 A bitter fight is in progress in the neighborhooG of 1nvarness copse. Nuns wood and Glencorse wood. If the attackers maintain the positions to which they have advanced in this section they have accomplished one of the most remarkable and most accurate achievements in recent months.
 The German infantry is making a most determined resistance to retain this vital ground and the Teuton ar tillery is fighting heavily against tho British guns.
 Today's offensive will be known as the Battle of the Menin road Fair weather had improved the ground, Cut the H1uO Stlll was uecp cHc tHc whole territory covered with water filled shell holes, tangled harbcd wire and shattered trees. The German de- lenses were composed largely of con- crete redoubts.
 The Germans poured wicked stream of bullets into the ranks of the advancing troops from concrete redoubts. Every little elevation and all the woods were choked with rapid fire guns.
 The British encountered hard fight ing at many places, but their magni- ficent artillery work had done much

THE NEW METHOD
(By L w. Bower. NJ. d.

Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder. which means that the
kidneys are not working properly. Poison
GUS matter and uric acid accumulate
within the body in great abundance,
overworking the sick kidneys; hence the
congestion of blood causes backache In
the same manner as q similar congestion
In tho head causes headache. You be-
come nervous. despondent, sick, feverish.
irritable. have spots appearing before the
eyes. bags under the lids. and lack ambi-
tion to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble. is to eat SPAR
ingly of meat. drink plenty of water be-
tween meals and take a single An-u-ric
tablet before each meal for a while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Anuric. double strength. II you have
lumbago. rheumatism. gout. dropsy. boz
