paper makers and publishers gave
the federal trade commission their
views today on a proposal of a group
of manufacturers that the commits

No decision was reached and the con-

NEURALGIA AND SclATIGh

The one symptom OF neuralgia is
pain and it is unmistakable.
In large proportion OF cases anemla
and debility are responsible for neural
gia, particularly IN women. To remedy
the neuralgia condition it is necessary
to build up the blood and improve the
general health and for this purpose
there is nothing better nor more con-
venient than DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Sciatica is nothing more than neu-
ralgia of the sciatic nerve.
II you have neuralgia or sciatic pains
do not go to great expense for treat
ment until you have tried building up
the blood. If you are pale the chances
are very strong that the treatment with
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are ell that
you will require. Hot applications and
liniments may be used at the same
time if you desire. They may relieve
the pain and temporary relief is the
best you can expect from them anyway.
The pain in the nerve is caused by
nerve starvation. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills give to the blood the elements
that the nerves need. They contain no
narcotics and are not pain killers.
They remove the cause of the pain.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
your own druggist or will be sent by
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Scben-
ectady, N. Y. Price 30 cents.

Whence Khaki Came.

1t appears that khaki has been in
use in the British army for more than
forty years. 1t was in use at the time
of the Jowalki expedition in 1877. All
troops, British and native, engaged in
the Afghanistan war of 1S7S-1SS0 wore
khaki. Even the shoes were tan-col-
ored leather sword belts and saber
sclbbards were tan-colored leather,
helmets were covered with khaki COW
ers and pugrees. Buttons and buckles
were not polished. Khaki is Hin
dustani word meaning crusty, earthly.

London, Aug. 17.-British and French
troops, attacking on a nine-mile front
east and northeast of Ypres in Fland-
ers gained all their objectives except
on the right flank.
The French drove the Germans from
between the User canal and Martje-
vaart and captured the bridgehead of
Dreigrachten. The village of Lange-
marck was carried by the British after
they had taken all their first object
ives in the center of the attacking
line. The official statement from Brit
ish headquarters in France adds the
Germans fought stubbornly on Field
Marshal Haig's right for the posses
sion of the high ground north of the
Menin road.
The British have made further prog
ress east of Loos in the Lens area, and
the total of prisoners captured there
now has reached S96.
Among the heaviest sufferers were
the Fourth Division of the Prussian
Guard, sent into the battle late to en-
deavor to regain lost positions. These
famous troops advanced in columns OF
fours and Immediately were met by a
concentrated machine-gun fire which
moved them down until virtually the
entire division had been annihilated.
London-A message of hope and
quiet confidence in the future was
given to the British nation in the
House of Commons by Premier Lloyd
George. The people of the British
isles cannot be starved, notwithstand-
ing the German submarine campaign,
and the military situation grows more
hopeful. The difficulties of the allies
will grow less and their power increase
while the troubles of Germany will in
crease and her power fall away.
This is the supreme hour for pa
tience," the premier declared, in con-
clusion, for courage, for endurance,
for hope, for unity. Let us go through
this hour with a temper that will en-
able us to destroy a great military
despotism. Let us go through this
hour with the old temper of our race
so that next year we shall begin and
the world shall begin to reap the
fruits of our valor."
The stock of wheat in Great Brit
ain had increased by one-third with
Ia a year, and this years harvest
promises well, but economy still is
necessary, he said.
German claims as to British ship
losses, the premier said, were exag-
gerated, in the hope of cheering up
the people of the central powers. AL
though the submarine losses in April
had been 100000 tons. they had de-
creased until the average for July
and August would be 175.000 tons net
each. Shipbuilding had been speeded
up. vessels had been purchased
abroad and the total tonnage acquired
in 1917 would reach nearly 100000
tons.
