MANY Dead From Stab Wounds.

The Alpini fought their way up the
hill. gaining the summit against heavy
odds, only to find their comrades cut
to pieces. Most of them were lying
pini battalions found themselves in the
center of a concentration of enemy
forces which gradually encircled them
Some of the hattalions maneuFered
and were carried back and forth in the
fury of the fighting along the slopes.
Others remained on the summit with
the enemy surrounding them.
At 9 O'Clock on Wednesday morning
the colonel of these battalions sent his
last report to the general. 1t said
The enemy is on all Sides and I am
about to charge
That was the last which was ever
heard of him or of any of his men.
The enveloping masses grew denser
and the gallant Alpini band which had
gone to rescue the bersaglieri was
wiped out of existence.
Fight Until Decimated.
Fighting continued along other
points of the line until the forces We're
decimated and it became clear that the
enemy greatly outnumbered the ltal-
ians. The general himself, who was
directing operations from a point Just
back of the line, narrowly escaped Z
shrapnel shell which burst near his
automobile. 1t WAS then that the major
who recounted these events gathered
the remnant of the division ana fought
out the remainder of the day until the
new Italian lines of defense We're
formed across the Franzella and Ga
dena passes leading to the Brenta val
ley and the plain. IL is here the lines
are now resting. with good prospects
of holding.
The correspondent visited a number
of points on the present line and talk ed
with officers and men. All were conf
dent of being able to hold when the

few days. is made.

heights back of the Asiago plateau UNI

toward the close of the fight collected
the remainder. of the men of the d.

struggle. He said there were three
bersaglieri regiments, some Alpini bat
talions and one infantry regiment In
the division, in addition to the usual
quota of batteries OF field and middle
caliber guns. These were ranged back
of Asiago when the enemy's drive
reached ts maximum intensity last
Wednesday. For twenty four hours
one bersaglieri regiment had held Mon

been reduced from thirty men to six.
It was then that the battalions of Al

How to Master

(By n. B. Cook, NJ. ID


The machinery of the body needs to be
oiled, kept in good condition just as the
automobile or bicycle. Why should the
human neglect his own machinery more
than that of his horse or his engine? Yet
most people do neglect themselves. Their
tongue has a dark brown color, skin sal
low, breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention. Every
body should take mild laxative at least
once a week. pleasant way to clear
the tongue and the highly colored water
noticed in the morning is to take a lax
alive which will cure the inactive liver
and biliousness.
A pleasant vegetable pill is made up of
May-apple leaves of aloe, and jalap,

sugar First put up b. DR.. Pierce nearly

If backache, scalding urine or frequent
