AMERICAN TROOPS

A T MOSELLE RIVER
Battle Line Now Runs From Hattonville on North to Pagay,
Closing Mouth of St. Mihiel Sack and Trapping All
Germans Remaining There; Important Railways Re
stored to France.
The Aimfican First army has
carried out the initial task assigned
t. it t level ins; of the famous St.
Mihiel salient in Lorraine.
In a little isiore than 2 1 hours not
only had the work been accomplish
ed but Central Pen. hint's men had
all the tjv!i, villages and strategic
.:.iiitns in the sector within tiieir
hands and were landing on the
bank of the Moselle river at Pagny
IiM.king' across th stream into Ger
man territory. And the southern
outer fortifications of Metz, the
great Her ma n stronghold in Lor
raine, were only four miles distant.
Large numbers of Hermans had
h"-n taken prisoner more than 12,
000 had Iscmi counted and others
v.trf still on tlitir way back to the
prisoners' cages and many guns
j;nd machine imitis and great quanti
ties of ammunition and other war
stores were in American hands.

having "limited objectives," it nev
erthciess cannot but have a most
important bearing on the future of
the war. From the straightened
line growing out of the obliteration
of the St. Mihiel salient the Amer
icans now are aligned on territory
from which it i3 possible to get be
hind both the Meuse and Moeselle
rivers and thus make null the re
ported plans of the Germans to
stabilize their front along the Mouse
should they be unable to hold the
allies in the west in check.
Already allied airmen are heavily
bombing the Moselle region arounil
Metz and its outlying fortifications,
having dropped many tons of bombs
on the strategic railways leading:
from the great fortress, and it seem-'
ingly is not without reason to ex
pect that with apparent supremacy
in the air Metz and the surrounding
country henceforth is to be sadly
harassed by the allied flying squad
rons. Meanwhile the maneuvers on the
west front around Cambrai and St.
Quentin should not be lost sight of
hy reason of the prc-sent American
offensive. Here the British and
French daily are enlarging their
gains iu the process of outflanking
and capturing these two important
towns which are all but within their
grasp. Farther to the north in
Flanders the British also are keep
ing up their encroachments iu the
-eion of La Bae and Armentieres.
both of which place. are imperilled.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This is not only one of the best
and most efficient medicines for
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
cough, but is also pleasant 'to take,
which is important when a medicine
must be given to young children.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has
been in use for many years and has
met with much favor wherever its
good qualities have become known.
Many mothers have given it their
unqualified endorsement. Wm.
Scruby, Chillicothe, Mo., writes, "I
have raised three children, have al
ways ued Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and found it to be the best
for coughs, colds and croup. It is
pleasant to take. Both adults and
children like it. My wife and I
have always felt safe from croup
with it in the house." Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic.

LET'S HIRED HELP GO
DOES WORK HERSELF
MRS. T0B0LT ASTONISHED
AT
RESULTS OF TAN LAC
GAINS 20 POUNDS.
"Some wonderful things happen
in this world, and the way Tanlac
has restored my health and built me
up is one of them." said Mrs. Paul
fobolt of 916 California Ave., Butte,
Mont., in one of the most interest
ing and remarkable statements yet
published in connection with the
Master Medicine.
"My trouble started about two
years ago," she continued, "and I
have simply been a nervous wreck
ever since until now. Last January
I went to the hospital where I was
told that my whole system had be
come poisoned by an affected ap
pendix, that an operation was my
only hope and it was doubtful if this
would save me. So I arranged to
have my children cared for, in case
I should not see them again, and
submitted to the operation. Well,
the operation was done with so much
skill, and I was so carefully nursed
that I finally got out of the hospit
al, and was home with my husband
and children again. Then I picked
up wonderfully for a little more than
a month when I began having ter
rible pains in my back over my kid
neys. My appetite leu me, anu
nothing tasted right. I wao consti
pated, had fearful headaches, and
was so nervous I could hardly sleep.
I fell off until I weighed less than
a hundred pounds and was so weak
that it was an effort for me to get
about at all.
"Finally my husband suggested.
that I try Tanlac, as it was being
so much talked about, and the re
sults have astonished us both. I
couldn't see much improvement on
my first bottle, but with the second
my appetite got better, I commenc
ed to feel improved and wa3 sur
prised when I got on the scales, to
find that I had gone up to one
hundred and eight pounds. Well,
the third bottle did wonders for me,
relieving me of all pain and head
ache and making nT want to eat up
everything. I now weigh one hund
red and eighteen pounds, making a
gain of more than twenty pounds on
three bottles, and I'm wondering
what my fourth bottle which I have
just started taking, will do for me.
I sleep like a healthy child, never
waking at night at all and feel like
I could tat five or six meals a day.
I dismissed my hired help, four
weeks ago, after eighteen months
steady service, and since then I have
done all my own housework, cook
ing and everything, I have no more
dull, drowsy bad feelings and life is
a pleasure to me. I can't praise
Tanlac enough for what it has done
for me."
Tanlac is sold in Plattsmouth by
P. G. Fricke & Co., in Alvo by Alvo
Drug Co., in Avoca by O. E. Copes,
in South Bend by E. Sturzenegger,
in Greenwood by E. F. Smith, in
Weeping Water by Meier Drug Co.,
in Elmwood by L. A. Tyson, in Mur
dock by II. V. McDonald and in
Eagle, by F. W. Bloomenkamp."
Good for Biliousness.
"Two years ago I suffered from
frequent attacks of stomach trouble
and biliousness. Seeing Chamber
lain's Tablets advertised I concluded
to try them. I improved rapidly."
