Shells Precede Attack.

In the Vaux-Chapitre woods the
Germans preceded their attack by a
heavy bombardment, but their efforts
to advance were frustrated by the
machine gun fire and rifle fire of the
French.
Three German aeroplanes were said

Somme front and two captive balloons
destroyed.
Further successes for the Russians
along the Sereth and Graberka rivers

The Russians captured strongly
fortified positions in the region of the
villages of Svevygen, Kostiniec and

tions of the trench which had been
taken by the British near Pozeres, on

London, Aug. 8.-A description of
how the Turks were drawn into trap
at Romani by British cavalry is given
in a Cairo dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company. The dispatch
says the cavalry was sent out to en-
tice the enemy, who had shown dis
position to assume the offensive.
The British horsemen fought an ad-
mirable rear guard action, says the
dispatch, drawing on the Turks until
their flanks were turned by the
mounted division.
A whole brigade was compelled to
surrender.
Among the prisoners were 70 Ger
mans, including 36 officers.
A complete battery of German guns
was also taken.

But he has right to talk, as no
medicine has ever helped any
one as much as Tanlac has help
ed him. He really does not look
like the same man.. Here Is
Mr.. MeGavock's statement:
Il have now taken five bottles
of Tanlae and have gained thirty
pounds. If you don't believe it,

me. | was also nervous and

ing down hill and losing weight
along, and nothing did me any
good until Smiser, the druggist,
told me about Tanlac.
II tried it on his recommend
alton and it helped me from the
first few doses. The medicine
seemed to take hold right at
once, and l began to eat better,
sleep better and feel better right
from the start. If anybody
wants to know what | think of
Tanlac, just tell them to come
and see me. | am right here in
Columbia. Tanlac has simply
made a new man of me and | ex-
pect to tell all my friends about
what it has done in my case"
Referring to the above state
ment, G.. F. Willis, Southern dis
tributor of Tanlac, said:
\ ''Tanlac is without exception
the greatest medicine OF its kind
on the American market today.
The extreme popularity of Tan
lac can only be accounted for by
the extraordinary merit of the
medicine. The system, besides
being purified, is toned up and in
vigorated, as the preparation
aside from its cleansing the
blood, revitalizes the constitu-
ltion, overcoming, as it quickly
seems to do, nervousness, indi-
gestion, non-assimilation of the
food, headaches, dizziness and
other troubles that are so COM
mon"
