 As soon as the troops had been de- ployed, we intended to attack Rannen- kampf on wide front between the river Pregei and Lake Mauer, while enveloping his left wing beyond Lot ten s(15 miles south of tht upper end of Lake Mauer) and farther south The task delegated to our outermost southern wing was to guard the army from attack from Augustoao and Oso- wiel, opposite the southeast corner of East Prussia and 40 and 50 miles from Lotzen, where hostile reinforcements were expected. The concentrated Eighth army was to fight in three groups from the river Pregel to Lake Mauer, east of Lotzen and in the di- rection of Iyck. (Thirty miles soutf- east of Lotzep).

With Stuarts Dyspepsia Tahlefs Dyspeptic Sails Right In to the Good Things To Eat
 How often you meet people who say to eat that would be my finish. But they can eat melons, fried fish, mince pie, cheese and such terrors of the dyspeptic provided the meal is followed with Stuart's Dyspep- sa Tablet.
 Thus to rule out all the tasty and savory foods for fear of indigestion, gas and T sour stomach, is both needless and depressing. These tablets are composed of digestants and stomachics in such proportion as to di- gest food and thus relieve the stomach of an excess burden, particularly if the stomach has been overworked. It is a safe rule to follow each meal with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet then you may eat what you like wherever you are and not be rated . forlorn dyspeptic.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets may be found in all drug stores throughout the United States and Canada.

Mr.. Amundsen says the one great
drawback to establishing the cream
cry business on firm and sound bus
cream. While he has gained the con-
findence of the dairy owners and prac-
tically gets all the cream tributary to
Leavenworth he finds that there is
scarcely enough to make the business
profitable. To make it really worth
while to devote all his time to the
creamery the quantity delivered
should be practically doubled. He
hopes by giving all the COW owners
the square deal, thereby helping to
make the keeping of milk cows prof
table, to encourage them to increase
their herds and encourage others to
keep milk cows. With this end in
view he will endeavor to have several
car loads of first class milk cows
shipt to Leavenworth in the near flu
ture.

Motors We'll bought.

The buying of the motor shares con-
tinues to be feature Of the stock mar
ket daily. and in well informed quarters
1t Ia declared that some Of the COM
panies which have come in for the best
buying are going to givd Wall street n
few pleasant surprises when their earn
fngs statements are given out. IT was
declared yesterday that the buying OF
motors was of the best that it WAS for
tie most part for inside interests and
that it was predicated on advance knowl-
edge OF what the companies were earn
ing. The advance in Chandler Motors IN
the last few days has attracted much
attention. That company. which is not
a manufacturing concern. but an assem-
bling organization. Is declared to have
been earning tremendous sum of money.
In the case Of White Motors the story OF
a probable big extra stock dividend still
persists With these two as leaders in
the upward movement there was little
buying OF other motor stocks needed to
move them upward for a substantial
gain.

Marines Advance.

With revival OF interest in Marine
shares yesterday came retelling OF many
stories and rumors connected with the
company. The British deal. the Wash
ington deal. new liquidation plan. re-
lease OF ships. purchase by the company
OF its own bonds in large amounts,
these and many other items formed the
foundations of numerous stories As
regards the deal for the sale of tho
tonnage no great amount OF Credence
was placed In the rumors. But consid
cradle attention was paid TO the story
that the company is to be liqudated
some way, the details OF the liquidation
being withheld by those who claimed to
know. Another story widely circulated
was that the Government was to re-
lease the Marine CompanyS shiDs thus
giving the company much greater earn
ing power. Still another story---and i
came from Il source very close to the
coTporatiou--Was that the company had
been long buying III large blocks OF its
6 per cent. bonds and stickIn' EN- away.
The report OF possible LIQUIDATION OF the
company. which came from a usually
well Informed quarter, was to the effect
that such step impends. but whether
or not it Wal come as the result OF clos
ing OF one of tho numerous deals or
through some other method was not
made clear
