plode," he. said, "but I'll bet one
would hurt a mans head if it fell
on it."
Everybody laughed. The German
aerOplane over their city didn't worry
them a bit. They were not in the
least panic stricken. They took it as
a new sort of an exhibition, providing
a new thrill. They watched the Ger
man pilot disappear, in a hail of bull
let's, quite as if accustomed to such
things all their lives.
Paris is still smiling. She is al
most deserted, but she is gay.

TopAY's HEALTHOGRAM

Measles and whoOping cough kill
more babies than scarlet fever or
diphtheria, as much of the pneu-
mOnia rate is due to colds and other
infections of the lungs during meas
les and whOoping cough.
Babies should be kept away from
people who have colds; they should
be kept away from crowds, and kept
out of street cars. To guard them
against pneumonia and other con-
tagioUs> diseases children under two
years of age should be kept very
much to themselves.

This ruling does not affect any widow who has heretofore been allowed a pension. '"

 "The delay in the German attack at this point" the correspondent contin- ues, ''is attributed to the severe loss es inflicted by the Belgians. There is doubt also that Austria's reluctance to send her promised quota of troops in consequence of Italy's attitude and an incipent anti-war movement in Germany have delayed the German troops in advancing"

GERMAN ADVANCE FORCES BELGIANS TO MOVE CAPITOL Seat of Government is Transferred From Brussels to Antwerp. Big Battle Now Occurring. Ger

London, Aug Is, 4:2G a. m.-A dispatch to the Central News from 3rdSsels says that a daring newspaper man has returned to that city, after Ia daring trip along the frontier be- tween the armies during which he spent several days within the German lines. He says:
 "The Germans are bringing up al most unbelievable numbers of men and quantities of artillery, horses and supplies along the entire lines from LuXemburg to the northern limits of Belgian territory.
 '1 do not believe the published sto- ries of atrocities by Germans, as all Germans I met seemed not to be the sort of men likely to be guilty of such deeds,
 Most of the German officers are well satisfied with the progress of the fighting illus far. One officer said l.:
 We took Liege in a week. when we thought IL would take three months. We now are within few thousand yards of Belgim's capitol. We will take to Strassburg many guns with the greatest ease from the vaunted artillery of France"
 "We can afford to lose a million men as the price of victory, but the allies cannot afford to lose thousands"
 The newspaper man continued;
 "The German government has no quarrel with the United States and is doing all in its power to impress the officials with the necessity of extend ing courtesy and facilities to those Americans who are endeavoring to get out of the country"

Thick, Soft, Fluffy, and no Dand
ruff---Use Partisan Sage.

I'LL ooC al ioAdl odSOs
If your hair is losing its natural
color, coming out and splitting, or
lacks that enviable softness, gloss and
beauty, do not despair---pretty hair
is largely matter of care. If it is
too thin make it grow. If it is harsh
and brittle soften it up---lubricate it.
If you have dandruff it is because the
scalp is too dry and flakes off. Fresh
en- up the scalp with Partisan Sage
all dandruff disappears, falling hair
and itching head cease, your hair is
doubly beautiful.
Partisan Sage, sold by Conrad Staf-
rim and at all drug counters, is just
what you need---a large bottle costs
but so cents. 1t surely makes the
hair lustrOus and seem twice as
abundant. You cannot be disappoint-
ed in Partisan Sage.
