MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS.

The Ohio County Medical Society
met at DR.. Joe Taylor's Office in Hart
ford Friday. The meeting was for
the advancement of medical science
and for the general good of the order.
The session was devoted largely to
taking stock of Ohio county doctors
and boosting good roads. The in
voice showed but twenty six doctors
engaged in the profession in the coun-
ty. and few of these are not comply
ing with the SO hour law. 1t was
found there was but one doctor per
thousand population. No Ohio coun-
ty young men are in the medical col
leges and when the present supply
of doctors Is used up the good Lord
only knows where the next ones are
to come from. In order to conserve
the present supply and make it hold
out as long as possible II was decid-
ed to make extra charge for night
calls, and calls when the roads were
unusually bad. BY avoiding night
calls the doctors will live longer, and
by charging more when the roads
are bad sick people fall in with auto
owners in a campaign for good roads.
The next meeting of the Society
will be held at Beaver Dam in the
afternoon of July ~. and all the
physicians in the county are urged
to be present.

BUSTED BANK WOUND UP.

The receiver for the Owensboro
Savings Bank and Trust Company
has just made out the last distribu-
tion of the funds to the depositors OF
that defunct institution, which brings
the total up to 14k per cent. This
is the Parish bank, the failure of

Daviess and adjoining counties few
years ago, and for the mismanage-
ment of which James Parish was sent
to the penitentiary.

FARM TRACTORS.

The high price of work animals and
the expense of feeds are resulting in
a wider use of the farm tractor. A
tractor costing about $3.50 will do
the work of six horses and save the
expense of two extra men. There are
now seven of these labor saving de-
vices in use in the county. They are
owned by e. S. Randall, Equality,
j. A. Caldwell, Goshen, G. A. Barnes,
Beaver Dam, Henry Pirtle Hartford,
Iris Render, Centertown, Lon Bar

AMERICANS SWEEP
ENEMY ON Marine
Huns Rushed And Captures
In Material Is Very
Considerable.

With American Forces on Marne.
July 2.-The attack by Americans on
the Vaux positions was so terrific
that they swept right through the
enemy lines and had the object been
to continue the advance they could
have done so with the greatest ease,
as virtually everything before them
was cleared.
So great was the enthusiasm of
the men, that the officers in some
cases had to look sharp to keep
them from going beyond the set OBJ
jectives. 1t is not improbable the
Germans are planning another coun-
ter attack, coming in the dark hours,
and preparations have been made to
meet them.
A vast quantity of material, con-
sidering the size of the operation, is
being taken to the rear, but probably
will not be tabulated for several
days.
In the fighting west of vaux the
Americans stormed several enemy
nests and killed or captured the occu-
pants; then turned the guns the other
way, using them effectually against
the enemy rear areas.
Prisoners taken say that they
marched three hours as fast as they
could when word reached the COM
mander of the enemy battalion in the
rear of Vaux. Observers reported
this morning the Germans were ap-
parently hurrying to bring up REIN
forcements behind the line.
All prisoners questioned expressed
relief at>being captured. One speak
ing excellent English said to an Asso-
ciated Rress correspondent, THANK
the Lord, I'm out of there. The
American artillery smothered us more
than once and the United States in
fantrymen fight like wild devils with
out single fear. But when the fight
is finished they are gentlemen. One
could have killed me, but he did not,

thanks, r - "a N

GREAT CRISIS IN
Store FOR KAISER
Must Abandon West Front
Push To Save Mittel-
Europa.

London, July 1.-The Kaiser to.
day faces his greatest crisis, the big.
gest problem of the war-and he
alone can solve II.
Hindenburg can't help him. Mack
ensin can't help him. Ludendroff
can't help him.
This is the problem:
Shall the west front offensive be
abandoned to save the dream of
world-empire-"M ittel-Europa"
This problem must be solved be-
cause
First-Austrian military collapse
seems imminent on the Italian front.
Second-An ever-increasing Amer
lean army is facing the Hun in
France.
Third-Retreat in Italy may be the
signal for disruption of Australian
gary.
Austrian Drive Failure.
The Austrian drive in Italy has
been without question one of the
wars colossal failures. II holds more
serious consequences for Austria than
did the Battle of the Marine for Ger
many.
Not only that. but II puts Ger
many in a most serious position.
The possibility OF defeat never en-
tiers into the German military plans.
But the Italian armies. aided by
the French and British, now have the
upper hand in the great battle of the
Pave.
Now the foods have caught the
Teutons in a trap between the Piave
and the hard-fghting Italian army.
II is only a matter of time when the
whole Austrian army will be forced
to retreat.
There is only one way this with
drawal can be avoided. That is by the
transfer of hundreds of thousands Of
German soldiers from the western
front to Italy.
Two Horns To Dilemma.
II Germany sends an army to stave
of Austrian disaster, 1t will mean
that the great summer offensive in
Champagne and Picardy will have to
be abandoned.
And with the American army at the
front growing bigger every day, Gen
eral Foch might decide to put into OPP
Grafton this summer or autumn the
great allied drive which is planned for
next year
The critical question is complicated
by the urgent necessity for keeping
Austria in the war. Austria lost
means Mittel Europa lost; the
Kaiser's dream for world empire
,evaporated.
And the food riots in Austria must
be stopped;' the hungry Austrians
must be fed or they will quit the war
regardless of the plans of Kaiser Will
helm and Kaiser Carl.

Kansas Republicans have each year

Topeka Girls Appeal.
The Topeka girl responded to the
toast 1.-The Kansas Girl in Politics"
She appealed to patriotic Kansans to
stand behind their educational insti
tutions during the war crisis and to
give every aid in development of the
best men and women for the recon-
struction period that will follow. Then
with little half apology for the as
sumption of a college girl who would
tell the veterans something of the
game, Miss Albaugh-a native of In
diana-recalled how the Hoosier state
nal plurality of 1900 remained loyal
to the entire ticket. Then she re-
called the Kansas figures of Republi-
can pluralities of 10000 to 10000 and

the nation awaken to a realization Of
it's duty in the present crisis, J. n.
Tincher of Medicine Lodge, president
of the club, told the crowd. Tincher
denied all the patriotism is in the
Democratic party. He criticized the
Democrats for a camoufiage kept US
out of war campaign in 1916 and
won big burst of APPLAUSE when he
called upon President Wilson to rec
ognize the patriotic services of men of
the type of Taft and Roosevelt
Nor did Tincher approve the
Democratic plan of being patriotic by
refusing to nomipate a Republican
ticket in the state or the nation dur

of Kansas would meet the issue
squarely and would carry to the
Democrats the responsibility of de-
ception practiced in the campaign of
two years ago.

Why Chilly Weather
Brings Rheumatism
Says skin pores are closed and
uric acid remains
In blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections, it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all drink lots of pure water
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood 1t is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly,
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid,
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in a glass of water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant. effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is ben
eficial to YOUR kidneys as well.-Adv.
