makes a wide curve and then goes on
in a southeasterly direction into the
Adriatic. It is the last strong natural
defense before Venice. The Piave
and the Tagliamepto rise within a
few miles of each other, the one flow
ing south and the other east so that a
retirement along the southern Taglia-

defense of the mountain region.
Evacuated Entire Line.
Berlin, Nov 6.-The Italian line on
the Tagliamento river has been won
by the Austro- Germans, it was Off
cially announced today by the Ger
man staff. The ItaliaAsJ have evacu-

brigon, north of the Sugana valley,
the Italians are retreating. (This re-
gion includes the front along the Dol
omites and the Carnicalps.)
Copflagrations, the German state

SUCCEED IN CHECKING FOE.
TagliamentO Defense Served Its Pur-
pose, Giving Italians Time.


italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Monday, Nov. 5. (By the Asso-
ciated Press) The crossing of the
Tagliamento at Pinzano by a consid-
cradle force of the enemy should not
be a surprise as this has been fore
seen from the heavy pressure the
Austro-G ermans were concentrating
on the Italian left wing. The river
Tagliamento is only one of series of
defenses. Its main purpose was to
retard the enemy advance and to gain
time for the Italians in which to re-
habilitate and re-concentrate.
The Tagliamento has served that
useful purpose and the enemy now is
faced by another main line of defense
and other water courses. What line
the Italians have chosen for their
final stand cannot be indicated.
Two theories prevail concerning the
One is that the Italian army VII con-
centrate along a ch9se7 Inc y n the
French and British achievements
The other is that the acknowledgements
will not push on much furthe be-
cause of the coming winter.
General Cadorna is using strong
measures to restore the efficiency of
his troops and will repress sternly the
few who falter. An order posted to-
day warns all those belonging to the
modified forces that if they fail to
report within five days. they will be
treated as deserters in the face of the
enemy. Indications are that the
strong measures adopted are having
the effect of restoring normal condi-
tions rapidly

MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry,
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less
meat, drink lots of water and above
all take a spoonful of salts OCCASION
ally to keep down uric acid.
rheumatism is caused by poison
Gus toxin, called uric acid, which is
generated in the bowels and alb
sorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
uon of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in
the urine. The pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly.
cold weather the skin pores are
closed, thus forcing the kidneys to
do double work. they become weak
and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumu-
lating and circulating through the
system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness.
soreness and pain called rheuma-
tiSm.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for a week. This is said to elimi-
nate uric acid by stimulating the
kidneys to normal action, thus rid
ding the blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice. combined with
lithia and is used with excellent re-
suits by thousands of folks who are
subject to rheumatism. Here you
have a pleasant. effervescent lithia-
water drink which overcomes uric
acid and is beneficial TO your kid
neys as well.-Adv.
