Expect New Offensive
HENRV Wnnn


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
THE FIELD, April 5:-A violent ar
tillery duel. usually presaging an at
tack, Is under way on the entire front
south Of the Somme. Nevertheless
the Germans apparently plan a vast
ly greater artillery concentration be-
fore risking the main drive before
Amiens. After the original thrust in
the first half of the week the enemy
rushed up many 130 millimetre guns
On Thursday their first 210 millime-
tre appeared. Still heavier cannon
are expected. Indications are plenti-
full that the Germans are preparing a
second offensive elsewhere for which
the French have taken adequate
measures.
Following the decision Of the AM
erican government regarding the use
of its troops the French general staff
declared the American forces will
make their weight felt in the present
gigantic contest.

SOLDIERS OF ITALY
:. TO LEARN TO SPELL
By Henry Wood
Omitted Press Correspondent.

Omitted Press Correspondent
Rome, Oct. 5. (By il.)--Italy is
taking advantage Of the fact that
she has all of her young sons mobi-
lized and under her immediate con-
troll to lessen the percentage of ILL
teracy in Italy.
Previous to the war the large per-
centage of Italians who could not
read and write was not so much due
to the fact that Italy did not have
sufficient educational facilities as to
constitutional objection on a certain
part of her population to being edu-
Gated This was especially the case
with districts in the extreme south
ern portion of Italy.
With all these people under arms
and under military discipline now,
Italy hopes before rehabilitation can
take place to have them all at least
capable of reading and writing.
One Of the last steps to this end
has been an order by the Italian
government for 100000 copy books
and 100000 spelling books. These
will be placed In all of the recrea-
ton rooms that have been set aside
for the use of the soldiers both at
the front and in repose locations.
Other assistance and inducements will
also be offered to the soldiers to see
that the copy books and spoilers are
utilized to the fullest extent.

How Epidemics Start

4 1t might seem that epidemlcs OF
various diseases were born full
tiedged over night. Disease epidemlcs,
however, usually have their source
in one or few isolated cases. Sim
ply because the danger of contag1on
is not recognized or guarded against,
1t spreads rapidly.
Many diseases of this character are
contracted from germs which enter
the nose or mouth. Danger OF in
lection and the further transmitting
of the diseases can largely be pre-
vented by the use Of an antiseptic
gargle or nose spray made by dis
solving two tablespoonfuls OF 20 Mule
Team Powdered Boric in pint Of
hot water. An excellent gargle for
core throat, often the first symptom
of approaching illness, is made by
dissolving one teaspoonful each of
salt and Boric in pint of hot water.

CANTEEN FEEDS
10000 in One DAY
( BY United Press.)

With the American army in
France, Oct. Is. (By Mail. More
than $4,000 American soldiers were
fed at one American Red Cross can
teen along the lines of communica-
ton in France last month, On one
day of that month 10000 passing
troops were given hot coffee and food
to cheer them on their way. This is
record in service for American
troops. ,Ei+&5g -
1t was performed by a squad Of
eight American women and girls.
And, to make their task more diff
cult, they served this food at three
miles away from the other. 5+., r
When the American people show
ed their loyalty and appreciation of
the Red Cross last May by subscribe
ing nearly double the amount of
money asked for, it had a wonderful
effect upon the members, of the Or
ganization in France. They inter-
preted, it as meaning that nothing
was too good or no effort too great
for the fighting men of America in
Europe. .t"-5
So, from the seaports to the battle
front, the American soldiers are met
at intervening stations by Red Cross
workers distributing hot drinks, food
and tobacco. The troop trains are
stopped outside of these Red Cross
canteens, and most of them remain
until every soldier has been served.
II train does not pull into the
terminus where the canteen is To-
Gated, the Red Cross workers pile
their food and hot drinks upon a
truck or camionette and hustle it to
the place where the wait of the troop
train is an hour. the soldiers are
served full meal. Last month, g.
900 full meals were served at this
particular canteen.

WHY IS A FORTRESS ?
(By United Press.

With the American. army in
France, Oct. 6. tBy Mail. )--Every-
body wonders what they will do with
the two chains of fortresses across
northern France and southern Ger
many, now that modern warfare has
made them good for practically no.
thing except sights for sightseers.
With the American advance be-
yond St.Mihiel. it is seen the Germans
have given up use of fortresses, eX-
cept as observation posts. Mont Sec.
supposedly a stronghold, had practi-
cally nothing in it. The reason is
plain.
Fortresses mean nothing in the
way of defense except as machine
gun nests. The infantry can go a.
round them, however, and with gas
and artillery and other means of in
fiuencing holders of fort sieges would
be, short.
They don't even put guns in fort
resses any more, and probably the
former formidable structures on fiat
hills surrounded by meats soon will
be used only as relics of olden days

TO AVOID AND RELIEVE
INFLUENZA
By DR.. Franklin Duade.


Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or, heard Of
influenza. The more you fear the
disease, the surer you are to get it..
Go right about your business and
forget it. AS the disease is spread
principally by contact thru sneezing,
coughing or splitting, many health
authorities have advised that every
one wear a gauze, which is daily
washed and saturated with one to
five hundred solution of zinc sulphate
in water, and then dried before wear
ing over the nose and mouth. You
should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep
your strength up by taking lots of
exercise in the open air and plenty
of nourishing food,
If you have any of such symptoms
as chilhness, nasal Instructions,
flushed, face, headache, feverishness,
restlessness, weakness, or irritating
cough, give up work at once and go
to bed. This will save your strength
to help overcome the disease. Put
your, feet in hot water for fifteen
minutes. Thoroughly loosen the
irritating physics as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally
of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty Of clothes in bed so as
to get good sweat. When sweating
is free and the fever reduced take
dose of two Anuric Tablets every four
hours, followed by drinking at least
a glass or two of hot water. Anuric
Tablets help quickly to relieve the
soreness of the muscles and bones
from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the
poisons. ~ <& e.. -. - 2, - g. r. =
I To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
a. mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as
DR.. Sage's Catarrh, Remedy. 1t will
give great relief. Employed as a
gargle,s in same strength as made up
for use in the nose, and as hot as
can be borne, it quickly arrests sore
ness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients re-
sistance to disease, so that there Is
danger of bronchitis and pneumonia
developing. To combat this tendency
and fortify the patients strength in
sist that he keep in bed at least two
days. Probably nothing will at this
stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen the patient more than an
iron-tonic tablet called 'Irontic" or
that well known herbal tonic, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands in
the past two generations. -.

STATE SETS RECORD It.
In POULTRY RAISING
Especial to The Pioneer.)


St. Paul, Nov. S. - Minnesota is
one of six states to go over the TOP
in poultry production this year. This
does not mean that. there is ire
mendous increase in the stock of
turkeys, chickens and eggs on hand
but it does mean that, working
against great odds, the Minnesota
farmers have responded SO gener-
ously to the food administrators
appeal for increased poultry produc-
ton that Minnesota today holds an
honored position in the country in
this phase of food returns. ~
:'ooThe help given the nation in this
production by the farmers of Min
nesota has been remarkable" says
w. e. Stanfield, United States repre-
sentative to Minnesota on poultry
production. 1.-THE result is that Min
nesota rapidly is developing into the
great poultry center of the country.
Seventy-five per cent of our market
is shipped to the east and on the
New York market the Minnesota eggs
have the reputation of being the
largest and hardest shelled Of the
eggs produced in the country. This
is because of our good grains, OF
course. Moreover the poultry pro-
ducers in the state are rapidly doing
away with the ordinary hen. She
lays only some sixty eggs year
whereas the pure-bred hen-such as
the White Leghorn--lays from 40
to $50. At Barnum, where 95 per
cent of the hens of the locality are
White Leghorns, there are thirty
thousand of these hen patriots--the
largest colony Of them in the universe
I guess"
