Russians Capture Whole Sdipa Line;
AuStrians Retreat TO Avoid Defeat

London-The whole line of the River
Stripa in Galicia was seized by the
Russians Sunday. The army of Cen
eral Won Bothmer, after holding its
strongly fortified position ever since
last winter, was compelled by the
powerful pressure Of the Russians
north and south to fall back hastily
toward the west. The Austrians are
probably entrenched behind the Zlota
Lipa river, prepared to make last
stand before they retreat to positions
before Lemberg.
1t was the menace to his TANKS and
rear, rather than any frontal move
ment, which caused Won Bothmer tC
surrender the line along the Stripa,
which for seven weeks had been sub
jected to the most violent Russian at
tacks. b.,
Generals Sakharoff on the north ant
Letchitsky on the south had gradually
closed in upon the Austrian wings,

THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY in CHEMISTRY

This is O recent discovery Of Doctor
Pierce, who is head Of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce'a
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms Of infam.
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi.
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it Ia
simply wonderful how surely oAnuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
80 frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package OF
uAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for q
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him
sample Of your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist
will examine it,, then DR.. Pierce will
report to you, without fee or charge.
1NoTE: - French scientists affirm that
vAnuric" is thirty -seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases-as vAnuric"
thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
Is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

Britons Want More Paw.

London-The British railway unions

10 shillings week in the wages of all

necessary to meet the higher cost of
living. The decision has caused sur

into last October, small wage in
