Summer COMPLAINT.

During the not weather of the
summer months some member of al
most every family is likely to be
troubled with an unnatural looseness
of the bowels, and it is of the great
est Importance that this be treated
promptly, which can only be done
when the medicine is kept at hand.
Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsville, N. Y,
states, II first used Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy as much
as five years ago. At that time I
had a severe attack of summer COM
plant and was suffering intense pain.
One dose relieved me. Other MEM
bers Of my family have since used 1t

Try This on the Judue.

Automobile speeders, caught in the
act and hailed to court, certainly make
the most magnificent liars. Every one
of them invents new excuses, which
actually smashes some well-known ira
dition. Can you imagine n man who
had stepped on the gas until 1t regis
tered 40 declaring that he did it for
one purpose only, and that was to hur-
~ to his mother-in-law's home? Court
attendants and spectators who heard
this unmarried-man-like admission,
gripped the railing to keep from fall
ing. ''That may sound funny, your
honor" explained the speeder, shut it
is true" And then he proceeded to
make a second admission only slightly
less startling than the. first. II helped
my wife dry the dishes, and that's
what delayed me-" Of course, the
magistrate laughed right out, said
something about idea1 state of do
mesticity and permitted the road
burner to get away with it. He was
told to go and speed no more.

Was HeaTthfuI Winter.

Now that it is passed the winter
which we had slapping us in the face
for many months is coming to be
studied. The scientists are after it.
and making their deductions. The
medical people especially are looking
at it from the angle of health. The
statistics point to the fact that 1t was
q healthful winter. There was less of
sickness during the cold weather, and
Immediately following it, than is usual
ly the case in the winter months.
There were fewer epidemics and not
nearly so much sickness in general.
If the statements of the scientists
could be summed up they would show
that while the winter caused a great
deal of suffering, due to shortage of
fuel and lack of transportation, it was
really good winter-and beneficial

Serenity of Labor.

Latimer recalled the wonder that
always possessed him when he stop
ped to peer down into excavations
where men CROPPED about in a crazy
network of mains and conduits, or
when he looked up to the steel Orders
swinging into place on the new sky
scrapers. Only now and then would
he catch sight of heavy sledge in
play, or the heave of muscles. AS a
rule, men moved about in the tangle
of cloaca as if engaged in an elabo-
rate mfnuet. He saw men poised on
the end of a steel beam go through a
graceful calisthenics, with a measured
wave of the arm, now this way, now
that way, 80 stories above the side
walk. Yet the subways got them
selves dug, and the pavements were
laid-and torn up again-and the sky
scrapers grew a couple of stories over
night.-From the Atlantic.

Rationinc Leads to Fads.

The bread-ticket decree, just like the
rule prohibiting the serving Of sugar
in cafes and restaurants, has re-
suited in the .contrivance of numer-
Gus fads, writes a Paris correspondent.
One man is known to have become
rich in one month by manufacturing
a handy receptacle for the carrying of
four Jumps of sugar. Thousands of
Parisians bought the little boxes and
carried their own sugar with them to
the cafe.
Now the rage is pocket scissors.
Bread tickets are issued on single
card, each days ration being marked
out in one-inoh square, dated and
stamped with the quantity. The re-
suit has been confusion in the restau-
rants when the waiter demands the
ticket. A man introduced a handy
pair of scissors, and now everybody is
buying scissors. Even the high-clasS

BRITISH ARMIES
sweep HUNS BACK
Battle Develops Into One Of
Greatest Of the War.
HAIG CAP TURES THOUSANDS
The French Forces Continue Their
Successful Drive Along the Disc
and Ailette

Dispatches direct from the scene
of the British offensive in France de-
clare that two armies under Generals
Byng and RawlinsOn. are winning an
impressive victory. They are still
advancing and intiicring enormous
losses on the Germans.
There is great confusion behind the
German lines.
Marshal Haig's offensive in northern
Picardy has developed into one of the
greatest battles of the war, and the
Germans are throwing in fresh divis-
ions to avert disaster on their whole
northern front.
From ArraS to I.ihonS. below the
Somme. the British are smashing for
ward on a front of almost thirty miles,
capturing towns, prisoners and booty.
A brilliant tactical scheme is being
unfolded. according to a correspondent
with the British army. The drawing
of German reinforcementS into the
battle is expected TO be followed by
new blows elsewhere by the allies.
Meantime, on the southern front of
thirty miles along the Disc and Ailette
General Mangin continues to advance.
On Wednesday and Thursday the
French took 5000 prisoners.
