Vith the American Army in

jected to an extraordinarily heavy
as attack.
The attack began last night and
continued at intervals until this morn

sent over by the Germans.,were shells
f high explosives.
SHELLED NEAR TOJL.
The Germans energetically shelled
ihe American lines and batteries
aorthwest of Toul last night and this
morning, employing minnenwerfers
it some places. In view of the in
tensity of the bombardment it is sur
prising what little damage was done.
GERMAN GUNS ARRIVE,
The visibility being extraordinarily
food this morning, the American ob
tervers saw long lines of German ar
tillery entering the enemy sector far
in the rear. German airplanes, which
attempted to cross the. American lines

One of the units which will go to

tle. New equipment was issued to
the men and their rifles, guns and ma
chine guns were put in first class con
dition. It was made sure that every
weapon was ready for instantaneous
work.
Many of the men took the oppor
tqity of the halt to write home, for
it probably will be the last real chance
they will have to do so for some time.
Many of the men marched today
through mile of tree-lined roads
which were just faintly green with
newly budding spring leaves. Women
and children distributed flowers to the
singing and whistling marchers at
many points. The Americans stuck
the bouquets in the muzzles of their
rifles or in their hats.

SUPPORT OF WAR

Both Parties Are Represented.
Washington Buresa of The
Omaha Iter, 1311 (i Street.
Washington. April 4. (Special Tel
egram.) Senator Kenyon of Iowa
received a telegram yesterday from
the chairman of the Iowa democratic
state committee informing him that
the democrats of that state had de
cided not to nominate a democratic
candidate for the United States sen
atorship to succeed him.
This action was taken on the
ground of appreciation of his support
of the national administration war
measures, and was highly gratifying
to Senator Kenyon.
It has been intimated that like
procedure may follow in Idaho, where
there will be two senatorial vacancies
to fill this fall. It is thought the dem
ocrats of Idaho may not nominate a
democrat to oppose Senator Borah
republican.
In such event, it is said. tliey would
expect the republicans not to put up
a man to run against Senator Nugent,
democrat, who was appointed to till
a vacancy caused by the death of Sen
ator Brady, republican.
Not Favorably Received.
Some republicans in the senate, fol
lowing the maxim, "Beware of the
Greeks bearing gifts," are disposed to
look askance upon these proffers of a
50-50 division, especially in a state
where the republicans are normally
in the majority.
They point out that in Wisconsin
the democrats made no such offer in
their confidence of being able to elect
a democratic senator, but insisted that
their candidate was the only simon-
pure patriot.
These republicans further argue
that a plan such as appears to be
suggested by the intimated Idaho
offer would result in a net gain of one
democratic senator, as they contend
that the democrats could not beat
Senator Kenyon anyhow in Iowa,.and
that the probabilities point to the re
publicans being able to elect both
senators in Idaho.

HEALTH
NEURALGIA
FOLLOWS
SPINAL
PRESSURE
There ia a point at the base of
the neck in the spinal region
where soreneM ef the nerve is
often found.
To the trained chiropractor who
lenows when he lias found the
precise spot, this indicates de
rangement of the spinal joints at
that point, a slight derangement
oftentimes, yet sufficient to ca'tse
pressure upon the nerve leaving ,
the spine at a point between th
spinal joints.
The , neuralgia may come and
go. but those who have taken
spinal adjustments for this trou
ble at my hands find that it re
mores the cause and that natural
and lasting relief follows.
A free, analysis of your
spine plaees you undeV no
obligation whatever.

Opportunity Comes-But Once
Once upon a time there was a Desperate Beetle-Braia who absolutely, knew that Oil Investments were all Bosh,
also a drag on Legitimate Enterprise and a Ghastly Waste of Money. To prove his point he determined never,
"So Help Him Hanner," would he buy Oil Stocks. Instead of which he invested in what happened to loom up and
looked good to him. His friends, knowing his whim, kindly left him alone on the subject of Oil. For years it was
the habit of this Beetle-Brain to invest a hundred here and a hundred there, hut that ended it there were.never
any return He kept wishing that somebody would tip him off how to Get Rich Quick, until one fine morning the
daily paper ran a big heading, "Monster Gusher Brought In Yesterday." And down in the story he discovered
the name of his neighbor, and he had made a fortune over night.
Moral: He now invests every spare dollar in Oil, where the company can show good signs of future develop
ment, and the MONARCH OIL AND GAS COMPANY shows wonderful signs qf Doing Big Things.
MR. REQUA, United States Oil and Gas Administrator
has said that it is almost a patriotic duty of everyone to promote the' Oil and Gas industry of the United States to
the greatest possible extent. Oil, particularly, is. as important a factor as our boys in the trenches. Now, do your
duty to the boys "ever there," and yourself buy all you can.

realities in OIL today

There is one sure way" that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ouncesf plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
By morninpr, most if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely des
troy every single sign and trace of it,
no matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hatr will be, fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It - is ; inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known "
to fail. Advertisement. - '
