SWOLLEN VEINS

often burst. Sufferers are advised to
get a two-ounce, original bottle of
Emerald Oil (full strength at any
pharmacist and start to reduce the
veins and punches at once.
Physicians recommend Emerald Oil.

small bottle will last long time, be-
cause it is very concentrated. Apply
night and morning with the soft brush
as directed until the swelling is re-
duced to normal.

vertising man, to the place on the West
ern and Atlantic railroad commission

pointment of Mr.. Massengale the gov
ernor says he has under consideration
a successor to Mr.. Hand on the board
of trustees of the State Agricultural

ond congressional district on this

VERDUN, Oct. 24.-(By Staff Cores
pondent of the Associated Press. De-
Iayed. 1.-The French today recaptured
from the German crown prince in six
hours and twenty minutes territory
northeast of Verdun which it had cost
the Germans five months of the hardest
fighting and a half million men to take
earlier this year.
The effect Of the victory was to give
the French freedom of movement
around Verdun, permitting them to pre-
pare for further advance at the same
time dealing a stunning D1ow when the
Germans thought the French striking
force was entirely assembled in the
Somme region. The victory also leaves
Fort VauX, now in German hands, per-
ilously open to attack.
Such brilliant success in so short a
time was not expected even by the most
optimistic when the order for the often
sive was given at 11:30 o'clock this
morning. For a couple of days the ar
tillery preparations by the French bat
teries had been of the most extreme Sc
verify. Monday the Germans opened
with every available battery, believing
a French attack was about to be jeliv-
cred Not a single Frenchman stirred.
French brought only feeble reply, the
Germans apparently regarding the bonn
bardment as mere demonstration. The
French infantry meanwhile stood at
arms, awaiting the order to spring for
ward Many of them had participated
in the defense of Verdun from the
opening of the great German attack in
February. All of them were most cheer
full at the prospect Of giving a blow in
stead of continually receiving one.

serters. including two officers who. I'M

" about 80 o'clock the curtain of
French shells which had pounded the
German trenches into flatness was lift

thus completely restoring the French
line held on February 25.
The German forces at Verdun are
reacting so slowly and with such APP
parently lack of strength that, in the
opinion of French military men, they
no longer possess a general reserve, but
are obliged to withdraw men from one
section of the front to reinforce an
other section in case of need.
Reports of the casualties which are
now in hand show the French losses
were very light indeed, considerably
less than the number of prisoners taken
and a large proportion of them was
of cases in which the men were slightly
wounded.
Considerable material was captured.

ODDS NOW OFFERED ON
WILSON, ADMITS HERALD
Growing Sentiment for PreSi-
dent Indicated by Story in
in Pro-HugheS Paper

A significant indication of the grow
ing sentiment for Wilson is a local
news item published Wednesday on the
front page of the New York Herald.
The Herald, to say the least is distinct
ly pro-Hughes. The item is as follows:
The betting in Wall street yesterday
on the outcome of the presidential cleo
ton was nearly all at even money.
Early in the day members of the so-'
called Waldorf crowd telephoned in
orders to New York stock exchange
houses to place $4,000 on Mr.. Wilson
at even money.
waldorf crowd" is the name given
by the financial district to a coterie
Of retired corporation men who operate
in the stock market from uptown hotels
and who had been betting heavily on
Mr. Hughes a few weeks ago, giving
odds in some cases as high as TO /.
Even money was wagered on the re-
suit OF the national election voting in
Ohio. Hughes men offered ten to eight
that Mr. Hughes will carry New York
state and some small bets were made
at that figure. A large amount Of
Wilson money on the result in this
state was reported offering at seven
to ten without takers. Even money was
wagered that Mr.. Hughes carries New
Jersey.
The Seabury people asked odds of two
to one on the result of the gubernatorial
contest in this state. The Whitman
bettors refused better odds, however
than ten to seven, and some money was
staked at the latter figures.
President Wilson was the favorite
in two bets made at Fred Schum's chop
house, in Fulton street. Brooklyn, yes
terday. One bet of 81 geo against $3.50,
and another of $500 against S475 on
the president were recorded. These
were made after a bet of $4,000 had
been made at even money.
Mr.. Schumm reported that there was
plenty of Wilson money to be had at
even money and that some of the presi-
dents hackers were offering small odds
in his favor. Mr.. Schumm has had
many Geographic inquiries from the
west and for the most part from Okla
homa, where bettors are asking the
best price they can get on President
Wilson.
