Rid System of Cioeeed up

Let gentle, harmless "Cascarets" rid
the system of the toxins. acids. gases,
and poisons which are keeping you up
set.
Take Cascarets and enjoy the incest,
gentlest laxative-cathartic you ever
experienced. Cascarets never grippe,
sicken, or cause inconvenience. They
work while you sleep. a TX of Cas-
carets costs so little too.-Adv.

of the mechanism.
Eugene himself, as he came up the
cement path to the house, was a fig
ure of the new era which was in time
to be so disastrous to stiff hats and
skirted coats; and his appearance af-
forded a debonair contrast to that of
the queer-looking duck capering at the
Anderson ball in an old dress coat,
and next day chugging up National
avenue through the snow in his night
mare of sewing machine. Eugene
this afternoon was richly clad In new
outdoor mode: his motoring coat was
soft gray fur; his cap and gloves were
of gray suede. and though Lucy's hand
may have shown itself in the selection
of these high garnitures, he wore them
easily, even with becoming hint of
jauntiness. Some change might be
seen in his face. too. for successful
man is seldom to be mistaken, espe-
cially II his temper be genial. Eugene
had begun to look like millionaire.
But. above everything else, what was
most evident about him, as he came
happiness promised by his present
errand; the anticipation in his eyes
could have been read by a stranger.
His look at the door Of Isabel's house
was the look of man who is quite
certain that the next moment will re-
veal something ineffably charming. In
expressibly dear.
When the bell rang George
waited at the entrance of the "recep-
tion room" until housemald came
through the hall on her way to answer
the summons.
you needn't mind, Mary" he told
her. ''I'll see who 1t is and what they
want. Probably it's only peddler."
THANK you, sir. Mister George"
said Mary, and returned to the rear of
the house.
George went slowly to the front door
and halted. regarding the misty silhou-
ette of the caller upon the ornamental
frosted glass. After minute of
waiting this silhouette changed outline
so that an arm could be distinguished
an arm outstretched toward the bell.
as II the gentleman outside doubted
whether or not 1t had sounded and
were minded to try again. But before
the gesture was completed George alb
ruptly threw open the door and
stepped squarely upon the middle Of
the threshold.
A slight change shadowed the face
of Eugene; his look of happy anticipa-
tion gave way to something formal
and polite. "How do you do. George?"

'T heard you," said George. "You

Eugene gave him a steady look. and
then he asked quietly: "What is the
the difficulty?"
George kept his own voice quiet
enough. but that did not mitigate the
vibrant fury of 1t. "My mother will

One year ago today began the battle
of the Argonne, that marked the break
ing of the Hindenburg line, and proved
the ability of the American troops to
act successfully along extended lines,
The individual fighting quality of the
men and the ability of the Americans
to fight brilliantly in the warfare OF
sharply defined action had already been
shown at Chateau -Thierry and at st.
Mihiel
General Liggett commanded the First
American army in the Meuse Argonne
offensive. He had under his command
the First. Third and Fifth Army Corps.
Included in the Third Corps was the
Second Division, with its brigade of
marines. At the opening of the Argonne
fight the Second Division, under Major
General Lejeune. was engaged in break
ing the German line in the Champagne.
leaving that success by forced marching
to join in the big offensive.
! The fight began at ) a. m. on Sep
tember 26 The artillery bonbardment
of the night had been one of the heaviest
on record. The Franco American front
was on both sides of the Argonne forest,
between the> Suippes and Meuse rivers.
1t was their task to pave the way for
movement toward Mezieres, which
with the ground gained by the Amcri
cans at ST. Mihiel would threaten the
stability of the entire German line. The
First American Army at dawn advanced
TO the east of the Argonne. while Gen
eral Gouraud's Fourth French Army
took the west side of the forest.
Soon after noon the first objcctives OF
American and French had been reached
