London, Sept. 1.-While reports
from the eastern war theatre, en-
bracing the region from Courland to
southeastern Galicia, indicate that the
Germans and Austrians are still
pressing the Russians hard in combat
or tenaciously following them in re-
treat, military observers here are hop
ing that the approaching equinoxial
season will limit the further forward
movement of the Teutons and force
them to be content with the fruit of
their past successes as the winter sea-
son falls upon them.
Both Berlin and Vienna lay empha-
sis on the statement that Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburgs forces along
the Dvina river in Courland have re-
newed their activities, which were
brought to sudden halt recently with
the success of the Russians in holding
Riga as a menace to Won linden
burg's rear.

Brest-Litovsk region, the Austrians

oat, and during the forenoon brought
in the children from the surrounding
districts. For one day poyerty-touch-
ed kids were hated, shoed and fed.
When the next year rolled around
the question of repeating the good
work arose and it being before the
days of extensive newspaper adver-
Using, the storekeepers once again
were called upon to turn over their
stocks with charity as an excuse.
This time the response was so gener-
GUS that several prominent Benning-
ton ladies interested themselves in
earnest, among them Mrs, Henry
w Putnam, and permanent quarters
every winter were secured in the
drummer's room of the Putnam house.
Again the children were remember
ed, and gradually, year after year,
the practice has been maintained un-
til it came to a question OF perma-
nent organiZa ton TO take charge of
the work, lay it out Systematically
and handle it with business dispatch.
Gradually this oganization, accord
ing to Doc Miller, went from the ma
terial necessities of Bennington's
young people into their social condi-
tons. Balls and bazaars were given
to aid in swelling the Christmas
fund. The pleasure in getting these
up brought the young people together,
particularly the girls, until they used
| the organization also for social pur-
poses and acquired club-rooms in the
old Merton block. Permanent offic-
ers began to be elected from year to
year the work split up into commit
| tees, and Doc Miller was eliminated
| in the shuttle.
Finally a name was wanted for this
| permanent organization and for time
| the Putnam Club" was used, in hon
or of it's principle patroness, Mrs. II.
w. Putnma. When Mrs. Putnam NOV
ed away it was felt that the title did
not express the purpose of the so
ciety and it was finally changed to
the Young Woman's Club.
At the present time they maintain
a hall and club rooms over the Ban,
ner Office by the year and their actiyi
ties cover several branches OF work
beside Christmas charity, providing
a social center fer local young ladies'
with athletic work and classes in do
nestle science.
This, not in brief is the origin OF
the Y. W. c., according to the elderly
gentleman who wanted to see the
kids have good time on Christmas
morning. He is not at all bashfu
about taking credit for launching the
good work and is always willing tc
hear the cases of counterclaimants
providing they do not want all the
glory

Well Known Remedy
Relieves Chronic Case
Important to Dispose of Waste from
the Stomach With
Regularity.

People frequently attribute to fail
ure of the digestive organs conditions
that are primarily due to inactive
bowels, and apply remedies that from
their very nature are more apt to ag-
gravate than to relieve the disorder.
When the bowels act regularly the
stomach is in better shape to perform
its allotted tasks and can usually be
depended upon. To keep the bowles
in condition there is 40 more effec-
tive remedy than the combination of
simple laxative herbs known as DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which is sold
in drug stores for fifty cents bottle.
DIR. Caldwell has prescribed this
remedy in his practice for over quar-
ter OF a century and it is today the
standard household remedy in thous-

Of the others five are missing. l9 prisoners in Germany and many more in hospitals.
 Half the productions shown were in- spired by the war and many were finished at the front. Some are of the highest order many are mediocre and some are bad. but the critics are disarmed even before the poor works knowing that the proceeds of the sales will go toward the relief of distress Of widows or help edu- cate the artists orphans.
 Jean Pierre Laurens, now in a German prison camp, represented in a portrait Charles Peguy, the author who met d feroic death at the front M Gourdault, one of the most promising of the young artists was killed by shell. and M. Vidal, who survived a grieyous wound, represented the former in a painting bought by the state. An oil painting of General Joffre by Henry Jacquier has at tracted much notice, as a pastel of Gen eral Castelnua. made at the front.
 The work from the trenches is made up chiefly of sketches and water colors. The ruins of Rheims. Arras, devastated vil- lages, camp hospitals and burial scenes are represented in numerous works.
 The most conspicuous piece of sculp- ture is the model for a monument exc cuted in the trenches by r. Moreau- vauthier, the shaft being a German G. inch shell and the base group of Ger man soldiers writing under the crushing weight of their own engine of war
 The state has bought number of pie lures. The proceeds of the salon are for the relief fund of the Artists society.
