The i WO RUSSIANS TAKING THE OFFENSIVE, Petrewai Reports That Northeast of Lem berg Czar's Troops Force Forward. London, Oct. 1. The left wing Qf the British amiy between the Aricre and Somme rivers in France has advanced on nearly a two mile front from the east of Eau court L'Abbaye to the Albert Bapaume road, capturing- in the operation the town of Eaucourt IAbbaye and throwing- their line to within about four miles of Bapaume itself. In addition the British line to the left has been sent forward for good ffains into the German front according- to London. Valuable work was done by the new armor ed 'tractors in thegfighting. In the Champagne region the Germans, says Paris, attempted two surprise attacks against the French but both of them failed. Still further gains bv, the British and the French troops north of the Somme river in France are cjtronicled in the latest official commuaications from London and Paris, Ttit Germans have been clear ed out of positions near the Stuff redoubt, which they had held sinca thekeary lighting of last week attjl alto hve been forced to give up all except a very small portion oi the Schwaben redoubt this region. In addition to the east, between Le Sara and Flers, troops ot &en. Sir Douglas Haig kare pushed forward their posi tioas. During- Saturday night and Sunday German trenches ear Morval and Clerr fell into the hands of the French in gren- j ade fighting-. Berlin reports, however, that attacks by the British east of Thiepval and by the French in the vicinity of Rancourt, Cource letterMorval and Halle were re pulsed. The activity around Halle may indicate the commence ment of an Entente drive with Peronne as its objective. In Galicia the Russians have started another big offensive with the purpose of driving on to Lem lerg. The official reports from Petrograd and Berlin are at vari ance with regard to the results of the fighting. Petrograd reports that 30 miles northeast of Lem berg, along the Brady-Krasne Railway, the Russians are forcing their way forward despite the stubborn resistance of the Teu tonic Allies and have captured 1,987 officers and men. Also south of Breazany. 50 miles south' west of Lemberg and along the right bank of the Ziota Lipa, Austro-German positions are re ported to have been taken and 112 officers and 2, 268 men made prison er. Berlin asserts that the Russian forces along the Bcody-Lemberg Railway were stopped by the artillery of the Teutons. But on the southern wing Berlin admits the Russians gained a foothold and alto advanced in the angle between the Tseniuvka and Ziota Lipa river. In the Carpathians, in the Lud owa sector the Austrians have turned to the offensive, and ac cording to Vienna, in an attack captured four Russian officers and 532 men and eight machine guns. The Rumanian theater is wit nessing only local engagements. The number oi prisoners taken by the army of General von Fal- T-T1 -a . jcennaynm the riermanstadt re gion exceeded 3,000. Thirteen guns and large quantities of sup plies also were captured, includ ing 300 railroad cars laden with munitions. In Macedonia the Serbians after days of bitter fighting have at last captured the Kaimakcalan height on the Greek-Serbian border from the Bulgarians. The British on the struma have taken a portion of the Bulgarian line near the Orljak bridge. For a Muddy Complexion. Take Chamberlain's Tablets and adopt a diet of vegetables and cereals.

This is open season for politi- . - -r ft . . 1 1 A. cians. JNow is tc time 10 snoot them. We mean shoot them with questions. Nearly all can didates for office are writing let ters to the voters in their terri tory just now soliciting their support at the general election in November. A friend of The Menace in New York sends us a letter he received from a can didate for the United States sen ate. He also sends us a copy of his reply to the candidate, from which we take the following sig nificant paragraph: 'There is another matter to which I wish to call your atten tion and that is the seriou,s-men-ace to our very Jexistance, that being the attitude of th Roman Catholic heriarchy in connection with our free press, public schools, and freedom of speech. There has been a joint resolution No. 264, introduced into congress July 16th of this year by Mr. C. A. Lindbergh of Minnesota, providing for the investigation of charges made by the Free Press Defense League, an incor porated body, making serious charges against activities of the church of Rome in politics. If you are elected to the senate of the United States, I plead with you to keep this matter in mind and fight for this resolution." Rome's spell over the Ameri can people is just about broken. She went so far with her high handed political intriguing, boy cotting and persecution that the people revolted. Rome's stock in trade is bluffing, bragging and bulldozing, and when the people all finally awake to this fact. which they sooner or later will, they will repudiate the pope's over zealous subjects. We VoiUcl that every patriot" who receives a letter from an office seeker, especially from candidates for congress and sen ate, would have the energy and frankness posessed by our New York friend. The office holders of this coun try are your servants, not your bosses. Write the what you stand for and tell them that you expect them to support your prin ciples if you support them with your vote. The Meuace. How Catarrh Is Contracted. Mothers are sometimes so thoughtless as to neglect the colds which their children contract. The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, becom es chronic and the chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this loathsome disease will remember having Jiad frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little forethought, a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all this trouble might have been avoided. Obtainable everywhere. Sugar Cured Hams and Bacon. When the meat is cooled, rub each piece with salt and allow it to drain overnight. Then pack it in a barrel with the hams and shoulders m tne bottom, using the strips of bacon to fill in be tween or to put on top. Weigh out for eacb 100 pounds of meat 8 pounds of salt, 2 pounds of brown suerar and two ounces of saltpeter. Dissolve all in 4 gal lons of waters and cover the meat with the crine. For sum mer use it will be safest to boil the brine before using. In that case it should be cooled thorou ghly before it is used. For win ter curing it is not necessary to boil the brine. Bacon strips should remain in this brine four to six weeks; hams six to eight weeks. This is a standard recipe and has given the best of satis faction. Hams and bacon cured in the spring will keep right through the summer n.ft:m thor are smoked. The meat will h sweet and palatable if smoked properly, and the flavor will be I good. ERNEST THOMPSON SHOOTS JAMES GARRETT Only a Flesh Wound Made and Second En counter Prevented by Police. Eugene Thompson, proprietor of the Star Garage, shot James Garrett through the calf of one leg Saturday afternoon and then pointing the pistol at Garrett's made him hold up his hands and walk off, threatening him with death, it is satd, if he did not do as commanded. The shooting occurred on Sou th Main street and was the re sult of alleged reports., Thomson claimed Garrett had been circu lating about him. The matter was reported to the police and when Officer Mingis later arrest ed Thompson and the two were on their way to Thompson's gar age in his machine, they came upon Garrett and bis brother, Fred Garrett, and the latter is said to have asked Thompson a question that brought Thomp son's gun into evidence again, but before he could fire it Fred Garrett had jerked it away from. A general mixup then ensued and officers and citizens finally got the Garrett boys loose from Thompson but not before the difficulty had attracted a great crowd that thronged the streets. All participants were put un der bond for trial. All Worn Out Does morning find you with a lame, stiff and aching back? Are you tired all the time find work a burden? Have you suspected your kidneys?

I don't believe I could mention all the names of the men on the team that won the baseball penant last year," Tory Cheap Politics. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of September 8th carries a Wash ington dispatch under this head: "Reed is Co-Star with Tumulty in the Movies. Senator Will Use Film to Show the Folks in Mis souri He Has High Standing at the White House." It appears that the Democratic Congressmen and Senators kept the camera men busy during the closing days of the last sessio having themselves photographed with Vice-President Marshall when he was available, or with Joseph Patrick Tumulty, Roman Catholic secretary to the Presi- dent, when Mr. Marshall could not be secured. When Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri,, g-ot his turn at the 'movie" man it seems that Mr. Marshall had declared a "strike," so he buttonholed Tumulty, es corted him. to the steps of the executive offices and told the camera man to grind away. No lat as the Democrats are concerned it seems vhat motion pictures are ta play a considerate part in the November election. Mr. Reed's object in posing with Tumulty is told by the Post-Dis- paten in xneionowin paragrapn: i "This film, which is the first of its kind ever posed for around the White House, is to be "exhibit A" in Senator Reed's campaign for re election. It will be disS played in motion picture, shows throughout Missouri as evidence that Senator Reed is on the most friendly terms with the White House and those who are attach ed to it.1' This incident naturally makes one wonder which is the more dignified position, a seat in the United States Senate or a job as private secretary to the Presi- dent. - Anyway, we know of more than one town in Missouri where the exhibition of a picture of the Senator in company with a Rom- 1 an Catholic, Knight of Columbus at the White House will not have a tendency to increase the number of his votes.
