Many pale sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,
and eventually discover that the drug

of the trouble.

and drank it every day. / never had
much flesh and often wondered why
was always so pale, thin and weak.
About five years ago my health
completely broke down and was con-
fined to my bed. Ny stomach was in
such condition that | could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time | was drinking
coffee, didn't think I could do without
It.
after awhile | came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give it up and try Postum.
When it was made right-dark and
rfch--I soon became very fond Of it.
In one week I began to feel better.
I could eat more and sleep better. My
SICK headaches were less frequent, and
within five months / looked and felt
like a new being, headache spells en-

Expression Is OLD One.

The expression the devil to pay
and no pitch hot" is CT nautical origin,
according to Brewers Dictionary Of
Phase and Fable" which says: The
devil is q seam between the CARDBOARD
strake and the Keel and the pay is to
cover it with pitch. In former times.
when vessels were often careened for
repairs. it was difficult TO caIk and pay
this seam before the tide turned.
Hence the locution. the ship is car
eened. the devil is exposed, but there
is 10 hot pitch ready. and the tide
viii turn before the work can be done.
(F'rench payer, from paix, polk, pitch)
Here's the very devil to pay, is used
in quite another sense. meaning:
Here's a pretty kettle of fish, I'm
in a pretty mess etc-''-A. T. c.

ing Teutons, until toward dawn the
men of both sides were ready to drop
from sheer exhaustion.
Just before daybreak the Germans
threw all their remaining strength and
energy into one final charge, that was
conducted with all the vim and cour-
age that could be expected of fresh
troops.
They charged like madmen-like ia
natics who knew nothing of the fear
of death.
But they were rolled back again,
and to their enormous losses OF the
night was added another long roll Of
dead and wounded. 1t was as if this
was their one chance Of salvation, and
all the desperation and all the reso-
luton at their command was thrown
into it,
Hardly had they recovered from this
final grand sortie when the allies fol-
lowed with a vigorous counter-attack
in an effort to catch the Germans off
their balance. In this the allies were
partly successful, for they gained
ground slightly.
On the morning OF the seventeenth
fighting again was resumed with the
desperation that rivaled that of the
big night attack.
At the end Of the day it appeared
that the Germans had been forced
to retire about seven miles.
During the fighting, which lasted all
day and into the night, the Germans
lost 600 prisoners, aside from the
dead and wounded, which could not
be computed, and number Of rapid
fire guns.
.. Darkness made the operations ex
tremely difficult, as the use of search
lights by the rival commanders was
refrained from, owing to the danger
of exposing their positions.
Hand-to-hand fighting, in which the
| bayonet was used extensively, result
| ing in terrible losses, marked the com
bat as one of the most furious evel
fought.
The progress of the battle indicated
that the rival supreme commander
are going to leave decision OF thu
gigantic conflict to the big guns. Thu
struggle Is so titanic that mere nu
merical strength, even when tina
strength is counted in the millions, ha
proved itself inadequate to force tn
issue to a decisive result.
