reached the German trenches and no
sooner were the infantry in the Ger
man trenches than the Germans turned
the same kind of a hurricane on them
With every action the artillery seems
to become more powerful and accurate
the infantry more cunning in working in
cooperation with it and yesterday from
Ginchy south to the Somme where the
crux of the action was. the last word
in scientific. concentrated majesty and
the horror of modern warfare was repre-
scented.
Probably the British took about 1000
prisoners who reached the collecting sta
tons alive through the successive cur
in the Guillemont sector were killed. The
wounded who sought cover in she'll era
tiers were killed by another shell.
The British carried their light machine
guns forward and with these faced the
German counter-attack under cover Of
their artillery. At Mouquet farm the
Australians had to yield part of the
ground gained with the Germans at iast
accounts in possession of the farm it
self.
One of the most formidable German
counter-attacks struck southwark, try
ing to catch the British who had entered
Ginchy in the flank. GuillemOnt lost,
Ginchy became all the more vita. to the
Germans. They brought up reinforce
ments. So did the British. Amidst these
ruins with the guns of neither side dar-
ing to fire because of fear of hitting
their own men, machine guns and rifles
ratified where they could be used and
bombers worked from the cover of any
remaining trenches shell craters and piles
of mashed brick and mortar
Avators scouting for information who
looked down on the scene saw it as a
mad football scrimmage of struggling
figures.
The British still are holding fast to
the sunken road beyond Guillemont and
in a pelting rain this morning fighting
continues against Falfemont farm and
the wedge of wood where a section Of
the Prussian guard still holds out. With
out cessation German guns have kept
up a terrific volume of shell fire on
Guillemont
The army heads are gratified because
south of Ginchy to the Somme despite
immense German preparations the at
tack has been the most complete success
of any since the offensive began except
that of July IA when the British broke
the German second line.

oftener and harder ii would be better
for them and for the community. People
are very much like mules, some will plod
along taking ali the blows and kicks
those in authority, or having the oppor-
tunity feel like administering, and some
will resent imposition to the extent of
their ability (they must come of thor
oughbred stock). And even a mule must
feel certain degree of satisfaction when
by the expert use of it's weapons it makes
a prosecutor come down off the perch.
In recent question before the people
some of those who seek to convey the i'm
preston that they own the town or are
Of the elect, had good deal to say about
kickers; their definition of kickers being
apparently, people who do not think like
they do. Or to put it differently. a kicker
is one whom the commentator does not
approve of or agree with.
AS for me, remembering Beck, and my
early days. my hat is off to the kickers.
If 1 keep out of the reach of their heels
or don't give them cause to kick, they
won't kick me-
There is a story which everybody has
heard, as they have heard all the Jokes
worth telling which goes this way; A
shoemaker had son who remarked one
day in spring Paw, they say the trout
is biting mighty well down in the crick
We'll, son. you tend to your, own bust
ness and they won't bite you"
Sometimes 1t Is the business of citi-
zen to kick, and to kick hard as is pos
sible in the interest of the community
Here's to such an one, and may he kick
so effectively as to knock the bark off,
and make the object of his aim get off
the high places and down to the level
of common sense.
When that is done the objector to the
kickers may become better and more
useful citizen.

To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affliction
can be successfully treated at home by
an internal remedy that in many in
after all else has failed Sufferers who
could scarcely hear watch tick have
had their hearing restored to such an
extent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear.
Therefore, If you know someone who
is troubled with head noises or ca
tarrh,' or catarrhal deafness, cut out this
formula and hand to them, and you will
have been the means OF saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be prepared
at home. and is made as follows:
mint Double Strength, about 75c
worth. Take this home and add to it
Il pint of hot water and ozs. Of gran
ulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times a day:
The. first dose should begin to relieve
dullness, cloudy thinking. etc.. while
the hearing rapidly returns as the sys-
tenn is invigorated by the tonic action
Of the treatment. Loss of smell and
mucus dropping In the back Of the
throat, are other symptoms that show
which are often entirely overcome by
this efficacious treatment Nearly
ninety per cent OF all ear troubles are
said to be directly caused by catarrh
therefore, there must be many people
whose hearing can be restored by this
ir'n ME home treatment.
Every person who is troubled with
head noises, catarrhal deafness or ca
tarrh in any form, should give this pre-
scription trial.

nowhere? 1t seems to me that in the
case of a mani would rather say of a
spirit-like Lincoln the question where
he was is of little significance. that it is
always what he was that really arrests
agination. 1t is the spirit always that is
sovereign. Lincoln, like the rest of us,
was put through the discipline of the
world-a very rough and exacting discip-
line for him, an indispensable discipline
for every man who would know what he
is about in the midst of the worlds at
ing there. 1t did not derive it's character
or its vision from the experiences which
brought 1t to it's full revelation. The test
of every American must always be. not
where he is. but what he is. That, also,
is of the essence of democracy, and is
the moral of which place is most gravely
expressive.

Lincoln and Washington as typical
