A TWICE-TOLD TALE
One of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and " hen it is confirmed after long lapse of time, even if we hesitate to be. lieve it at first hearing, we feel seoure in accepting It's truth now. The following experience of 8 Stafford Springs man is confirmed after four years. ......
 George Irons, farmer, E. Main St ,. says: "About a year ago my back became very sore and lame and l knew my kidneys wore at fault. as they acted irregularly. The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from the Easton Drug Store. improved my condition very much and after finish ing three boxes, I was free from the trouble.
 OVER FOUR YEARS LATER MT. Irons said: ''I am glad to confirm all Isaid in my previous statement recommending Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me-. and it hasn't been necessary to use anything for my back and kidneys in quite some time. {"

lIndIey Murray

Ltndley Murray was a noted Anglo American grammarian, who lived from 1745 to 1926. He was born at Swa- tara, Pa. In 1784, at the age of thirty nine years, he settled in England. and 1t was there that he compiled and pub lfghed his English grammar and Eng fish spelling book that gave hire con siderable prominence in his own time and for which he is remembered today For many years these were the text. books used in the majority of English schools. His English nome was at HOldgate, about mile from tIe city of York, and 1t was there that he did his literary work. His grammar has been severely criticized forsfts ohscur- fty, blunders and deficient presentation of etymology, but it made his name household word in every country where the English language is spoken. His later years were devoted to the study of botany.

Tremendous Speed.

Eliminate of mercury, which is used as the original detonating charge in torpedoes, expands at furious rate. A writer in the Illustrated World makes a comparison between this rate of expansion and an express train trav- cling at the rate of GO miles an hour.
 Imagine" he says, "24,000 feet a second-instead of the S9 feet a sec ond made by mlle-a-minute train and you will know why illuminate of mercury going off in your hand will carry a finger with it and yet not burn your coat" That Is the ultimate in speed.

POULTRY SHOW
AT STATE FAIR
STRONG FEATURE
Over 400 Birds On Display
Peterson Says Show.
Best Ever Held

With more than 400 birds on ex-
hibition, the poultry exhibit at the
North Dakota State fair is the larg-
est collection Of fine fowls ever
gathered in the state, according to
Enoch S. Peterson, poultry expert OF
the North Dakota Agricultural col
lege, superintendent in charge.
North Dakota poultry ralsers and
fanciers, who saw the show Mon
day, were agreed that it was not
only the largest, but the finest coll
lection.
Every space and pen in the big
poultry building, which has been en-
larged since 1917, is occupied with
blue bloods Of the poultry world,
while there is also an excellent snow
ing Of ducks and geese. A number OF
turkeys are shown.
The exhibits are enclosed in new
wire coops, such as housed exhibits
at the annual show Of the North Da-
kota Poultry association in Fargo
last winter. 1t has been necessary
to double up with some Of the pens
to accommodate all the exhibits.

Praise American Attack.
On The French Front In France,
Monday, July 15'.-It was a brilliant
operation in which the American
troops elected the enemy from the
positions he had gained temporarily
on the southern side OF the Marine.
The Americans counter attacked
vigorously this evening with re-
markable dash, throwing the Ger
mans back across the river near
Fossoy.
Earlier in the day this part Of the
line had been the scene Of the most
desperate fighting when the Ger
mans started to throw pontoons
across the stream. A few German
elements at first succeeded in get
ting over in boats, chasing the al
lied troops away from the banks
lay the bridges. Six Of these bridges
formed q lattice work and rapidly
Joined the banks on either side. Two
Of the bridges were most substantial
structures and between 20 and 80
feet in width.
French airplanes played great
havoc in the German ranks while
the bridges were under construc-
ton. One bombing squadron flying
at a height Of 200 meters, dropped
bombs on two Of these bridges while
enemy troops were crossing. The
bridges were broken and the soldiers
thrown into the river.
The aviators constantly bombed
the other bridges and did great
execution among the Germans on
the bridges as well as on the banks
where the enemy was concentrated
in great masses.
When the Germans had crossed
the river Marine, the fighting, which
already was heavy, became terrific.
The French and Americans holding
the southern side, fell back on to
their principal combat positions.
They fought all the way and counter
attacked occasionally, creating con-
fusion in the ranks Of the advancing
foe.
Then, late in the evening the
Americans started a dashing counter
blow which resulted in the Germans
retiring pell NELL to the river.
First Day Favorable.
On The French Front In France,
Monday, July 15.-The impression
Of the results Of the first days bat
tie in the new German smash on the
French front is good.
Nowhere along the stretch Of
many miles did the enemy succeed
in penetrating more than 1000 yards
and that was only on small Sec
tor in the neighborhood of Marfaux,
southwest of Rheims, although or
ders found on German prisoners an
nounced that the first day should
take them 20 kilometers from the
front line OF departure.
On the battlefront east of Rheims
the enemy did not even get beyond
the advanced line, the invincible re-
sistance Of the French troops pre-
venting him from attaining the main
combat line. With the French on
the section west of Rheims fought
americans and italian troops, both
OF whom Wed with the other allies
in keenness and courage.
