GERMAN RESERVES FAIL TO
STOP ALLIES
Kaiser Throws in More Troops te
Prevent Foch From Trapping
the Boches.

Although the Germans are employ
ing fresh forces of reserves in efforts
to hold back the allied troops who are
pressing them from the region OF the
Somme to the Disc, the American,
British and French armies continue
to make progress according to Asso-
ciate Press dispatches.
Monday witnessed gains of ground
at various points along the battle
front of high importance for the
further prosecution of the endeavors
of the allies to drive out the Germans
from the old Amiens Montdidier sec
tor.
After an extremely bitter contest
the Americans and British have
gained foothold in the important
little town of Bray-Sur-Somme, on
the northern bank of the Somme. "A
short distance across the river to the
south the British have taken Proyart
and midway of the line have pressed
on to the east of Fouquescourt in
maneuver which has resulted in the
further outflanking of Chaulnes from
the south and OF Roye from the
north.
On their part the French in the
rolling country Immediately north OF
the Oise River have captured Curry,
position of great strategic value, iy-
ing southwest of Lassigny, and at
several other points southward to the
region of the Disc have advanced
their line further toward .Noyon. ..
In Mondays fighting hundreds OF
additional Germans were made pris-
one rand the enemy also lost heavily
in men killed or wounded. Unoffi-
cial reports give the number of Ger
mans captured during the present OF
fensive as in the neighborhood OF '4o,-
600.

The first woman cooks in the Britt
ish army were employed in August!

The economy resulting from the en-
ployment of woman cooks has been
very marked. In one large officers
camp the daily messing charge was re-

cents day to 81 cents, and in add.
ton, fund Of $500 was saved for mis-

Life is dark--not worth much to the
man or woman with an acid-stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition,
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength
of the strongest body-impoverishes the
blood-causes untold suffering makes
millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-
mature old age.
Millions of people are weak and UNFIT,
suffering all the time, in one way or an
other, from superacidity or acid-stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak,
listless, dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable; lack pow
er and punch, frequently have severe
attacks of binding, splitting headaches;
subject to fits of melancholia and men
tai depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out of order. even though
many experience no actual stomach
pains-digestion poor-never getting
anywhere near the full strength from
their food.
So, you see, it's just this-acid stom-
ach-that is holding SO many people
back = sapping up the strength they
should get from their food-taking away
their vigor and vitality-leaving them
weak and inefficient.
Get rid of the excess acid. That's
the secret of good health and is the only
way to obtain good digestion and ass1m-
