Rainbow Division
First Into Sedan

Paris, Nov. 8-Men from the Amer
lean Rainbow Division. first to see ac-
ton in France, yesterday entered the
western outskirts of Sedan, famous
in the military history of the country
in which the final battles of the world
war are now being fought.
Aside from the sentimental aspect
of their victory, the American
achievement has great strategic i'm
portance, since these troops, with the
French units fighting with them, now
control the lateral railways leading
from France into Germany. The
advance to Sedan shuts off the Ger
man retreat eastward.
The American advance to Sedan
was made in the face of desperate re-
sistance. The German machine gun
ners fought as If they had never
heard of peace talk, holding to their
nests in many instances until they
were killed or blasted out by the
American artillery. In rear guard
actions machine gunners fell back into
a series of fox holes and dugouts, al
we'll supplied with cartridges, tbs
rear guard fighters carrying theil
guns from trench to shelter until shot
OF taken prisoner.
After an all day struggle In the
dense woods and hills the American:
late yesterday reached the most east
erly heights of the Mouse. dominat
ing miles of open country north O
Domvillers, the Germans literally hav
ing been pushed out of every foot o
ground.

OUR CLOTHES IN WAR TIME

Now that women feel it duty to
dress inexpensively, authoritative
fashion advices keeping this end in
view are especially valuable. Good
Housekeeping for November publish
es some interesting information.
The coats of the new suits are fin
ger-tip length, that is, length which
Is level with your fingers when your
arm hangs at your side. The belted
models, which we have had for some
years, are still shown, and many are
pretty, but far smarter in appearance
are the coats without belts. They are
semi-fitted in line, and may be with
or without fur. Smartest of all, per-
haps, is the boX-like coat which drops
from the shoulder to below the hips.
The skirts are invariably simple and
scant, but of a comfortable walking
width. Oddly enough the Paris do
signers have made them short, while
the American designers are making
them from two to four inches long
er. The well-dressed American wom-
an is wearing neither extreme, but
on the contrary, comfortable, good.

To Avoid and
Relieve Influenza
BY DIE FRANKLIN DUANE.

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 princi-
pally by contact through sneezing,
coughing or splitting, many health au-
thorities have advised that everyone
wear a gauze, which is daily washed
and saturated with a one to five hun
dred solution of zinc sulphate in
water, and then dried before wearing
over the nose and mouth. You should
avoid crowds, common drinking 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 chilliness, 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 1 5 minutes.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with
some such mild and non-ir irritating
physic as DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pei
let's. Drink principally Of hot lemon
ade and then cover up with plenty of
clothes in bed so as to get a good
sweat When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take a dose of two
Anuric Tablets every four hours, fol-
lowed by drinking at least a glass or
two of hot water. Anuric Tablets
help quickly to relieve thes oreness of
the muscles and bones from which
most patients complain and help the
kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
! probably nothing is better than such
mild soothing, antiseptic wash as
| DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
| give great relief. Employed as a
| gargle, in same strength as made up
for use in the nose, and as hot as can
be borne, it quickly arrests soreness
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 we'll known herbal tonic, DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which has been used by thousands in
| the past two generations.-Adv

looking length between the two.
The long coats to be worn over
dresses are quite as smart as suit. 1t
is now question Of personal prefer
ence or convenience whether to re-
place the suit by a long coat. The
coats Of this winter have, for general
street wear, lost the appearance of
the top-coat, Notwithstanding the fact
that many of them are loose. In
some instances they are in dolman
cut, and in others almost cape-like,
for the cape wrap is quite a distinct
feature for wear during this, our war
winter.
Materials in both suits and coats are
velours, velvets, duvetyns, and in less
expensive models a material called
silvertone is attractive. The Oxford
grays are being shown in the more
tailored styles. and are more attrac-
tive when made on severe lines to be
worn with separate fur.
The fact that tailored dress may
be worn under the long coat is max
ing the long coat particularly desir-
able this year, and dress IS invari-
ably better looking than shirtwaist
and skirt. Where women are not in
