Foch's Men Capture Ger- man Line on a Mile Front. rhe British Have Succeeded in Clear- ing Two Miles of Remy Com- munication Trenches Especially at the Schwaben Redoubt -.-Ram. let of Genermont is Taken by French Forces Who :Have Also Captured 1,100 Prisoners.. LONDON, Oct. 17.—The French won fresh successes south of the Somme on Saturday. East of Bel- loy-en-SSanterre Foch's troops cap- tured a first German line on a front of more than a mile. To the south- west of this region they swept for- ward from Bovent for nearly a mile and seized the hamlet of Genermont, wbile they also extended their lines near Ablaincourt, winning a strong- lyedefended sugar refinery. Over 1,100 Germans were made prisoner in these operations. German troops Saturday night launched several counter-attacks against the positions which. the French had occupied during the day south of the River Somme, says the statement issued by the French War Department,. Enterprises undertaken Saturday by British troops In the neighborhood of the Stuff and Schwaben redoubts, in the River Somme region, were highly successful, says the official statement issued Sunday by the Brit Yah War Office. More than 300 Ger- mans were taken prisoner. North of Stilt( redoubt two lines of enemy communication trenches were elear- ed for a distance of nearly 200 yards. One ()Meer and 100 men of other ram's were taken prisoners in the coarse of this operation, which was earried out by a single company, At the Schwaben redoubt the British gain was greater and the line was advanced well to the north and west o: the redoubt. Heavy Tosses were inflicted on the enemy. Despite the cloudy weather and active barrage tire at a range of from 20'. to 300 metres, the Allied avia- tors co-operated in a most effective fashion in the fighting Saturday south of the Somme. They sur- passed all that was expected of them. One machine that returned had been struck by two hundred bul- lets. North of the Somme two pilots. flying very low, used their machine guns at short range against the enemy in his trenches. In Ablaincourt, at the tip of the salient held by Foch's troops north of Chaulnes, a furious assault on Friday enabled the Germans to seize several positions and some trenches to the north-east of the village. These they did not bold for long. Showing a surprising ability to rally quickly from the effects of the enemy's charge, the French wave recoiled and swept the Germans completely out of the positions they had gained a foothold in. The French again attempted to sluing their lines through Sailley- Sailiisel and into the sector south of Transloy, but in hand-to-hand fight- ing of the most desperate character they were driven back to their start- ing points. By their furious resist- ance in this region the Germans have given notice that they intend to defend the Bethune road to the limit of their resources. Berlin admits that the British north of Thiepval gained a firm hold on the German trenches, and that the French south of the Somme have won a footing in the sugar re- finery at Genermont. TWO YEARS IN WAR. Second Anniversary of Arrival of 1st Canadian Force is Celebrated LONDON, Oct. 17.—The second anniversary of the arrival in Eng- land of the first Canadian overseas contingent was celebrated on Satur- day evening by a dinner at which over 500 officers, non-com.'s, and men of the Canadian pay and record services were present, Colonel W. R. Ward presiding. In toasting the army and navy, Colonel Ward paid a warm tribute to the navy, by whose protection the safe arrival of the Canadian forces throughout the war had been possible. Referring to the development of the pay and record services, which from two officers and six men has grown to over 2,500, Colonel Ward suggested that the time had perhaps come when a combing -out process might begin. He :would° like to see all the eligibles volunteer for active service. - The Canadian correspondent was in- formed that about 60 per cent. of the staff are entitled to the gold stripe, which signifies that the wear- er has been wounded. Mr. McLaren Brown, the chief civilian guest, spoke of Canada's men as being essentially fighting men. Colonel Ross and Colonel S. Robertson also spoke, the former emphasizing the fact that the gathering was not of a festive, but of a commemorative character, and that the well being of the com- batants depended upon the con- scientious work of those present.

THIS IS A DISEASE of the lungs caused by a germ known as :he bacillus tuberculosis. This germ causes, in addition to tither- culoeis of the lungs or consumption, many forms of tubercu''ius disease, such as tuberculous meningitis, hip -joint disease, white swelling of the knee, tuberculous peritonitis, etc. In fact there is no part of the body which may not become subject to this aft 'etion. The disease is contracted by inhaling the droplets of infection coughed out by the person ill of tuberculosis of the lungs or from the inhalation of dried sputum, and generally from close contact with careless victims of the dis- ease who spit about any place. Children frequently contract the disease by drinking milk from tuberculous cows, and in children the CAUSE OF disease so acquired may not show active symptoms till CONSUMPTION between 12 and 20 years of age. One of the earliest and most constant symptoms of Consumption is cough. In the growth of tuberculosis of the lungs, as well as elsewhere, little nudulas or tubercles are formed. The pressure of these and the irritation caused by the secretion from the bacilli of tuberculosis upon the nerves of the lung is the reason of the cough. One coughs to try and get rid of some irritating particle. At first the cough is dry and hacking without any sputu.ii be- cause at first there is none to bring up. So don't make the mistaks of dis- regarding a cough of this kind because no matter is coughed up. After a while when the tubercles have caused a little bronchitis a small amount of muerte will be coughed up. At this time a microscopical examination of this may or may not show the bacilli causing the disaass. Under the miscroscope these look like tiny little rods. Later there is a free secretion and the eough seems less annoying because a mou.eaiul of secretion is brought up each time. As the sputum increases in quantity it is at first white, then yellow, then grayish or greenish in color. As the disease progresses and cavities are formed the amount coughed up in a day may exceed one pint. G.nerally the patient coughs more when he gets up in the morning, and continues coughing till the lungs are cleared out. Others cough more when tla y lie down. All consumptive patients, unless they have learned better, cough too much. If one visits the sanitoria at Gravenhurst, London, Ottawa, or elsewhere one hears very little coughing, There are two rea- sons for this. One is that the patients live in the open air and the other is that they are taught to avoid coughing. The dry, hacking cough does harm to the sick lung, tires the muscles, and uses up the patient's vitality without doing any good. Where there is free secretion it is useful to cough it out, but this is easily accomplished. BY JOHN W. S. McCULLOUGH, M,D., D.P.H., CHIEF OFFI( :• ; * Medical Officer of .Health. A.C.C., Orillia. Q.—Why cannot a municipal council dismiss its M.O.H., if the majority of the Council so decide? A.—Previous to the enactment of Section 37 of the Public Health Ace, which provides that a medical officer of health may not be removed 2ro i office except for cause and with the consent of the Provincial Board, it become the custom in many municipalities to pass this office around ammo; the local physicians year after year. Under this system there was no prospect of ever securing an efficient medical officer, and physicians appointed to this office bothered themselves very little about it, and in fact in most cases knew little about the duties of such an officer. By making the M. 0. H. a permanent official, independent of local influence and •politics, it was hoped to inspire in the appointee some interest in Public Health matters, which certainty of tenure in office was likely to do. For instance, the clerk or the treasurer of a municipality usually holds office indefinitely. Municipal councils have found out that this system has in- creased the efficiency of such officials; in fact, with the frequent change in the personnel of councils, the new members would be at sea without a clerk or treasurer who knew the routine of municipal affairs The same is true in respect to sanitary matters, the most important of all municipal questions. By an amendment (1916) the M. 0. H. may, if he neglects his duties, be dismissed by the Provincial Board or by the Council on the recommend ;- ;tion of the Board. The idea of the Legislature was the promotion of t' • tient service to the municipality. Already its good effects are becoming apparent.
