GERMANS MENACE THE.
ROAD TO PETR0GRAD;
TURKS BURN VILLAGE.

LONDON, Sept 14-Field Marshal
Won Hindenberg's drive near Dvinsk,
where the railroads leading from Folna
TO Petrograd has been reached, has
again menaced railway communica
tions with the Russian capital.
There are comparative successes in
other sections in the last fortnight,
however, it causes the Russians to
view the latest threat against Petro-
grad with no great alarm.
British opinion is that the Court
land campaign is costing the Germans
heavily in men and supplies and likely
to fail unless the Russian offensive Oh
the other extreme along the front car
be stopped soon.
In the latest attack in eastern Ga
licia, the Russians are reported to
have penetrtted the Austro-German
trenches in the face of a heavy artil-
lery fire.
To the north the Russians are with
drawing steadily from that dangerous
Nieman salient, opposing the German
advance by stubborn rear guard ac-
tions.
The tremendous duel of big guns
still marks the operation along the
French Belgian and Italian fronts.
There is very little infantry activity
on either side.
From the near east comes the report
that the Turks are firing villages on
the Asiatic shore of the Dardanelles
and it is suggested that they might be
preparing to abandon the straits.
1t is also reported that the Turkish
shore batteries on the Asiatic side
have almost been reduced to silence.

AGG|E COLLEGE OPENS

ATHENS, Ga, Sept. 14.-Registra-

Agriculture for the year 1915-16, has

are that a banner attendance is to be
recorded in spite of the adverse agri-
cultural conditions that have prevailed
in Georgia during the past year. The
indications are that the accommoda-

taxed to care for the increase. A good

$4,000 BRITISH LOST
SINCE THE WAR BEGAN

LONDON, Sept 14.-It is officially
announced in the House of Commons
that the British casualties since the
war began is 9S1 700 officers and men
killed, wounded and missing.
The losses are not so heavy during
the summer as in April and May,
which is probably due to the compare
tive inactivity of the troops on the
western frint, and it is assumed that
most of he casualties of the summer
were at the DardanelIes.

Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beauty
Gray, Faded, LifeIess Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti.

Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's SO easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, it is re-
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

There was the Illinois woodsman

pathies, for he left no poems to tell
them. No one will ever know how
often he scorned a chance to rob a
nest or bring down with his gun. a
feathered mate; or how often, instead
of the thought of cruelty, there fut-
tered over his rough face that look Of
tender understanding which always
came when when wood creatures or
men were at his mercy.
The boy Lincoln had argued, can
ants life is as sweet to it as ours to
US" and, as his first incensed boy
speeches had been against cruelty to
animals, now, as man. he would stop

If you must have your meat every

salts occasionally, says a noted author

acid which almost paralyzes the kid

the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue

you have rheumatic twinges The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces Of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
