FRENCH SEIZE VILLAGE.
City Taken in Bayonet Charge to
Hold Lines.


Hold Lines.
London.-The allies are resting con-
tent to hold their positions in Belgium
and northern France until the winter
is past. In the spring, when 100000
more British troops will take the field,
an effort for a general advance to
drive the Germans into their own
country will be made. The latest
news from the battle front indicates
but little activity, the lull evidently
being enforced by the bad weather.
Steinbach, village in Upper Alsace,
is now in the hands of the French
after house-to-house fighting. This
loss Berlin admits.
Monday was marked by artillery
duels, with occasional infantry dashes
for slight gains, but the line from the
Disc to the sea was almost completely
calm.
German headquarters declare that
the situation on the eastern, front re-
mains unchanged and nothing has
reached London to contradict this
statement.
Politically, the American note still
occupies a prominent position, divid-
ing attention with speculations as to
what Rumania and Italy intend to do.

Decidedly Quenched.

Il wish to see Miss Bluffham," said
the young man with brown shoes and
red hair.
"She is not in. sir" answered the
maid, with a glibness that told of long
practice in the ways of deceit.
"Are-are you sure?" faltered the
youth, nervously twisting mustache
that only became apparent when at.
tention was thus directed to it.
The maids eyebrows elevated them
selves.
DO you doubt her word, sir?" she
asked, reproachfully.
Blushing deeply over his unworthy
thought he turned and went away.

STOP EATING MEAT IF
KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT
Take a Glass Of Salts to Clean Kid
neys II Bladder Bothers YOU
Meat Forms Uric Acid.

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 backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys 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, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids In
the urine SO it no longer trritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
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.

Left It to the Horse.

The Swede knew that he was in
competent, but he needed the job very
badly indeed. The farmer saw at q
glance that he was a green hand. but
he was urgently in need Of help.
So an arrangement was made. After
dinner the farmer sent his new hand
down to plow a field, and few mo-
ments later followed him. Peering
from the concealment of a clump of
bushes, he observed for some time the
frantic but futile efforts of his hand
to run a straight furrow. Finally the
Swede came to a discouraged halt,
mopped his brow and addressed the
horses wearily.
"Oh, well, then, go wherever you
please he said. 1T all ban got to be
plowed anyway"

Expense of Hunting Licenses Cut.

Denver.-Seventy per cent of the
former cost of printing state hunting
and fishing licenses has been saved by
the adoption Of a smaller and more
convenient size Of license by State
Game and Fish Commissioner Fraser.
The new license fits in n .cardcase or
pocketbook and is the size OF an ordi-
nary railroad pass or lodge card. Sew
enty thousand of the new cards have
been purchased at cost Of 50 thou
sand. The cost OF the old cards was
$40, so that net saving is made this
year of $49O.

MER|CUS WILL
HAVE PEACHES
DESPITE FREEZE

Orchards about Americus give
promise of fair crop of peaches des
pite the late March freeze which, it
was feared, had obliteratcd all pros
pect of peaches this summer. The
trees are still abloom, and while the
damage wrought was serious, the or
chardmen are still hopeful of at least
half crop of Carmens, Bellies and Ell
bertas. A bulletin issued yesterday by
the national department of agriculture
predicts a fairly good crop in the
peach belt. In north Georgia a full
crop seems assured, while in the Mar
shallvilla Ft. Valley section a crop
of forty per cent, is confidently count
ed upon. There will be peaches all
right, and the fact that half the crop
was killed may serve to render the re-
naming half even better, bringing the
fruit to greater perfection.

WHILE SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE
YET UNPAID AS WELL.

Sumter's school teachers, who still

is no money available in the hands OF
State Commissioner Lindsey. may have
to wait some time yet for their money,
der the law, Confederate pensions must
be paid before the pedagogues get their
money, and the sta. .e is still due Con-
Eederate pensioners nearly half mil
lion dollars.
Georgia pensioners in many coun-
ties are clamoring for their Money and
Commissioner Lindsey keeps telling
them they will be paid as soon as the
tax collectors of the state send in to
the treasury sufficient funds with
which to make payment.
But the pensioners continue to cla-
NOR and the tax. collectors send not.
Georgia is further behind with her
tax collections this year than has
been the case within decade or more.
Business depression and the cotton
crisis are held responsible for it; the
people have not been paying up as
they usually do and tax collectors have
been more than ordinarily lenient with
them on account of hard times.
All of this, however, is not satisfy
ing the pensioners and state officials,
too, are feeling the effect of it, mas
much as there are those who, lack
ing an understanding of the situation
blame them because the money is not
forthcoming.
