Druggists Here Have Something
 New for Colds
Applied Externally, the Body Heat Releases Ingredients
 In Vapor Form.
COLDS GO OVER NIGHT
 GROUP IN 15 MINUTES
The Manufacturers Have Au- thorized the Local Druggists to Sell Any of the Three Sizes, 25c, soc, or $1.OO, on 30 Days Trial.

Since it's introduction here a short time ago, the new treatment for cold troubles, known as Vick's VapoRub, has aroused a great deal of interest among local people, especially among mothers with small children.
 Local druggists report that num- bers have taken advantage of their 30 days trial offer to see if 25c jar of VapoRub really will relieve these troubles externally, without having to "dose" with nauseous internal medi- cines.
 For aroup, coughs, chest colds, sore thrvat or bronchitis, apply VapoRub well over the throat and chest, cover ing with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the. covering loose around the neck so the vapors arising may be freely in haled.
 In addition, VapoRub is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, talk ing out that tightness and soreness in thee hest. For head colds, catarrh, hay fever. or asthmatic troubles vapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in a snoon and the vapors inhaled. You have, to try this treatment to realize it's remarkable effect in all l cases of cold troubles.-Adv.

HEAVY LOSS TO HUNS REPORTED
 IN YPRES DRIVE Suffered Most Severe and Costly Repulse Since
 March 21 Offensive.
ENEMY'S FAILURE
 IS HELP TO ALLIES
Commentators Give Out Warning Against Optim-
 ism in Press Reports.

London, May 1.---The failure of the German attacks southwest of Ypres on Monday, with dts immense losses to the enemy, is commented on here in a more hopeful and more confident tone which is in marked contrast with some recent comments on news of the progress of the German advance to- ward the channel ports.
 The consensus of opinion is that the enemy on Monday suffered the most severe and costly repulse since he be- gan his offensive on March 21 and it is contended that if the terms of vic tory and defeat are applicable to sin gle phases of such prolonged battle, then the Allies on Monday won a very substantial victory.
 Comparison is made between the present operations and the French defense of Verdun and the opinion is expressed that the German experience on the Verdun front is repeated in their effort to capture the group of hills southwest of Ypres. The enemy failure up to this time to achieve his object, and especially his bloody re- pulse of Monday, are regarded gener- ally as a hopeful augury for the fu- ture of the Allied defense.
 Nevertheless, the commentators warn against optimism. They remark that although the enemy has been foiled, it does not mean necessarily that the enterprise has been aband- oned, but rather that it has been sus- pended in favor of an attack at some point where a successful defense l seems less assured.

SUPREME COURT
 GIVES NEW TRIAL TO MRS. GILL|CAN

Hartford, May Mrs. Amy D. Archer Gilligan is to have 8 new trial for her life. Her appeal from the death sentence in the lower court was granted yesterday by the Supreme Court of Errors, thus adding another chapter to a murder case which is without precedent in Connecticut-a ase recalling from history the name of Lucretia Borgia and her career of horror. a case orftshadowing the mo- torious Molineaux case of the recent past.
 The opinion was written by Justice Beach. All the justices concurred in the result; but Justices Roraback and Wheeler dissented from the reasoning of the majority of the court, arriving at their conclusions for reasons other than those given in the opinion. One paragraph in the opinion ap- parently sums up the reasons for the finding of error and the ordering of a new trial in the case. It relates to the fact that although one specific death was chosen by the prosecution to show murder by poisoning, evidence was introduced concerning other deaths, which in the opinion of the Supreme court was inadmissible.
