Italian Headquarters, Friday, Nov. %
--(By Associated Press The battle OF
the mountains is raging with unexam-
pied violence The Italians again hold
Monte Tomba and Monte Pertica, posi-
tions which they lost last night. The
losses have been very heavy, but the enc
my's far exceed those of the Italians.
A high commanding officer on the field
has summarized the fury of the present
battles by declaring he could not say
whom to commend for bravery as it
would require medal for the entire
force engaged. A distinctive ribbon for
bravery. he said, would stretch across
the Italian front.
On the outcome of the mountain battle
depends the result of the enemy's great
est effort to break through the Italian
lines to the Venetian plain. The great
est blow was aimed at the strategic key
of Monte Tomba and Monte Monferara.
Here the full force of two divisions, one
German and the other Austrian, was
hurled in furious attack ON the Italian
right wing in an effort to turn the wing
and cut off the army from the line of
communication along the Piave.
The bloody battle went on all last
night and to-day. What the outcome
will be cannot be foreseen, but the ItaI-
ian arms have again covered themselves
with glory. Even the enemy yields trib-
ute to Italian valor for prisoners say
their forces were disconnected bv the i'm
petuous bravery of the Italian troops.

THE PENALTY OF GREED

In these trying hours there may
arise a few who will try to get rich
quick at the expense of the nation
and its people. But it will be Meth
er profitable or wise for them to at
tempt anything of the kind.
If their business is national in
its scope, the government will han
die them without gloves. The Pres
ident has so warned them.
If their business is local in its
character, we, the people, will see
that they get their just deserts.
There must be no price boosting,
no gouging, no angling for sudden
wealth for the few at the expense
Of misery for the many.
The man who can not be a pa
triOt from choice must have it
thrust upon him from necessity.
The people are mighty and their
will must prevail. 1t must be a
period of loyalty and live and let
live.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. Castor,
of this place, writes: 81 am user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
It was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when |
was q child. When any Of us child
rem complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots Of
doctor bills. Just dose Of Black
D-aught when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys is proof of its merit.
If your liver is not doing its duty,
you will suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, ETC.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. 1t is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed-
fords, the original and genuine. e 70

BOARD OF EDUCATION

The State Board of Education,
convinced Of the imperative need

the Commonwealth, especially that
Of labor on the farm and in the
garden, urges upon the teachers,
school officials and the great army
of pupils who have talent or capac-
lity for services of any type, the
patriotic duty of making their con-
tribution in this hour of National
Need. Since Kentucky is an agri-
cultural State and there is scarcity
of help on the farms and since the
school code provides that directors
and teachers may excuse the alb
sence of pupils for urgent reasons,
therefore,
BE TT RESOLVED, That in the
opinion of the State Board of Edu-
cation during the present crisis
the need is imperative that every
one without stint render some SER
vice for the Commonwealth and
Nation,
That teachers and trustees organ
ize every school district into an eff
ficient force to aid in every possible
way the Nation in its fight for
righteousness and humanity.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That the pupils in the public schools
above the age of twelve years,
whose standing is such that there
would be no question of their pro-
motion or graduation and who may
be regularly engaged in agriculture,
shall have these facts considered
in lieu of the full completion of the
terms work. This provision to APP
ply only to the work of the terra
ending June, 1917.
Teachers, pupils, trustees and all
school officials are urged not only
by precept but by example, to devel
op in their districts the highest
degree of patriotism, so that every
one may be impelled to do his bit
in this time of great stress, from en-
listing to go to the front, to neces-
sary service of raising food pro-
ducts to sustain not only our army
but the population that must needs
remain at home, thus enabling
Kentucky to maintain the proud
position in the Nation of being sec
ond to none in the discharge of her
patriotic duty.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
That the State Board of Education,
through its proper officers, conluct
careful survey Of the industrial
and agricultural schools of the
State for the purpose Of ascertain
ing in what way they may contrib
ute most efficiently through their
equipment machinery and products
during the continuance of the pres
ent war.
