France IS BUSY
RAISING TROOPS
Tramp of Marching Men
Continuous-Still Many
Who Can Aid Country.
lBy Harry Hansen.l

Especial Marconigraph to the Chica-
go Daily News.)
Lille, France, Oct. 5.-Northern
France resounds with the tramp of
marching men. Looking out of my
hotel window here at any time in the
ians under the escort Of uniformed
soldiers. These men are recruits. Some
are carrying small bundles, some tow
els and some are empty-handed, hat
less and collar-less. Frequently they
march by carrying guns and some
times one man has two guns.
France thus far has called to the
colors all men between the ages Of gu
and 4s, but the report that its re-
France still has thousands Of men to
draw from and can organize several
new armies
Excused for Physical Defects.
Upon beholding the thousands
crowding the Place de La Care in
Lille l made inquiries as to why there
were so many men outside the ar
mics. 1 was told that they had es-
capped service through some physical
defect: 1t is extremely unlikely. how
ever. I was told. that they would be
allowed to remain longer at large bur-
dening the neighborhood unless their
injuries were serious.
New examinations, beginning Oct.
Z. are likely to send the greater part
Of these men into the army. So far
the strict standards of service here
tofore observed, yet undoubtedly
many Of these men are fit for service.
Lille has not yet reached the point
where women run the street cars, for
landaus are available as formerly,
while the train service is handled en-
tirely by men.
Show Love for England.
Nothing in France is more remark
able than its demonstrative love for
the English. This country, where
Napoleon more than a hundred years
ago fostered bitter hatred against
England, now is overfowing with al
miration for the nation across the
channel. Every one mistakes Ameri-
cans for English.
Lille awaited the arrival Of the
English troops with feverish anxiety.
Julian Hache, a French boy aged L.,
with whom I made friends. told the
story Of the arrival of a solitary Eng
lish officer.
British Officer Acclaimed.
I'VE wanted SO much to see the
English after the Germans left" he
said, but they did not come. Finally
an English officer in an open cab
passed down the street. We all ran
to the cab cheering and shouting 'vive
L'Angleterre!'
''He was most courteous. He know
only two words. Bon Jour ('good
morningD and kept repeating these
to the crowd while bowling right and
left. We were SO happy to see him
that all left the stores and their
work"
This feeling is evident everywhere.
In one instance I saw large Eng.
lish motor transport whirling through
the streets. On its back an enthusi-
astive Frenchman had chalked "Vive
L LAngleterre!"
English motors fly both the union
jack and the tricolor of France.

EAT LESS MEAT
If BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to
Flush Kidneys if Bladder
Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other. says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked; !;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges. severe headaches.
acid stomach. constipation. torpid
liver, sleeplessness. bladder and urin-
ary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia. and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity: also to neutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
irritates, thus ending bladder dis
orders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to
keep the kidneys and urinary organs
clean. thus avoiding serious kidney
disease.-Adv.

London, oct 5.-Having repulsed
the German attacks, presumably in
the vicinity of Roye. the French, ac-
cording to the official communication
have resumed the offensive at several
points. while other positions on their
left have been appreciahly main
tained
The great effort Of the allies to en-
velope the German right may there
tore ne said to be again in operation,
and 1t is believed that the whole
French column from Roye northward
to Arras is moving eastward against
the German positions.
Aim at Communication.
1t is the same operation that has
been tried repeatedly. for the last
three weeks In. an attempt to reach
the German lines Of communication
and encircle the German army form
ing the right wing or force it to fall
back to Belgium and Luxembourg.
The Germans have had a long time
in which to make their position Sc
cure, SO there is a lot of hard fighting
ahead for both the attacking forces
and the eefenses. The defensive role
is now apparently being assumed by
the invaders.
Watching Each Other.
In the center. from the Disc to the
Argonne the two well-entrenched ar
mics still are watching each other,
ready at moments notice to meet
attacks or by advice of aerial obsery-
ers. to move to some point where the
ilne is threatened. While there have
been many Of these movements, there
is little. according to the French re.
port, to record. In other words, the
situation remains virtually as 1t was.
In the Argonne district. where the
crown princes army attempted an ad-
vance few days ago, there has been
additional fighting with the result that
the Germans have been pushed back
northward. In southern Woevre the
French are making progress, but

In Lorraine and the Vosges there
IS no change in the positions of the
opposing forces This probably is ac-
counted for by the fact that the Ger

fortifications. while the French are
too busy elsewhere to attempt an in

the hostile infantry. where a few shots

was such that the attack itself went
but slowly. BY p. m. Volfingen, the
forests west of Saaraltdorf, and the
southern part of Saarburg, had been
taken, and the enemy was going back

This latter fact was proved by entries

HOMEOPATHY

Another important advantage of
Homeopathy Is. that it is possible to
treat cases before physical or objec-
tive manifestations appear, and by SO
doing to cut short their progress.
Every practitioner comes across cases
in which he can find no physical
signs Of disease. The physical signs
clan finds out for himself on the body
Of the patient. They are also called
objective signs: But very often the
patient complains Of subjective symp-
toms only, viz, what he feels.
The rationale Of the old school
treatment rests upon q pathological
basis. They must have physical signs,
or at least q theory Of physical
cause for the symptoms which the
especially in chronic diseases, has
symptoms to which a physical disease
basis cannot be ascrihed, then their
best treatment must be mere guess
work.
The homeopathic Law applies here
Just as readily - in tho other cases.
The homeopathic physician does not
require to wait for physical signs. or
to build up theories % to the cause Of
the treatment Of the patient. The
Homeopath does not ignore the sci
ence Of diagnosis, but It ID not neces-
sary for his treatment. The hoYneo-
path makes q thorough examination
OF the patient by all modern methods,
