THE PLACE THAT MEN CALL H
Twas but little while ago we had
no aerOplanes,
Twas not so very long before there
were no window panes:
The auto came but recently, electric
lights as we'll,
But there's one place that's always
been-a place that men call hell.
Ten years ago we could not see a NOV
Ing picture show,
Our ancestors all failed to view
street car on the go.
The guns we now kill people with are
something that excel,
But there's one place we can't i'm
prove-a place that men call hell.
0 we've improved most everything
from trains to submarines,
And we've invented wireless, the
phone and wash machines,
But there's one place that will not
change, at least for quite a spell,
And that's place that we all know
the place that men call hell
0 yes i'll spite of all we do upon this
earthly sphere,
There is one thing will never change
as long as men are here.
This place will always be the same

A place we do not have to name-the
place that men call hell.

Mr.. Hughes Record.

Charles E. Hughes has a good rec
ord behind him From 1910 to 1916
he served as chief justice of the SUI
preme court of America. While on
this body he proved to the nation
that he belives in justice, that he can
recognize justice when he sees it. and
that ne can put up a firm stand for
what he knows to be right Previous
to his being chief justice, Mr.. Hughes
was governor of New Jersey and may
or OF New York. A long and faithful
course of public service has well fitted
him for the highest position in the
land. If he keeps his promise, and
he always has, and if he carries out
his ideas, and he is able to and his
record says he will, he is the man to
fill the presidents chair from 1916
to 1920.

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You Have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow Of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find Iodg.
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings Of the nasal
passages and clog them Up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos.
trils frequently with solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re.
firing, and take spoonful Of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York. Sept. 14.-Special: Re
Stunning their offensive north of the
Somme in France, French forces
again have smashed the German line,
captured a front and other trenches
and taken about 1900 prisoners.
The new attacks were made on the
front from Combles to the river. So
vicious was the thrust of the French
that ii required only half an hour for
them to overcome the resistance of
the Germans and make themselves
masters of three and three-quarters
miles of front line trenches.
East and southeast of Combles
they seized additional trenches along
the Bethune-Peronne road, which
leads from Peronne northward
through Bapaume and Arras TO Be
thune. placing a serious impeachment
in the way of the Germans for the
movement of their transports from
the north to Peronne. On the Brit
ish end of the front only mutual
bombardments took place.
All along the Macedonian front
the heavy offensive of the entente
continues. Bulgarian trenches on a
front of two miles and TO a depth of
500 yards are reported by Paris TO
have been captured by the French
west of the Vardar river near Maja-
dagh. which lies about four miles
south of Gievgeli. On the Struma
front the British, aided by the French
have made additional gains east OF
the river in the Lake Takinos region.
The army of the Teutonic allies is de-
clared to have suffered heavy casual
ties in the latter engagement.
