The fact is, the bolshevists, having
decided to enlarge their sphere OF

world at large. This doubtful situa
tion arises from the fact that boil

ther fact that there are hundreds OF
thousands OF men in Russia who must
either join the bolshevist forces OF

The main question now is whether
bolshevist aggression will stop at the
old German eastern frontier. How

penetrated eastern Germany it is i'm
possible to say. Where and when will

With the American Army on The
Dwina.-American troops fighting des.
pcrately near Kadish, have driven
back bolskcvik troops which made an
advance there. The bolshevists also
launched attacks On the Omega sector
and bombarded the allied front. The
Americans came into battle along the
Petrograd road and in the frozen
swamps that border it. The battle
was fought in snow from two to four
feet in depth.
American forces captured Kadish
after a display Of gallantry that evoked
the admiration OF the allied comman-
ders. Special care has been taken of
the American wounded and the body
on an American officer was taken back
100 miles by sledge and then shipped
to Archangel for burial There were
some casualties. but they were small
in comparison to those inflicted upon
the enemy.
On Tuesday. the bolshevists opened
terrific fire from three and six-inch
guns and launched counter-attack
against the buildings held by the Am
ericans In Kadish. SO hot was the ar
tillery fire that the Americans were
withdrawn temporarily from the vii
lage. The line. however. was not
taken back very far and the new po-
sitions were firmly held. The enemy
did not occupy Kadish because the
barrage fire from the Americans guns
made the place untenable. Shells
falling on the frozen ground spread
their zones OF destruction twice as
far as they would under normal con.
ditions. Later. under the protection
OF artillery fire. American detach-
ments again swept forward and reoc-
cupied the town. The men engaged in
the ADVANCE were from infantry and

Jump from Bed
 in Morning and
 Drink Hot Water TeIls why everyone should drink hot water each morning
 before breakfast. 4

Why is man and wuInan, half the time, feeling nervous. Respondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really inca pacitated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside bathing, what gratifying change would take place. Instead of thou- sands of hadf-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty muddy complex ions we should see crowds of happy. healthy, rosy checked people every where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accummu- lates under our present mode of liv- ing. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be car- ried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are ab- sorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as 1t is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day. before the fire will burn bright and hot so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women. whether sick or we'll, are advised to drink each morning, before break fast a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestihle material. waste, sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alinentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

TO WATCH OUT
Latest Note to Carranza Lacks Only Diplomatic Technicalities to Make 1t An Ultimatlm

Washington, Aug. 15.-The state departments latest note to Mexico warning President Carranza that if murders and indgnitics of American citizens continue the United States may be forced to adopt a radical change in attitude toward that coun- try, was the chief topic of interest and discussion today in official and diplo- matic circles here. The note made public late yesterday along with a reply from the Mexican government, lacked only diplomatic technicalities to make 1t an ultimatum and was couched in probably the strongest language used in any communications between the two republics since the exchanges just prior to the occupa- tfon of Vera Cruz by American armed forces.
 Though no reason for the change in policy was apparent other than the continued mistreatment robbery and murder of American citizens in Mex ico it generally was the opinion today ments and demand in congressional circles for some protective action hastened the announcement.
 It was pointed out that should some drastic step become necessary the United States from a military point of view now is in better shape to act than at any time in it's history of long drawn out controversy with the Mexican nation as to American rights and privileges.
