Physician Believes Genuine Rem

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by Clark & Brainerd Co.

more lasting relief than other reme-
dies costing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poison

thrown off in a natural, healthy way.

says about Rheuma: II have made a

mend it as a remedy for all forms Of
rheumatism. find Rheuma far in ad-

This morning Constable Cornelius

routed from the saloons in the vicin-

German Guard Regiments

With the French Armies in France.
July 21.-(By l'he Associated Press.)
The fifth Division of the German

bodies lie on the ground and the Ger

trench. cannot advance or retire.
The cannonade today was most in
tense, and the French, who are in a
position to observe all movements of
the enemy. smothered with shells sew

sembie troops In this vicinity for fur
Their operations.
Numbers of prisoners belonging to
the famous Guard regiments were TAX
en-. From them it was learned that
the attack had been arranged for sew
eral days previously, but the Crown
Prince decided to await the arrival Of
special units of shock troops before
making the assault. A model of the
French defensive system has been con-
structed behind the German lines and
the troops destined for the attack were
instructed there before making the
assault. They met their masters in the
shape of stolid and hard fighting regi-
nents from Touraine, which held the
position.
All through Thursday night and
friday hand to hand fighting proceed
ed with grenades and bayonets until
the exhausted Germans were compell-
ed to seek shelter in shell craters and
shattered trenches of the front for

cannot move or see, being under con-
slant machine gun and artillery fire of
dominating French batteries and they
still remain on the wrong side of the
crest. The few yards they gained are
being reconquered gradually by the
French.

SUPREME HOUR
War Should Not Cause
Mission Curtailment
Time for Undertaking New and Daring
Enterprises for Christ and Church
Says Committee Of Mission Boards

Boston, July 22.-That the war, in
stead of causing curtailment OF for

garded as offering "the supreme hour
for undertaking new and daring en-
terprises for Christ and the church"
was the message which the commit
tee of reference and counsel, repre-
senting the foreign mission boards of
all North America sent to the several
boards today.

the committee. explained that some
mission boards were in favor of cur
tailment Of the mission work, which
costs more than $20,O0O,000 a year.
pleading that the government should
now command all resources of men and
money, but DR.. Barton said that the
committee had drawn up it's statement
'nder the title challenge of the war
to foreign Missions" The statement
pointed out that the large missionary
enterprises had their origin in times
of the greatest national and interna-
tional upheaval' and that today the
great majority of heather peoples were
more accessible and even more eager
for Christian instruction than ever
before in the history of modern mis-
sions."
The fact that the work of more than
1000 Teuton missionaries among some
100000 Christians in pagan lands has
iecome disrupted by the war was en-
Dhasized as one of the factors which
made 1T necessary ito regard no eff
fort to exhausting ga no sacrifice too
great for the fullest vitalization of all
missionary agencies and for the COM
pletest possible mobilization of the
forces of the Christian church for the
