The Great Worldwide War.

Stirring events have taken place du-
ring the past week in the fighting zone
of the grert world war.
The Germans brought overwhelming
forces to the help of the Austrians
along the Italian battle line, with the re-
suit that the Italians were driven back
from the line of mountains they had
taken from Austria, and are said to
have lost more than 200, 900 prisoners.
The Italians have 5000, 900 soldiers,
and they are reported to be well organ
lied and confident of stopping the Ger
man advnce, as France and England
are now joining them with heavy rein
forcements of men. guns and NUM-
tons.
The Maximalists or peace party in
Russia are reported to have overthrow
the Kerensky government at Petrograd
and taken possession of government
machinery in that city with the inten-
ton of treating for separate peace.
A hopeful expression from London says
the Russian diplomats claim that ker-
ensky was early advised of the inten-
tons of Nikolai Lenine to grasp power,
and he has removed the seat of govern
ment to Moscow, and from there viii
endeavor to unite the moderates against
the Maximalists, and also to rally the
Cossacks and such other troops as favor
the provisional government.
The U. S. troops in France under
Gen. Pershing received their first bap,
tism of fire this week. An advanced
post of 18 or 20 men at an exposed
point were caught ia barrage of shell
fire, three being killed, five wounded
and twelve taken prisoners. Gen. Per
shing is now thought to have more thar
200, 900 men with him.
The French and English along tn,
frontiers of France and Belgium con
tinue steadily to make gains, and pusl
the Germans back hundred yards o.
two or a mile or so almost every day.

To Red Cross Workers.

Read the little verse attached, written
by Amelia Josephine Burr, in The
Churchman:
'Interminable fold Of gauze
For those whom we shall never see
Remember when your fingers pause
That every drop of blood to stain
This wniteness falls for you and me
Part of the price that keeps US free
To serve our own. that keeps Us clean
From shame that other women know
o. Savior! we have never seen!
Forgive US that we are so slow!
God-if that blood should cry in vain
And we have let our moment go!''

came up from Camp Besuregard last
Sunday at $3.50 pm. and addressed an
audience of Colfax citizens at the court

work of that organization. No eontri-

the Importance of the work to be done,
and for which there is now a special
drive being made in the Alexandra dis
trict to raise its quota of the $500, 900
the State of Louisiana will raise for
this purpose.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen q. tender corn
or callus 90 II lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
are now told by a Cincinnati authority
to use drug called freezone, which
the moment few drops are applied
to any corn or callus the soreness is re-
ieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts of with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but viii posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
It at any wholesale drug house for you.

TRY I'll SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAL0MEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
suits, said q prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or consti-
pated bowels. It doesn't grippe or
cause Inconvenience all the next
lay like violent calomel.

To the Good Women of Grant Parish

To the Good Women of Grant Parish.
On October II, 1917, the regis
tration of women and the sign
ing of Food Pledge cards in Grant
parish made a very creditable
showing for the short campaign
the women had to work in. 1t
seems, however, the registration
and the signing of Food Pledge
cards was by no means complete.
A letter from Hon. Jno. M.
Parker, in charge of food admin
istration in Louisiana. which is
published in this weeks issue of
the Colfax Chronicle, strongly
urges that the signing of food
pledge cards be vigorously push
ed in order to sign up the full
quota for this parish. He says
that while the 1865 pledge cards
sent in is a very fine start, the
work is by no means complete,
as the u. S. government esti-
mates that there are 4789 women
over 16 years of age in Grant
that are eligible to sign the
pledge cards.
1t seems therefore that some
thing less than one-half of those
who should have signed the
pledge cards have been secured.
In view of the fact that the la
dies in charge of the registra-
ton of women in Grant parish
have a campaign now in progress
which will last until Nov. Is, to
secure all the registration they
can get of women 16 years of
age and upward, we would re-
specially request and urge that
they also be furnished with a
supply of the pledge cards, and
and that all who apply for regis
also be asked to sign the food
pledges. Let every woman over
16 years of age sign the pledge
cards, whether mother. daughter
or grandmother, and all Of one
family, let the women of the
whole family sign. There is no
limit from 16 years upward. Let
US see if we cannot make up our
full quota in this good work and
maintain the credit of Grant par
ish for jealous patriotism.
The ladies in charge Of wo-
mems registration are therefore
specially asked to stress the sign
ing of food pledge cards, which
are being mailed out to them
with the request that they get
all to sign that they can, and dis
tribute them to their workers
and ask them for all the assist
ance they can give in the securing
of signers.
1t will be observed that the
pledge cards are already address.
ed and the postage on them is
paid by the government. Nc
stamps are required, and all you
have to do is to put them in the
postoffice when they are properly
filled out and signed.
\ Please make a regular canvass
and secure all the signers posi-.
BILE, and report to me the number
obtained at each precinct.

TRACK EVENTS A BIG
 FEATURE AT THE FAIR

The race meeting at Phoenix, Ari- zona, November 18th to 17th inclus- i've, gives every promise of being one of the very best, from a racing view point, held in the United States this year. The reputation of its equable climate and perfect race course has created widespread interest. The splendid purses and stakes offered, and reports of the cordial welcome ex- tended to visiting horsemen and their friends, have also had a wholesome effect. Many of the leading horse owners of Kentucky and the far East ern states have signified their inten- tion of sending some of their best trotters and pacers there. in charge of the most famous reinsmen in the United States, to compete in the rac- es and also get time records for their fastest horses. Horsemen from Ore gon, Washington, California and Can ada will also assemble there with the best horses that have appeared on the Pacific Coast this year, and with their Eastern brethren will form an aggre- gation that has never been known in the history of light harness racing be- fore.-The Breeder and Sportsman.
