London, July 25.-Russian forces
have driven back the army of Field
IL miles at n point of the Riga front,
according to a dispatch from Petro-
grad.
Gain On 80 Mile Front.
Progress for the Russians is claimed
on a front running from the gulf of
than 80 miles the greatest advance be-
ing made along the coast line.
The dispatch says that fighting
went on without pause for four days.
1t has halted now, as the Russians
require time to consolidate the ground
they have gained, and the Germans are
waiting for reinforcements being
brought from other sectors of the east
ern front.
Teuton Warships Routed.
Six German destroyers, attempting
either a raid or a reconnaissance on
the British coast, were put to fight by
a British sea force in a running fight
off Shouwen bank Saturday night and
early Sunday, an admiralty statement
announces.
The German ships, 1t was said, we're
hit repeatedly. One British vessel was
struck once, but the total British cas-
ualties were two wounded. The Ger
man d~estroyers succeeded in reaching
a base on the Belgian coast.
Fight of Belgian Coast.
The North Hinder lightship is locat-
ed off the Belgian coast between Os-
tend and the mouth of the Scheldt riv-
err Shonwen bank is in the same
neighborhood. The action which the
admiralty describes, therefore, took
place off the Belgian coast. The Ger
man vessels engaged presumably came
from Zeebrugge, where there is a Ger
man destroyer base.
Two of five German destroyers, pre-
sumably those engaged in the running
sea fight off the Belgian coast Satur-
day night, returned to Zeebrugge with
a decided list, according to Exchange
Telegraph dispatches from The Hague.

Best oisinfeetant Known.

A physician writes to Farm and
Fireside saying: THAT the very best
disinfectant known to science. does not
seem to be known TO some people at
all.
81 allude to boric acid, or, as some
people call 1t. boracic acid. 1t Is ex.
ceedingly efficient, safe and econOmi-
cal. 1t is a white powder. and makes
the best dressing for wounds that mod
ern doctors have ever discovered. In
using peroxide of hydrogen 1t is al.
ways necessary to remember that
while it is a disinfectant it is not a
healing remedy at all. as 1t is acid In
reaction and stimulating, rather than
healing, to wounds. Boric acid is
mild and safe in its action. promotes
rapid healing of wounds, can be used
as dressing powder or, dissolved In
water, as cleansing solution. Boric
acid In solution makes an excellent
gargle for sore threats or lotion for
sore eyes, and as it is not at all eXpen-
sive q pound box of it should form
part of the domestic supplies of every
family. Always remember that boric
acid is nonpolsonous in any ordinary
quantity usually used, while bichloride
of mercury and carbolic acid are ex-
ceedingly poisonous. For disinfecting
and deodorizing drains. the crude or
unrefned carbolic acid is one Of the
best agents obtainable."

There are very few people in Amer

perfectly possible for any intelligent
boy or girl to raise at least a limited

When a vine or shrub is attacked by
caterpillars, the thing to do is to catch
the pests, hatch them into specimens
and make them pay for their board.
That it Is possible to earn $50 a week
by this means is proved by the ex-
ample of a young California girl, the
subject of an article announced for the
July st. Nicholas, describing how she
has cleared $500 in ten weeks of but
terfiy-farming, and is at present aver
aging as much as S75 a week. The
girl in question, Miss Ximena Nicola
