Crushing Blow
Dealt Germany
BY French on a
40 Mile Front

Paris, April II, QO.40 a. M
Germany suffered another
crushing blow on the western
front when forty miles of the
strongest part of her lines were
wrested from her with an esti-
mated loss Of nearly 100, 900 kill
ed, wounded and prisoners as a
result of the opening yesterday
Of the French offensive.
The attack began along .
twenty-five mile front from Sois-
sons to Rheims, extending the
great western battle a distance
f close to $50 miles.
The battle opened OIL the left
Of the lire where shortly after
s o'clock in the morning the
French infantry swept forward
in an irresistible wave. III spite
of stiff resistance the Germans
were driven back and inside Of
half an hour prisoners began
streaming toward the French
rear by hundreds The strug-
gle was hottest east of Louvre
as we'll as in the whole section
of Berry au-Bach and to the
east of Craonnelie but the
French heavy shells were too
much for the Germans and be-
fore noon the whole first line
was won.
On the right the action began
i little in the morning. The
French met with a determined
resistance and the fighting was
terrible. After several hours
the French Infantry forced their
way into the enemy's first line.
GERMANS USE RESERVES
In the afternoon the Germans
counter. attacked. The majority
f their reserves were engaged
south and east of the Bnmont
ridge. 1t is from the Brimont
fort, built on a crest which DOM
mates all the plain around, that
the Germans have bombarded
the city of Rheims. The French
are now very close to this ridge.

RELATION OF TEETH TO TUBER-
CULOSIS.

Unclean teeth are not only a bad
sight to the seeing eye, but they are
the beginning of long train of mental
and physical diseases. One of the most
widespread and fatal diseases of the
human animal is caused by the germ
called the tubercle bacillus. For many
years science has accepted the theory
that tuberculosis is caused by the germ,
other conditions being present. The
tubercle bacillus is known to be plenti-
full in human habitations; it is we'll
nigh everywhere. Some Investigators
tell US that it is found in the sputum
(spit) or saliva of one person in every
five or six individuals whom we meet
in our ordinary environment. 1t is ad-
mitted that tuberculosis is a great
scourge and that many who are eonsid-
cred well are found, upon careful exam
ination, to be in the first stage of the
disease, yet it is not generally believed
that one person in every five or six has
tuberculosis.
1t is probably true that every person
who lives in city has had an intimate

contact with the germ, if the time of
residence has been for some years. 1t
is not strange that with intimate con-
tact the disease fails to abide with
most of US. When we are up to the
high standard of perfect resistance, the
germs of disease have no chance in the
battle of life. Germs prey upon the
weak; dirty teeth as well as deeayed
teeth are Fhot-beds for destructive mi
ero-organisms. No better portal Of en-
try could be made than a dirty, foul
smelling tooth. They produce weak
lings.
Tuberculous ulcers are often seen
post norton in the intestines. They
were doubtless caused by germs trans
ported there by food masticated by un-
clean teeth.
Toxemia or the injurious action, of
other material from infections of the
teeth lowers the resistance of the en-
tire system and opens the way for many
fierce diseases. tuberculosis is no ex-
ception.
Great improvement has been noted
in many patients who have been taught
the proper care of the teeth.

HAWK BREAKS WINDOW GLASS
furnishing Bird Attempts to Feast on
Parrot.


Parrot.
Green Bay, Wis.-Polly, parrot, the
companion of Mrs. William Anderson,
was preening herself in the sunshine
at the window of the front room when
a hawk, swoOping down, crashed
through the window glass.
Before the bleeding bird Of prey could
reach the parrot with its talcns Polly
scared out through the same hole and
perched in an apple tree. Polly set up
q frightened chatter that brought her
mistress, who couldn't imagine how
she got out Of the room. Mrs. Ander-
son hurried out and to the window,
where she saw the havoc and the great
hawk Topping about the floor, sprink-
ling blood all over her erstwhile i'm
maculate parlor.
When Mrs. Anderson and q neighbor
had pinned it down and chopped or its
head they found it three feet five
inches from tip to tip. The bird was
thin and seemed nearly starved, prob
ably, they thought, because of the deep
snow.

The daffodils and the jonquils all be-
long to the narcissus family and are
among the first flowers to bloom in our
gardens In the springtime.
These, Of course, l bought Of a man
who sells flowers. They were raised In
q dollhouse.
Daffodils do not grow wild in this
country, though In some parts Of south
ern Europe they do.
The name narcissus was given to the
flowers by the Greeks.
They had a story about them which
you may like to hear.
Long ago, the Greeks story ran,
there was a handsome lad named Mar
cissus. So beautiful was he that every
one who saw admired him.
Most Of his time was spent in wan
dering about the woods and fields
alone. One day he went to the woods
to hunt. Tired and thirsty near the
middle Of the day, he looked about for
place to get drink.
Deep in the forest he found a beau
tiful clear. deep pool 1t was shaded
by tall green trees, and the violets that
grew by the water were the most love
ly and fragrant Of their kind.
Narcissus knelt to drink from the
pool, and 10, just beneath his own face
looked up another, a face which he
thought the most attractive he had
ever seen.
There were no mirrors in those days
save the polished silver ones that be-
longed to kings or the rich. The sim
pie country youth did not know that it
was his own face that he saw looking
up at him out of the water.
NarcisSus leaned down and the face
in the water seemed to come closer, but
though he dipped his in the pool he
could not touch the other.
The foolish boy was happy, for he
thought that what he saw in the water
was the nymph or the fairy guardian
Of the pool.
But, though he begged the image to
come out of the water and talk to him,
Of course it could make no reply. Day
after day Narcissus came to the pool
to gaze at himself in the water. E1e
forgot to eat. to drink, to sleep and at
last he faded away and died. But he
did not really die, for from his body
sprang a wonderful flower whose gold
en- head hung over the pool as his head
so often had done. The flower was
called narcissus. and, though would
not have you believe this story true,
yet it may help you to remember the
name.

Compensation Act

Trenton, Sept. 1.-THE action of
the Passaic Common Pleas Court in
awarding Mary Flynn compensation
at the rate of SIS a week for 800
weeks for the death of her husband
James, has been set aside by a Su-
preme Court opinion on the ground
that the man was killed while in in
ter-state business and therefore the
Federal Employers Liability Act is
the proper statute under which to
proceed and the county court and the
New Jersey Workman's Compensa-
ton Act have no jurisdiction or ap-
plication.
On March 90, 1916, James Flynn
was employed as a flagman at the
Lyon street crossing. Paterson, of the
New York, Susquehann and Western
Railroad Company. The railroad is
carrier engaged in both Interstate
and intrastate commerce. While in
the act of tagging train carrying
passengers from New York State to
points ir New Jersey, Flynn was
killed.
The Supreme Court holds that the
man was directly and Immediately
connected with Interstate traffic at
the time of his death, therefore the
