FRIDAY EVENING,
j bints about ways to avoid sorrow in
j t he season of joy.
I The marshal gives these hints:
Where possible, electricity should be
used for lighting trees or for deco
rative purposes and the wiring should
be done by a competent electrician.
If trees are to be lighted other than
by electricity, see that the children do
not light or relight the candles. Fre
quently clothing is set afire by per
mitting this. Aioid the possibility.
The tree will also burn when dry. Bet
ter no lights than to run the risk of
having aVi innocent child lose its life
through neglect to observe precaution
for its safety.
Paper, cotton or other decorations
of an inflammable material should
never be used. Use metallic tinsel or
, asbestos material.
See that trees are securely fastened
tirely different you'll feel in a very
short time.
It doesn't matter how long you
have suffered, how old you are, or
what you have used. The very
principle of Solvax is such that it is
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without some
beneficial, results.
Solvax is pleasant to take, gives
quick relief and has been so uniformly
successful that H. C. Kennedy and
other leading dealers in this vicinity
will in future sell it under a positive
guarantee of relief or refund the
money. No other kidney remedy we
believe ever had a large enough per
centage of cures so that It could be
sold In this manner. A guarantee
like this speaks volumes for the merit
of Solvax.
There is no time like the present to
do a thing thai ought to be uone. If
anyone has kidney trouble to-day is
the best time to begin curing it.—

to the floor so that the children cannot
pull the tree over when reaching for
things.
If presents are distributed from the
ree, either at home or at a public en
tertainment, care should be taken In
handling them to avoid the possibility
of a fire.
Avoid mechanical toys that require
alcohol or gasoline or other dangerous
oil to operate them.
Never permit cotton to be used be
leath trees to give the appearance of
mow. If the appearance of snow is
lesired, use mineral wool or asbestos,
't will not burn and gives a better
effect than cotton.
Matches should never be left within
he reach of children. Keep them in
metal boxes and out of reach.
Don't let smokers throw lighted
Mgars, cigarets or matches about in a
careless manner.
Be constantly on the watch for any
thing that might cause fire. Have
merriment, and plenty of it, but avoid
nourning by the avoidance of care
lessness.
Strive to prevent casualties, but be
•iropared for any emergency by hav
'ng placed conveniently fire extinguish
ers or buckets filled with water.
Teach the children to be careful;
show them the danger of fire. Drill
'hem at home; nothing appeals to the
hildren more than drilling, and when
■>nce they are made to realize the
'lenefit of knowing how to protect
hemselves in case of fire it will enable
hem to better care for themselves in
'ime of danger.

ARTIFICIAL SAUSAGE SKIN'S
A German butcher has recently pat
ented in this country a process for
making artificial sausage skins from
libers of animal sinews. According to
the inventor of these libers, which
may be purchased very cheaply from
abattoirs, may be cleaned more thor
oughly than the intestinal skin. The
sinews are digestible and il will lio
no harm If pieces of the skin are
swallowed.—January Popular Science

RARRTSBURG TELEGRAPH
HARD SHELL FIRE
PRECEDED BATTLE
Enough Wreckage Still Litters
Field of Champagne to
Show Effects
TRENCHES DEATH TRAPS
Soldiers Forced to Burrow
Down While Explosions
Roared Around Them
(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Chalons, France, De£. 17.—There
was still wreckage enough remaining
on the battlefield of Champagne three
weeks after the battle was fought to
give some idea of the havoc of de
struction when it was fresh after the
advance. Within a space fifteen miles
!n length by from one to three in
breadth at least a million men were
engaged on both sides; twenty-five
thousand prisoners were taken; and
[at least two or three shells for every
man engaged was tired.
That sheet of preparatory shell Are i
which had descended upon fifteen
miles of German front trenches had
meant a swath of slaughter to start
with. For three days, night and day,
this bombardment continued. Accord
ing to the accounts of German prison
ers they could only hug the shelter of
their subterranean chambers under
their crumbling parapets. A wall of
artillery fire back of the trenches
kept the supplies from reaching them.
In front of the trenches the continued
crash of shrapnel blasts was cutting
the barbed wire. For months the
French had been accumulating am
munition which they poured out from
every caliber of gun.
Smashed and Killed
This shell fire not only killed and
wounded Germans; not only made the
most elaborate trenches into dust
heaps but littered the field with
smashed German caissons transport
wagons clothing equipment and all the
Impediments of an army. There was
peace in the German trenches for the
first time in three days as the wave
of F'rench infantry rushed for the
German trenches. Then the French
guns stopped firing lest they kill their
own men. The wave had not more
than two hundred years to go. Esti
mate the time that it takes the ave
rage man to run that distance and you
have the time it look the French sol
diers to reach the wreckage which
had been the German trenches and
grapple with any survivors in the
dugouts. In some places the wave
swept on beyond the trench like the
tide running up an inlet. The Ger
mans between such forces were caught
in a pair of pincers. This accounted
for the prisoners who were taken in
batches. They were surrounded by
infantry with no way of retreat upon
to them.
"Only the little things now remain,"
said a French soldier who was sal
vaging in the ruins of the German re
doubt of La Poche—"The Pocket"—
in the famous Trou Bricot section.
"At the start, of course, we buried the
dead and gathered up the broken ma
chine guns which had been destroyed
by out gunfiring,"
Yyros Is Example
The town of Ypres in the British
lines probably remains the most col
losal example of shell fire. But Yqres
was a town. It was not built to with
stand shell fire, but as home for men
in time of peace. In trou Bricot the
Germans with the science and amaz
ing industry, which characterize their
operations, had set out to build them
selves a bastion which would with
stand the kind of fire they had visited
upon Yyres. They had been at work
for many months perfecting it from
time to time, enlarging and strength
ening it, busy as ants in a hill. It was
a vast warren of sandbags bristling
with machine guns—a knuckle-like
salient in the German front line.
Small forests of barbed wire guarded
it right and left. It was as proof
against shrapnel as a slate roof
against hail. The explosion of any
high explosive shell was localized in
one of a multitude of chambers built
with a view to receiving such visitors.
Shafts in the earth underneath the
whole offered further protection. In
the center was sort of well in the
midst of the walls of sandbags where
the occupants might enjoy immunity
from anything except bomb from the
air.
Tore Big Hole
But the French guns showered tons
upon tons of shells upon La Poche
for those three days. When a cham
ber was destroyed they gave the Ger
mans no time to repair it. For sev
enty-two hours the blasts of explo
sions were tearing at that dedoubt —
a hurricane of all the big calibers
from six to fifteen-inch with some
smaller ones thrown in for good meas
ure. Underneath La Poche at the end
of a French mine rested a huge charge
of explosive. That was fired just be
fore the infantry charged. It car
ried Germans and sandbags heaven
ward in a cloud two or three hundred
feet high and left a crater of at least
one hundred feet In depth and one
hundred and fifty feet in width. Any
Germans who survived were in the
pall of dust from it as the French
infantry charged over the bare space
where the barbed wire had been de
stroyed by guns which were given
this part of the work to do. In ten
minutes from the time that the
French infantry left their trenches
they were in full possession of La
Poche. I
"It was easy, monsieur," said a sol
dier, "easier than some much simpler
fortifications which we fought later
on where the shells had not fallen so
thickly. We rushed in and we look
ed around —for somebody to fight
with. But there was no one. For the
most part there was nothing but the
fragments of men; and there were
men lying about trying to apply first
aid bandages and a few stunned, un
hurt. What could they do but yield.
Those who sought refuge down that
shaft, there, were all burled alive;
and we dug out a few who still had
the breath of life in them from that
shaft yonder."
From the highest point of the ruins
one looked right and left along the
front line of German trenches which
had been so elaborately dug and were
broken, half filled ditches as the re
sult of that terrific concentration of
gunfire; and the same thing was to
be seen in the region of Loos where
the British guns had wrought the
same kind of havoc.
