German Troops With Bulgars.

Although Monastir was the imme-
diate objective. 1t is, of course, only to
be considered as an item in the great
plan. which involves the winning back
of Serbia The campaign really began
in September last. when the Serbian
army took kaymaschalan. the tallest
peak of the range. and which forced
the withdrawal of the Bulgarians for
ten kilometers and their immediate re-
enforcement by the Germans The
movement was progressive. Recently
the shock to the Bulgarian morale be-
came so obvious that the Germans sent
fresh stinening of their best first-line
troops. Thus the 42d Prussian Regi-
ment was practically wiped out by the
Serbs on Chuke and Hill 1912. Three
fresh German regiments attacked at
daybreak three days later-they had
been on the field just twenty-four hours
and were repulsed with loss. Now
II is reported that three fresh Germa n
divisions are to be sent posthaste in
order to hold the gate of the Babuna
pass this winter.
AS has been pointed out in previous
letters the success of the Serbs is
not due entirely to their great valor-
''the French soldier is as good as we
are" the Serbs say-nor to the super
lative generalship of Mischitch, but to
the individual skill of the Serbian
soldier. He is beyond question the
: best hillfghter In the world today for
hills for five long years, almost with
out intermission. Each man knows
what is best to do and does it. In two
months with the Serbian army / have
not heard of a single case of cowardice
or disobedience of orders The cow
ards are dead. for these men of Serbia
have no patience with a coward AS
to disobedience--
A German would reason that there
can be no disobience, for orders are
hardly given. The men know what is
TO be done as well as the officers The
action, subject to the general plan of
campaign. is taken almost by universal
consent, for the Serbian army is Gu
rfously democratic. An order is only
the word to go forward in unison. Time
after time trenches have been taken
when no order was given. BY some
curious conveyance of spirit-some
warlike clairvoyance-the men knew
when the right moment had come
Allies Helped Serbs.
They have been well backed by their
allies, in detail. The French artillery
. Was notably well served. They fought
in the hills and helped take Chuke and
Hill 1912, and the destruction of the
Bulgarian trenches before Kenali. on

markable demonstration of the power

NATURE ANSWERS HUMANITY'S AGE.
 OLD QUESTION
Answer Found at Last in Re- markable Mineral Deposit in Mississippi.

How long must 1 suffer with this torturing stomach trouble and how long must I endure this agony of skin and blood disease?
 Two questions which humanity has asked for generations. We have only just come to the answer. It comes direct from Nature and gives us a real knowledgt of her boundless ef- forts to alleviate human suffering.
 In Mississippi there has recently been discovered most remarkable mineral clay, containing medicinal properties almost beyond belief. A solution of this mineral, gotten by percolation with the water of a spring found on the spot, has become the standard of efficacy in the treatment of stomach and blood diseases in the south.
 Thousands of sufferers, tired of useless remedies and drugs, have turned to this Nature remedy and found speedy and grateful relief. Hundreds of cases of the most obsti- nate type of Indigestion and Rheu- matism and blood disorders have yielded almost magically to this amazing remedy,
 It is purely natural, contains no alcohol and no added drugs of any kind. It is sold just as it comes from Nature. In whole communities in the South no other medicine is used for the family ailments. This natural medicine is sold under the name of Sulferro-Sol and no other medicine now offered is known to heal and build as this medicine does.
 Hundreds of letters are on file in the Company office telling of the great bltssing this remarkable rem edy is bringing to sufferers.
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of it's great healing and building powers.

 The hearings began at Ciarksville last Monday, and other meetings are to be held as follows: Camden, June 1S; Nashville, June 15; Lincoln, June IS; Sloan Springs, June 20; Benton vile, June p; Springdale, June 23; Berryville, June 28; Mountain Home, June 30; Little Rock, in the auditor ium of the new Capitol Hotel, at 10 a. m. Wednesday. July II.
 It is provided that all nursery stock offered for shipment into or within Arkansas must have attached either a proper Arkansas certificate tag or a federal Horticultural Board certifi- cate unless it is being sent to the chief inspector at Fayetteville or Lit tie Rock, the state Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at Fayetteville, the Commissioner of Agriculture at Little Rock or the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington. Agents at shipping points of Arkansas nur- series will be notified when certifi- cates are issued in their neighbor- hood, and shipments offered before such notice is received are to be re- garded with suspicion.
