SERIOUS ERROR IN MEYERSDALE. Meyersdale Citizens will do Well to Profit by the Following. Many fatal cases of kidney disease have reached an. incurable stage be- cause the patient did not under- stand the symptoms. Even today in f | Meyersdale there are many residents They at- tribute their mysterious aches and pains to overwork or worry, perhaps, when all the time their rheumatic pains, backache and bladder irreg- ularities are most probably due to weak and ailing kidneys. If you are ill, if your kidneys are out of order, profit by this Meyersdale resident’s experience. John Gress, Meyersdale, Pa., says: ‘*About a year ago I was troubled by my kidneys. My back ached and I was languid. I couldn’t bend over in the morning, as my back felt so lame. A friend recommended | Doan’s Kidney Pills to;me and I used them.

Bartlett had a way of taking one’s hand that was deference itself. “Then you haven't any engagement for -the afternoon?” he inquired. “None whatever,” said she. “It’s such a perfect day,” sald he, “I thought perhaps you'd like to take a little turn in the car—say out Red- fleld way. We could have a cup of tea at the Peach Tree inn.” Barbara made a little grimace. “I'm awfully tired of the Peach Trea and all the other pldces like it. They're so fearfully, fearfully proper.” _ Bartlett looked a little surprised at the outburst, but he said nothing. “rl tell you what T wish you would “Take me down you to do it!” Bartlett debated mentally. “In the car?” he asked. “Car?” said she. “Of course not.

There are the usual hair-rais- {ing amusements, the usual crowd of ,Yenders and fakers, and more or less ‘bard-working pleasure-seekers. i Barbara glanced at her escort out ,of the corner of her eye. He remind- led her of some stately cavalier going to a dog fight. Bartlett followed meekly wherever she led him. He bought the tickets ‘and was just as stately upside down ‘on the loops as he was anywhere else. Barbara, watching him, saw he was trying, in his own stiff way, to enter into the spirit of the occasion. What it must cost him she could well imag- ine. And when he suggested, as they finished the last of the amusements, ‘that they do them all over again, she relented. , “No, take me nome, now,” she said, rather shosily. They alighted at the square.

THREE FRENCH CITIES TAKIN Huge German Army Has Driven Back Allies TEUTONS PUSH INTO FRANCE Kaiser's Forces Occupied Valencien- nes, Roubaix, Longwy and Other Towns After Severe Fighting. Namur Reported Fallen. London, England.—The relentless progress of the great ' war of wars— 'Jestructive, devastating — continues and is marked by many portentious features. .. . The announcement was ‘made that Lille had fallen into the hands of the Germans without a struggle. The Germans have occupied Valen- ciennes, Roubaix, Longwy and other towns after severe fighting, in which the allies were driven back. Germany’s advance was halted along the battle line from a point west of Lille to the Franco-Swiss frontier, while French forces assumed the of- fensive against three huge columns of the Kaiser’s troops commanded by Crown Prince Wilhelm, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria and Buke Al- brecht of ‘Wurtemberg. British troops under command of Sir John French successfully engaged, an advance of Germans which had pushed forward into France and Bel gium. The announcement that all’ the forts at Namur had at last been si- lenced by the Germans; the occupa- tion of Ostend by British marines; the sinking off the west coast of Afri- ca after a fight of the crack North German Lloyd ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which had been preying upon British shipping; the sinking in the Gulf of Finland of the German ship Magdeburg by the Russian fleet; Russia’s preparation for a general at- tack on Berlin in three weeks; Paris making laws for a siege, all make one realize the tremendous catastrophe that has befallen the world. There were fights in many theaters of the great war; but the most seri- ous engagements were along the 200- mile line which the German army took up on the Belgian frontier, but which has been extended into France in sev- eral places. There was no fighting at Lille, Lon- don regards the surrender of Lille as an cpsa sdmission of weakness in the French line of defense. The city has a population of 200, 000, its factories wre of great importance and wealth and its forts were declared to be cap- able of prolonged resistance.
