SOCIETY IN PICTURE.
Red Cross Women of Palisade,
N j Farm $255 for Fund.

In the new William Fox photo
play. 1.-THE Pride of New York;,
starring George Walsh, there are
pictured fifty-one women who are
actually working for the soldiers.
They belong to the Palisade, N. j.
branch of the American Red Cross
and in becoming "extras" in the
picture earned for the Red Cross
earned S. each.
When Director R. A. Walsh
was preparing for this scene, he
told "Big Jim" Marcus. his as
sistant. to hire fifty women. "Big
jim" went straight to the Red
Cross headquarters at Palisade,
which is near the William Fox
studios at Fort Lee.
Said Jim to the secretary:
~ want about fifty women to
act in a motion picture. It .isa a
picture Of the war, of women do
ing their bit for Uncle Sam.
Now if you women will come up
and do your knitting in the scene
you will get 5 each as extras
You will only have to work. half
an hour or so and you will be able
to add the money to your Red
Cross fund.-
The secretary saw that this was
a big opportunity to swell the
fund and she began buzzing over
the telephone until she had fifty
one promises from women work
ers all Of whom are in society"
in Palisade.
Working in motion pictures
was new to all of them but they
accomplished the "acting" to the
satisfaction of Mr.. Walsh. The
older women did knitting while
the younger ones made bandages,
or were shown the art Of making
them.
One woman, had done Red
Cross work for the Civil War and
the Spanish American fight too.
Her face impressed Mr.. Walsh so
forcibly that he had "close-ups"
Of her taken and the picture.
When You see this thrilling drama
Of life in New York and in the
trenches, you will know how real
Red Cross women are working
to aid the boys who are fighting
to make the world safe for democ-
racy.
The women were delighted also,
particularly with the $255 they
collected for their Red Cross
Fund.

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements Of the bowels.
The most common Of these are
cheese. tea and boiled milk. On
the other hand raw fruits, espec-
tally apples and bananas, also
graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement Of the
bowels. When the bowels are
badly constipated, however, the
sure way is to take one or two OF
Chamberlain s Tablets immediate

4 Hint to the Aged,

If people past sixty years Of
age could be persuaded to 60 to
bed as soon as they take cold and
remain in bed for one or two
days. they would recver much
more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. There would also be less
danger Of the cold being followed
by any Of the more serious dis
eases.

AMERICAN TROOPS HOLD
SECTOR SAFE AGAINST
ASSAULTS.

Another successful maneuvel
10y the Americans on their sector
Of the front is Of the greatest in
terest. As on last Saturday, the
Americans again have nipped in
the bud an impending surprise at
tack on their trenches and taught
the Germans a salutary lesson
with their artillery. In the Ger
man trenches the Teutons were
awaiting the word to go over the
top for an attack, the Americans
opening a heavy fire on the posi-
tions.
Heavy casualties are believed
to have been inflicted on the leu
tons, and considerable damage
was done by the 75s on the Ger
man trenches due to the ac-
curacy of aim Of the American
gunners.
The Germans have not yet been
able to reoccupy the trenches aud
dugouts battered by the American
fire Saturday evening and have
been forced to build another line
of trenches at that particular
point.
German plans to raid the Amer
lean trenches were frustrated
early this morning. The Amerl-
can artillery put down heavy
barrage in front Of and on the
German lines, which are believed
TO have been filled with men and
officers awaiting the signal to at
tack.
It was discovered that at GER
tain hour the Germans intended
to carry out silent" raid. Fiji
been minutes before the time set
all the American guns concen-
trated their fire where, according
to information, the enemy was
massed. 1t is believed heavy cas-
vialties were inflicted on the Ger
mans.
There has. been a general in
crease in the artillery activity
for the last day or so all along
the American front. The Ger
mans are still unable to occupy
the first-line trenches, which were
cayed in by the American artil-
lcry fire. They have now con-
structed another line Of trenches
at that point.
American patrols have worked
their way over. No Mans Land
and inspected the damaged
trenches as well as they could.
The Germans are using gas
shells freely, and endeavored TO
envelope one Of our battery posi-
tions with gas, but without sue
cess. They have dropped a num-
Der of shells in the roads behind
the American lines.
Two men were reported
wounded today by shells. The
visibility remains bad.
Full reports from the first line
show that great courage was ex-
hibited by the troops during the
heavy German bombardment of
Saturday. A number Of men who
were wounded slightly by she'll
splinters were treated in the lines
with their first aid packets. AMI
insisted on remaining at their
post until the fight was finished.
One man who was carried to q
field dressing station returned to
his comrades in the lines after his
wounds had been attended to,
and remained on duty until the
firing ceased. All the men later
went to a hospital for full treat
ment.
Many Of the Americans have
had their first experiences with
gas in the last few days, as the
Germans have been sending over
a considerable number Of gas
shells. None came over this aft |,

1.-THE REASON WHY"

B. A. Thomas Stock Remedies
are the best, they are scientifically
made and all medicine. They keep
the health up, and the feed bills
down. There is a cause for every
effect, remove the cause the effect
removes itself.
The Poultry Remedies are espe.
cially made to relieve all the dis
eases in the Fowl family and makes
the Hens lay.
The Hog Remedy will positive
ly keep off the Cholera, and if gil
ven in the stages, will cure 80 per
cent.
Don't forget to keep on hand q
bottle of Farris' Collie Remedy for
Horses. 1t is SO simple with q
dropper, that a child can give it.
Also a bottle of Farris' Healing
Remedy for Cuts and Bruises on
man or beast, they never fail.
These remedies are all guaran-
teed to you by your dealer, to give
satisfaction, or your money back.
