DIG FOR 50-YEAR OLD SNAKE-BITE rContinued From First Page] . 1 days" sojourn in these wilds, with a curious thickness of tongue and a more or less amazing knowledge of strangely-hued animals and things he declared postively native to this sec tion. Generally speaking, the excuse was the same and until latety one got sway with it. One told the wife that snakes were more than ordinarily plentiful and that one had to defend one's self, didn't one, m'dear? All of which lasted until some miserly space thief sent out a story about the com parative absence of snakes in this part of the country. Now, cowardly as it may seem, here's another exposure of what in time might prove to be the basis for many a future alibi. Really, it is all the fault of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. It appears that in this neck of the woods there is considerable swamp land which the company is now attempting to drain so as to make it suitable for building purposes. Here, too, extends the dry bed of the old Pennsylvania canal. During the last few weeks, a big gang of folks with picks and shovels, under the direction of Johnny Doyle, have been busy digging along the edge of the old canal. Most of them, 'tis true, are in the company's employ; some are not. Here's the reason, so tradition hath it: Borne fifty year 3 ago lumbermen buried a companion on the banks of the old canal. Fond o' his nip, he was, so the story goes, and grieving fellowworkers he left behind, were not so sure as to how "Jack's" wants might be satisfied beyond the Veil, when his thirst annoyed him. So they placed a bottle of whisky on his chest when they buried him—a bottle o' whisky on a dead man's chest. Cap tain Kidd stuff, get it? This is the end of the story and per haps you've got the reason for the perspiring activity of the group of pick-and-shovelers who like "theirs without water and the older the bet ter!" So, who cares if the bottom has fallen out of that snake-bite defense? DYSPEPTICS! END STOMACH MISERY, GAS, INDIGESTION *'Pape's Diapepsin" neutralizes acids in stomach and starts digestion. Stops any sourness, heartburn, or food rising in few moments. < The question as to how long you are going to continue c. sufferer from in digesUon, dyspepsia or out-of-order stomach Is merely a matter of how Boon you begin taking some Diapep sin. If your stomach is lacking in diges tive power, why not help the stomach to do its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work In the stomach. People with weak stomachs should take a little Diapepsin occasionally, and there will be no more indigestion, no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn, sour risings, gas on stomach or belching of undi gested food, headaches, dizziness or sick stomach, and besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. All these Bymptoms resulting from a sour, out of-order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes after taking a little Diapepsin. Go to your druggist and get a 50- cent case of Pope's Diapepsin now, and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite, and what you eat will taste good, because your stom ach and intestines will be clean nnd fresh, and you will know there are rot going to be nny more bad nights and miserable days for you. They freshen you and make you feel like life Is war Lb living. MONDAY EVENING, RAJUUBBX7RG OfiSfSft TELEGRAPH . NOVEMBER 20, 1916. CHARITY BAZAR CLEARS $159 Junior Aid Society Girls Pleas ed With Success of Their Sales Saturday Afternoon Tn spite of the competition of foot ball games, the Junior Aid Society's bazar held in the Board of Trade hall on Saturday afternoon was eminently successful, and when the sale closed a little before 6 o'clock it was found that $159 had been emptied into the cash drawers of each of the tables In charge of one or more of the ener getic little salesladies who compose the membership of the society. The cake table touched the high water mark for heavy sales, with J3S net, and the candy table was second in its appeal, with $25 to Its credit. The little girls were all garbed in costumes befitting the nature of their sales and few there were among the buyers who could resist the appeal to charity when clothed in such attrac tive forms.

MONASTIR FALLS BEFORE SERBS WHO ENTER WITH FORCES OF THE FRENCH London, Nov. 20. Monastir has fallen. Outflanked by the Serbs, who drove forward daunt lessly along the ridges to the east, the Bulgars and Germans evacuated the city, the stronghold of Serbian Macedonia. The Serbo-French forces entered at 8 o'clock yesterday moaning. Thus the first fruits of their long and bitter campaign have fallen to King Peter's troops. They have re gained one of their most important citits and aa a symbol of the first great step In reclaiming their land have proclaimed it their capital. The Bulgar-Tcuton forces, swept back by the brilliant assault, ar© re treating in disorder to Prllep. The Serbians took a large number of pris oners and huge stores. They aro push ing aftor the enemy and already have consolidated their positions on the Monastir plain. Great Feat of KTIM . There Is a vast amount of Inspiration in this Serbian feat. A year ago King Peter's army WOJ in wild flight before the invading forces of Mackensen, out numbering them In men and outrang ing them in guns. Pattered nnd rent by the relentless crunching of the German machine, they were driven from llielr last foot hold In their own land. Then began the task of reorganization.

Ridge after ridge fell before the Serbian charge until the Bulgar positions in the low land had been turned. Then the big guns of the Allies were moved forward up the plain as the Teutons, caught\under the enfilading tire of the Serba on the east, were forced to fall back. When the entente artillery opened lire, the Bulgarians had no alternative. They evacuated the city. Sarrall's Great Stroke General Sarrall now lias accom plished the most Important Btroke of the entire Macedonian campaign. It comes at an opportune moment, for It la bound to have an Immense effect on the Rumanian situation. Though the Bulgarians are Btrong enough to con tinue their stiff resistance In Serbia, where the odds are greatly In favor of the defending forces, they can no longer weaken their southern army to aid Von Falkenhayn and Von Macken sen. On the other hand, they may soon find themselves In such a perilous position lhat the German commanders may be forced to draw from their own | forces to save their ally from disaster. I Krnm a military standpoint the re | capture of Monutlr Is extremely im portant. It has already compelled the Bulgnrs to retire some distance to the [north ami east. In a few days they will probably lake no positions extend ing from the Khar Mountains, south joust of PrUrotld, BIOIIK the western I edge of the Yardar Valley. The key WOMAN BREAKS FLYING RECORD Completes Last Lap of Record- Making Trip From Chicago to New York New York, Nov. 20. The record breaking aeroplane flight of Ruth Law, begun yesterday In Chicago, terminated at. Governor's Island here at- 9:40 a. m. to-day after stops at Hornell and Blnghamton, N. Y. The final 152 miles from Blnghamton to this city was covered this morning in 2 hours and 20 minutes and the en tire journey, 83 2 miles in an aeroplane in the actual llying time of 9 hours and one minue. Miss Law was greeted on her ar rval at Governor's Island by Major General and Mrs. Leonard Wood, who congratulated her on her achievement. She was considerably chilled and was taken to tho house of one of the offi cers at the post to recuperate. She had little to say about her flight except that she had to fly much lower than she wanted to, on account of the haze. It was the cause of remarks among those who examined her ma chine here that its structure was such as to expose her to the air more than in the case of most modern aeroplanes. The pilot's seat is placed on a pro jection in front of the machine so that the nviatrix gets the fnll force of the wind. The machine used by Victor Carl strom, previous holder of the Amer ican non-stop record established in a flight November 2 from Chicago to New York, was of the Fusillage type, in the cockpit; of which ho was snugly protected from the wind. In the present flight Miss Law bettered Carl strom's record by about 100 miles, mnking the 590 miles In an airline from Chicago to Hornell, N. Y., where she arrived yesterday without stop ping. ALLIES DRIVE PAST MONASTIR [Continued From First Page] out from the city and prisone?S' and war material captured. Press dispatches depict Monastlr as virtually destroyed by fire and ex plosions and deserted by tho popula tion and describe the rfetreat of its defenders aa a rout. Berlin, however declares the new positions north of Monastir were occupied without en tente pressure being felt and adds that fresh German forces have arrived on the scene. It asserts further that Serbian attempts to advance along the Moglenlca front east of the Monastir region were defeated. The position of Rumania appears increasingly precarious. General Von Falkenhayn's armies are continuing to force their way southward from the Transylvanlan border and Petrograd admits a further retirement of the Rumanians in Jiul Valley region. Near Dragoslavele. northeast of Campulung, the Rumanian troops appear to be offering their most stubborn resistance but Berlin declares the Rumanian at tacks have been delivered by poorly organized forces and have been fruit less. Tho greatest peril to the Rumanians according to tho view of entente mill-* tary critics, lies in the reported cut ting of the railway from the Danube to Craiova, threatening the flank of the Rumanian army south of Vulcan pass and making the position of the Russian army at Orsova hazardous. Tho bad weather along the front in Franco apparently has brought opera tions to a virtual standstill. Neither London or Paris reports any move of importance mado during last night. Berlin, however, mentioned British failures to gain ground yesterday In attempts north of the Ancre near Miraumont and between Scrre and Beaucourt, and the repulse of a French attack on St. Pierre Vaast wood. It also declares the British were driven from the western por tion of Grandcourt south of the Ancre. The situation in Greece apparently has reached another of its critical stages. Following tho demand by the entente for tho turning over of virtually all the arms, urtillery and munitions of the Greek army, It is reported to-day in a news agency dis patch from Athens that the ministers of the central powers have been ordered by tho entente authorities to leave Greece by Wednesday. Dr. Sorge Is Head of Industrial Department in New German War Bnreau Berlin, Nov. 19, via London, Nov. 20. —Dr. Kurt Sorge, the new technical chief of staff to General Groener In the department of munitions, who will head the Industrial department in the new war bureau of the war ministry and upon whom will fall a large share of the responsibility for the creation, maintenance and efficiency of the pro posed "home army" that Is to comple ment and sustain the armies In the field, has arrived at Berlin to take up his new task. Soon after his arrival Dr. Sorge received an Associated Press correspondent, to whom lie expressed confidence that the new organization and general scheme of the home army will prove efficacious and successful. Dr. Sorge showed a keen appre ciation of the interest displayed In America concerning all economic and industrial steps which the warring na tions will take. to this line would be the Babuna Pass, north of Prllep, If the Serbs were ablo to sweep the enemy from that part of the Vardar Valley south of the eastern entrance of Babuna, they would then have the advantage of the Salonikl-Belgrade railroad and could /smash forward to their greatest vic tories. The capture of Monastir Is the hard est blow yet struck to Bulgarian hopes since she emere<> the war on the side of the central powers. The advance of General Sarrall's forces through the mountain barriers across the Serbian border lias been one of the most bril liantly conducted operations of the war. Monastir, a town of about 45,000 population in peace timeft, was the capital of the villayet of Monastir un der Trukisli rule before the first Balkan war. Serbia took it as part of her share of the spoils after the secondv Balkan conflict. It was held out as a bait to Czar Ferdinand by the Kaiser when Prussian diplomats were seeking to bring Bulgaria into the war and the campaign In Serbia at the request of Czar Ferdinand until the city was occupiod.
