No Sunday in Her Week.

Little Helen is an ardent supporter
of Sunday school. She wouldn't miss
going under any circumstances. A few
Sundays ago, however, she was i'll and
the family council decided it would be
best not to let her know when Sum
day came. This plan was followed,
but the next day the secret leaked out
and she exclaimed:
ooh, mamma you didn't put Sum
day in my week !'-IndianapOlis News.

Warning
Against Fly Poisons
Following is an extract from "The
Transmission Of Disease by Flies"
Supplement No. 80 to the Public
Health Reports, April, 1916.
"Of other fly poisons mentioned,
mention should be made, merely for
apurpose of condemnation, of those
composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of
poisoning of children through the
use of such compounds are. far too
frequent, and owing to the resem-
blance of arsenical poisoning to
summer diarrhea and cholera in
fantum, it is believed that the cases
reported do not, by any means, COM
prise the total. Arsenical fy-de-
stroying devices must be rated as
extremely dangerous, and should
never be used, even if other meas
ures are not at hand"
106 fly poisoning cases have been re-
ported by the press within the last
three years. AS stated above this num-
Der is but fraction of the real plumber.
Protect your children by using the safe,
efficient, non-poisonous fly catcher

threw light on the tremendous power behind
recent German counter-attacks as we'll as
the great forces which the French werc
compelled to put forward in their victorious
advance.
The German prisoners also declared Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg personally visited
the Cornillet front recently and supervised
all arrangements for the abortive offensive
The conquest by the French of the north
ern slopes of the Moronvilllers crest, be-
tween Mounts Cornillet and the Casaue
ended all hopes of the Germans for an
offensive in this sector Such an attack
had been planned for Tuesday morning
with the object Of regaining the top Of
this crest. Great forces of German re-
serves were massed in expectation for this
advance. The Germans brought UP new
guns and great stores Of ammunition. Then
so the prisoners said--the French struck
n sudden, unexpected blow, took the north
ern slopes in front of the crest and threw
the Germans still further back
The fury of the French attack was suf-
hcient to hurl back all these concentrated
German forces, but their very concentration
permitted the enemy to strike back in Vio-
lently powerful counter-thrusts.
For two days now these great counter
attacks have been waging back and forth
At some places they have forced a slight
giving of ground. But today the French re-
tained all their important gains and were
here and there still forging ahead.
Early today all the remaining portions of
Cornillet were consolidated, including an
immense tunnel which the Germans had
laboriously dug out under the mount.
