mics defending Bucharest appears in
creasingly critical. Only to the north
west OF the capital do the Rumanian
lines seem holding firmly.
On the southwest there is imminent
peril of an enveloping movement of
the central powers who are forty miles
from Bucharest. A German official
statement declares the retreat of the
Rumanians toward the nearer defenses
OF the capital is precipitate.
The disorderly retirement of the
Rumanians along the entire Walla-

DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE 2

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
OF anything. You are likely to be
despondent and to borrow trouble,
just as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be a victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hood 5
Sarsaparila, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds NJ
the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
combination of roots, barks and
herbs. No other medicine acts like
1t, because no other medicine has the
same formula or ingredients. Accept
no substitute, but insist on having
Hoods, and get it today.
