mer German consul at Denver, explained
the lay OF the surrounding country. We
also visited the headquarters OF Gen.
Bernhard, who is commanding an army
on this front, but he was suffering from
influenza and unable to receive us.
The night scene at the front was en-
trancing. The sky was lit by countless
great fires, about which the companies
were encamped, within a few hundred
yards OF the Russian positions. The
bands played and the soldiers sang. Not
a single shot was fred. There is night
ly truce. The Russians occasionally
shoot light cartridges to illuminate the
fields between the trenches and prevent
surprise attack. Far off in the dis.
lance an Austrian battery was pounding
the Russian railroads
The new armies on this front are com
posed of Polish German and Austro-
Hungarian troops which, officers said, H.
lustrates the new spirit of comradeship
and is sure indication of the strength
of the central powers.

The shifting of Canadian regiments
from the Ypres salient to the Somme re-
gion on the western front means un-
doubtedly that we shall hear of some i'm
portant fighting and considerable gains
by the British troops in the vicinity OF
the Somme. 1t means also that great
many Americans will see some Of the
fiercest fighting of the whole war, as the
Canadian troops have large quotas of
Americans who either went into Canada
for the express purpose of enlisting or
who took up arms while temporarily So
journing in the dominion.

PUBLICITY AS AID TO AGRICuL.
TURE

The newspapers OF Vermont are max
ing the COW testing associations and the
county farm agent associations amount
to something If it was not for the pub
LEFTY given to both these organizations,
their good works would be known TO
only a very few people. The time is
coming when the government will make
a special appropriation for this publicity,
which il should do.-Waterbury Record.
There is no doubt there is strong ele'
ment of truth in what the contemporary
says about the efficacy of publicity in
furthering the work of the county farm
bureaus, cow.testing associations and
similar organizations now holding a
place in the agricultural life of Vermont,
The newspapers are giving a great deal
of space each week, oftentmes each day,
to the end that the aims of the several
organizations may be set before the pub
lie more generally than would be possible
under any other method, and far more
expeditiousIy, too. This space is not
grudgingly given because the newspapers
know that anything of that nature tends
to build up the sections in which they
are located, and the building up Of the
agricultural interests is one OF the pur
poses OF the press. That the service is
appreciated by those who are directly
concerned with the work of the farm
bureaus, cowtesting associations and
similar organizations goes without say
ING. else they would not use the space
put to their disposal each week.

Girls With Beautiful Faces
or Graceful Figures

American girls have n worldwide
reputation for beauty, but. at the same
tirne. there are girls in our cities who
possess neither beauty of face nor
form, because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness. the result of
disorders of the womanly organism.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them ;
they arc so prostrated that IL takes days
for them TO recover their strength. OF
course, such periodic distress has its
bad effect on the nervous system. The
withered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the eyes,
the straight figure without those
curves which lend so much 10 feminine
beauty are the unmistakable signs of
womanly disorders.
When n girl becomes n woman, when
woman becomes mother, when a
woman passes through the changes of
riddle life. are the three periods of
life when health and strength arc most
needed TO withstand the pain and
distress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
AZ these critical times women are
hest fortified by the use of DIR: Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the entire
