WORLD NEWS IN BRIEF
PARAGRAPHS
War News.

Asiatic Turkey is the only war the
ater where infantry actions of any
great importance are reported. On the
line in France and Belgium and in the
Austro-Italian theater there have been
minor engagements. On the Russian
front bombardments alone are in
progress.
The region of LIE Mort Homme,
northwest of Verdun, again is under
heavy bombardment, while east of the
Meuse an intermittent cannonading is
in progress. No infantry attacks have
been attempted.
About 500 yards of British trenches
In the region of Vermelles were cap
tured by the Germans the other night,
but later the British in counter at
tack took back a portion of their lost
ground, according to the British Off
cial communication.

After violent artillery preparation,
the Germans assumed the offensive
against the Russians in the sector.

gion of Jacobstadt. Failing to obtain
any result, after further lombard
ment, they resumed the action.

The infantry movements in the re-
gion of Verdun have again given way
to artillery bombardments, the most
violent of which was directed against
the French positions in the Caillette
wood and their second lines on the
right bank of the Meuse. Bombard-
ments also have taken place along the
front held by the Belgians and mining
operations and artillery duels have
predominated on the British front.
Constantinople reports that in the
Caucasus region around Mont Hope
the Turks in an attack drove out the
Russians from positions about nine
and half miles in extent and forced
them to. retreat eastward.

On the western front in France, not
ably in the region of Verdun, which
for weeks has been the theater of the
most sanguinary conflicts of the world
war, comparative calm prevails. The
French, however, have been able to
capture portions of German trench
on the west slopes of LIE Mort Homme
and to put at naught German attack
near Hill No. 287, between the wood
of Malancourt and lie Mort Homme,
launched in an endeavor to advance
further the German line toward Yer

best dark fisher that North
America ever produced could be
bought for $1,000. Last season
$1,000 was paid for the large
dark skins. The best collection
of red fox was sold for $500 on
the average. Today the same
collection of red fox would
bring $500 to $1,000. White
Weasel we paid nothing for be-
cause there was no market for
them. To-day they bring 75c to
$3.50. Otter, one could buy the
best the earth produced at $500
and $500. To-day we pay $4,000
to $4,000 for inland caught
skins. Would you think it pos
sible to buy the best silver fox
that was ever trapped for $85?
That was the price. Intakes a
small fortune to buy it now. The
cause of this tremendous adj
vance in the value Of North
American raw furs is the keen
competition created by the we'll
known circular houses. One
would think that this wonderful
advance in value would drive the
consumer of furs out of the
market and prohibit the sale OF
manufactured goods. but with
North America prosperous and
furs so extremely fashionable ii
will be some time before we will
see lower prices and during this
winter many fur-bearers vii
bring advanced prices over las,
season.

THE ART OF DOING WITHOUT

AS time goes by the virtue of
self denial is more and more ap-
parent, and the art of doing
without more needed. The
social facinations of today, the
craze for dress, amusement, rec
reation, automohiling-all the
glitter and attractions of a ma
terialistic age-call loudly for
self control, self denial and care
full living. And those who try
to keep pace with the crowd set
a pace that kills.
No man ever succeeds who does
not learn to do without. The
very basis of religion, of good
conduct, or good character lies in
the virtue of self control. 1t is
the highest evidence of self
mastery and the foundation of
all social and business success.
Did you ever stop to watch a
crowd around a street fakir sell
ling some article of household
use-a potato peeler, for in

men that their wives could not
peel potatoes without it, found
ready purchasers, who laid down
their quarters, marched home

MILLIONS WILL BE PAID TO
TRAPPERS AND FUR SHIP
PERS THIS WINTER

Furs are extremely fashionable
and woman's wardrobe is not
complete without one or more
sets of furs. Even in mild eli
mates, there are larger quantities
of fur overcoats being sold to
gentlemen.
The present prices of Ameri-
can raw furs as compared with
the prlces Of few years ago,
make pleasant reading for the
old trapper and fur collector,
but to the tenderfoot in the fur
game it seems like an impossible
story and if the "old timers"
didn't know the facts to be true,
they would say, Tell it to the
marines" Why it was only a
few years ago that one could buy
all the muskrats in western Can
ada at &c a piece, and they sold
as low as 4 cents. Winter and
spring collections last season
brought 40c to SOC. The entire
collection of northwestern skunk
could be bought at S1.O0 to $1.50
for No. / large prime black.

We listen to argument. We.

than buying a lot of things you
will be sorry for.
Doing without may be difficult
at times, but it gets you some

are built upon it. Saving money
and doing without is a painful
process, but ~ the results are
mighty pleasant. Sacrifice was
never easy and self denial never

1t is a splendid achievement
this doing without and few learn
it. But the structure it builds
is a lasting one and beautiful.
And the pitiful fact is that if
you do not learn to do without
now, there may come time
when you have to do without,
and then it will be too late.
That is the lesson of the poor
house and the bread line. And
rs sure as you practice the sin
Of self qualification and ignore
the virtue of self control, listen
to the lure of the shop window,
the amusement column, the ap-
peal that is on every hand to
spend, and let yourself go, you
too will join a crowd that is
sliding down hill to nowhere,
only to get a hard bump at the
bottom, when it is too late to
mend and wake up to vain re-
grets. Get the thrift habit now
and thrift is just doing with

The Standard Remedy
IL Countless Homes
Relieves sonstipation Easily Without
Gripping or discomfort.


Indigestion and constipation are
two conditions that are closely relat-
ed and the cause of much physical
suffering.
The tendency to indulge ones appe.
tite is more or less general and most
people suffer at one time or another
from rebellion of the overtaxed or
gans Of digestion and elimination. A
pleasantly effective remedy, that will
quickly relieve the congestion of poi
sOnOus stomach waste and restore
regularity, is the compound Of simple
laxative herbs sold in drug stores for
fifty cents bottle under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This is
a mild, pleasant laxative tonic, free
from opiates or narcotic drugs, and
has been the standard household rem.
edy in thousands OF homes for many
years.
Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill, Wis.,
writing to DR.. Caldwell, says, she
knows of nothing so effective for reg.
ulating the stomach and bowels; since
taking DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
she feels ten years younger; her work
seems easier and she has regained her
appetite.
