 MANY RANCHES IN DANGER
 SPOKANE, Wash, July 19.-R)- The forest fires in northern Idaho and Montana continue to eat their way into the available timber areas. The loss is now amounting to thou sands of dollars daily, with but slight hope of the fires stoppinng until they burn themselves out.
 Should high wind spring up, it would work havoc among the forests of these states. Rangers report there are many fires of enormous size scattered over large area. Scores of government employees and vOlun- teer fire fighters are unable to stop the ravages of the flames.

ALLIED LINES
STAND FIRM
Despite the Repeated At
tacks by Bolsheviki on
Archangel Front
HEAVY LOSSES ARE
DEMORALIZING FOE
Allies Are Tired and Out
numbered But Are Hold
ing Out Stubbornly

Archangel, Tuesday, April l., by the
Associated Press. Repeated bolshevik
attacks along the front line and both the
right and left flank positions controlling
0dozerskaia were repulsed today by the
allied forces. The Americans, French,
British and Russians, who, either sep
arately or together, are holding positions
throughout this territory, which is n
little over one hundred miles south of
Archangel, have everywhere held their
lines intact.
The bolsheyiki, in spite of their heavy
losses yesterday. attacked the railroad
front south of Odozerskaia at ten o'clock
this morning, but they failed. Allied
forces east of Bolsheia Ozera, where
Americans, Russians and British are
fighting, were under attack all day yes
terday alta point about Is miles west
of 0dozerskaia and four separate as
saults were made there again early this
morning. All broke down under the al
lied fire. According the bolshevik pris-
oners, the enemy is somewhat demoraliz-
ed because of his heavy losses during
the past two days.
In the Seletzkoe sector, 40 miles east
of Odozerskaia, the allied advance posts
were attacked by strong enemy patrol
this morning, but the bolsheyiki were
driven back by machine gun fire, losing
two killed and number wounded. Sc
letzkoe protects the allied flank along
the 0dozerskaia front and the flank of
the allied river front positions.
On the Omega river, west of Bolshoia
Ozera, the enemy yesterday shelled the
village OF Kleshevo, which is held by the
Russo. British garrison. In this terri
tory enemy outposts were driven back
at Piluk, and the allies captured two
prisoners. The allied troops are tired
and outnumbered, but are fighting a
stubborn defensive battle in the snow,
which is rapidly showing signs Of a thaw
under the warm sunshine. The days now
are longer than the nights in this region.

Life is not merely TO live, but to live

easy it is if one will only adopt the

Folks who are accustomed to feel dull

fell as fresh as daisy by opening the
sluices OF the system each morning and
flushing out the whole of the internal
poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll,
should, each morning, before breakfast,
drink a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels the previous days indigesti-
bic waste, sour bile and poisonous tox-
ms; thus cleansing. sweetening and pu-
rifying the entire slimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach. The
action of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully inyigorating II cleans out all the

acidity and gives one a splendid appe-
tite for breakfast. While you are enjoy
ing your breakfast the water and phos.
phate is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and getting
ready for thorough flushing of all the
inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disorders
and sickly compilations are urged to get
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
from the drug store which will cost very
little, but is sufficient to make anyone
pronounced crank on the subject Of

in Allentown, Pa, says THE shoes with
Neolin Soles gave me continuous serv-

soles last me about one month.
Ii you are hard on shoes, follow MIR.
Foreman's example and buy them with

wear a long time, and SO cut your shoe
