With the French Armies Near Com.
bles, Sept. 29.-Horses, dashed into o
furious gallup by mad riders dashing
forward over sunken road with huge
quantities of ammunition; aeroplanes,
lowering above vulture-like awaiting
the fall of Combles; men, sweating,
fighting their way forward over shell.
pocked roads in terrible shell fire
These were some of the dramatic
scenes that preceded the capture of the
strongly fortified village that had block
ed the allied advance north of the
Somme.
The eventual capture of Combles be-
came certainty on Tuesday morning
when French cavalry patrols advanc'
ing southeastward met eastward of
Combles. They thus completely encircled
the village, cutting off the last com
munications with the German army in
the rear.
On the same morning approached
Combles from the west, starting from
Maricourt, the junction point from
which the French and English often
sive was launched July l and traversing
each successive step in the advance

over a larger and better school than
ever. The new heating plant, ordered
some time ago has been installed and
from the pleased reports of those who
have seen it, we infer that the children
will not miss the summer sun very
much after all.

ed to Lincoln county for weeks va

soon see the trophies OF the hunt deco

Unfortunately for Macleay but for
tunately for Aumsville, Julius Jasmel
and family have departed for the last
mentioned town, near which they vii
make their home.
Old timers this year will have plenty
of opportunity to say st never hap

munity of Bethel the threshers whistle
is only now being heard.
Sunday school will be held regularl,

Church services were held last Sun
day, conducted by Mr.. Lowell, who il
an energetic, wide awake man of thu

emphasizes the fact, in his sermons

A Famous Physicians
Wonderful Discovery

After series Of careful experiment
and tests at the Invalid's Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, Gov
ering many years-Dr. Pierce, the medi-
cal director of that hospital made an
nouncement that he could prove that a
medicine which he called "ANURIC"
was the best uric acid solvent now TO
be had. As remedy for those easily
recognized symptoms OF inflammation
as scalding urine, backache and fre-
quent urination, as well as sediment in
the urine, or if uric acid in the blood
has caused rheumatism, lumbago, sci
atica, grout, it is simply wonderful how
quickly "Anuric " acts; causing the
pains and stiffness rapidly to disappear
Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the

1t is just as necessary to keep the

solved with the food, picked up by the
blood and finally reaches the kidneys,
where it has a tonic effect in rebuilding
those organs.
Step into the drug store and ask for a
50-cent package Of "Anuric," or send

many times more potent than lithia,
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial viii convince you.

Itching Torture Stops

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and SIM
liar skin troubles. A little zemo, gotten
at any drug store for 25c, or $1.00 for

will usually give instant relief from itch
ing torture. 1t cleanses and soothes the
skin and heals quickly and effectively
most skin diseases.
Zemo is wonderful disappearing liquid

A. Schmidt came before Judge Willis
today to be sentenced to life impris-

His grounds were technical, the prin-
cipal one being that the jury was i'm
paneled in violation of the law which
excluded property owners from duty
in cases where prejudice exists.
The arguments seemed likely to
last some time. If Willis refuses
new trial, the case will be appealed

elbow. He appeared quietly confident
and very much at ease.
