The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-07-25

The increasing size of the American
casualty list shows that the returns from
the allies counter offensive are beginning
to come in. 1t is up to the people of the
United States not to get panicky over
these casualty lists. Nor should they
place any reliance whatever in the re-
ports coming from German sources Of
extremely heavy slaughter of Americans.
The latter stories are put out solely with
the purpose to undermine the morale Of
the American people, as we have already
stated in these columns, The American
casualty lists are the only true basis for
judgment of the losses sustained by the
Americans, and it is probable that these
lists will be some time in telling the
story, as the names are verified before
being given out to the public. Mean
while we should bear in mind the re.
ports which have come from French
sources that the allies losses thus far
have been comparatively light in com.
parison with those sustained by the en-.
envy. That much can be relied on as
fairly certain.

It is inconceivable that the United
States government, if placed in the posi-
ton of Germany, would begin peace ne
gotiations through the columns of some
American newspaper. knowledge of that
is one reason why the United States gov
eminent does not take any stock in the
present peace furry in Germany which
has come to the light of day through the
columns Of newspaper in Berlin which
has not enjoyed the confidence of the
German government to any appreciable
extent ever since the war started back in
1914.

Liverpool, England, July 25 - When

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take glass Of Salts If your Back hurts
or Bladder bothers you Drink
more water.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with ABDUL misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, t.
cleanse the kidneys and flush oil the
body's urinous waste get four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast for q few days
and your kidneys viii then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid Of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids ia urine,
SO it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, and makes delightful efervescent
iithia-water drink.

DOCTORS ADVISE
SPRING TONES
Say There Is Nothing Equals
Iron and Phosphates.

Experienced Doctors claim that
everyone should take a good tonic in
the Spring, that during the cold winter
months we all eat too much meat,
fats, heavy foods and too little fresh
vegetables, that the entire system is
clogged up, over loaded and over
worked, causing thin, impure watery
blood and that tired, nervous feeling
pimples and bad complexion.
Honest doctors all over the land
have found and are recommending and
prescribing prosphates and iron as
their spring tonic for the blood and
nerves, they say it removes all impur-
tiles. unclogs the channels and sends
the rich, red life-g giving blood through
the veins, renewing health, strength
and nerve force as nothing else will.
If you are all in run down, tagged
out and your nerves all shot to pieces
and the poy gone from life, take
Phosphated Iron, the red blood and
| nerve builder. It will make a new
man or woman of you, make you feel
like doings things again, renews that
youthful feeling, you can almost feel
yourself coming back. Try Phosphat-
ed Iron today, it has helped thousands
| and will not disappoint you.
To insure physicians and their pa
! tients getting the genuine Phosphated
Iron it is put up in capsules only. dc
| not allow dealers to give you pills or
| tablets. Insist on capsules.

the place shambles. Those guns had
caught the Germans in masses, and
made a graveyard Of the spot from
which they had hoped to wrest back
victory from US.
I thought that was the finish Of
France for me.
We went up on to the other ridge
after our guns had cleared the Ger
man trenches, and taking possession
of the place which had been evacua-
ted, we settled down once again to
repel the counter-attacks.
This time, however, we could see
better what Fritz intended to do, and
you bet, we never let him do it. Sever
al times he massed for the attack, but
our guns spoke, and he was scattered
like chaff All the same, he got in
some nasty whacks at US with his own
artillery.
According to Fritz
Some of the experiences I have had
with German prisoners have been of
a somewhat quaint character.
On one occasion I took a remark
ably fine type of German as pris-
oner. He was a well-set-up chap, of
more than average intelligence, and
had very pretty turn of wit. This
was a decided contrast to many whom
came into contact with in France.
This particular chap was very chat
ty I gave him a cigarette, as he
seemed thoroughly decent chap, and
things in general I said to him
Look here, Fritz, when is all this
darned scrap going to end?"
Of course, this was only my way OF
nicking him, but he wasn't having
any. With just the suspicion of q
twinkle in his eye, he replied as quick
as a flash-"Wait and see." 1 was
somewhat taken aback with this re-
ply, SO I asked him where he had
heard the phrase, and he Informed
me that at one time he had been en-
ployed in London, and that he tool
great interest in British politics.
| Germans Mutual Hatred
One thing I have observed amongs
the German prisoners is the intense
hatred that exists among certain sec
tons of them.
For instance, the Prussians and Ba
VarianS hate each other like poison
If we did not prevent them at time!
they would knock the stuffing out O.
each other.
One day, while two of them were
working side by side, they exchanged
some words which, judging by the
glances they threw at each other
must have been of the very hotties
kind Before 1 could intervene, th'
big burly Prussian had dealt the Ba
varian a terrific punch on the jaw

GIRLS! TRY IT!
HAVE TH|CK, WAvY,
BEAUTIFUL hair
Every particle of dandruff
disappears and hair stops
coming out.
Draw a moist cloth through
hair and double it's beauty
at once.

Your hair becomes light, wavy
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft,
Iustrous and beautiful as a young girls
after "Danderine hair cleanse" Just
try this-moisten a cloth with little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil
and in just a few moments you have
doubled the beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping Itch
ing and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fne and
downy at flrst-yes-but~ really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and lots
of it, surely invest few cents in a
bottle of Knowltons Danderine at any
drug store or toilet counter, and just
| try it.
Save your hair! Beautify it! You
will say this was the best money you
ever spent.-Adv.
