Whole Battalions Wiped
Out by Terrific Fire
STRASBURG ATTACKED
the Associated Press). —Attacks that
In bitterness and aetermination lack
description; losses that run into thou
sands; desperate, heroic, useless infan
try assaults following hour-long ar
tillery fire, have characterized the ter
rible struggle between the Italian and
Austrian forces along the lower Isonzo
river.
When the war shall have ended It is
doubtful whether Neuve Chapelle and
Ypres will stand out more grimly ter
rible than some of the bloody battles
of early July along the Astro-Italian
frontier.
A picture of the green Isonzo liter
ally afloat with bodies; of the meadows
and fields along Its course a veritable
shambles; of whole companies and
battalions wiped out of existence on
both sides; of prowling night attacks
checked by ghost-like searchlights, and
of almost unbearable artillery fire de
stroying everything in its path, is
drawn by Leonhard Adelt, correspond
ent of the Berliner Tageblatt In a dis
patch from the Isonzo frontier.
CIRCUS DAY IS COMING
"When the circus comes to town"
is what people are saying to each
other these pleasant days and THE
circus that they mean is the Jones
Bros.' Big Three-Ring Circus which is
greater and bigger than ever this sea
son as the Jones Bros, are now offer
ing their new, big, giant, threefold cir
cus combined in one. This colossal
organization will exhibit here on
Thursday, August 5. This mammoth
amusement enterprise with Its myriad
of high-clase performers and train
loads of the most valuable beasts of
the jungle offer the cleanest, grandest
and most instructive entertainment
ever presented in this city. Every
thing imaginable in the way of train
ed animals—domestic and wild—is
given, from the smallest monkey to
the largest elephant. No show on
earth exhibits finer specimens of high
school and high jumping horses. An
interesting performance by Shetland
ponies appeals to the children. Among
the hundred arenlc acts are astonish
ingly clever and accomplished acro
batic exploits; equllibristic feats of
strength, acts of deftness and dexter
ity; difficult ladder balancing acts;
also an innovation is being presented
this year in the way of a novel danc
ing exhibit, participated in by a num
ber of perfectly formed young women.
The Nymphs of the Sta.tues—the act
beautiful has aroused unprecedented
enthusiasm. The Jones Bros, have left
nothing undone in their efforts to pre
sent the finest circus in the world.
The mile-long parade, starting at 10
o'clock a. m., tells the story. Nothing
finer has ever been shown than this
glittering pageant of unsurpassed
grandeur; the shining coats of blooded
horses, the gilded chariots, the satin
robes of the riders. This is the show
to which you will take your wife, your
mother or your sweetheart; this Is' the
show that givs what it advertises—
the show that pleases.—Advertise

Thi# Will Remove
Hair or Fuzzy Growths
(Toilet Tips)
A safe, certain method for ridding
the skin of ugly, hairy growths is as
follows: Mix a paste with some pow
dered delatone and water, apply to

rub off, wash the skin and the hairs
are gone. This is entirely harmless
and seldom requires repeating, but
to avoid disappointment it Is advisable
to see that you get genuine delatone.
