French Report Further Progress
DESPITE German Attack.
<3@@@@%%>%&>

London, Aug. 11.-Frrther progress
for the IFFencn troops north of Hem
-wuod in the Somme sector is announc-
ed in an official statement issued by
the Paris war office.
Rain and mist have impeded the op-
erations north of the Somme. South
of the river a German reconnaissance
using liquid fire was dispersed by the
French infantry fire, west OF Verman'
dovillers. Only intermittent cannon
aiding in the neighborhood of Fleury,
Vaux and Chapitre is reported from
the Verdun front.
FIFTEEN battles in the air occurred
on the Somme front. One German
aeroplane is reported to have been
destroyed and two forced to escend
inside the French lines. French ma
chimes dropped 413 bombs on various
railroad stations.
In the advance eastward the Joint
allied drive is making slow but con-
slant progress. Both the French and
British are advancing here, where
Combles is the objective. Guillemont
is now menaced from three sides and
cannot hold out much longer.
Further south the French are
Strengthening their line north of Clery
and, having cleared most of the Hem
wood, are preparing for a new ad
vance. This attack threatens to flank
Combles on the south.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the EuStachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
