AN EASY WAY TO
REDUCE FLESH
Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco

Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your fish? Some
thing that does not require dieting or
calisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in 5-grain tassco tablets, which
you may secure at the National Drug
Co. They are pleasant to take, per
feCtly harmless and cause no restrict
ions Of habit or eating, and reduce
the flesh, little by little, until you are
down to the number of pounds you
wish to weigh. Too much flesh is un-
desirable, as most quite stout people
will readily admit, and it detracts
from ones good appearance; makes
one clumsy and short OF breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there's this
much-tried perfectly satisfactory
remedy at the National Drug Co.
Tassco tablets don't forget the nance
are recommended by physicians and
are guaranteed to be perfectly harm
less. Refuse substitutes, il you can
not come TO our store, we will mail
tasSce 10 you.

MaN,s :
To War Department

Atlanta, Ga, August 23.-Atlap,a
Masons, 1t is understood, are prepar-
ing 10 enter protest with the War
Department against the order deny
ing them the privilege of erecting a
Masonic hall and recreation room for
the soldiers who will be trained at
Camp Gordon. Hundreds of these
men will be Masons, some will be Ma
sons desiring to take higher degrees,
and others will be sons of Masons.
The Masonic bodies of Atlanta plann-
ed to expend $1,000 on a hall where
Masons could meet, and where vari-
Gus forms of recreation and amusc-
ment approved by the government
could be provided
On submitting their plan to the
War Department they were astound-
ed to receive the information from
Adjutant-Gencral H. G.. eLarnard
that THE Secretary of War desires
me to inform you that no organiza-
ton will be allowed on the grounds
except the Young Mems Christian
Association and the Knights. OF Col
umbus"
OF course the Masons had nothing
to say regarding the Y. NJ c. A. but
which everyone regards as a matter of
course, but the thing that took their
breath away was the information that
the Knights of Columbus would be
permitted to establish d hall on the
grounds. while the Masons must stay
out. Everyone knows that the Knights
of Columbus is Catholic secret or
der, while no Catholic can join the
Masens.

Any Excuse Does For
Those Who Want Liquor

London, April 4.-Statements made
in London police courts reveal that
the war has added greatly to the old
reliable stock of excuses for drunken
ness. Yet some of the reasons vouch-
safed by prisoners have a familiar
ring to them and might have been ad-
Vanced in almost any American po-
lice court.
Among the explanations for drunk
enness given at the Metropolitan
court in Londan recently were:
Seeing friends off on a journey.
Taking Just a wee drop" for a cold.
Four bottles of stout for neuralgia.
A drink of whisky to forget domes-
tic troubles, other drinks following to
add to the forgetfulness.
a sad letter from a sailor son.
Worry over dog.
Excitement over husbands depart
ure for the French front.

TEUTONS GIVE UP
RUSS OFFENSIVE
Proposed Drive on Petrograd
Believed to Have Been
Abandoned
BY Associated Press


Copenhagen, April 4. - A person
age particularly we'll informed politi-
cally and militarily," who is easily
recognizable as Colonel Won Eaeften
of the general staff in charge of the
military department of the foreign
office has informed the Politiken that
there is no prospect OF German of
fensive on the Riga front. The colonel
says:
THE spring thaw which is setting in
is enough in itself to deprive an Of
fensive OF any chance of success. Even
If the Germans succeeded in taking the
Russian positions it will be impossible
for them to move artillery and sup
plies forward for an advance on Petro-
grad. They would be hopelessly
begged.
May Change Plan
"A modern offensive cannot be i'm
provised. Months are needed for prep
aration so it is extremely probable that
the German leaders will change their
original plan owing to the new politi-
cal situation resulting from the Rus
sian revolution.
Colonel Won Haeften also doubts
whether Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg contemplates an offensive on the
Sereth front in Rumania. but thinks
he will adopt a defensive attitude on
the eastern front.
Would Quiet Russians
The paper continues: THE state
ments of the German general staff,
which have certain inherent proba-
Dlllties are another example of the
German determination to quiet Rus
sian apprehension in every possible
way. They are issued, as clearly evil
dent from the tone of the various
nn\NSn1nats
of not interfering by outside pressure
with the growth of the peace senti-
ment in Russia and particularly with
the spirit of disorganization."

German Coast Guns
And Mines Too Strong
For British, ExpertsSay

We have noticed that IN certain
quarters there Is a growing demand
for what is called more aggressive
policy on the part Of the British navy,
says "The Scientific American" There
Ia an evident attempt to create the
impression that Great Britain's naval
policy has proved to be ineffective be-
cause It has failed to suppress the
U-boat piracy. 1t is urged that the
time has come for the British fleet to
make a grand assault on the German
bases-Kiel, Heligoland. Wilhelmsha-
ven, etc. These opponents Of the true
strategy and tactics would have Admi"
raj Beatty, with battle flags flying and
an explosive Damn the torpedoes! on
his lips, rush boldly through me Ger
man mine fields and, Kaiser-like, hack
his way through to victory.
Well, 'twould be a thrilling specta-
Gle, and TO no one would it bring such
unauthorized delight as to Admiral
Won Capelle and the German Admiralty
Nothing would give these gentlemen
greater JOY than to see the British fleet
floundering in the uncharted channels
and mine fields of the Blight of Heligo-
land and exposed to the terrific fire of
the Heligoland and Cuxhaven l6-inch
gun batteries.
Equally absurd is the suggestion that
the way could be cleared by sweeping
and countermining; for a channel
would have to be opened through
twenty miles OF mine fields, during
which operations the trawlers and de-
stroyers would be exposed TO the COM
bined fire Of the sea coast batteries and
the German fleet.
But Churchill says 1t should be done.
Well. il Churchill wants to add TO the
fissco Of Antwerp and the tragedy of
the Dardanelles a third disaster, COM
pared with which the Dardanelles
would be child's play, he is certainly
going the way TO get II.
The submarine problem can never be
solved by piling up the British feet
upon the impregnable sea coast de-
fences Of the enemy. II can be solved
by shutting up the U-boat feet within
the North Sea By a mine barrier from
Scotland to Norway. How long shall
we have to wait for the British Ad-
miralty to undertake this perfectly
feasible engineering work.
