At recent meeting of mothers
club the head of the health committee
made some startling statements in
comparing the death rate from causes
due to preventable disease to the NOR
ality in the great European war.
She showed that the great majority
of human ailments are due either to
unwise eating or to incomplete elimi-
nation of wastes, and urged that moth
ers should watch their children and
see to it that they did not violate the
laws of health.
She called special attention to the
value of castor oil as natue's remedy
for constipation. The healing proper
ties of castor oil are universally rec
ognized and it doesn't form a habit.
The distasteful features of castor
oil have all been eliminated from

LIQUID FIRE
[continued From Page one.1


Germans concentrated terrific fire
against the French positions.
Fighting over a thirteen-mile front
northwest and northeast of Verdun
has now been continuous for several
days, the Germans driving assault
after assault in an effort to weaken
the French line.
Guns Pound Away.
When the Teuton artillery was not
being thrown against the French line,
the German guns were pounding away
but the resistance of the French has
proved equal to the emergency. To the
west of the Mouse the German attacks
were made against the eastern side of
the modified salient, which is repre-
scented by Hill No. 304. Despite Ger
man claims, the French still hold
the crest of the much disputed Dead
Mans hill.
The trenches which the Germans
captured on Mill No. 295, are nearly
half a mile from the summit of LIE
Morte Homme.
French military critics expressed
the belief that. there is little doubt
that the real offensive began against
the the French positions are Verdun
on Sunday. The assaults which fol
low have been under way since Sat
urday, it is believed, may be regarded
/ as the final drive.
