 Germany's hard pressed armies still Waver before the attacks of the AL lies. In central Picardy from the Somme north to Bapaume the enemy is retreating eastward toward St. Quentin. Large numbers of prisoners, many guns and much material are falling into the hands of the British Elsewhere the apparently untiring British, French and American forces are maintaining their pressure against the enemy, who now has lost all his important bases west of the Hinden- burg line except Peronne, Ham and Tergnier. The British now are with in two miles of Peronne on the south east and the French are five miles west of Ham. The important railroad Junction of Tergnier is not threaten ed very seriously, but the French crossing the Ailiette bodes ill
 As the fall of Rove compelled the Germans to retire to the line of the Somme south of PeronnA, the capture of Bapaume by the British made it necessary for the enemy to reterat north of the Somme. Where the enemy will attempt to make a stand AAIA O 10 plOplGHldllCdlt DuL HIS pest line would seem to be that of the Canal du Nord, which runs northeast from Peronne. The canal curves eastward five miles east of Bapaume and crosses the old Hindenburg line near Habrincourt, seven miles east of Bapaume.
 The Canal du Nord extends across the Picardly battle field in a general north and south direction and the fact that the Germans are offering stout resistance to the French south of Peronne, where the canal parallels the Somme would indicate the proba bility that they may attempt to stand on the line of the canal. Noyon, the southern outlet of the canal, was car ried after heavy fighting and the Germans are contesting bitterly the possession of the heights north and east of Noyon. The French are or the southern slopes of Mont St Simeon, an important height east O, Noyon.
 Gen. Mangin's crossing of the Ail ette seems to be the beginning of { move to outflank Noyon.
 There has been no further infantr, fighting on the Vesle, although tn, American artillery Is shelling thu enemy positions heavily. The Ger man claim of the capture of 25t Americans at Bazoches and Fismett, on Wednesday is denied by the Amer jeans, who have only a few men miss ing.

 Pure Blood-In Vol. of the Home Health Club books I have given much detailed information and instruction on the subject of pure blood. In brief article like this I can only slightly elaborate a few of the foun- dation principles upon which the Home Health Club philosophy of good health and pure blood is built
 Now let me impress upon you one fundamental fact which you know to be true. The food and drink and the air taken into your bodies all there is to the physical part of you. Now, isn't that SO? Yes. Now if some arsenic or opium or morphine or any of that kind of poison called medicine should by accident get into your food or drink, not very much of it, only so many grains, you would die. A poi son is a poison and when certain amounts are taken, no matter whether administered by criminal for the purpose of murder or by a great physician for the purpose of cure, the result will be the same unless antidotes are given the person will die.
 The entire process of creating the physical body of the baby requires only common food, drink and air, and in some cases the variety of food is very limited, but there is plenty of air and water These are cheap and no trust has yet been able to secure a corner upon them. With these last two elements pure and properly used, the quantity of the blood can be in creased very rapidly and so changed in it's character that a test taken to- day at noon, would show it to be but little like another test taken A ho@fs later.
 This wonderful change can be brought about without the use of any drugs, nothing but pure water. Ii your blood is thin and your cheeks pale, try the following simple use of pure water. In porcelain or alum mum dish put one quart of water and heat it almost to the boiling point as soon as little steam rises, push it a little further back on the stove and after taking a tablespoon full of it, cover it and push it still further back. Just keep it hot, don | let it boil, just hot. Put clock near YOU and every five minutes during the day. except while eating your meals, take on tablespoonful. Thin medi- cine, yes, but it will make the most wonderful change in you if you do it just as I tell you. Don't take more, don't take less than the enc table snoonful at a time and don't take it

DR. TRAVIS TO
 SPEAK AT PARK
 SUNDAY NIGHT
Has Recently Returned from the Battle Front Where
 He Did Y.M.C.A. Work.

pr. Thomas Travis of Montclair, N. J.. who has just returned from the battle front where he has been en- gagged in Y. M. c. A. work, will be the speaker at the band concert at Seaside park at o'clock Sunday night. Dr. Travis comes with the en- dorsement of the United States Ship ping board and has many personal ex- periences to relate. His intimate view of the war will surely interest his audience.
 Community singing, which has been a feature of these meetings under the auspices of the Bridgeport War bureau, will be continued and the bureau hopes that more men will take advantage of the opportunity to help lead the singing. They should report at the band stand at 7:45 o'clock Sun day evening. Much commendation of this chorus singing has been heard and 1t Is the desire of the war bureau that it shall be continued on the same high plan.

TAX BILL DELAYED
 BY. KITCHENS STAND

Washington, Aug. 30-A whole day was wasted by the Ways and Means Committee yesterday despite the pleas for speedy enactment of the $S,OOO,- 000,000 tax bill because Chairman hitchin was unwilling to go to the Treasury Department to confer with Secretary McAdoo on his proposals to make the personal and corporate 1n- comes taxes flat rates with no differ entials MT. Kitchin, accompanied by Representatives Garner (Tex.) and Longworth (Ohio), will see MT. Nc Adoo today.
 There remains to be settled, only the income tax provisions and posst- bly, the excess profits rates, yet Mir. Kitchin indicated today the measure might not be introduced in the House before September ', a week from Saturday. He did not explain this inordinate delay.
 The difficulties between MT. Kitchin and Mir McAdoo have been accentu- ated by the suggestion from MT. Mo- Adoo yesterday that the committee go to his office. The committee of three will ask MT. McAdoo today to meet the whole committee at the Cap- itol.
 The committee desires to know what impelled Mir. McAdoo to urge the single rate on all corporate in- come, and also his stand on the per- sonal income tax. It was the Treas ury's suggestion, according to the committee, which resulted in the diff ferential between unearned and earn ed incomes being written into the bill originally. The committee under- l stood this was done in order to make Liberty bonds more attractive to large investors.
 Extension of the date of the effee- tiveness of the wartime prohibition legislation until June 30 of next year makes it certain that the heavy liquor taxes in the bill will remain and that it will not be necessary to- impose heavy consumption taxes to take the place of the revenue which would be | lost if the 'bone dry'' legislation be- came effective on January l, as had | been the plan until recently. These | liquor taxes are counted on to provide appr oximately $1,000, ,0oO.

RAILROAD MEN SEEK
 SPEED.IN SHIPMENTS
Lines in the East Now in 8 Position to Anticipate Needs of Coming
 Winter

New York, Aug. 30-The railroads of the eastern region under govern ment operation, have been able not only to move freight as rapidly as it was created, notwithstanding the war time demands, but are now actually in a position to take care of consid- erable more business than is being of fered at present according to inform ation obtained yesterday at the office of the Regional Director. Railroad officials assert that there has been 2 very gratifying response from ship pers to an appeal sent out by the Re- gional Director the latter part of July and recently repeated, urging the shipment before Oct 1, as far as pos- stble, of next winters supplies.
 The fact that the railroads have relieved the congestion that existed last winter and created a surplus which is available now, is due in . large measure to the unifcation of the railroads under government opera. ton, railroad men stated. There is still considerable congestion a points like Pittsburgh and Chicago but this condition is being relieved tC a large extent through the diversion of traffic to the lake steamers.
 Regional Director Smith has an. nounced cancellation of the order dated July 29, which provided tha assignments of space to offices locat ed off the lines of sleeping and parlol car runs must not be made. Hereaf ter assignments of space in sleeping and parlor cars will be at the discre tion of the passenger traffic officers O. the initial roads.
 A bureau for suggestions and com plaints has been stabIished in tht Director Generals office at Washing ton. The public t0 invited to send il letters of complaint and suggestions tt w. G. NcAdoo, Director General O Railroads Bureau of Suggestions ant Complaints, Washington, D. c. Let ters of commendation of employe and efficient in the performance o their duties are also invited.

 If you should wish to secure still
 more positive results and see the pink color come to your cheeks more rap idly, instead of a quart of water put
 into the heating receptacle one-half

 of stewed prunes, 8 soft boiled egg
 and toast with cup of hot milk as
 a finish. I wish I had the space to

 worth while, even for those of us
 who are well, if we want to keep well. Club Notes.
 Dear Doctor-I wish some advice in regard to leanness through the
 Home Health Club. I am a hard worker and worry a little about my circumstances. Have a good appetite and sleep we'll. I masticate my food 1 well, but generally drink with my
 meals. I am feet inches in height and the most I ever weighed
 was 40 pounds. I have used little Cod Liver Oil which seemed to help some. B. T. (Answer) The only way in which
 real desirable weight may be added is by improving the digestion and assin-
 lation of food and by taking more of this than is absolutely necessary to
 supply the requirements of the sys- tenn and the energy required for the daily work. As matter of fact, you are not underweight for your height. | Compound Gentian will stimulate the
 secretion of the fluids which are ] necessary for the performance of l proper digest on. Starches should
 make up a large part of the diet and
 plenty of fluids should be taken, all though it is better to take them be-
 tween meals. Milk strippings are a
 useful addition to the diet, as they
 contain a large proportion of fat.
 Take them night and morning to the amount of one to two pints fresh and
 warm. If the work is hard this in itself will have the effect of keeping down the weight. A tendency to worry and nervousness, however, is
