In healthy man they wouldn't have begun to do this until 40 years or more. If they kept on at the rate they were going they would be stiff before many years. 'Pipe-stem" arteries he called them That meant disturbance in the circulation that had already begun and had already threatened my heart. More than that, these defects in circulation had thrown heavier burden upon my kidneys.

His skull was crushed and he received several bruises about the body.
 Officer w. E. Kincheloe reported the ac- cident and placed Mir Jackson under bond.

Germans Continuing To Hurl Themselves
 Against Haig's Line

With the British Army in France, April H-This morning found the British hold ing firmly in the critical Bailleul- Merville sector after night of the most intense fighting, during which numerous heavy enemy attacks were repulsed and the in- vaders were driven from Robecq by a counter stroke.
 The Germans today were continuing to drive forward in masses against the de- lending positions which block their way to Hazebrouck. with its railway lines, but at the latest reports the British lines
 had not wavered in the face of the ter rife onsaughts by superior numbers. While no one could predict the out come of the fierce battle now raging, the British positions this morning seemed more firm and settled than at any period since the Germans began their onslaught west of Armentieres.

 IOWA WINS FLAG
 Late reports to the treasury indicate that Iowa, and not Oregon, was the first state to oversubscribe it's quota and win the honor flag, and that Toledo, O., is en- titled to the honor of being the first city in the class between 10000 and a50. . 0Q0 population to oversubscribe Portland Ore, is second in the latter class. Efforts are being made in every sec- tion to get large numbers of subscribers even TOT small amounts. Everywhere it is recognized" said the treasury's review. that the moral effect of having the largest possible mum Der of individual subscriptions cannot be overestimated'
 M'ADOO SENDS MESSAGE Secretary McAdoo. who is campaigning in the south, has sent this telegram to the 47 communities which tied for the honor of being the first in the United States to subscribe their quotas: Please convey to your citizens my warm congratulations upon the renewed evidence of their loyalty and patriotism. They have demonstrated the true spirit of patriotism.
 II earnestly hope that the efforts will not be diminished and that they will continue buying Liberty Bonds to the ex- tent of their ability to the last day of the campaign. It will not be enough to subscribe to this loan. It should be heav- lily oversubscribed. We must send a message to the German Kaiser that the people of America are ready to back to | tho limit of their resources their heroic soldiers and sailors who are risking and giving their lives that free America may triumph over despotic military govern ment and that peace may be restored to the world upon the stable basis of Justice and liberty"

 overdue. as no radio communication with or trace of her has been had since leaving the West Indian port The weather in the area in which the vessel must have passed has not yet teen bad and could hardly have given the Cyclops trouble While raider or submarine could be responsible for her loss. there have been no reports , that would indicate the presence Of either in the locality in which the Cyclops was.
 Tt was known that one of the two engines of the Cyclops was injured and that she was proceeding at re- duced speed with one engine com pounded. This fact would have no ef- feet on her ability to communicate by radio, for even if her main engines were totally disabled the ship would still be capable of using her radio | plants.
