When Ger thy silent grave
Ewes shadows creep
Fond memory ever will
Her vigils keep.
Thunders may peal above,
Storms Ger thee madly sweep,
Yet und disturbed will be
Thy dreamless sleep.

Atlanta, Ga. DR.. Jacobson said in
a recent interview that 80 per cent. of
enema comes from nervous break
down which can only be corrected by
supplying the necessary phosphates
to the nervous system that is lacking
in the food you eat, and this can be
quickly supplied by taking one or two
5-grain Argo-Phosphate tablets after
each meal, and at bed time. 1t will in
many cases make pale scrawney face
the picture of health in few days, l
have seen women that expected would
have to be kept under treatment for
months restored to perfect health in
one or two weeks time.
SPECIAL NOTICE, The Argo-
Phosphate recommended by DR.. F. H.
Jacobon contains phosphates such as
are prescribed by leading physicians
throughout the world and it will be
found the effective form for treating
patients with Nervous Dyspepsia,
Stomach troubles, rain Fag Nervous
Prostitution. 1t will renew youthful
vim and vigor, and build up the
whole body. If your druggist will not
supply you with Argo-Phosphate,
send 81 for two weeks treatment, to

Distributing and Marketing

The State Courcil, through the
Division of Markets, working with
the County Councils will develop
and direct the co operative effort
of all farmers for the assembling,
grading, packing and shipping OF
all farm products, using as far as
possible the Farmers Union and
independent farmers clubs and
other organizations for this work
where such organ cations exist a
survey will be Conducted at some
time prior to the marketing period
to determine the kind and quantity
of food and farm products that
each county has produced and the
surplus, over local needs, available
for shipment, and to determine also
the need of each county for these
commodities, if such a need exists.
This work will practically be con,
fined to staple crops.
Where there is a surplus for
shipment, it will be the practice of
the Council to investigate trans
portation facilities and provide for
a sufficient supply Of cars to handle
the shipments.
The Council of National Defense
will be notified through the Federal
Office of Markets of all staple food
and food products available for
shipment.
Information will be given as to
markets and market demands and
all possible efforts will be put forth
to secure the most economic dis
tribution of foodstuffs. Farmers
will be informed of the market
value of staples as far as is possible
Efforts will be made to promote
the practice on the part of mer-
chants to purchase all possible sup
plies of food from surrounding
country rather than from distant
points.

THURSDAY,

Reports from the eastern theatre oil
war indicate a lessening in the speed
OF the Russian drive. There has even
been a recession at one point Where
Austrian and German reserves have
been thrown In.

Germans to get back some Of the valu

A new field was chosen for an at
tempt of this sort, the first really

March being delivered just to the south
Of st. Quentin. The crown prince
chose a front nearly a half mile In
extent where the French occupied a
hillock to the east of Gauchy. General
Petain's forces yielded some ground In
the first line. They rallied quickly
and drove the Germans out of the
greater part of the occupied positions

FRIDAY.

Dissaffection among Russian troop
has resulted in an important gain OF
ground by Germans and Austrlanf
in the region of Zlochoff, east OF Lem
berg, the Galician capital.
Persistent German attacks at mrs.
were repulsed by the Russians. Later
a Russian regiment near the center OF
the line voluntarily left its trenches
and retired, forcing the other units on
the line to fall back. This movement
Petrograd says, gave the Germans op
portunity for developing their move
ment.
Another effort by the German crown
prince to regain the California and
Classmates plateaux between Hurte
bise and Craonne on the Aisne front
has been checked by the French. The
Germans attacked repeatedly in mass
formation, but every attempt was re
pulsed, and the French held to theil
positions. .

captured the position.
