WHAT Is VACHER-BAlM?

Some years ago vegetable wax was discovered that has the power to quiet nerves, and thus stop inflamma- ton. without injury this we combine with extracts that destroy disease germs and prevent infection. We make this compound into Salve. with the result that we have local rem edy that promptly relieves practically all kinds of pains, such as Rheuma- Sprains. Burns. BoilS, etc.
 This Salve Is obviously also the best thing for Catnrrh and Group; in fact its quick action in the latter danger ous complaint is simply marvellous; |; and being harmless. It can be used in- formally for Colic. etc.
 Of course the success of Vacher Balm caused many limitations to ap- pear. so he sure you get the genuine which has the signature of F.. w. vACHER on every package. Ii Is put up in 25c and 50c jars, and 23c tubes.
 If you have never tried Nacher-Balm write to F. w. Vacher, New Orleans. La. for Free Sample. No family should he without this remarkable rem edy; it saves so much suffering.
 If your druggist will not get Vacher- Balm for you. we will supply you di- rect. and give you the agency. We supply our agents with Free Samples that sell the jars or tubes without any troubie-Adv.

 -RESiSTANCE NOT STRONG.
12,O0O PRISONERS CAPTURED
Gen. Pershins's Forces in Their At tacks On Southern Side of St. Mi hiel Salient Have Advanced For
 Distance of Eight Miles.

Paris-The St. Mihiel salient has been reduced.
 The Americans renewed their at- tack on the St. Mihiel front at dawn.
 Twelve thousand prisoners have been taken and more are coming in.
 The railway from Verdun to Corl- mercy, Foul and Nancy now is open to the entente allies.
 All the villages in the St. Mihiel sG lient were captured by the Americans and the front in this sector was re- duced from some 40 miles to a little under 20 miles.
 The latest news from the St. Mihiel sector shows that the battle line nov runs directly from Pagny on the Mo selle river to Nationwide and then along the foot of the heights of the Mouse. Pagny, a town on the Moselle river, is on the western border of Ger many.
 The claim made by the Germans in the official communication that they foresaw the evacuation of the St. Mi hiel salient and prepared for it for as many years as the war has lasted hardly is borne out in view of the number of prisoners and guns taken. At the same time the fact that very few stores were left behind appears to indicate that the Germans had pre- pared to quit the ground.
 Most of the villages captured by the Americans were left in good condition by the Germans.
 Officers of the American genera staff expected a desperate resistance The presence of Field Marshal Hin denburg at the Metz fortress rour days ago conveyed the impression that the Germans expected an Ameri- can attack and were resolved to de fend the positions bitterly.
 Gen. Pershing's forces in their at tacks on the southern side of the St. Mihiel salient have advanced dis tance of eight miles. The assault was made on front of If miles. The Americans made rapid progress ia their continuation of their drive. Ia
 German prisoners say the Ameri- can attack was expected but that it was delivered so rapidly that they had no time to put up a stubborn resist ance when they were ordered to. Pan nes, which was energetically defend ed by the Germans. was easily cap tured by the Americans. The Amer jeans are reported to have captured Vigneulles, 12 miles north of Xiv. ray, through which the former line ran. Gen. Pershing's troops also are said to have captured Beney, Reudi- court, and the Bois de Thiacourt.
 The capture of these places has narrowed the neck of the St Mihiel salient to less than six miles and if the two German divisions reported to be in the salient still are there, it is decidedly improbable that they will be able to get away.

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says a glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps illness away.
This excellent, [ common-sense
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing i'll health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means OF helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, poisons, sour bile and toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and puri-
flying the entire alimentary canal be-
fore putting more food into the stom-
ach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, SO hot water and
limestone phosphate act on the elm
NATIVE organs.
Those who wake up with bad breath,
coated tongue, nasty taste or have a
dull, aching head, sallow complexion,
acid stomach; others who are subject
to bilious attacks or constipation,
should obtain quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate at the drug store.
This will cost very little but is suffi-
Gent to demonstrate the value of in
side bathing Those who continue it
each morning are assured Of pro,
nounced results, both in regard to
health and appearance.
