There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together. and until the last
few years doctors pronounced it to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable,
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

WHITE SLAVERY AND WAR

Just before this war we were
working ourselves up about White
Slavery" says Earle Harrison in the
July Woman's Home Companion. "The
loss of only one pure girl was given
pages of space in the newspapers. But
imagine your country attacked from
outside; put half a dozen drunken
foreign soldiers in your house, and
the loss of your own daughter will
be such small incident that nobody
will notice it-except you"

New Spirit in France
Frequently comments have been
heard epressing some establishment
and entire satisfaction at the evid-
ences of a new national spirit in
Franco spirit reflected by dignity,
earnestness, sincerely and wonderful
patience. These qualifications were
expected of Germans, hut NOT until
the war were they commonly ascribed
to the French Now Russia is COM
handing attention by reason of the
evidences of a new spirit which ami
mates her leaders and her people, and
1t is sometimes said that one Of the
comrcnsaticns for the nnormcns sacri-
fees entailed by the war is the de-
velopment of new spirit not con-
fined to the allies. but shared with
them by Germany and Austria.
The opinion commonly expressed
in business circles and in the financial
district is that the Presidential year
of 1916 is to be unique because, no
matter how great the interest in Pres
idential politics may bme, it will not,
as in other Presidential elections,
cause business to become sluggish. In
dustry and commerce are to be as ac-
tive throughout the campaign as they
were before 1t began.

SLoCUM EXoNERATED.
OF Blame in Connection with Bandits
Raid on Columbus, N NJ.

Washington, d. C., Aug Colonel II,
j. Slocum of the 18th cavalry has been
exonerated by the secretary of war of
blame in connection with Francisco
Villas raid on Columbus, n. NJ, last
March. Colonel Slocum was in command
of the American troops at Columbus, and
there has been great deal of unofficial
criticism OF the apparent circumstance
that his forces were surprised by the
Nillistas This criticism suggested neg
lect of duty on the part Of Colonel Slo-
cum. All over the country stories have
been told of this or that alleged incident
on the night of Villas raid, all tending
to show that the American troopers were
not on guard and that no precautions
had been taken TO prevent a surprise at
tack.
1t was made known at the war depart
ment that the Columbus incident had
been investigated by a special inspec
tor on the staff of Brig. Gen. Pershing.
The department made public the indorse-
ments on the inspectors report by Gen.
Pershing. Maj, Gen, Funston, command
ing the troops on the border. and
Mai. Gen. Scott, chief of the general
staff A recommendation by the chief
Of staff that Colonel Slocum be advised
that no signs rested upon his conduct,
and that he and his command are high
y commended, was approved by Secre-
tary Baker.

VIOLENT BATTLES IN EAST.
Along Front Estimated to Be Nearly
200 Miles.

London, Aug, 2.-Violent battles are
still fought by the Russians and the
Austro-Hungarian and German forces
virtually on the entire front from the
Pripet river marshes in Russia south
ward to the region OF Buczacz in Galicia
"a distance OF about 200 miles.
The Russians who have reached the
western bank OF the Stokhod river near
Stolysva and Smolary have been forced
to sustain a heavy counter attack by
German infantry, which Petrograd says
was repulsed with heavy casualties. Ber
lin asserts that in this fighting the Rus
slams are exhausting themselves in futile
attacks and that they have been thrown
back three times near Smolary. North
east of the kovel-Royno railway Berlin
claims another defeat for the Russians
near Porsk, while Vienna says that west
and northwest of Lutsk the Russian at
tacks have ceased obviously owing to
the heavy losses sustained.
In Galicia, according to petrograd, the
Russians have crossed the koropetz river
near Observation-Disclosures and organized
themselves in new positions, taking more
than 900 Austro Germans prisoners dur
ing the operations. Southwest of Bur
kanov and west of Buczacz there has
been lively fighting, but with no changes
in positions reported.
In the Caucasus the Russians have ad- |
yanced farther from Erzingan toward |
Siyas and also made progress in the di /
rection of Mozul Tha Turks, according
to Constantinople, have recaptured An

Feature Arrives.

| Barre's turn on the Community Chau-
tauqua circuit came to-day, and this

are to be represented.
On one of the days later in the week,
a long hike and picnic will be arranged

RICOCHETTING ROCK
INJURED THREE
IN QUARRY PIT
One of Men, Abil Amor, Sustained Frac-
ture of the Skull-Steam Pipe Was
Smashed and Quarry Filled
With Steam.

Three quarry workers were more or
less seriously injured this morning when
a rock, loosened from the side of the low
er quarry of f. L. Smith & Co, in Gran
| iteville, dropped into the pit where they
were working, smashing itself and other
rocks and sending the fragments show
erng over the men. Abil Amor. Span
lard. sustained fracture of the skull /;
William Murray was injured on one hip,
and Thomas Geake was badly cut about
the head and body. Others in the pit
were scratched.
The accident happened at $50 o'clock
and the cause has not been accurately
determined as yet. The rock was locat-
ed high up on the side of the quarry
and fell with great momentum as it
neared the bottom. As it ricochetted
from projection to projection it came in
contact with the steam pipe, smashing
that and thus enveoping the quarry
with steam, which added to the confusion
Immediately succeeding the accident.
There was little or no chance for the
workmen to run for safety.
As soon as possible the uniniured went
to the aid of their fellows and the latter
were subsequently taken to their homes.
DIR. G. l.. T. Hayes stated this noon that
he could not determine conclusivelv at
that time the full extent of the mans
injuries. Amor, he said had sustained
fracture of the skull and deep cut on
