ONLY A TACTICAL GAIN
Frankfurter zeitunes Comment on
Allied Offensive.

Commenting on the AngloFrench
offensive on the Somme front, the
Frankfurter Zeitung says, according
to dispatch from Amsterdam, by way
OF London at 1853 p, m. yesterday
The enemy achieved tactical
gain 1t was terrible day, appalling
ly sanguinary for the assailants, and
it resulted in a most trying situation
for the defenders. Streams of blood
flowed and vast quantities of shells
fell upon the German positions north
of the Somme Again the British and
French hurled a yeritable army
against our line A tactical gain was
the result. In strategy the entente
won nothing. Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has not swerved a hairs
breadth from the calm course he has
laid. The western front experienced
the most severe hour it has yet known
and in it We lost stubbornly-defended
villages and valuable positions, but
as a whole the front remained firm
and it was impossible to break
through"

EXPECT TO UNCOVER

Many Prominent FmancierS
Summoned to Appear Be-
fore Grand Jury

Washington, Dec. 12.-President vii.
son late yesterday personally approved
plans of the department of justice for
big nation wide food probe supple
mented by special grand jury investi-
cation, where necessary,
Following a conference of nearly an
hour with President Wilson, Special AS
sistant Attorney General Anderson, in
charge Of the probe, announced he
would be unable to leave for Chicago
tonight as scheduled to assume direc-
tion Of the grand jury investigation
there. He said, however. the grand
juries called at Chicago, New York and
Cleveland will go right ahead.
Government suspicion, notably in the
agricultural department, has been d.
rected towards the big packing houses
for nearly a year. Those in intimate
touch with the probe believe that it is
in this direction the cudgel of the law
will fall the heaviest.
1t is also considered highly probable
that the grant juries to be called in
Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland and
probably Kansas City, Minneapolis and
st. Louis, within the next few days,
will delve into operations of chambers
of commerce and other similar bodies.
Anderson had no appointment with
President Wilson before leaving Washs
ington, but it was believed probable he
would see him for brief informal talk.

Somehow the word has gone out that
the fraternal bodies are going to play
Santa Claus to all Salem at their big
holiday "doings" at the armory De-
cember 81, % and %. Folks who feel
that "Luek" is one of their character
istics are firm in the belief that all they
have to do is to attend the pre-holiday
"show' and their Christmas gift prob
lem will be solved.
Several members of the Moose lodge,
who claim to be on the inside are pre-
pairing to take advantage of their natur-
al luck and are strengthening their
chances by packing huge horse shoes
and innumerable rabbits feet.
However, lodge officials claim that
they are in wrong. They claim that arti-
fieial luck promoters will be of no avail
that the natural "Lueki of each in
dividual will be the only possible ad-
vantage.
Why all this talk about "lucl' and
"Are you luckya" That is the question
that is perplexing Salem folks. What

knows will tell and those who don t
know can't.
There the matter stands. In the mean
while the various fraternal organiza-
tions are, going ahead with their plans
and keeping their council. Committees
are meeting daily to complete the plans
and seem to take fiendish delight in
withholding the details of the show from
the public.
"It is best that you don t know what
we are going to offer at the armory, !"
declared the chairman of lodge com
mittee this morning. "You will be all
the more gratified at the many surprises
we are planning. When you enter the
armory the surprise will more than com
pensate you for the curiosity of these
two weeks. You will find more than 20
different features-each one worthy of
your patronage. And, of course, there
will be surprise connected with each
and every feature of the 'fhig show"
Apparently this fraternal show is
show of contradictions and riddles. At
least Salem can t figure it out. All tina;
can be done is to wait and ask each

Baekache, Rheumatism >and Dropsy.

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the pois0ns are carried to all parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches

bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obstin-
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects tho muscles and
joints, 1t causes iumbago, rheumatism,
gout or sciatica. This is the time TO try
