Oliver Wendell Holmes said that one sign of old age was wanting to eat at regular intervals.
 Most boys and girls are always hungry. Don't feed them this, that and the other.
 The one food that will not hurt them is GOOD BREAD, spread with fresh butter, and maybe a little jam or apple sauce on it, for an extra treat.
 Give them this and fear nothing. But use OUR bread and you will De SURE it's good.

The death of Peter H. J. Bowling of. New York. as the result of an ac- cident on board the schooner Florence Howard, owned by the Atlantic Ship ping Co, of Stonington, is the basis of a $60.000 suit brought against the company Thursday.

40 NEW AUSTRIAN DIVISIONS
 ALONG THE ITALIAN FRONT
Battle in France Not Likely to Inter- fere With Offensive Against Italy.

Washington. March 2S.-Forty new Austrian divisions have been distrib- uted along the Italian front, tbe Ital- ian. embassy was advised today by cable from Rome, and this activity has convinced Italian military men that the battle in France will not pre- vent an offensive against Itay. This view also is shared by the allied lead- CTS. the cable said, and consequently not q single man of the Franco British forces in Italy has been with drawn to reinforce the armies with standing the great German attack.
 That the battle in France will not prevent the Austrian offensive against Italy" said the message, lis the founded opinion of competent military men of Italy. The allies are also of this opinion, so much so that not one single man of the Franco British forces in Italy has been withdrawn. This statement dlsposes of the asser- ton of the German communique that the British forces in Italy had been brought to the French front
 "In connection with the expected drive against Italy it is stated that at least forty new Austrian divisions have been distributed along the Ital- ian front. All available artillery has also been transferred from the Rus sian and Rumanian fronts to the Ital- ian front Italy therefore must be prepared for the coming blow, which the situation in France may have postponed, but which must be met in a very near future"

 GERMAN OFFENSIVE
Started Barrase Fire Across the Germans Side of No Mans Land.

With the American Army in France March 27,-(By The Associated Press What promised to be a German at tack on the American lines northwest of Toul this morning was broken up by American artillery fire.
 The enemy had heavily bomharded certain positions of the American lines and then had sent a sweeping barrage across No. Mans Land. Enemy trench mortars, firing from the west of Richecourt, started a box barrage and from enemy machine guns came rain of bullets.
 The American infantry emerged from their underground covers at the propert moment and advanced to meet the expected assault. Meanwhile the American artillery had started a counter -barrase against the German side of No Mans Land and appar- ently this was effective.s for, although the Americans waited no Germans appeared. What happened on the other side of the line is not known.
 Enemy artillery fire has been heavy and some shots were well placed. The American gunners gave the enemy a severe drenching with gas shells.
