British troops have turned the
German Wotan line. Half of the
village of Oppy, believed the
northern-most town of this German
defense front, was taken today in
desperately hot fighting. Arleux,
farther to the north, also fell to the
tremendous British assault.
Despite counter attacks in which
the Germans melted away before
a murderous machine gun fire the
British held their positions.
At present the most bitter fighting
was apparently IN progress in the
woods west OF Roeux, just above the

being hoed down by artillery fire.

Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone is COM
planning of the high cost of living it
might be well to see if we cannot elm
mate two great sources of waste-fres
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago a study of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents of that
city ate more than q million dollars
worth OF food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $1O0,OO0,000 per year
to the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases, bubonic plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419, 1861, 346. Of this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even in our time and
nation S3OO,OO0,O00 per year is a saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost of living.

Old Looks :?
(BY DIR. 4. 81. SMITD

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance Of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is OF the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as it is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.
