Counter Attacks REFUSED.

Paris, July 22.-Strong counter at
tacks delivered last night by the Ger
mans along the front between the Ourcq
and the Marine were broken by the al
lies, the war office announced today. The
allies positions are being maintained.
The enemy counter blow was delivered
in the region of Grisolles, seven miles
northwest of Chateau TIL erry and Bezu
ST. Germaine, four miles north of Cha
teau Thierry, north of the Ourcq, be-
tween the Marine and Rheims. The
enemy reaction was limited to artillery
fire. The firing was heavy, notably in
the region of the woods of Courton
and Roi.

DRINK HOT WATER
IF YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
Says we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour lamentations
and poisonous toxins before it is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind a GER
tain amount Of incom bustible material
III the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave in the ali
n3Rntary organs a certain amount OF
in>iigestible material, which il not
eliminated, form toxins and pOisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nOurishment
TO sustain the body.
# you want to see the glow OF
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass Of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means of wash
ings the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
before putting more food into the stOm-
ach.
Men and women with sallow skins,
liver spots, Nmples or pallid COM
plexion, also those who wake up with
a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty
breath, others who are bothered with
headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach
or constipation should begin this phos-
plated hot water drinking and are
assured Of very pronounced results in
one Or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
1hate costs very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that just as soap and hot water
= cleanses, purifies and freshens the
skin on the outside, so hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the inside
organs. We must always consider that
internal sanitation is vastly more i'm
Iortant than outside cleanliness, be
impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.

Brazil and Argentina. Differ
ing in War Attitude, Mu-

Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated rress.
RIO GRANDE DO SUI, Brazil, De-
cember 1.-THE long-standing ill-feel-
ing between Brazil and Argentina. In
herited in part from the ancient rivalry
between their respective Portuguese
and Spanish founders and intensified
by subsequent boundary disputes, has
been famed into fresh flame by the
opposing attitudes the two republics
have take in respect of the war.
Brazil from the first openly favored
the entente allies and became bel
|ligerent against Germany as soon as
the United States entered the war, in
keeping with her traditional friendship
for the United States. Argentina, on
the other hand, has persistently in
sisted that she would remain neutral,
although there have been charges that
the government there has distinct pro-
German tendencies.

FOR SPEEDING sHIPBUILDING,
Shipping Board Sets Aside $780,
600 for Newport News Housing

As means Of speeding up the ship
building program the shipping board
has set aside s1.2Oo.Oo0 from its general
appropriation to provide housing ac-
commodations for workers in the ship
yards at Newport News. The appro-
|priation was made after a conference
between President Ferguson of the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company,
shipping board officials and a special
subcommittee of the Senate commerce
committee, appointed Tuesday to get
quick action on Mr.. Ferguson's request
for money for housing. 1t will be ex-
pended Immediately for 500 homes for
iworkmen.
The Senate committee, investigating
the progress of shipbuilding. was deep
ly stirred by Mr.. Ferguson's testimony
Of housing conditions at his own and
other plants. Shipbuilding cannot be
speeded up. Mr.. Ferguson declared. un-
til housing is provided by the govern
ment. For nine months. he said, he
had been trying to get government Of
ficfals to see tho seriousness Of the
situation.

The Last of the Gray Terror.

Missed" exclaimed Farmer Brown S
Boy as he stepped out of the barn and
looked after Mr.. Goshawk, who was
heading for the Green Forest.
81 was SO afraid of hitting that old
hen that l guess l must have shot over
that fellow and did him no more harm
than to give him good scare. l hope
it will be a lesson to him and teach
him to keep away from my hens and
pigeons. He is a pest and / suppose 1t
would be better if l had killed him,
but somehow I'm rather glad l didn't.
don't like the idea of killing any of
the Green Forest people, not even when
they are pests. That's funny, too, when
think how l used to like to trap and
hunt them. But that was before We be-
came acquainted. Hello! That fellow
flies queerly, l wonder If 1 hit him
after ALL"
Farmer Browns Boy shaded his eyes
with one hand as he watched Mr.. Cos
hawk. Certainly Mr.. Goshawk WASH I
flying as usual. You know he is very
swift of wing, SO swift of wing that
he can catch some of the fastest fiiers
among the birds. But now he was max
| ing hard work of flying. He acted as
! if very, very tired. Into the face of
Farmer Browns Boy crept a look part
| ly anxious. partly sorrowful.
| Now that's too bad." he exclaimed
| II would rather have missed altogether
| than to have wounded that fellow. 1t is
| bad enough to kill, but it is worse to
wound and then leave the wounded to
/ suffer helplessly. l must go straight
after that fellow and put him out of
| his suffering. / can't let him suffer
even if he is a pest"
So Farmer Browns Boy shouldered
his terrible gun and tramped straight
for the Green Forest toward the place
where he had last seen Mr.. Goshawk.
Hardly had he entered the Green For
est when he caught just a glimpse of
Mr.. Goshawk hastily leaving a tree
| just ahead. 1t was only glimpse and
there was no time to shoot. Farmer
Browns Boy kept or and presently
| the same thing happened After that
it happened several times. Farmer
Browns Boy would get near enough
to see Mr.. Goshawk, but that was all.
At last it dawned on Farmer Browns
Boy that perhaps Mr.. Goshawk was not
so badly hurt after all. So at last he
gave up following and turned back
toward home.
Mr.. Goshawk wasn't much hurt. That
is, he wasn't hurt seriously. Enough of
the shot from Farmer Browns Boys
terrible gun had hit him to make him
feel badly for a little while, but they
had not entered deeply enough to make
really bad wounds. You know how
it is when you fall and get bad

To Stop a Persistent,
Hacking Cough
The hest remedy is one you can
easily make at home. Cheap,
but very effective.
s@@sss~ass#asss@e-ss@aa4

Thousands of people normally
healthy in every other respect, are
annoyed with a persistent hanging-on
bronchial cough year after year, dis
turbing their sleep and making life
|disagreeable. It's SO needless-there's
an old homemade remedy that will
end such cough easily and quickly.

of Pinex" coo cents WORTHY, pour it
into pint bottle and fill the bottle
with plain granulated sugar sirup. Be-
gin taking it at once. Gradually but
surely you will notice the phlegm thin
out and then disappear altogether,
thus ending q cough that you never
thought would end. A days use will
usually break up an ordinary throat
or chest cold, and for bronchitis,
Group, whooping cough and bronchial
asthma there Il nothing better. II
tastes pleasant and keeps perfectly.
Pinex Is q most valuable concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and is used by millions
of people every year for throat and
chest colds with splendid results.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for ~z1z ounces of Pinex"
with full directions and don't accept
anything else. A guarantee Of abso-
lutte satisfaction or money promptly
lrefunded goes with this preparation.

around and can think of nothing but
how it aches. Then the ache stops and
you run as well as ever. 1t was much
like this with Mr.. Goshawk and his
wounds.
1t is quite probable that Mr.. Cos
hawk would soon have forgotten both
his hurts and his great fright had it
not been for the persistent way in
which Farmer Browns Boy followed
him into the Green Forest. 1t got on
Mr.. Goshawk's nerves. No sooner
would he make up his mind that at last
he was to be let alone than he would
see Farmer Browns Boy coming with
that terrible gun. The last time. the

Each Suspects the Other.

In each of the two countries opinion
is held that the attitude of the other
indicates ulterior designs in south
America. The people of the state OF
Rio Grande do Sui have been roused
to high pitch by the exposure OF
plans of the Germans there to revolt
against the Brazilian government and
seize at least part of the states terri
tory. Some of them have recently even
gone so far as to charge that, in their
belief, Argentina might attempt in such
an event to win back the old disputed
territory, formerly part of the Argeh-
tine territory of Mssiones. which now
forms part of the Brazilian state OF
Santa Catharina.
The United States arbitrated the dis
pute over this territory, awarding 1t TO
Brazil on the ground that the Brazil
ians had populated it and claimed 1t. py
right of colonization, while the early
Spanish and Portuguese left no docu-
ments showing any division of lands
there. This award is said always 10
have been a sore spot with the Argen-
tines.
