THE NEWEST DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY This is a recent discovery of Doctor Pierce, who is head of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflam- mation -as backache, scalding urine and frequent urination, as well as sedi lent in the urine, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, it is simply wonderful how sorely "Amnion acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accom- pany the disease rapidly disappear. Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a 50 -cent package of ,tAnuric,,' manufactured by I)r. Pierce, or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a Iarge trial package. If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a sample of your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Pierce's chemist will examine it,. then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or charge. NOTE: -French scientists affirm that "Anuric" is thirty-seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric - acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given by grown-ups who sactuall be to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one box --or more in extreme cases --as "Anuric"" (thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement). is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable. Dr. Pierce's Pellets are the original little Liver Pills. One little Pellet for a laxative -three for a cathartic.

OFFENSIVE CONTINUES Caertnan Drive tias Been Check, ed But Nut Yet Broken. It is Expected That the Violent Ger- man Attacks on the West Front Will Satin Be Tried Against the British -- Damage inflicted on German End of Bridge Over Yser Canal at Steenstraete. LONDON, Feb. 1.—That the Ger- DMA offensive, though temporarily checked by tbe French, is not ended and that it will be tried on the Brit - tali soon is shown by an official state- ment issued by the War Office last night. It states that a scout party entered German trenches near tbe road from. Kennel to Wytschaetn the latter being seven utiles south of Ypres, and found thein full of men. Paris asserts that the German at- tacks have „neatly diminished, and it is unofficially stated that the Ger- man drive. in Artois has been broken. Last night's report from Paris tells of; serious damage inflicted on the German end of the bridge aver the Teter Canal at Steenstraete and further wrecking of the German works to the south of Roye by the French artillery. The German offensive , cainci- dent with the Kaiser's birthday, which began with the attack on the allied positions at Nieuport and eon- tinued with an attack in the region of Neuvilie-St. Vaast, attained suc- cess Friday in attacks at three points In Artois, the first to the north-west of the Napoli farm, north-east of Neuville-St. Yeast; the second near St. Laurent. in the Arras sector, and the third in the sector of Frise. south ot tbe Somme, 11 kilometres west of Peronne. The offensive was the most power- ful drive which has been made by the Germans in this theatre within a year. Its most important .accoxu- plishments were, according to the German official report, taking of 1,859 feet of trenches in the Napoli farm sector, the taking of a group of houses in an assault on the St. Laur- ent district. and, most important of all, the capture of the village of Frise, with 4,000 yards of French tr.,;:.shes to the depth of 1,000 yards to the .south. Th.. nrisoners made comprised 1,287 otilcers and men at the Napoli farm. Several prisoners were added to the list by a, German detachment which penetrated the se- cond line of French trenches south of Llhons, and which then returned to the German. lines. Among the prisoners are some British, The same German statement an- nounces the bringing down of an al- lied aeroplane south of Apremont. TO JOIN BRITISH. Russian Forces Are. Not Far Now From lint -el. -Amara. LONDON, Feb. 1.—A Petrograd despatch says: "The Russian Cau- casian operation Is widening, fanlike, to the westward, south-westward, and southward, with the possibility, ac- cording to semi-official opinion, of a juncture being formed with the Brit- ish Mesopotamia expedition, "The Russian advance is pushing west of Melazghert, where the im- portant town of Khynysskala, 50 miles south of Erzerum, has been raptured. At the same time progress is reported in the direction of Van, and likewise toward Urumiah, where it is officially announced that the Turks have been repulsed with heavy losses. Further south-east, in the region of the %andaianski Pass, south-east of Hamadan, another Rus- sian victory is reported. "Although a broken mountainous. country intervenes. the latter posi- tions are not far removed from the head of the British column in the vi- cinity of Kut -el -Amara. It is pointed out that the Turks evidently fear a junction, this being indicated by the retreat towards Mush of a large part of their army that was recently re- ported, to have been routed, the evi- dent purpose of the move being to. cover Bitlis and I)iarbekar. MORE MEN WANTED. Britain's Call for Twenty Thousand Will Be Filled at Once. OTTAWA, Feb. 1. -=Major-General Sir Sam Hughes announced last nightthat twenty thousand more troops from Canada have been asked for by the War Office and will be de- spatched from the Dominion within the next two or three months. An offer of more troops was made some time ago, following the rapid pro- gress made in the training centres of the Dominion, and the War Office has accepted the offer up to a total of twenty battalions, for which accom- modation is Being provided in Eng- land. The battalions will be selected in the order of merit, those that have shown the most efficiency being the, likely ones for first choice. They will be sent over as soon as the ne- cessary transports have been pro- vided. No Reply. to Note. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—Tension over the Lusitania issue continued to exist last night` in Administration circles in the absence of official eon- firmation of the press reports from Berlin that Germany is preparing to send to the United States a note which will meet the demands of the American Government.

LONDON, Feb. 1.—That the Ger- DMA offensive, though temporarily checked by tbe French, is not ended and that it will be tried on the Brit - tali soon is shown by an official state- ment issued by the War Office last night.

The offensive was the most power- ful drive which has been made by the Germans in this theatre within a year. Its most important .accoxu- plishments were, according to the German official report, taking of 1,859 feet of trenches in the Napoli farm sector, the taking of a group of houses in an assault on the St. Laur- ent district. and, most important of all, the capture of the village of Frise, with 4,000 yards of French tr.,;:.shes to the depth of 1,000 yards to the .south.
