sonal representative OF President VIII
son there, received a long message
from the state department instructins
him to urge upon General Carranza
the belief Of the United States that

count of the readiness Of the CarbaJal
government to surrender its power.
Carranza was urged also to give guar
antees for the protection Of the lives

which the spirit of revenge might
arouse in conquering army

L O WILL TELL"
The Heroes of the War.

"Blood will tell" is an axiom that
in all the ages has never been gain
said. Every man who does a brave
heroic act carries within his veins a
quality of blood that urges and sus'
tains him. No matter whether ne
inherits it from a long line Of fam
GUS ancestors or from the sound and
healthy constitution Of his immediate
parents, whose only distinction is
honorable toll and a simple, virtuous
life.
It matters little where or how you
obtain it, but it matters all the worlc
that by some e you possess good
blood. Good blood is first, last and
always the making of manly men and
womanly women. 1t is the source OF
all courage, virtue and happiness.
A new man can be made out of one
that's "used up bilious and dyspep-
tic. It's done by Dr.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery. 1t starts the
torpidsliver into h%ealthful action, pur-
|ifies and enriches the blood, cleans
es, repairs and strengthens the sys-
TEN, and restores health and vigor.
AS an a%ppetizing, restorative tonic,
it sets at work all the processes OF
digestion and nutrition, and builds up
flesh and strength. It's the only
blood and liver remedy that's guaran-
teed, in every case, to benefit or
cure. If it doesn't do all that's claim
ed for it, the money is promptly re-
funded. But it keeps its promises
that's the reaso it can be sold in
this way.
It is not a secret remedy, for it's

MEMS 3 LASS.

The belief that a great many men
would he more interested in religious
questions if they heard them discuss
ed has led to the formation Of a B'usl-
ness Mems Bible Class, which meets
at 1900 M, Sundays, at the Presby-
terrain church. The class IS not o
part Of the Sunday school; it is not
connected with the service that pre-
cedes the class. 1t is a meeting where
men of every shade CT thought are
welcome; it is an open parliament
for religious discussion. All men are
heartily invited to attend.

OSTEOPATHY is "A GEN
L CURATIVE SCIENCE

DR.. A. r. STILL, the venerable founder of OSTEOPA-
THY, one day called his system of manipulative surgery
by this term: "ADJUSTMENT HEALING And that
precisely expresses the consideration, the gentleness, the eff
fectiveness back Of the work of the Osteopathc Physician.
He finds your body, or parts of il, in certain abnormal or
unnatural conditions, and he SETS TT RIGHT in a free, ma
tural, easy way. Nothing could be simpler, nothing more
in accord with Natures own. methods. Oftentimes it is
merely a question of relieving nerve pressure, or relaxing a
muscle, or strengthening a bit Of bone; and in every case the
individual anatomy of the patient is carefully studied, so
that the treatment is in fact MORE PERSONAL than any
medical or drug dosing could possibly be. No posons are
injected into the system that have to be again cleaned out.
The relief is simple and lasting. Think it over.

ALLIES ADVANCE
AND WITHDRAW
German Force at Lille Near
Belgian Border, 1t Threat
ems Allies Left.
Violent Fighting Continues on
Western Wing.

OF developments on the western
wing of the battle line in France, the
meagre information given to the pub
lie makes clear only that the fighting
is still indecisive, with the action north
of the Disc river becoming more vio'
lent.
That the Germans have forced their
way past the fortresses surrounding
Antwerp is indicated by an announce
ment by the military governor there
that bombardment of the city is i'm
minent.
From the French War Office it is
announced that on the Allies left wing
the front is extending more and more
widely" and important masses of Ger
man cavalry have appeared in the en-
virons of Lille. Alternate advances
and Withdrawals by the Allies in the
region between the Somme and the
Disc are reported, and progress by the
Allies north of scissors and in the
vicinity of Berry-au-Bec is claimed.
Capture by the Germans of the
LOII Odllp QCo IlOlud4LGJ OAA LILO
River Meuse, near st. Mihiel, with a
number of prisoners, is officially AMI
nounced at Berlin. Official announce
ments at the German capital repeat
the claim that the Russians were de-
feated in the recent battle near Su-
walki and Augustowo, on the East
Prussian frontier, and declare that the
situation is most hopeful everywhere
sfor the Germans and Austrians.
An official statement at Petrograd
announces that the Russians continue
their offensive campaign on the west
ern frontier and are bombarding the
Germans fortified position. Desperate
fighting in the vicinity of Bakalargewo
is reported. A press dispatch from
Petrograd says that the Germans are
retreating along the frontier of East
