French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The
French have for generations used
a simple mixture of vegetable oils
that relieve all stomach and intesti-
nal ailments and keep the bowels
free from foul, poisonous matter.
The stomach is left to perform its
functions normally.
Mr.. Geo. H. Mayr, a leading drug
gist of Chicago, cured himself
with this remedy in a short time.
The demand is so great that he i'm
ports these oils from France and
compounds them under the name of
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy.
People everywhere write and testi-
fly to the marvellous relief they have
received using this remedy one
dose will rid the body of poisonous
accretions that have accumulated
for years and convince the most
chronic sufferer from stomach, liv-
er or intestinal troubles. Mayr's
Wonderful Stomach Remedy is now
sold here by Bradshaw's Pharmacy.

tain, France, Austria and Germany.
Russia's reply has not yet been re-

ALI the replies informed the Presi-

this time.
France in declining the American
offer, informed the State Department
that Germany was the aggressor in
the present war and that France did
not consider the principle for which
she was fighting one which would ad-
NIT of mediation. Premier Vivian,
informed President Wilson, that, al
though France did not feel herself
free to accept his offer, the French
government accepts this as another
proof of friendship.
The declination of Great Britain
said she was fighting for the question
of national honor and the independ-

would admit of mediation at this time.
Germany and Austria both aver that

GERMAN CANNON CAPTURED
The Advance of French and British
Has Reached Much Further Than
Was Known.

Paris, Aug, 1S.-The French wal
office announced the capture OF ST
Blasien, in Baden, by the French.
This indicates that the French have
crossed Southern Alsace and pene
trated Germany beyond the frontiers
of the old French Province.
1t is announced that French
troops have occupied the town OF Sea
irmeck, seven and one half miles be
yond Saales, in Alsace.
They took II field guns, IL calssons
and rapid fire guns.
The French cavalry then pushed or
to Mulbach and Lutzelhausen, small
villages east of Schirmeck.
The frontier heights OF Albers CIV
eiler, Lorguini, Azoundage and Marsa
have also been taken by the French
and they have occupied Altenberg
where they seized several heavy hele
guns abandoned by the retreatlns
Germans.
AT the same time, however, the wal

several field pieces were capturce
from the Germans. In the Blamon
district nineteen motorcar transports
wagons and other effects fell into oul
hands. The morale of the French
troops is excellent"
"At the moment that the German
main force comes in contact with oul
troops, our allies will force both Aus
TRANS and Germans to engage in al
additional struggle, which, 1t seems
likely, will be of vast proportions,
SAYS the war Office statement.
Germany is being put upon the de
fensiye and it is impossible to avoie
the conclusion that her position at the
front is unsatisfactory"
High praise is given to the courage
of the French troops on the Lorraine
border and to the brilliancy will
which they have carried out their op
erations.
Reinforcements are being sent tt
the French troops that recapturet
