Paris, July 23.-Reports Of the
fighting in the Soissons- Rheims
salient appearing in the Paris news
papers tell Of fires burning at Fere-
en-Tardenois and Ville-en- -Tarde-
nois. Some Of these were, no doubt
caused by bombs dropped by the al
lied aviators, but Il Is believed that
the enemy is destroying stores that
cannot be moved back Of the Ger
man defensive line along the Vesle
river.
F'ere- en- -Tardenois is near the
west flank of the salient, while Viii
LEI Tardenois is further east and
Is quite near the allied lines south
west Of Rheims. The burning of
stores in both places may be an in
dication Of a general retirement
from the salient by the Germans.

half the babies born died the first

first year. Still this rate is much too
high.
Note first, that:
Ten Bottle-Fed Babies Die to Every
One that Dies when the Mother
Nurses the Baby. In other words, bot
tle-fed babies have only one-tenth the
chance to live that breasted babies
have.> So nurse your baby by all
means, if possible. 1t is a crime not
to do so. Feed the paby regularly
and not every time it cries.
Battle the baby two or three times
a day during hot weather.
Give baby pure water to drink sew

THE MAN WHO SHOULD NOT
BUY COAL

The following is a list of people

The gentleman who has been in
formed by the court that he is to be
neatly hanged on the 23rd Of Sept.
The householder who knows that
his house is going to burn down be-
fore October /.
The fellow who has been assured
by his doctor and minister that he
will soon be where the heat is free.
The man who will have his resi-
dence astride of the equator from
September to June.
The party who had IL tons of coal
or 20 cords of wood left over from
last winter.
The husband who has arranged to
spend the winter with his wife's rela-
tions.
The man who belongs to a nice
warm club and had decided not to
go home at all hereafter.
Editors who advertise that they are
in market for spring poetry.
Hardy mariners in training to ac-
company Peary on his next dash for
the pole.

leaving no one in the rear
Pessimists desiring something that
will take their minds off their own
troubles.
Wife's relations who have arranged

Malefactors Of great wealth who
expect by that time to have got what

Manufacturers operating breweries
But persons other than these we
urgently advise to lay in their supply
of fuel, because winter has yet
missed a date with the world, and it
is always much colder in the winter
than in the summer.

Rheumatic? Rheun 1t Isn't
A BOARD 1rt1EALTH

It has taken the medical profession
Just 2,400 years to discover that, after
all, there is no such disease as rheu-
matism.
And it follows that the weather
can't cause a disease that doesn't ex.
list.
Worse still, 1t is plain that if there
isn't such a disease, your rheumatism
medicine can't cure it.
But what interests the victom of
joint disease is, What in Sam Hill is
the matter, thea, if it isn't the rheu-
matiz?
Well, let's try to get 1t clear.
Granted that the acute inflammatory
trouble known as rheumatic fever
or "acute articular rheumatism is
caused by germs which invade the
system, usually, from the tonsils. Vic
tins of this atrociously painful and
dangerous malady know that an at
tack often follows shortly after a sore
throat or tonsilitis or quinsy. And the
danger in such attacks is that the
same germs that cause the sore throat
or tonsilitis and the inflammation of
the joints will just take a perverse
course and lodge in the lining of the
heart instead of lodging in the lining
of a joint. When hat happens the
victim has acute endocarditis; and if
the germs happen to set up business
on one of the heart valves, the distor-
ton of the valve resulting from the in
Illumination and scar formation there is
likely to leave permanent valvular
leakage-a lifelong handicap.
But all these old chronic joint trou-
bles labeled rheumatism" what are
they?
They are various kinds of joint in
lection, with various species of germs,
and the germs get in, not only from
the tonsils, but from several other in.
nocent-appearing sources as well. They
get in from trifling infected gums, old
and painless assesses about the roots
of the teeth, old inflamm&tory condi-
lions in the pelvic organs of women
and men, old running ears, chronic
trouble in the air spaces in the skull
accessory to the breathing passages,
and in some cases even from such I'M
suspected places as i%ngrowing nails
This has all been worked out and scien-
tifically proved; the germs have been
caught in the act, arrested and iden.
titled.
The way to cure that old "rheuma-
tism,' then, is to find the depot OF
poison. and destroy it or clean it up.
