Cause of Headache.

By knowing the cause, a disease may
often be avoided. This is particularly
true of headache. The most common
cause of headache is disordered stom-
ach or constipation, which may be cor
rected by taking few doses of Cham.
berlain s Tablets. Try it. Many others
have obtained permanent relief by tax
ing these Tablets. They are easy to
take and mild and gentle in effect.

FOOD VALUE OF COCOANUTS
Both the Meat and the Milk Are Used
in Countries Where They Are
Grown.

Among the foods which are lately
beginning to be appreciated is the
cocoanut; as 1t has q remarkably high
food value combined with delicious
flavor, 1t lends itself admirably to
variety Of uses for the home table.
The fresh cocoanut is valued not
only for the meat, but also for the
milk which fills the center of the nut.
This milk is used-more particularly
in the countries where the cocoanut is
grown-tO great advantage in soups
and sauces The "cream" Of the fresh
cOcoanut, which may be extracted by
grating the cOcOanut meat and wash
ing in water can be used as substi-
tute for butter, or even olive oil; in
tropical countries this Oil serves many
household purposes. The refined fat
has recently been receiving attention
and promises to become generally
used cooking fat.
Unfortunately, however, the cocoa
nut has, in common with other nuts,
been looked upon as being more or
less indigestible. A good authority
says that this is not due to the cocoa
nut itself, but to the unwise use of 1t.
In other words, 1t should not be looked
upon as an adjunct to meal, but as
a part OF the meal itself. 1t Is the ex-
cess of food which may cause diges-
tive disturbances, and, If it is eaten
raw, cOcoanut should be thoroughly

Paris, July 22.-trhe German press
is realizing that the Marne Champagne
offensive has ended in disaster One
paper says:

trayed our offensive plans. We must

General Foch managed to form a

Frankfurter Zeitung, and is now try
ing by a powerful counter offensive to
snatch the initiative from the German
army.
But the paper questions whether the
tremendous expenditure Of fighting
strength the counter offensive involves
may not prove a bad mistake for the
French army, and believes that Gen
eral FOch's attack Is not merely a re-
ply to the German attack on either
side of Reims, but aims at thwarting
the German plans, and that by attack
ing with reserves he Is seeking to
snatch the trumps from the German
army command.

WHY FRANCE FEEDS WHEAT

France never did produce all the
was about 80 per cent of the normal
consumption. In 1917 the production
was but As per cent of the normal pro
ductiOn.
After deducting the amount neces-
Sary for seed, it is estimated that the
1917 production will be one-third
Frances needs.
France cannot economic on food as
much more than usual as we can In the
United States because her food con.
sumption has always been very close
to her actual food necessities. They
cannot increase their supplies by war
gardens, for most of them are in the
habits Of growing their own garden
supplies, and they are famed for their
careful household management
Last year France kept her food sup,
ply (prOduction plus eXpOrtS) up to
Sc per cent of normal This year it has
fallen to between 60 anl 70 per cent
The rations of the French soldiers
has been cut twice. A soldiers ration
Is never lowered until the danger at
home from food shortage far outweighs
the damage the same lack can do at
the front.
England, who needs food badly, con
siders the French situation so serious
that she shares her scanty supply OF
wheat with France.

Civilians Kiss the Soldiers and Cry
"ViVent Les Americans" in
Their Joy.

With the Americans at the Marne,
July 22.-At 9 80 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, an hour after the Germans had
evacuated Chateau Thierry, we
marched into the city following q
squadron of French dragons and
mounted American troops.
The last four Germans had quit the
town a few minutes previously, and q
quarter of an hour later cavalry round
ed up the quartette. They were tele-
phonists and had been advising the re-
treating Germans by means of hidden
wires regarding the Franco-American
entry into town.
Out Of cellar, as we entered, came
rushing an aged little woman, widow
she was, we learned later, eighty-seven
years old, and loudly thanked God
that the town had been delivered from
the invaders, crying again and again,
"Vivent les Americans p
She rushed up to me and kissed me
on both cheeks. Then a cObbler, nine
ty-fve years old, duplicated this ex-
preston Of joy, afterward asking par
don. Just then q French artillery gen.
eral arrived in an armOred automo-
bile. The aged woman kissed his
hand. He leaned over and kissed her
cheeks.
Immediately a stream Of armored
machines came dashing into the city
carrying three-inch guns and machine
guns. Dragons and lancers came
drawing field guns, which were soon
placed In position on the heights north
Of Chateau Thierry.
In the meantime Americans were al
ready emplacing guns on Hill 204, and
soon the retreating German columns
were under heavy cross-fire, while
French, British and American air.
planes were sweeping low, sending
streams of machine gun bullets into
their ranks. The German infantry is
falling back in an easterly direction.

BILLION DOLLARS IN WAY
Pending Bone Dry Measure Puzzles
Members of Congress-

Members of Congress.
Washington, July 22-A billion dol
lars stands between congress and ma
tional prohibition for the period Of
the war. 1t is the peoples money to
be raised by taxation to help pay the
enormous cost of the war. The bill
lion can easily be raised by taxes on
whisky, wines and beer. Otherwise,
members Of congress who will vote for
prohibition are frank enough to state
that they don't know where this bill
lion will come from unless consump-
ton taxes are imposed upon some Of
the necessities Of life.
Congress will face the question Of a
billion for booze when the regular ses-
sions are resumed next month and the
members of the ways and means COM
mittee, now framing the new war rev.
enue bill, are ready to report. They
must find way to raise $4,000, ,OOO, 900
by taxation this year.
Take away the billion dollars in
prospect by the enactment Of national
prohibition, putting the whole country
on a bone-dry basis, and members OF
the ways and means committee, who
have been struggling with the matter
for some weeks, say there Is no way
to find the money except under some
scheme Of general taxation that will
fall upon all the people.

u. S. SOLDIERS WADE RIVERS
Throw off Coats and Roll Up Their
Sleeves

Paris, July 22-"The finest thing Of
the combat was the dash of the Ameri-
cans" writes Lieutenant Entraygues,
the special correspondent at the front
for tlre Temps, in describing the open
ing Of the great cOunter-offensive. "It
was a fine thing to see those grand fell
lows, with their tunicS thrown off and
their shirt sleeves rolled up above
their elbows, wading the rivers with
the water to their shoulders and throw
ing themselves on the BOche like bull
dogs. At the sight Of these men, mag
nificent in their youth, physical force,
good temper and dash, the Germans
fled with every leg or surrendered
without waiting the order to throw
away their arms and take off their sus-
penders, which is the first thing a pris-
oner is told to do in order that he may
be compelled to keep his hands en-
plOyed and out of mischief. The Ger
mans hurried toward our lines grip
ping their trousers, haggard and mad
with terror"

Barrlsters and Solicitors.

The English keep up most Of the old
distinction between physicians and
surgeons, barristers and solicitors. A
barrister alone can address the higher
courts and the parliamentary commit
tees; solicitor must keep to Office
work and courts Of first instance. A
man with grievance goes first to his
solicitor, who then iLstructs or briefs
a barrister for him. If that barrister
in the course of the trial wants GER
tain evidence removed from the record
he moves that 1T be struck out and not
stricken out, as an American lawyer
would say
Only barristers may become judges.
An English barrister, just like his
American brother, takes a retainer,
when he is engaged. But the rest Of
his fee does not wait upon the term
ination of his case. He expects to re-
ceive "refresher" from time to time.

counts great hordes OF Germans were
continuing north. Organized resist

dral city, pushing as far as the west
eTn outskirts Of the Bois de COurton
This British advance Is part of the
allied plan to squeeze the Germans out
Of the deep salient between Scissors,
Reims and Chateau Thierry. The fur
ther tightening Of the allied jaw on

bration Of Belgium's Independence day.
All the allied troops displayed flags
and many special services were held.
The Belgian colors flooded every vii
lage back of the lines.
