American Forces on the Marne.-
The American troops in this sector
attacked the German line northwest
of Chateau.Thierry during the night
and made an advance Of five-eighths
of a mile, driving the Germans back
from a small pocket on the northern
side OF 3elleau Wood.
The Americans occupied the Ger
man positions without resistance from
the enemy, the Germans having with
drawn when the short and sharp pre-
liminary artillery bombardment indi-
Gated that an infantry attack would
follow.
The Germans carried their material
with them in their retreat and the
Americans, therefore, did not take any
machine guns. AS matter of course
also, no prisoners were taken.
One small salient Is all that the
enemy continues to hold in Belleau
Wood.

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
Il u that 90 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason il PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy h
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, Q
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and

save his culver and bath towel.
But what used to be called modesty
is now listed as prudishness. The
average maid of today doesn't blink
at flock of Cupids, Psyches, Venuses
or Dianas. She can mingle On equal
terms with the undressed parade ut
the seaside and she has her picture In
the pink pages showing nothing much
but her legs and teeth. She gossips
about eugenics and birth control much
as the girl of old did about Little
Goldenlocks and the three bears. If n
sweetheart should send her a little box
couch effect made of lace paper, hearts
and pink roses she would yawn him
Off the premises.
So 1t is that the old-style valentine
is pretty much numbered with the
slain. The very young, the very old,
the very modest and the quantity ro-
mantle, may indulge, but not your lat
ter day lovers. The day of st. Valen-
tine may be remembered by gifts to
sweethearts, but they are more apt to
be silver cigarette cases or cocktail
sets rather than the filmy Cupids of
other days.-Los Angeles Times.

Destroy This House Pest.

The silver fish-like insect known as
silverfish or sllcker Is q troublesome
pest in many homes where 1t is found
In books, papers, clothing and other
articles containing starch. 1t is par.
ticularly destructive In libraries, being
fond Of the paste used In the bind
ing of books. Frequently 1t feeds on
the paste used in applying wallpaper,
causing 1t to scale off. 1t also dam
ages starched clothing, linen and cur
tains II left undisturbed for any consid-
cradle period Of time. Nearly every
housewife is familiar with this obnox.
ious little pest, which is able to run
about with great rapidly, though they
may know 1t by some other name than
silverfish.
One Of the best household remedies
for silverfish is pyrethrum. Sodium
fluorid, a most efficient roach powder,
is also an effective remedy. 1t may be
busted, or applied with the powder
blower, wherever the silverfish is likely
to occur. Frequent handling and airing
Of starched clothing and similar OBJ
jects will MD in their destruction. A
thin, boiled starch paste made of three
quarters ounce Of powdered white ar
senic and one pint Of flour is a good
poisoned bait when spread upon small
pieces Of cardboard and put in places
frequented by silverfish. As this paste
Is very poisonous It should be kept out
Of reach Of children.

WHEAT AND MEAT CONSERVED
Much Can Be Saved by Use Of Various
Substitutes In Arranging Lunch
for Children.

Wheat and meat can be saved In
thousands of lunches carried each
morning to school by the children Of
this nation. There is no need to de-
crease the energy value or nourish-
ment Of these lunches, but in addition
to saving wheat and meat it is pos
sible with the various substitutes to
give a pleasing variety to the noon
meal at school.
Since whatever meat brought from
home Is usually in the form of sand
witches, the problem Of the meatless
lunch is not hard, for so many good
sandwich filings other than meat are
| easy to secure. Here are q few sug-
gestions for sandwich filings: Chop
ped hard-boiled egg mixed with salad
dressing; peanut butter; cottage or
cream cheese; chopped dates and nuts.
All are good and the children will like
them as well as meat.
For the wheatless day the sand.
witches are more Of problem, but
toasted corn mullins, rye bread, oat-
meal bread, or oatmeal or corn waters
can take the place Of the bread made
Of wheat only. The filings can be
anything usually used.
A sweet such as chopped fruits and
nuts pressed and cut In cubes or slices,
piece of chocolate, or oatmeal cook
les, will find favor with the children
in place Of the cooky or cake made
from wheat -four.
Sandwiches, fruit, and sweet make
good lunch, especially If supplement-
ed by a cupful of hot cocoa or soup
made at school and containing some
milk. Or the lunch brought from home
may be even simpler-plain bread and
an apple or other fruit are enough If
the hot dish prepared at school is a
hearty one.

NO WlPiNG, LESS BREAK.
AGE WITH THIS DISH
DRAlNER.

Perhaps no time spent in
housework is more begrudged by
the housekeeper than that spent
, in washing and wiping dishes. A
dish drainer not only saves time
and labor but it does away with
the too-often insanitary dish
towel. By keeping the dishes
separate rather than in a pile it
should also reduce breakage.
A most satisfactory dish drain
er, illustrated above, can be
made by using an ordinary bread
or biscuit pan and racks made of
soft No. u or IA wire. By using
a pair Of pliers the wire can be
bent into the proper shape for
forming the racks. The racks
fit into the pan and hold the
dishes out Of the water. The
compartment for silver is made
Of poultry netting. This COM
partment could be made Of
screen wire, or a tin can with
holes In the bottom might be
used.
After the dishes are washed
they are stacked in the racks
and scalded with hot rinsing wa
ter. The pan catches the drip,
and the dishes soon dry clean
and lintless. If the drainer Is
used on the drain board of a
sink small hole can be made In
the pan and the drip drained i'm.
mediately into the sink. The
wire racks can easily be remov-
ed so that the pan can be used
for other purposes.
