WASH THE KIDNEYS

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role In health or disease. By some mys-
FERROUS process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes 1t out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested-
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache. headache. lumbago, rheu-
matism or govt The urine Is often
cloudy, full of sediment channels often
get sore and sleep Is disturbed Mt night.
So 1t Is that DR.. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute In Buffalo.

by drinking six to eight glasses of water
between meals and then If you want
to take harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy

This "Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than lithia-will drive out

Lesson In Geography.

Readers of General Allenby's dis
patches, unfamiliar with the peculiar
tiles of the Dead sea, were not a little
puzzled at his description of British
airplanes flying four hundred feet be-
low the sea level. But reference to a
geography brought the information
which solved the riddle; the Dead sea
lies 1892 feet below the surface of the
Mediterranean, so that airplanes sail

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Mt. KENNEL, the height dominating
virtually all the northern side of Lys
salient in Flanders, Is again in the
hands Of the British. Dispatches to
London state that this famous hill
for which the Germans paid terri
BILE price in April and which was de-
Tended to the death by the allies, has
been captured.
There has been no report, however,
of an attack being made on this hill,
and 1t seems probable that the Ger
mans retired from 1t and that the
British quickly moved in. There are
evidences that the enemy's retreat
from the Lys salient is being acceler-
ated. the British having taken the
station at Bailleul as we'll as Mt. Lille
to the east, and being in possession
of the bank of the Lave river from
vleAe Chapelle TO Lestrem, on the
southern side of the salient.
In certain vital sectors Of this bat
tie area the British have gained from
one to two miles during the past day.
While there is every evidence that
allied pressure against the German
lines from Scissors to Arras contin-
ues, the desperate attempts of the
enemy to cover his retreat seems to
have brought about a virtual pause
for the moment. At only two points
southeast of Arras and northwest
and north of Peronne-have the al
Elied forces moved ahead.
In the former sector. north of Ar
ras-cambrai road, the British have
occupied the st. servins farm. close
to the highway, and have moved into
the village Of Eperpigny to the north
east. This village is on the east bank
of the sensee river and its capture
marks the passage OF that important
waterway at a vital point.
