Lt'Mß New Vice-President Rotary Club KAISER MAKES MOST OF DEMORALIZATION [Continued From First Page] The extraordinary measures taken by the German censorship to pre vent the outside world from learn ing: conditions in the empire have been largely successful, but some facts could not be concealed. Pos sibly for the first time In history ■ revolution and a German republic ' have been openly talked about in | the Reichstag and most significant i of all apparently the authorities do not dare Jo check the growing au dacity of the radicals; in fact the pressure of the malcontents has be come so great as *o force the gov ernment to hastily withdraw its re fusal to permit radical socialist dele gates to attend the international So cialist conference at Stockholm. Germany Needs Food The food situation in Germany also appears to be- growing more steadily worse and alarm is express ed in various quarters that the avail able supply will not suffice to feed 1 the nation until the next harvest. | The effusive promises with which the administration checked the May day strike agitation have proved hollow and there are complaints that the attempt to substitute meat for i bread Is seriously diminishing the [ country's stock of milk animals. Apart from France the news of Importance in the war regions comes from the Italian front. Gen eral Cadorna has opened an offensive on the Isonzo line but the reports from Vienna and Rome are diametri cally opposed as to the initial re sults. The Italians have made some gains In the direction of Triest but it Is too early as yet to judge how the'operation will develop. Fighting in France On the front In France the hard fighting has been confined to" the Bullecourt sector and the region north Ok the Scarpe in the Arras battle area and to a strip about two and one-half miles in length on the western end of the Aisne front. Correspondents' dispatches from lithe Bullecourt region report General Haig's troops as having reclaimed j virtually all the ground they had lost within the confines of the ruin ed village and to have established | new posts west of Bullecourt. As to the fighting north of Scarpe, which I the British press bureau reports as | severe in character, there is nothing j in the official account to give a clue | to its definite import or the way it > is trending. | A new German attack on the • French lines was delivered along a | four-kilometer stretch in the re gion of the Laffaux mill, where the ! French front bends northward west lof the Chemin-dt-s-Dames plateau. | Thq French positions here were i maintained in spite of repeated pow | erful assaults by the Crown Prince's i troops.

Infantry Move Forward "Undeterred by this tempest of fire | the Italian infantry towards noon i leaped over the parapets and dashed resolutely forward towards the ob jectives previously assigned. These positions were almost all difficult ones and some of them hitherto had been regarded as impregnable; such for. instance, as the heights on the left bank of the Isonzo from Plava to Saicano pass. The steep slopes, covered with rocks r.nd dotted here and there with thick clumps of brush constituted a formidable ob stacle to an Infantry advance. Suc cessive and offensive material, were defended by seasoned troops and pro tected by batteries placed so as to flank attackers with their fire. "Notwithstanding these conditions the Italian injsntry advanced and still continues to advance. Valuable positions have been won and prison ers are flowing into our concentra tion camps. "Our aviators co-operated with j great effect by bold and ceaselerfs re | connalsances. by skilful regulation of j the artillery fire and bombardment ; of depots and convoys and by bril | llant combats with Austrian air- I planes."

Executive— CATARRH IS NOT INCURABLE But You Can't Rely On Sprays and Inhalers There is no use permitting yourself to be deceived. Per haps, like thousands of others afflicted with Catarrh, ,you are about ready to believe that the disease is incurable, and that you arc doomed to spend the re mainder of your days hawking and spitting, with no relief in sight from inflamed and stop ped-up air passages that make the days miserable and the nights sleepless. Of course this all depends upon whether or not you are willing to continue the old-time, make-shift methods of treatment that you and many other suf ferers have used for years with no substantial results. If you are still content to depend upon the use of sprays, douches, in halers, jellies and other like remedies by themselves, that are a'pplied to the surface and can not reach below it, then make' up your mind now that your Ca tarrh will remain a life com panion and will follow you to the grave. You must realize that the disease itself, and not its symp toms, is what you have to cure. Of course you know that when your are cured of any disease its symptoms will disappear. Ca tarrh manifests itself by inflam mation of the delicate mem branes of the pose and air pass ages, which choke up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause. Mrs. M. S. Wesserman, of 409 Clark St., St. Charles, Mo., tells of her experience in the fol -1 lowing words( jard to Drop Meat? All depends on what you eat as a substitute. It is a good time to study "food value." You may be eating the wrong foods, the foods that cost most and give the least nutriment. Shredded Wheat Biscuit contains more real, body building nutriment, pound for pound, than meat, eggs or potatoes and costs much less. Two of these Biscuits with milk and a little fruit make a nourishing meal at a cost of a few cents. Make Shredded Wheat your , "meat." A satisfying break fast on which to start the day's work.

S. because she realized that Catarrh is a blood disease, and the only sensible treatment is through the blood. The blood is laden with the Ca tarrh germs, which direct theit attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germs can not be reached by sprays or douches, which, of course, have no effect whatever upon the blood. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable blood remedy, made from roots and herbs direct from the for est, which combat promptly any disease germs or impuri ties in the blood. This great remedy has been used for more than fifty years, with most sat isfactory results.
