RAPIDITIf OF RUSSIA ADVANCE
IN GALICIA IS AMAZING
Colossal Proportions of Austrian Losses—Roads Crowded
With Abandoned Artillery, Transport Wagons, Arms and
Ammunition
Petrograd.—This summary of recent
fighting in Galicia has been made pub
lic through semi-official sources:
‘'Russian troops are pursuing the
Austrians with energy and the defeat
of the enemy continues. Certain Aus
trian army corps have been virtually
annihilated. Russian forces have
passed the river San.
The eastern Russian advance guard
is approaching Przemysl. The rapid
ity with which military operations are
being conducted has made it impos
sible to determine accurately the loss
es of the enemy but it may be said
that they are becoming colossal. Ac
cording to such information as has
come to hand the Austrians have lost
in the neighborhood of 25Q.000 men in
killed and wounded, this in addition to
100,000 prisoners, 400 pieces of ord
nance and a number of standards.
Roads Crowded.
In all directions the roads are crowd
ed with artillery, transport wagons and
arms and ammunition which have been
abandoned in mass during the pre
cipitate rout of the enemy. On the

MRS. LYON’S
ACHES AND PAINS
Have All Gene Since Taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound.
Terre Hill, Pa.—“ Kindly permit me
to give you my testimonial in favor of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. When I first
began taking it I
was suffering from
female troubles for
some time and had
almost all kinds of {
aches —pains in low
er part of back and
in sides, and press
ing down pains. I
could not sleep and
Since I have taken
jj^lE
had no appetite.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound the aches and pains are all gone
and I feel like a new woman. I cannot
praise your medicine too highly.’’—Mrs.
Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman’s
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman’s ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman’s ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health —many of them openly state
overtheirown signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

river Vistula, Russian troops have
taken possession of an accumulation
of material for bridge building and
they destroyed several steamers, one
of which was armored.
The desperate efforts of German
troops to save the Austrian army from
utter rout should be recorded.
The active participation of German
army corps In the fighting has been
revealed at several different places
along the Austrian front, as for in
stance at Tourbine.
Taken byßussiana.
The Russians captured 38 pieces of
long-range German artillery in addi
tion to some 6,000 German prisoners
at this point. At other places on the
front several dozen large German guns,
many of which had been prevented by
lack of time from being used in the
fighting, fell Into their hands.
In conclusion, this announcement of
Russian successes declares that the
succor sent by Germany did not save
the Austrians and that the heavy de
feat inflicted -upon the Germans has
contributed to the brilliancy of th#
Russian victories.

THE NEGRO WHO WOUNDED
AIKEN MAN NOT
APPREHENDED
Aiken, S. C.—Sheriff Howard stated
today that the negro, Luoius Johnson,
who attacked Mr. John Shellhouse
with a razor on last Saturday after
noon seriously wounding him, had not
been apprehended but that he had a
good clue to his wherabouts and that
he was expecting an arrest at any mo
ment.
From the officers who went to the
scene of the shooting Saturday night
the following story was learned: Mr.
Shellhouse, in company with a Mr.
Yaun and Lucius and Kate Johnson,
husband and wife, colored, started
home Saturday afternoon from Aiken
and when near Mr. Belton Courtney’s
place, about six miles from Aiken,
Johnson and Shellhouse became in
volved in a difficulty. Shellhouse was
knocked down and the negro got on
top of him and with a razor cut Shell
house’s face and head into ribbons.
Mr. Yaun went to Mr. Courtney’s for
help and Dr. Hammond was called.
The negro had fled and Mr. Shellhouse
was taken to his home and the wounds
sewn up.
Sheriff Howard and Rural Policemen
Holley and Samuels went to the scene
but were unable to do anything Sat
urday night. However, on Sunday
morning the sheriff and officer Sam
uels returned to the scene and tracked
the negro and hie wife all day. The
trail was finally lost and no arrest
was made.
From the last report Mr. Shellhouse
was resting well and it is thought that
he will recover If blood poisoning does
not set In. He Is the son of Mr. Henry
Shellhouse, one of Aiken's prominent
farmers.
BAD COLD? TAKE
CASCARETS FOR
BOWELSJONIGHT
No headache, constipation, bad
cold or sour stomach
by morning.
Get a 10-eent box.
Sick headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, head and nose clogged up with
a cold—always trace this to torpid
liver: delayed, fermenting food In the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged In the In
testines, Instead of being cast out of
the system is. re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue It causes conges
tion and that dull, throbbing, sicken
ing headache.
Cascarets immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and pois
ons In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep—a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months.

Selling the Public Good Health
The experiment of the Batavia, N. Y., Board of
Health, in using newspaper advertising to promote
sanitation is attracting attention all over the country.
What the city is doing is buying newspaper space
to sell the citizens good health.
It is an example other cities could copy with profit
—and many are planning to do so.
A few thousand dollars spent in educating the pub
lic to prevent disease may save many thousands that
might have to be spent in stamping out an epidemic.
Municipal and state health officials interested in
what is being done in this direction are invited to
address the Bureau of Advertising, American News
paper Publishers Association, World Building, New
York.
