Few Escape

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any serious
consequences. Take Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and observe the direc-
tons with each bottle, and you are
likely to be one of the fortunate ones.
The worth and merit of this remedy
has been fully proven. There are
many families who have always used
it for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very best
results.

OLD AGE STARTS

Science says that old age begins with
weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and di

Under this outside pressure King ferdl-

of the war against Germany INTO luke
warm and vacillating opportunist and
finally into distinct peace advocate.
This is a time when kings must stick

which was sweeping eastern Europe. lie

design to push toward Paris throwing

line al the maximum point of advance,

In this lac has been materially aided 10y

French artillery was at first unable to

The enemy further succeeded in widen
ing the point Of his wedge by bringing up
two divisions Of the Guards and two
Bavarian divisions borrowed from the
army group of Crown Prince Rupprecht.
These troops captured the villages OF
Merry, st AIaur and Belloy, giving him a
plateau behind which he can mass troops
partially screened from observation by
the French.
If the danger to the French IS IN losing
ground that is valuable as room IN which
to maneuver, the German peril lies III
the human Wastage that Is IN progress
The German army rs a whole has been
engaged for the past three months with
slight facilities for renewal. The balance
seems to be in favor of the French.
The resistance that is being offered by
the French forces in this battle has not
been surpassed for determination during
the whole war. Thus one little group
of dismounted Cuirassiers at Piemont,
where, almost surrounded, il beat of
fourteen German attacks, contributed
largely to the checking of the German
advance.

had to pay.
