Germany. France, Italy and Russia in
terprcts the word enemy as Il person
of enemy origin or interest. English
and American precedents put the en-

British subjects have considered they

CAPTURE OF POZIEnEs


LONDON, July o6.-The CAPTURE Of
Pozieres by the British on the western
front. the taking of Erzingan. in Ar
menia. by the Russians, and the cap
ture by the Cars forces. under Gem
eral Sakharoff Of 1000 prisoners on
the Slonevl>; River in the eastern
lighting. are features Of to-day's war
news.
The British Secretary for War David
Lloyd George. in a published statement
Tonight. shows the Importance the
Germans attached TO the retention OF
Pozieres by quoting from German
divisional order issued in Contalmaison
on July II. as follows:
Furthermore, the conversion OF VII
lagos into strong points is OF the
greatest Importance. Such villages are
Fozieres. Contalmaison and the two.
Bezantine and I.ongueval."
Secretary Lloyd George points out
that with tho capture OF Pozicrcs the
last OF these villages has fallen into
the allies hands. He further points
out that to-day's German claim OF the
repulse Of an attack on Troncs wood
must be clerical error. as Trones
woods has been in British possession
since July IA.
STRONGEST POSITIONS
ALREADY CAPTURED
The opinion of the military critics
in London is that no positions so strong
as the British are now successfully
ttacking will be found between
Ponieres and Bapaume, otherwise they
argue, the Germans would not have
risked bringing troops and guns from
the Ncrdun sector 10 defend PoZieres,
and II is inferred from indications in
the Official dispatches that the Brit
sh arc already beginning 10 cstab-
lish themselves on both sides OF the
road from Pozieres 10 Bapaume.
AS OIL the western front. the Ger
mans and Austrians appear unable to
make successful stand anywhere
against the victorious Russian forces.

NOTHING WRINKLES
FADES OR SHRINKS
Women save S. In an hour by dry
cleaning everything with
gasoline.

Dry cleaning at home is all the rage
here, says a well-known downtown
druggist. Any woman can do five dol
lars worth of dry cleaning at home
at very little cost by diss diving two
ounces of solvite in two gallons of
gasoline; then immerse the articles to
be cleaned; rub a little and in a few
moments the gasoline evaporates and
the articles cleaned look as bright and
fresh as new.
Dry clean your own silk waists,
dresses, ribbons, belts, kid gloves,
satin shoes, evening slippers, fine
laces, net work, woolens, dresses, chill
dren's coats, furs, wells, neckties,
shawls, gentlemen's garments, fancy
vests, lace curtains, rugs, in fact,
everything that would be ruined by
washing with soap and water. Moth
ing will fade, shrink or wrinkle, max
ing pressing unnecessary.
Dry cleaning at home is inexpensive
and effects a tremendous saving in the
household and is really just as easy as
laundering. Any druggist will sell
two ounces of solvite which is simply a
gasoline soap and your grocer or a
garage will supply the gasoline. Then
a wash boiler or dishpan completes the
outfit.
AS gasoline is very inflammable, be
sure to do your dry cleaning out of
doors or in a room away from fire or
flame, with the windows left OPEN

FOODS
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat
Copyright 1916. by W. McCann)

the results of the examination, as tab
ulated by him for the department,
stated: zone hundred and twenty
three were found to have defective di-
gestion. Eabitual constipation was
found in the majority of these. Con-
stipation was by no means confined to
the women. A great number of young
men lin spite of their highly polished
shoes, clean-shaven faces, and bright
necllties) suffered from this condition,
which, If allowed to go uninterrupted,
has baneful ultimate effects upon the
blood vessels. kidneys, heart and ner-
vous SYSTEM
In addition to constipation, the
cause of 100 other preventable ills, DR..
Slade found nearly so per cent. of the
entire number to be suffering from de-
fective vision, defective hearing and
defective teeth.
Ninety Two of the 696 employees ex-
amined had heart disease. Many of
these had valvular leakage, of which
they were entirely ignorant They
had not died as infants, but here they
were looking like healthy creatures,
with the forces of destruction working
unseen and unsuspected within.
Others, especially very young men
with consultation and nervousness, had
dilated left ventricles with unstable
fine, healthy, average looking lot from
the outside and would justify the COM
forting expression of the average COM
mentator upon the long. over-flatter
ed American public health: I'VE are
the best fed nation in the world"
If it were not for the fact that such
deception has inspired nearly every
body TO be satisfied with the wonder
full health of Americans these symp-
toms would long ago have been in
terpreted in their true significance and
an honest effort made to provide
against them. Self-hattery has blinded
the nation.
OF the 696 employees thirty-on had
some form of lung disease; 232, or eX-
actly one-third. were in obvious need
of medical advice; 172. or nearly one
fourth, were in actual need of treat
ment.
The number who needed advice or
treatment or both was S27-44 per
cent.
The noble diet of the American peo-
pie had not saved these A per cent.
from their infirmities. even though
they had not been included among
the nearly 100000 who every year, as
little children, succumb to an untime-
ly death.
Commenting on this fact, DIR. Slade
stated: "Forty-four per cent. of those
examined had, without their knowl-
edge, some vital physical defect which
might have shortened their life by n
number of years if undetected. Those
in whom we discovered actual signs
of disease amounted to 213, or nearly
one-third of the entire number"
There was not much reason for
self-fattery here, but as we advance
toward the end we shall discover still
less.
