The readers OF this paper win be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces Of the System thereby destroying
the foundation OF the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The praprietors have so much
faith in the Curative bowers Of HALLS

Tommy who marched to the front
along the road TO Bapaume raised his
wondering eyes to the Madonna high
above his head and few there were
of any denomination who failed to
find in its strange attitude a species
Of benign benedlctiOn. At last, during
those black days of last March and
April, the seemingly impossible hap
pened. The British line bent before
the fury Of a German assault, aided
as 1t was by Iong-continued fog, and
the Hun was once again in Albert.
When the British retired the statue
was still intact, but, whether by ac-
cIdent or design is not yet known, the
Germans brought down the tower, and
with IT fell the virgin and child. And
here comes the strange part of the
story, to which latest development
public attention is now directed for
the first time. Hardly a yard farther
did the German advance progress.
From that day onward the green
gray hOrdes were pressed back, slowly
at first, but with an ever-inGreasing ce-
lerity which finally developed to a
rOut.
In a word the luck of the Huns
deserted them when the Virgin Of Al
bert was dethrOned. From being the
trucuIent cOnquerOrs Of nearly all Eu-
rope they were forced to their knees
whining for mercy. The foregoing
facts cannot be gainsaid. Viewed in
retrospect they form one of the most
curious and interesting episodes of
the greatest of all wars.
