AND IT is EASY TO DO
A Little More Complicated Than Turn
Ing Them Forward In Spring,
on Account Of Striking
Method.

Next Sunday morning at o'clock
is the time to turn your clock back
exactly one hour.
That Is two hours after midnight
on Sunday morning. Most people
will attend to this semi-annual duty
when they get UP on the Sabbath
day, or the last thing before they go
to bed Saturday evening This is
all right for family clocks which are
not used during the night.
81 hope we won't have a repetition
of the funny business Of last spring,
when some of the public clocks were
changed late in the afternoon hours
before they should have been." said
a citizen today. ct is just as wrong
to change the clock at supper time as
it IS to do it a day or two late or
early. Last spring on that evening
We had town clocks reading all sorts
Of ways, because custodians chose
to turn them up at different hour
from that fixed by congress. If the
custodians can't get up at 2 o'clock
in the morning for awhile twice a
year, let them wait until midnight
at least before making the change.
This doing it right will prevent
much confusion
Do Not Neglect to Do IL.
The day and hour is fixed by act
Of congress. Railroads have issued
orders for the change on the dot at
that time. The day and hour were
fixed at 2 o'clock Sunday morning
because at that hour there are fewer
railroad trains on the lines than at
any other time of the week.
There will be no change in the
law. One of the kind of men that
is always cogitating something new
and different got interviewed In the
papers awhile ago and suggested
that two and half pounds of coal
could be saved IL the clocks were
left where they are. Nobody really
paid any attention to him except
newspaper men looking for the
bizarre as change from war news
Everybody must attend to his own
clock next Sunday morning.
How to Turn 1t Backward.
A Chicago jewe1er that nobody
ever heard OF before got friendly
reporter to print his dictum that It
would ruin clocks for the owner to
turn them back himself, and that
all clocks ought to be taken to an
expert jeweler to be turned back.
IL anybody has a clock of the
marine chronometer type, he had
better do that But the owners of
the common garden variety of clocks
need not fear to turn them back
themselves.
The easiest way Is to move only

The town Of fishes, Germany's great

French official communication. The
French also have crossed the Vesle at
several points.
German achievements are reported
arriving In the scissors sector from
the north. The allies continue their
advance according to latest advices,
although 1t is held within prudent
limits. The allied left wing has moved
faster than the right and further pro-

Allied forces in pursuit of the Ger

ROASTED BEER A POISON.

Beer is a chemical combination Of
sugars, starches, extractiye matters
and yeast ferments, in process OF
continuous change. This Is COM
pick, chemical process which begins ON
the outside, and continues in the stom-
ach."
The boosted claim that beer is a
food and gives vigor and strength is
contradicted by statistics.
''If beer had any food elements and
were a tonic, exact measurements and
studies of statistics would confirm 1t,
but the evidence from these sources Is
entirely the opposite. The congested
face, bloated body and dullness of
body and mind are the best evidences
of the poisoning and degeneratiye pro-
cesses going on. There can be no con-
flict of opinions on tits, because 1t can
be measured and stated In mathemati-
cal terms, regardless of theories.
"Beer is a most insidious poison be-
cause it produces other poisons, and
starts new processes of degeneration
that are unknown until the final col
lapse reveals them. The beer drinker
dies early from diseases of the heart
and kidneys."-T. ID. Crothers, M. ID.

AMERICANS SWIM THE OURCQ
The Only Way to Cross Since Every

With the Americans on the Ourcq.-
The American troops, fighting their
way northward, continue fording and
swimming the Ourcq. 1t is the only
way to cross the stream just at pres
emit, since every bridge is under con-
tinuous German shell fire.

young lieutenant from Des Moines, la.
Don't worry about food or ammuni-
ton. We have captured enough from
the Germans in the way of rations, ma
chine guns and cartridge belts to keep
us going for quite while"
With Americans on Aisne-Marne
Front THE American troops pushed
forward their lines at certain points
on the center of the scissors
salient Notwithstanding the resistance
of the Germans, who did not give
ground on some sectors until they
had been shot from their positions.
The Germans are desperately cling
ing to their strongholds at Nesles and
in the Bots Meuniere, northeast of
Roncheres, but the Americans have
gained hold on the northern edge of
the Meuinere wood. Nesles forest is
under range of American heavy guns.
