ADVICE.

times since girlhood. I was all run
down and weak. Was advised to try
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
when I took the first dose began to
improve. I took OILY three bottles OF

this remedy to others. My sister has
also had good results from it:"-MRs.

Centerville, Iowa.
An affection confined to women
must have its cause In the wonanly
nature. There is no doubt that dis
eased condition of the delicate wonl-
anly organs, is in general responsible
for feminine nervousness and an
undermined constitution.
The use of DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription makes women happy by
making them healthy. There are no
more crying spells. rFavorite Pre-
scription'' cures Inflammation and
female weakness. 1t makes weak
women strong, sick women well.
Like an open book, our faces tell
the tale of health or disease. Hollow
cheeks and sunken eyes, Istless steps
and larguorous looks tell of wasting
debiliating disease some place in the
body. 1t may be one place or an
other, the cause is generally traceable
to common source.
Get the Prescription to-day-either
in liquid or tablet form-if you want to
better your physical condition speedily.

A youngsters heart is lightest:

could go no further. The second
line was well sandbagged and cram

- tsOur artillery then began again to
drop shells on the Germans with
mathematical precision Fifty yards
from us we could see them blow into
the air. The second night fell and
we could see nothing for the sky was

rain poured in torrents.
TN spite of all this our infantry

Shaken by our inpetuous charge, the
Germans fed.
.srhe tireless French again dashed
forward the enemy. In darkness
the Germans struck frantically
around them, killing their own men
whom they were unable to recognize.
After a few minutes of carnage the
Germans fed for their own POSITIONS
leaving the ground covered with dead
and wounded. An impressive silence
fell over the battlefield while $50
haggard prisoners were led to the
rear.
Dawn revealed terrifying sight.
Everywhere lay the German dead,
many falling with rifles c1asped in
their stiffened hands as if about to
fire again. The Germans paid dearly

Paris. March 8.-The manner in
which a serious German attack at
Notre Dame De Iorrette was trans
formed into a defeat in which 5000
Germans were killed, is described in
Asthe Petit Parisien by one of the COM
batants.
rs The Germans blew in by mines our
first line of trenches, says the story
Before the echoes of the explosion
had died away an avalanche Of Ger
mans poured down and forced the
French into the second line of trench
es After a fierce han d-to-hand
struggle the Germans sud denly raked
the trenches with two machine guns,
forcing the defenders into the third
1iraesSf from which they were forced to
retire on an easily defensible posi-
gti6hf IN the rear after another bayonet
battle with superior Numbers.
In no way demoralized, our men
spent the night preparing to win back
the lost position which the Germans
strengthened with sand bags Our
artillery was placed in position ready
10 fire. As soon as dawn broke the
three inchers opened with salyos.
The shells burst in our old trenches,
peppering the Gera1az1s5 metllodic ally
Then the heavy artillery Joined in de-
1noralizing them. Thier artillery tried
to reply and its shells exploded with
eIwe-in inspiring noise but did no harm-
The din became appalling. Our
pieces fired as rapidly as they could
be loaded. After hours OF firing. the
guns ceased. The Germans fred vol
ley after volley .woT king their quick
hrers but our men would not be de-
