Hot Weather Hygiene

First of all, be clean. Keep clean,
inside and out. A daily bath is just as
essential as the daily breakfast, if not
more so. An all-over bath in the
morning and a sponge bath at night
are none too much. The morning bath
will put you in good condition for the
days work, and cool sponge bath at
night will enable you to sleep better.
Drink plenty of water, but don't
drink ice water to excess. Most soda
fountain beverages are palatable and
harmless, but being sweetened they
tend to produce thirst. Just plain,
clean, cold water is the best Of all sum-
mer drinks.
Excuses of all kinds should be
avoided. If you have any regard for
your physical welfare, shun over-in-
diligence in alcoholic drinks.
AS to what to eat and how much to
eat in summer-too much is worse
than none at all. Remember that a
meat diet is heating. Most people eat
too much meat anyway. Cut it out
and cut down expenses. Eat ripe

FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE
Are Told How to Regain
Strength and Vigor.

AS one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re.
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectively than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil Is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very elements
needed to rebuild wasting tissues and
replace weakness with strength. Vinol
also fortifes the system against colds
and thus prevents pneumonia.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ca,
says: IF people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, am sure you
would be unable to supply the de-
mand. I never took anything before
that did me so much good as Vinol
It Is the finest tonic and strength
creator ever used in my life"
If Vinol fails to build up the feeble
old people. and create strength we
will return your money.

Improvement OF Sandy Soils
By KARL LANGENBECK.

1t is important in sandy soils to
plant clover or legumes in short ro-
tations frequently and pillow the green
vegetable matter under. These soils
are not only lacking in nitrogen, as a
rule, but particularly in vegetable
mold. This is very essential for them,
as it enables this type of soil to hold
water. In themselves, they dry too
rapidly even in average seasons, for
good crop yields. Lime is almost in
variably necessary, both for the green
cover crop and for it's after effect on
succeeding growths. But, it is essen
tial not to use more lime than the
analysis of the soil calls for. Lime
producers will have this analysis
made for the farmer at nominal
cost

London, Aug. 7.-Persistent reports of an import

News from the German side was extremely
meager owing to the interruption of direct telegraphic
communication Denials came from Berlin by way OF
other countries of the repulse of the German forces

sources declared their attack to have been badly
checked with heavy losses
Movements Of the great aggregation Of troops

Russian and French armies kept from public
knowledge. Military authorities here however, are
of the opinion that preparations must be almost COM
pete for forward movement which will give some in
dication Of the plan Of campaign to be followed out.
The French army authorities have also raised
heavy screen to hide the developments in their war
moves. They entirely satisfied with the manner
with which the of the nation responded to the call
to arms and they declare every preliminary move to

in state of defense only brief dispatches tricke

quarter is the report that the British squadron had
hemmed in the German vessels at Using Tau, which is
strongly fortified and has numerous garrison Of Ger

Mr.. Churchill added that arrange
ments had been made such. as would
/, reduce the possibility Of accidents
caused by mines to minimum.
Referring to the disconcerting war
r,imors spread by the newspapers. Mr..
Churchill said they were probably due
to strict censorship prevailing. and this
caused the papers to I'LL their columns
with reports from irresponsible and
nervous persons on the coast.
Mr.. Churchill announced that the
British government had decided to es-
tablish press bureau presided over

be issued a steady supply Of trust

miralty and war Office without. how

this way. he said. the country would
be kept truthfully informed Of the
state OF affairs.
The first lord then paid a tribute to
the press for its restraint during the
precautionary period when the govern.
ment was without any legal means Of
S controlling it. This has enabled the
