Allies Take 10000 Prisoners

London, July 3.-All through
the night the great British and
French offensive which began
Saturday morning in the Somme
and Ancre sectors continued
with intensity and there was no
dlmlnution IN the battle on Sun
day. Both British and French
War Offices report a steady ad-
vance at certain points, but
speak also of the formidable
German resistance.
Frlcourt. an important town,
three miles east of Albert, has
fallen to the British arms, while
the French have taken Curlu,
which lies to the southeast. The
lighting at the Southern end of
the British line, where it is in
contact with the French, is of
the fiercest nature tremendous
artillery actions preceding all the
infantry attacks.
The French have taken 5000
prisoners, according to the latest
estimates, while the British.
though reporting the capture of
$500 later declared that the esti.
mates were too low. Owing to
the nature of the battle, it is not
doubted that the casualties are
very high.
Notwithstanding the terrific
offensive against them in the
Somme River region, the Ger
mans have not ceased in their
efforts around Verdun. They
have bombarded several of the
Verdun sectors and have launch
ed infantry attacks against the
French trenches. While Berlin
declares that the French attacks
against the famous Thiaumont
work were repulsed by curtains
of fire the French War Office
announces that this strategic DO
sltion has been re captured bv
the French forces and is held bv
them.

What to Do for Prickiy Heat

Nearly everv infant, as well
as adult, suffers from prickly heat
in summer. Prickly heat is an
acute engagement of sweat
glands with obstruction at their
outlet. This is caused by heat,
either from too much clothing
or by the hot weather of summer.
1t is a sure sign that the child has
been kept too warm. Avoid
heavy clothing and flannels.
The clothing should be light in
weight and Of loose texture.
The application of cool water,
either by tub bath or sponging,
affords relief. A sponge bath of
one tablespoon of soda to a gal
lon of water is helpful. Oint-
ments and salves are of little SER
vice. Powders are preferred to
lotions. A powder made of
equal parts of boracic acid and
powdered oxide of zinc, if so de-
sired, is splendid when busted
freely over the itching, bu rning
surface several times a day, ev-
erv hour if necessary.-Exchaege
