AMERICANS ARE
V|CT0RS IN HOT
ARTILLERY DUEL
Germans Concentrate Terrific
Barrage on Sammies' Sector;
Stop When Heavy Shells
Come Back.

With the American Army in France.
Feb. 25.--In the American sector
northwest of Toul today, the Germans
tried the tactis of concentrating ar
tillery f. on one OF the American
positions, apparently with the purpose
Of obliterating it. The American
guns Immediately punished the Ger
man batteries with doubly heavy re-
taliatory fire and then swept the
enemy lines with vicious barrage,
undoubtedly inficting considerable
damage.
The German guns promptly ceased
fire, Whether they were silenced or
stopped firing for other reasons is
unknown, but since that time hardly a
shot has been fired from that point.
Last night a German patrol was
found once more within the American
wire. 1t was driven back by machine
gun and rifle fire. American patrols
worked freely, without interference.
The Germans today dropped into
the American trenches an entirely new
type of bombs, resembling a baseball.
No damage was done.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a little Salts in water may
save you from dread
attack.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid, which IS
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 clos
ed, thus forcing the kidneys to. do
double work, they become weak and
sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric
acid, which keeps accumulating and
circulating through the system, event
ually settling in the Joints and mus
cles, causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
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 pleas
ant, effervescent hthia-water drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.-

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too mucl
alkali, which is very injurious, as it,
dries the scalp and makes the lair
brittle. ~. 3.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Advertisement.

Wonderful Bit That Will
Bore a Square Hole

1t has remained for a Peoria, Ill.,,
mechanic, after twelve years of plan
ming, to startle the mechanical world
with bit that will bore a square
hole. This man has an actual work.
ing bit which has made its way
through more than 400 boards and
pieces of marble with equal ease and
made positively square hole at a
single operation.
The idea, is not paper patent"
but an actual working tool that many
have travelled hundreds of miles to
see. All who have investigated it
commend the inventor on the in
genuity and marvel at its simplicity.
Carl H. Schmidgall, the inventor,
resides in Peoria, and has since early
childhood been familiar with tools
and iron work.
When asked about the invention he
said he guessed he would have to
give his wife the credit for the final
perfect working idea. Several nights
last winter his wife was so sick that
Schmidgall was obliged to sit up all
night and watch at her bedside.
There were times when she would
sleep a little while and during those
moments one night he thought of the
idea upon which he made the work
ing model.
Schmidgall says no time was lost in
getting the plan down on paper, so
the details might not be forgotten.
He was unable on account of the
rush of work in his shop to get to
work on his idea, but after a week or
so he found time to make up the de-
tails and an application for patent is
the result. His fame as an inventor
has spread over the entire country.
The present working model makes
a square hole lH inches across, but
a tool that will make hole one-half
inch across is just as practical. 49,
In making this tool many other
ideas have resulted. The same tool
may be changed in a few moments to
make various shaped holes by simply
making a change in the cutting edges
Scrolls and special grill work can be
made with the bit in a fraction of the
time required by the usual methods,
and at the same time be absolutely
accurate, and all the holes be of uni
form size.-Chicago Post.

Compulsory Work Hits
The ldIerS in Maryland

"You can lead a horse to the trough,
but you can't make him drink"
This is the slogan of the Il Won't
Works." who have been rounded up
by the police under the compulsory
work law in Baltimore.
"That little saying about the horse
and drinking might be all right" says
Stephen c. Little, clerk of the superior
court, who, with Chairman Malone Of
the compulsory work board, is direct
ing the state end of the law, "but you
must remember that unless the idlers,
sofa entertainers at the hotels, side
door gentlemen and never-works get
busy and work where we send them
they are going to jail. If they don't
work at the jail they don't eat. This
state owes them living, as it does
every man--only when they work and
not when they are gentlemen OF lei
surew
Thus scarcely 200 men have reg
istered voluntarily and about 500 have
been rounded UP by the police, who
promise to get several thousand more
in the dragnet before the week is out.
There has recently been remark
able increase in the ranks of bond
statesmen as the result of rush OF
clubmen and society hangers-on to es-
cape the dragnet. Also many have
opened offices and the young men are
banging on typewriters to give an i'm
preston of business that does not ex-
ist.
A good many sturdy men of the
humber class, especially negroes who
worked only when actually necessary,
have really gone to work, many on
farms.
Many of those who voluntarily reg
istered are really inefficients, who
have heretofore not been able to get
work. An idea of what may be ex-
pected of them was given when Di-
rector Malone sent dozen to Major
Shirley, state road engineer. Here
they claimed exemption for various
reasons and Major Shirley sent them
back again. Their status is still to be
ned-Baltimor American.

other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

Downtown streets were crowded
with pedestrians and automobiles.
Tall men stumbled over short forms
heavy persons came in strong contact
with others; thin ones wound their
way through the masses; slow ones
spent the whole seven-minute inter
walls finding places of safety in the

chose shelter from the jostling throngs
in doorways.
Theater fans in the local playhouses
held their seats in wonderment while
pedestrians and organists played
popular selections during the utter
darkness.
Automobiles shed their dimmed
lights along the darkened streets, and
several stores in buildings where light
was generated in their own plants
cast flares rom the show windows.

to enter a store as dark as cave

light in their faces with great persist
ency, especially when they neared the

EkIund Tells Theosophical
Society Concerning Dreams

In an address on Dreams and Pre-
monitions," by J. T. Eklund before the
Theosophical society Sunday night
he said that modern psychology has
devoted itself most mdustriously to
explain one phase of dreams. which
are caused by impressions made on
the physical senses. or by the desires
of the waking consciousness. This
class of dreams are wholly mechani-
cal, lacking in conference and rational
ity. They are simply the revivi-
fed and disconnected mental images.
leading their aimless dance in the
etherical brain.
The other class of dreams Of which
modern psychology can give no con-
vincing explanation, are those which
are really memories of experiences
gained on the astral plane during
sleep, when the ego slips out of the
physical body and is acting in the
astral vehicle. 3

How Old Is the Earth.

The salt of the ocean has been made
to give an answer to the question of the
age of the earth. The general idea seems
simple enough to be worked out by anyone
with a plentiful supply Of good long pencils
and sufficient paper.
Salt is carried down year after year into
the sea, where 1t accumulates. If, then.
we can divide the entire amount of salt at
present In the ocean by the amount carried
down In year, the quotlent will be the
probable age of the EARTH Simple? oh yes.
