DYSPEPSIA Most Difficult to Cure BUT B.B.B. DOES IT. Dyspepsia is one of the most diffi- cult diseases of the stomach there | is to cure. i You eat too much; drink too] ,| much; make the stomach work over- | time You make it perform more than it should be called on to do. The natural result is that it is going to rebel against the athount of work put on it... It is only a matter of time before dyspepsia follows. That forty-year-old remedy, Bur-| dock Blood Bitters, will cure the dys- pepsia, and will cure it to stay cured as we can prove by the thousands of testimonials we receive from time to time, As Also Were the Bridge Across the Ancre River and the Enemy's Ma- chine Gun Positions. val Gibbons the British Army on the me, Nov, 16,--The moment has not even yet arrived when it is pos- ible to enumerate the whole of our gains in Monday's great battle, For our gains on the ground are enlarg- ng themselves while I write.

What was lacking in the first ac- counts as they came up in the stress of those hours while our men were vet digging in their new-won lines, and while there were yet caches and pockets of undetected Germans in little isolated trenches about the countryside, behind them was a tale of clean-cut and scientific co-ordin- ation of the means of war which made the victory on this scale pas- sible. The moment of assault when the barrage lifted and pounced for- ward and the eager infantry flowed over the parapets came only at the close of long stages of detailed and scientifice preparation. In that seec- tion of the field which lay south of the Ancre, for example, our victory reveals how complete was our pre- vious observation of enemy disposi- tions of strength and communica- tions.

His trenches were on the tip of the bank and under them he burrowed a vast refuge whose plan resembles \the capital "T." The steam of the "T" is a gallery 300 | yards long, fully eight feet high, and ur feet wide. It is neatly timbered in traversed methodical zigzags in or- der to increase its proportions with- out adding to its length. From the main galleries there were branch minor passages leading to chambers where beds and bunks were fitted and where an enormous deposit of various stores has been discovered. Some of those chanibers aim so close to luxury that the walls were even papered, The labyrinth connected trenches above by 'broad flights of steps. The whole is so deep that it was not only proof to the impact Tank's Great Service. It was in the advance upon St. Pierre division where occurred the most strenuous of the fighting which took place south of the river, Here the tank entered into the battle ahead of the infantry attack, If ever one of these mechanisms falls into the hands of the Germans I sup- pose it will be possible to describe the apparatus, but that seems un- likely . The tank is very thoroughly qual- ified to take care of itself. This one lurched and curtesied into action with the characteristic gait of the beast, that undulating belly crawl which to me always suggests a vast wounded reptile. Upon the lip of a shellhole it halted and remained, and the Germans, taking it for stuck and helpless, swarmed out to meet it with rifles and hand grenades.

RUSSIA SLENCES PEACE CHATTER A Fight to 2 Finish is the Tone of Duma Spocches. GREAT OVATION OCCURRED WHEN THE NAME OF BRITAIN WAS MENTIONED. "Long Live England," a Deputy Cried, and the Whole Russian House Arose and Cheered. Petrograd, Nov, 16.--The Russian Parliament resumed its sitting yes- terday, Throughout the country the opening session was eagerly awaited, as a number of questions have arisen which urgently require discussion, and it was hoped the Duma would be able to throw light on the present complicated political situation. In both Houses strong, interesting speechés were made, and there were dramatic incidents which conditions of telegraphing prevent my describ- ing in full. One thing is clear: The Germans will find no ground for satisfaction in yesterday's speeches. Both Houses were emphatic in declaring the neces- sity of fighting the war to a vietor!- ous finish, The very severe criticism levelled against the Government was to re- move these causes which prevent the nation devoting all its energies to the successful prosecution of the war. One of the principal speakers of the A A nt Had Chronic Indigestion Thought She Would Die Attributes Cure to Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.

I would have an attack of this trou- ble with my stomach every three or four weeks, and was 80 bad at times that my friends thought I would surely die. Thanks to these pills, I have not had an. at- tack for six months, and. . believe My hus- band has had very satisfactory ex- perience with. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. He was much run down and very pale and weak. I persuaded him to use the Nerve Food and after hav- ing taken five boxes-he looks and feels real well." It is such experiences as these that have made a place for Dr. Chase's medicines in the great majority of homes. They do not fail, even in the most complicated cases.

The whole House rose and cheered. In a declaration of the progressive bloe, composed of a majority of the { Duma, a special passage was devoted to the services of England to the common cause. The main theme of the speeches was the necessity of the change of system which would bring the Gov- ernment in closer touch with public opinion. The most moderate criti- cism of the Government was that made by Nationalist Leader Bala- shey, who emphasized the lack of plan and unity on the part of the Government. "The constant change of person- nel," he said, "the publication of ill- considered and inconsistent = megs- ures, insufficient use of local ve ernment organs, and a wholly im- permissible conflict of authority have created a situation very dangerous for further work behind the fight- ing line, and extremely favorable to a display of predatory instincts." i In a very weighty declaration the progressive bloc pointed out that the action of the Government during the last year created serious impedi- ments to a successful prosecution of the struggle, The leader of the Constitutional Democrats, M. Iliukoff, made a re- markable and very powerful speech, which was listened to with the closest attention by the whole Duma. Of .particular interest were those passages in which he criticized the tendencies of Russian diplomacy dur- ing the last three months, His speech is not published in today's report of the Duma sitting. Things were said yesterday that cannot be forgotten or lightly passed over, and the further development of the re- lations between the Government and the Duma is a matter of highest in- terest, not only to Russia, but to all the Allies, LESS LIGHT IN THEATRES Paris Has Shortage of Coal and Electric Power, London, Nov. 17.--Paris is suffer- Ing from lack of coal, electric power and transportation facilities, To meet the coal and power shortages the closing of business shops at six o'clock has been ordered by the au- thorities, while theatres and other amusement places will be required to reduce their lighting, The shortage of ratiroad wagons wil probably be remedied by a more effective management expected from new appointments, Lure of Northern Gold, New York, Nov. 17.--Christian Leden, the Norwegian explorer and ethmdlogist, who has jumped from the s huts of the Eskimos to the Waldorf Astoria--"some contrast," he says--brings back from the great Canadian barren grounds north-west of Hudson Bay native tales of vast gold deposits and petroleum fields in unexplored regions north of the Arc- tie Circle, says the Sun.
