!. TERRIBLE CARNAGE -
Thousands are dying hourly,
the carnage on both sides being
described even in the official bull
letins from Cadoriia's headquar-
tiers as horrible.
The military interest Of the
world has now cehtered in this
ghastly, surging Climax of the
T; war being battled out for possess
sion of the gateway to Northern
Italy. The A ST 60 plateau,
through a deep valley of which
runs the Brenta River, emptying
into the lagoon of Venice, lies al
most in the center of the Italian
line of defense, half way between
the Adriatic and the Swiss Dor
der. On this plateau were linked
the Italian forces operating
against Trent and those operat-
ing with TriesteSas their objec-
tive, and against it has been
concentrated the main Teuton
, army, reinforced by divisions
from the army recently menacing
Venice and that concentrated
early in the Austro- German Of
fensive to strike south from
Trent. ..E
LIVES DISREGARDED
The hammering of the Ger
mans regardless Of cost in lives
has gained them some ground,
but nowhere in comparison to the
terrific losses they have sustain
ed. 1t is admitted that the Ital-
ians, in falling back from their
advanced positions, have lost in
the neighborhood of sixteen thou
sand prisoners, but they have lost
few guns and have partially
evened the score Of prisoners by
capturing isolated groups of Ger
mans and Austrians, following
the repulses of the main attacks.
The German effort is to force
the passage Of the Brenta Valley
and open the way to the Italian
plains. The Italian object is to
hold the passes and make the
German drive SO costly that it
cannot be persisted in. Neither
side has as yet indicated the least
intention of wavering and there
IS practically no cessation in the
slaughter. e

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

II you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your head
is dull or aching; if what you eat sours
and forms gas and acid in stomach, or
you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sal
low and can't get feeling just right, be-
gin inside bathing. Drink before break
fast glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful OF limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
and cleanse, sweeten and purify the en-
tire alimentary tract. Do your inside
bathing Immediately upon arising in the
morning to wash out of the system all
the previous days poisonous waste, gases
and sour bile before putting more food
into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like you
felt before your blood, nerves and mus.
cles became loaded with body impurities,
get from your pharmacist quarter
pound OF limestone phosphate, which is
and almost tasteless, except
for sourish twinge which is not un.
pleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on the
skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshen-
ing, so hot water and limestone phos-
phate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. Men and women who sc
usually constipated, bilious, headachy or
have any stomach disorder should begin
this inside bathing before breakfast.
They are assured they will become real
cranks on the subject shortly.-Adv.

minerals and that in general acid and
oxidizing solutions give the highest po-
tentials and alkaline and reducing solu
tions the lowest. Economic biologists
have long recognized that the solutions
in the upper oxidized portion of many
ore deposits are acid and oxidizing, while
farther down they become neutral or
alkaline, Whether such variations and
the electric differences dependent upon
them are sufficient to cause an appre-
cable electric current to flow from the
upper part OF an ore deposit to lower
part or vice versa is still an open ques-
ton. Surely such action, if it exists, is
of relatively minor Importance in CON

being the actual movement of metal
bearing solutions from one place to an
other. Measurements of electric poten
tial can, however, be quickly and easily
made and may prove very useful in in
