EIGHT T/IOUSAND PRISONERS
ANO LOME GUNS REPORTED
LO-'JT BY THE FRENCH ARMY
Invaders Have Penetrated French
Center At One Point To Depth
Of About Six Miles
New York.—The Germans in the
center of their new attack on the
front between Montdidier and Noyon
have gained additional ground against
the French, but on both the right and
left wings they are being held. In
violent successive attacks they cap
tured the villages of Mery, Belloy and
St. Maure and also pressed forward
and gained the footing in the village
of Marqueglise, the last named place
representing the deepest point of pen
etration since the offensive began—
between five and six miles.
The battle is described by corre
spondents as one of the most furious
; that has been fought since the war be-
i gan, with the enemy usually reck-
j less in wasting life to gain his objec-
! tives.
The latest official communication
from the German war office says ad
ditional ground has been gained by the
Germans southwest of Noyon against
newly brought up French reinforce
ments and that the Germans have tak
en about eight thousand prisoners and
some guns.

$500,006 WORTH OF
EGGS SPOIL YEARLY
Swatting the Rooster May Pre
vent This Loss
In Georgia alone, each year, J500.-
000 worth of eggs spoil because of
neglect or carelessness. This loss
represents 10C7 of all eggs produced or
3 egg out of every 10 layed.
The quickest and most effective way
to correct ibis great loss will be to kill
the rooster. A fertile egg will dete
riorate much quicker than an infer
tile egg because in the former the
embryo starts to develop ar. approxi
mately 70 degrees. As it is impossi
ble. to keep eggs below That temper
ature in summer, the egg is bound to
spoil. Therefore, as soon as the breed
ing season is over, catch the rooster.
The very best males may be sepa
rated from the hens for the next year,
hut those not exceptionally good
should be fattened and eaten or sold.
Keep the nest free from mites by
spraying occasionally with kerosene
oil. Provide clean nest well bedded
with hay, straw or excelsior and the
The Pneumonia Season.
The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the
time to be careful. Pneumonia often
results from a cold. The quicker a
cold is gotten rid of the less the
danger. As soon as the first indica
tion of a cold appears take Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. As to the
value of this preparation, ask any
one who has used it.
hens will not be tempted to lay out
around barns, etc. Eggs should he
collected twice a day and kept in a
cool place during hot weather. Mar
ket eggs at least rwice a week.
All thin shelled, extra large or ab-
normanv small eggs should be con
sumed ai home. If eggs are soiled,
clean them with vinegar, but dry egg
immediately with dry cloth. An egg
that ha* been washed will deteriorate |
very soon.
In snort, the quickest way to improve
the market egg and prevent an enor
mous loss to the farmer will be to j
produce infertile eggs, collect and \
market often, and consume at home ;
all but the best.
The consumer can help in this work i
by purchasing only eggs that are
guaranteed to be fresh.—Prof. J. H.
Wood. State College cf Agriculture.
No Compromise With Prussianism
Schenectady, Nt Y.—“Prussianism
and the idea of enduring peace among
nations can never be brought into har
mony; compromise cannot even be
considered,’’ Secretary Lansing declar
ed here in an address as honorary
chancellor of Union college for 1918.
Instance after intsance from his own
experience were cited to prove bis
point, because, he asserted, “Ameri
cans, even those intellectually equip
ped, have hut vague ideas of the at
titude which made Prussianism pos
sible.”
Conscience Objectors Are Sentenced
San Antonio, Texas.—Sentences of
life imprisonment were imposed by a
courtmartial here upon 45 "conscien
tious objectors” who had refused to
wear army uniforms. The sentence
was reduced to 25 years each by Brig.
Gen. J. P. O'Neil, who reviewed the
records. Brigadier General O’Neil des
ignated Fort Leavenworth, Kans., as
the prison of confinement. They will
be sent immediately to that place. The
men are nearly all from Oklahoma and
members of the Mennonite faith.

10°PALE PEOPLE—
YOUR BLOOD MAY BE
STARVING FOR
Jt Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New
Compound of Iron, Which Acts as a Strength
ening Tonic, Enriching the Blood and
Building up the System.
When your blood lacks the proper proportion oi red corpuscles to give your
-complexion the “rosy hue of health” and your complexion is pale, “pasty-look
ing” , perhaps even greenish-tinged, you are probably of an anemic or chlorotic
nature, and your blood needs Ziron, to bring back the rich, red flush of health.
Ziron. the new compound of iron, the hypophosphites of lime and soda, and
other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been found of great value in conditions
of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness, lack of ambition, loss cf appe
tite, dyspepsia, etc. It is a valuable' reconstructive tonic, in cases of weakness,
and helps build up the constitution after severe illness.
Mrs. Mae Belle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga., writes: “About two months ago
1 got to feeling badly. My back hurt me badly, and my legs and arms hurt too,
and I didn’t have any appetite at all to eat. About two weeks ago ! commenced
taking Ziron, according to directions on the bottle ... By the time 1 had taken the
medicine for a week, I could see it was doing me good. I had been weak and
nervous, and it made me feel stronger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My back is
all right, and my arms and legs do not ache. And my appetite is good again.
Before 1 started using Ziron I wouldn’t rest at night, I was so tired reeling and
■felt worn out. I have used nearly the whole bottle and now 1 sleep fine every
night. It sure is a fine medicine, and I am glad I tried it.”
Ziron is non-alcoholic, contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, has no bad
after-effects, is good for men, women and children. It is a medicine of genuine
merit, composed of ingredients prescribed by eminent physicians. Try it.

An ample supply of eggs for use
next winter may be put under water-
glass now and kept in excellent con
dition until then. Water-glass may be
brought at. your drug store and a quart,
costing twenty to thirty cents, will pre
serve fifteen dozen eggs. A five gallon
container will hold the number of eggs
very conveniently.
In preserving eggs the essential
point is to have fresh, clean, infertile
eggs. However, fertile eggs may be
used if kept cool prior to being pre
served. Eggs should be collected from
nest twice a day as hear from hens
starts developments in the egg. If
eggs are slightly soiled, they may be
cleaned with vinegar.
The container should be cleaned
thoroughly. Mix one part of water
glass with nine parts of water, which
has been heated to boiling and cooled.
This amount will cover fifteen dozen
eggs. The mixture is poured into con
tainer, and the eggs are then added un
til two inches from top of solution.
If a large number are to be preserved j
at once, it is a little easier to place j
eggs in container and then add the j
mixed solution. A cover should then j
be placed on to prevent evaporation. j
Keep preserved eggs in cool place, j
Eggs are easier to preserve than |
fruit or vegetables so one can blame j
himself only if he is without eggs next
winter. Every home should'put down |
several dozen, depending on the size j
of the family. Even the producer can
realize a fine profit by this method.
Water-glass eggs sold last winter as
high as Sixty cents a dozen and were
preserved when eggs were twenty-five
cents a dozen at a cost of three cents
a dozen. Eggs have been kept four
teen months in water-glass and then
considered better than storage eggs.
Very few people realize the import
ance and value of preserving eggs in
the home for winter use. From pres
ent indications the output of eggs this
coming winter will be considerably
decreased while the consumption, ow
ing to the scarcity of other foods, is
and will be greatly increased. This
will cause the few available eggs to
cost more than last winter.
A person preserving eggs at this
time is rendering bis country a serv
ice by helping next winter’s food sup
ply and at the same time making a
a profit or a saving of at least twenty-
five cents a dozen. For further Infor
mation see your Home Demonstration

A Child’s Savings
May Shorten
The War
The war is costing the combined
aiiies more than $30,000,000 an hour.
The daily fate of this huge sum is
simple waste. A shortening of the
war by days or even hours would
mean the redemption of colossal
waste.
We must bend every financial ef
fort towards shortening the war.
Every small amount invested by a
child in Thrift Stamps tends to
wards this end. The influence of
every Thrift Stamp purchased is a
little momentum toward earlier vic
tory.
Thus a child’s savings may be in
strumental in definitely shortening
this war and in saving many times
its own value in money, to say noth
ing of conserving human life.
Encourage your child to invest in
4% interest-bearing Thrift Stamps
instead of merely hoarding his pen
nies in a tin bank.
Thrift Stamps cost 25 cents each
and may be bought at the postoffice,
from your mail carrier and at most
stores.
