main efforts during the last few
days have been concentrated on at
tempts to force path eastward.
The Russians captured German
trenches along the outskirts OF the
forest and a stubborn conflict is stu
in progress there. Yesterday south or
Malogostcha, which is sixteen miles
due west of Kielce, the Germans, alter
terrific preparatory bombardment,
attacked the Russian positions, but
were repulsed by the Russian front. AT
the village of BoksinetZ, twelve miles
north of Andreef, the Germans cap
tured a Russian intrenchment but were
afterward driven out and compelled to
retire.
The Russians, after three weeks Of
sustaining such frantic and infuriated
attacks as those which have astonished
the world. still maintain their line,
which runs practically straight north
and south along the meridian from
Mlawa to Andreef. From the latter
point the line bends back roughly
along the Nida River to the Vistula,
whose upper reaches beyond that are
in Western Galicia, where events are
entirely in the hands of the Russians.
The Austrian operations from the Car
pathians and Western Galicia, although
under German command and strength
ened by strong German forces, have
again failed TO effect their purpose.

"Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out of ten, due to acidity; there
fore stomach sufferers should, wnen-
ever possible, avoid eating food that
is acid in it's nature, or which by
chemical action in the stomach de-
velops acidity. Unfortunately, such
rule eliminates most foods which are
pleasant to the taste as we'll as those
which are rich in blood, flesh ana

reason why dyspeptics and stomach
sufferers are usually so thin, emaciat-
ed and lacking in that vital energy
which can only come from well 1ed

Stirring the delicate edges of the

The failure, and the friendship gone
