the very spot where IT took place. but
who apparently believed the French re-

the divisions dccimated at Verdun to
supply the driving power required for

MOST ADMIRABLE PART
or JOINT OFFENSIVE:
Tho most admirable part of the
joint offensive executed by the British
and French has been it's coordination
gained from the fact that the new
British levics under the impromptu
mechanism OF the leadership and stats
have been able not only to carry strong
German fortiications by storm. but also
TO maintain themselves in and beyond
the captured works. in spite OF tho de-
libcratcly maturcd schemes Of the Ger
mans to eject them, for there has been
severe fighting in and around the viii
lagos, more in the nature OF tho formc r
battles than most of the trench war
fare Of the last eighteen months. and
our new troops have acquitted them
selves well.
SO also have the Frcnch-hemmcd in

army once more has been able to

For the moment the Germans arc
Obliged to fix their eyes on the region
Of the Franco British thrust They
cannot possibly afford to let it penc-
tratc much deeper without risk of
great disaster. nor can they hold It in

DESPERATE BATTLES
ON RUSSIAN FRONT

Meanwhile. the political field has al

to-day's news is that the TWO opposing
political parties in Roumania have all

SHOULD END CAR SHORTAGE

The Monthly Review of Business, is
sued by the National Bank of the Re-
public, of Chicago, calls attention to
the fact that the railroad equipment
of the country was better employed
during April than in any April on rec
ord. There was an improvement eff
fected in the matter of car shortages,
the total shortages reported on May /
amounting to 10000 cars, as compared
with $4,000 cars the month before. On
roads reporting a surplus nearly 10000
cars. In spite of the fact that the price
of steel has been high nearly five times
as many freight cars were ordered dur
ing the first four months of the pres
ent year as were ordered during the
same period last year. More than 1000
locomotives were ordered during these
same months and it is said that further
placing of contracts is only limited by
the capacity of the builders. The Re-
view says that with this new equip
ment gradually coming into use and
the roads putting every available car
into commission, the heavy crop-mov-
| ing demand for cars, which begins in
July and attains its maximum in Octo-
Der, can this year be viewed with
| greater equanimity.

Dutch Have Economy Plan.

The Hague, Netherlands.-Holl
expects to save approximately $1,000
900 annually through its new summer
time" or daylight-saving scheme,
which went into effect at midnight of
April 80. Parliament's act, compris-
ing one short article, was adopted By
both chambers with only a few min
utes' discussion, and 100000 people
are rising an hour earlier and retir-
ing an hour earlier Aside from the
financial gain, much is expected to re-
suit in the way of beneficial influence
on the nations health.
The change was effected with a min
imum of inconvenience, and there were
few late-comers in schools and factor
les on the first morning of the new re-
gime. By a curious oversight, the
big clock of the Palace of Peace at
The Hague was seen to be still indi-
eating the old-time on May-day morn
ing.
The one industrial sphere in which
objections are raised is the agricul-
tural world. and a number of farmers
in Friesland and elsewhere are evinc-
ing an inclination to regulate their
activities by the old time. Earlier
milking, for instance, is not in the in
terests of the milk yield. while much
disadvantage is anticipated in the har.
vesting months

NEED OF SUNLIGHT.

A home without windows was
built for the blind in a certain Eng
hsh community. Scientific heating
and ventilation were provided but
the architects and trustees reasoned
that light was not necessary in a
house for sightless people.
So they erected their windowless
institution and installed its occu-
pants. Then they discovered that
human beings, like plants, dwindle
and die when deprived of the light
of the sun. They had to remodel
their building, and let in the suns
rays, in order to keep their blind
people alive.
Since the invention of the electric
light, we have all treated sunlight
with amazing Indifference. In sum
mer, especially, We spend much time,
thought, energy and money protect
ing ourselves from the sun. In so
doing, We are often acting not much
more wisely than the committee who
builded a house without light for
the blind. In summer, for instance,
we try to escape the sun as the
worst of all nuisances, when we &C
tually need its services in the cause
of our own good health.
So take your work and your play
out of doors when possible. Don't
risk sunstroke, but don't be afraid
of sweat and tan.

Neuritis is now too old a disease to
be fashionable And, besides, it is so
frequent in open and secret tipplers
that there really is no distinction in
having it So don't call every tran
sient lameness, ache, neuralgia pain
or muscle stiffness neuritis
Neur (nerve) tits Gnfammation) i,
neuritis, Inflammation of a nerve
This here tits is a very convenient
little suffix; hook it onto appendix
and you have Inflammation of the ap-
pendix; connect it with rhin (nose)
and you have rhinitis; annex it to
castro (stomach) and you have in
fiammation of the stomach.
Real neuritis is a prolonged, pain
full illness. 1t always lasts for weeks,
months, often for year or two, be-
fore recovery occurs. Pain, though
bad enough, is only one manifestation
Of neuritis. In fact, pain alone is not
sufficient to prove that the nerve is
inffamed, for in ordinary neuralgia the
pain the course of the affected nerve
facial or other) is atrocious, yet
there is no Inflammation of the nerve.
In neuritis there is invariably weak
ness, paresis partial paralysis or
actual paralysis of the muscle group
supplied by the affected nerve; also
there Is more or less wasting and
atrophy of the muscles and skin; also
more or less stiffness and immobility
Of the joints in the affected area.
Thus neuritis is no temporary all
ment which gives you a touch" to-
day and leaves you next week. No.
no; it stays longer than your country
cousins.
Perhaps the most commonly affect
ed nerve or nerve group is the brach-
ial plexus, which supplies the arm.
But any nerve or nerve group, or sew
eral at one time, may be involved in
neuritis. Alcoholic neuritis is apt to
cause multiple involvement, both legs,
or both legs and one arms at once
Lead neuritis is apt TO cause one or
both forearmS to be weakened or par
alyzed. Arsenical neuritis likewise.
Injury is the most frequent factor
Of neuritis.
Oyer-use of the part, or excessive
use in strained or abnormal pastures
is very common cause of neuritis-
baseball pitching tglass ARM, finger
writing (writer's cramp), etc.
Infection. originating in some septic
focus, such as an unsupported dental
abscess. pyorrhoea pocket or pelvic
abscess, is common factor Diseas-
ed tonsils play very important role
in the causation of hrachial neuritis.
Administration serves at least to
aggravate certain neuritis, even if it
is not capable OF producing the dis
ease. This is evident from the i'm
provement manifested when elimina-
ton, anti-toxic diet and intestinal dis
infectant remedies are administered.
Complete rest-with splints. sling,
or casts, If necessary-is the first and
best remedy for acute neuritis Heat
is always grateful, The underlying

President Wilson has addressed a
letter to Senator Lea of Tennessee and
Representative Slayden of Texas in
puiring of these congressman the like
lihood of getting action at this session
on a bill to appropriate 100000 for a
monument to John Ericsson, he in
ventor of the Monitor. The matter is
one which has occupied the presidents
attention for some little while and to
which he has given his unqualified ap-
proval.
President Wilson is a student and a
writer of history, hence it is not at all
strange to find him so willing to cham
pion such cause as the building of a
monument to Ericsson. The nation
has built monuments to other import
ant figures of the Civil war, to Lin
coin. to Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
and yet none of these men contributed
more practically to saving the Union
than did the Swedish-American in
ventor.
Had not Ericsson come to the aid of
the federal government and built the
Monitor, which was able to defeat the
confederate ram Merrimac in Hampton
Roads on March 8, 1862, there is not
the slightest doubt but that the result
Of the Civil war would have been a di-
vided America, The Monitor enabled
the north to dominate the sea, to alb
solutely blockade the south, except for
sporadic blockade-runners, and to
starve the confederacy into submits
sion. Not only that. but its timely in
vention averted European intervention
which was ready to act for the parti-
ton of the United States.

ANCIENT PURE FOOD LAWS,

Pure food laws are not alone pro-
duct of the twentieth century
Ages ago the citizens and the state
protected their food supplies by both
municipal laws and religious customs
and commandments
The Egyptians were forbidden to eat
the meat of a COW, as this animal was
the sacred one of the god Isis, and
the eating of the flesh of any other
animal that was considered sacred was
also violation of the religious or
civil code.
1t was illegal for the Athenians to
eat the meat of lamb that h~l not
been shorn once, and by the Romans
goat meat was considered unwhole-
some, but pork was their favorite, 50
different preparations being made of
this kind of meat.
The art of sausage making was a
finished one in Rome and most of the
we'll known varieties were made and
relished by the inhabitants. and the
sailing of meat was practiced as far
back as the time of Homer.
In the days of ancient Rome slaugh-
ter houses and meat booths we're
among the largest of public buildings.
The Israelites were forbidden by
Moses to eat fat or blood and were
commanded to avoid the meat of hogs.
While the Phoenicians abstained from
eating the meat of the COW, dog meat
was very much desired by them.
The japanese were forbidden to eat
fish for the reason that the flesh
decomposed too rapidly. Hares were
considered unclean and unwholesome
and were eaten only by the poor in
Rome.
There were many penalties attached
for the violation of the municipal laws
or religious customs In Rome, con-
demned meat was thrown into the
Tiber and fines were devoted TO the
erection of a temple to the goddess.
The early German food laws i'm
posed penalties for violations of the
meat laws or for dishonesty on the
part of the butcher
Each country inflicted punishment
peculiar to the times and the inhabi-
tants and in early Egyptian days the
death penalty was prescribed for
priests who slaughtered an animal
that was unclean, unhealthy, defective
or uncertifed.
