MAssING OF ENTENTE TROOPS
IN THEsSALY FoREsHAOoWs
ATTEMPT TO RETAKE SERBIA
British Give Up Numerous Villages on
Eastern Wing Which They Had
Burned, But Hold Tightly
TO River Positions.

LondOn.-The massing OF entente
troops In Thessaly seemingly is an In
dication that big events are In the
making in the Macedonian theatre in
an attempt to retake Serbia, or at
least that portion of 1t as far as Nish,
through which runs the famous Ber-
in-Constantinople railway.
No impeachment is being placed in
the way of the troops that have been
landed in Thessaly, and with the de-
parture of former King Constantine
from the country the people are de
clared TO have become more friendly
to the entente allied cause by placing
their adherence in the provisional gov
eminent Of Il. Venizelos.
Although on the eastern wing the
British have given up numerous VIII
lages, which they previously burned,
they are holding tightly to the bridge
head position on the left bank Of the
River Struma In the Lake Tahinos-
Butkova sector, northeast of Saloniki.
THAT the retirement sf the British was
voluntary is indicated by the Bulgar-
Ian official report dealing with the
the maneuver, which does not mention
bny fighting as having taken place,
Where has, however, already been Some
activity on the part of the British in
the Vardar-Lake Doiran sector, but
Sofia reports that the attempt made by
them to advance near Dautll was re-
pulsed.
To the east of Arras on the front
in France the British troops have
been compelled to fall back from ad-
vanced positions before an attack de
livered by the Germans, which was
covered by heavy bombardment 9th
erwise there has been no fighting any
where in France or Belgium, except by
raiding parties and by the artillery
wings of the opposing forces.
In the Austro-Italian theatre the
first fighting for more than week ON
the Carso plateau, where recently the
Italians attempted to break through
toward Triest, is chronicled by Rome
Northeast OF Jumiano the Italians In
an attack have been able to advance
and straighten out their line. In thu
Trentino zone Austrian attacks against
Italian positions on the Asiago plateau
and in the Vodice district were re
pulsed.

Many members of the medical pro-
fession are indignant at the fact that
medical students have not been ex-
empted from military service under the
compulsory-servlce bill, although theo-
logical students have been exempted.
The need for a supply of physicians, OF

front Keeping enough doctors at home
to take care of the civil population Is
one of the perplexing. questions faced
by the council of national defense.
Also, the number of students In this
country has been reduced In recent
years by the strict standards imposed
upon schools. which has put many OF
them out Of business and increased the
length of time required for a physi-
clan to qualify for practice.

PESSIMIST SENDS OUT Wall
Seems to Think the Modern Type of
American Is Not the Equal Of
His Predecessors.

His height was about six feet usu-
ally, and weight from 40 to 200
pounds. His head had rather a mass
i've appearance, caused by his hair be-
ing allowed to grow thick at the back
and the whiskers, which were always
in evidence. The style of the hirsute
decoration varied somewhat. The up
per chin was shaven, though some
times the full beard was worn. The
paint brush or chin and side whiskers
were most common. The eyes were
clear and the expression frank and
honest. The hands were large, heavy,
stubby fingers and broad, hairy wrists
The feet usually required a No. 9 or
10 boot and were firmly planted. His
reading was not extensive, often con-
fined to the Weekly Tribune and the
Bible. Morally and Intellectually he
was as firm and dependable as were
the cowhide boots which he wore. In
business he was methodical, neat and
for his day and generation, efficient.
He was a man of principle and cour-
age to maintain them. 1t was this type
that made the revolution of '76 posi-
BILE and the maintenance of the Union
through the dark days Of '61-'65 a GER
tainty. What have we to take the
place of this type Of American that has
meant so much to our country's his

fruit LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"CaIifornia Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, good inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep california
Syrup of Figs handy; they know
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow Ask at the store for a So
cent bottle of california Syrup Of
Figs which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

Two Species of SardInes.

Louis Fage has made study OF
the growth of the sardine or pilchard
(Clupea pilchardus), using the method
now so much employed, of reading
the age from the scales and otoliths.
AS in other cases, the concentric
striated zones seen on a scale are in
terrupted by several clear nonstriated
zones, the latter indicating periods OF
rest-"Winter rings" AS Hort has
said: ''The growth of the scales is SO
closely bound up with that of the indi-
vidual that it is impossible by simple
measurements of the zones of growth
on the scale to retrace with real pre-
cision the history of the growth OF
the fish," The results of his measure
ments lead Faye to conclude that
there are two distinct biological
races"-the Mediterranean and the
oceanic sardine. The former grows
more slowly, and lags more and more
behind as it grows older.

Life in the City.

"Give me a plate of beans and a

shouted to a waiter in a Brazil res

beans were consumed he ordered more
beans, fried fish, cup of coffee and
two pieces Of pie.

said to a diner perched on an ada
cent stool. "We've been eating pork
out home until I've nearly got the
scurvy. You see, we used to have a
big family and butchered seven or
eight hogs every winter. Now the
girls are all married and the boys
have moved to town, so that there
are only four of us. Paw still thinks
we have got to butcher eight hogs"
"Give me a bowl Of oyster soup
with plenty Of pickles" exclaimed the
youth to the waiter as he began again.

Mikes Foolish Question.

The talk topic at a recent social
session turned to the propensity that
some people have for asking foolish
questions when this happy little incl
dent was recalled by Harry Fox, the
well-known actor:
One Sunday morning last summer
the weather was so exceedingly hot in
Pats happy home that he took him
self out to the back porch for his
Sabbath shave.
While Pat was performing the oper-
alton of amputating his bristles, his
next-door neighbor, Mike, sauntered
out on the back porch adjoining.
"Shure, Pat" pleasantly remarked
Mike, leaning on the partition railing,
