a transfer to American holders Of much
commercial paper owned in Great Brit

being kept up by shipping specie TO

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent THEN
health depends upon the condition of the
Kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that un
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected o,
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy il
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.
The mild and healing influence of thi.
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
ICED, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have useo
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and $l.00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR.

RESUME HEAVY OFFENSIVE IN

SECOND VERDUN FORT

confirmed German Message
British Claim 800 Yards Of
Trenches Retaken Along
Ypres-Comines Canal.

London, March 4. The Germans
have resumed their heavy offensive in
the region of Verdun, with the French
everywhere strongly opposing it..
While on most of the front from east
of the Meuse down into the Woevre
region the German big guns have been
active, around Douaumont the Teutons
launched several infantry attacks of
extreme violence. This, the French
war office declares, was put down by
the French troops whose fire declmat-
ed the enemy ranks. LIE Mort Homme,
the Cote du Pivre and the Douau-
mont sector particularly, have suffer-
ed heavy bombardment.
French Guns Effective.
North of St. Mihiel, the French
guns have been worked effectively
against the German positions. In AL
SAGE in the region of Seppois heavy
artillery duel has been in progress.
The British along the Ypres-Com
ines canal have reversed the victory
gained over them February II, by re-
taking the 800 yards of trenches which
the Germans captured at that time
The German mine galleries in the
trenches were destroyed and four Of
ficers and 176 men were taken pris-
oners In addition, French guns have
destroyed a German work in the re-
sion Of Beauvraignes, which lies be-
tween the Somme and Disc rivers.
Teutons Claim Gain.
Unconfirmed reports from German
sources said the French had evacuat-
ed Fort de Vaux, one Of the Verdun
forts, two miles southeast of Fort
Douaumont.
The defenses, 1t IS stated, were
wrecked by German mortar fire. From
the heights south of Douaumont the
French have played steady streams of
shells over the approaches and the
ruins of the fort and the Germans
have been unable to occupy it.
II this report is true, the Germans
have now wrecked two of the forts
defending Verdun from the northeast,
Fort Douaumont having been Destroy
ed by shell fire several days ago. Fort
de Vaux lies five miles northeast of
Verdun.
No mention of the reported capture
was made in the French official re-
port.

Action in the Senate, it is believed,
will be followed promptly by sitting
of sentiment in the House against the
Presidents foreign policy.
Greatest Debate in Years.
In one of the greatest non-partisan
debates the Senate has heard in
years, Chairman Stone of the foreign
relations committee declared he was
not in accord with the President; Sen
ator Lodge, the ranking Republican,
pledged MS support to the Presidents
determination to secure to Americans
their rights on the high seas, and
Senator John Sharp Williams, just
from sick bed, delivered a wither-
ing denunciation of the Presidents op-
ponents.
The Senate adjourned until the fol-
lowing day when the administration
leaders planned to bring up the Gore
resolution and table it, disposing of 1t
finally as an embarrassment to the
President in his conduct of diploma
tic negotiations with Germany. They
have found that not more than %
votes can be mustered against them.
House Leaders Confident.
In the House, where the President
was faced with further delay, the
promise of administration victory in
the Senate gave signs of breaking UP
the opposition and the leaders were
confident Of similar action there.
While the Senate debated there
came news to the state department
from Berlin which Convinced officials
that the contention in Congress was
being deliberately made to weaken the
Presidents hand in Germany. Conf
Dental advices state that reports cir
culated in the German capital as hav-

Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, Respondent
worried; some days headachy, dull anu
unstrung; some days really incapaci
tated by illness.
II we all would practice inside-bath
ing, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead Of thousands OF
half-sick, aneemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy. rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea'
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day Of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the sys'
tenn nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out, else 1t ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs OF the previous days
accumulation Of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth'
or sick or we'll, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate In
It, as harmless means Of washing
out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food i:lto the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A quar-.
ter pound of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or
ut the store, but Is sufficient to dem
onstrate to anyone, It's cleansing

your kidneys will act fine. This ia.
