ARE YOU LOOKING OLD?

Old age comes quick enough
without inviting it. Some look old
at forty. That is because they
neglect the liver and bowels. Keep
your bowels regular and your liver
healthy and you Will not only feel

They are intended especially for
these ailments and are excellent.

THE CANADIANS
BREAK GERMAN
BATTLE LINES

London, Jan. 16.-1.06 A. M.-The Ca
madam regiment at the front has dis
tinguished itself in a stirring bayonet
charge at a place near Ypres known as
Dead Mans Alley" according to the
Daily Chronicles correspondent in
northeast France.
1.-The Germans" the correspondent
says, had moved a great mass of
men against this position. Mud helped
the thin British line to hold but the
honors were barely even until the Ca
madam regiment hurried up from the
rear.
Suddenly there was heard a roar of
voices and a long line of SLOUGH hat
ted men with fixed bayonets rushed
forward with the battle cry For Can
ada and Old England"
THE Germans broke before the
charge, which carried everything be-
fore it. Trench after trench fell and
the Canadians did not cease until the
Germans brought up their artillery.
The ground gained extended over a
mile in 'front.'

ASK RELATIONS
: OF PLAYER TO
ORGANIZED BALL

Chicago. Jan. 15.-Asking that the
scope of the suit brought by the Fed
eral League against organized base
ball be widened to include the indi-
vidual players in the Federal League
as well as the league itself, Lee Ma
gee, manager of the Brooklyn. FEEDER
ais today petitioned the United States
district court for leave to file an inter-
vening petition in the baseball injunc-
ton case.
According to his counsel, the Magee
petition raised the same questions as
the leagues suit, but, from the play
ers' viewpoint it asked the court spe-
cially to adjudicate the relations which
the player holds to organized base
ball.
In an affidavit accompanying the
petition, Joseph Tinker, manager of
the Chicago Federals, related that he
has been sold three times by organized
baseball without being consulted as
to his wishes.
The affidavit of James Walsh, filed
in the original suit, contained the al
legation that the letter of Sam E.
Lichtenhein censured him for forsak-
ing organized baseball, and warned
him that he would be blacklisted for
three years.

today that owing to the international

stain from accepting officially any foreign

will not prevent private initiative on the
part Of Americans or other foreigners
living in Italy or their friends at home
Ambassador Page is now approaching
the government with a view of ascertain
ing the best way of directing the relief
work in a manner acceptable to the au-
thorities and the people.
