8 S A,M'!. U, S. CITY IN FRANCE| To Live Long! 20, 107, \ Americans Build Town Al for Themselves, it Wil Be the Main Base for Our Army and Will Cost Millions of Dollars. . Washington.—An American city 18 rearing itself on French sofl. It will be populated entirely by Americans— & city of men. Everything ahout it will be American. It will be a little bit of New. York or Kankakee or Whoozis transported across the Atlan- ... tic and set up on an alien, though an allied soil. It will be the main base of the Amer- fcan army and will cost millions. There will be housed the great depots, the central hospitals, the entire heart of the American,organization, Reports to the war department in- dicate that plans are well under way. This great city will be well removed w from the front, in a locality already ' selected. It is all mapped out what is to be done. The location is a mili- {ary secret, so are the plans. All that may be told is what will be there. German prisoners now In Krance " probably will be employed in the la- bor of building. American architects and engineers will direct the work. The place will be as typically Amer- fcan as if it were in Illinols or New Hampshire. Out of it will run an American ral'way — American built, equipped and manned, direct to the American- section of the front. It is understood that it wili be located in regard to harbor facilitles so that American ships can come 'in to the docks, there to be unloaded by Ameri- can’ stevedore gangs, recruited from the wharves of United States seaports for that especial purpose. These men will wear the American uniform and will be enlisted for the duration of the war, It might be a combined seaport-rail- road-town-mining-camp-post - frontier- settlement, from all reports that are spread here. It’s company street probably will be “Main street” or “Broadway” and ev- erything about it will be U. 8. A., even if it is “over there.” RISK LIVES AT FRONT When the shortage of men became acute in England thousands of Brit- ish women volunteered to drive ambu- lances on the western front to permit- the men in the service to join the fighting forces. - They have risked thelr lives daily in . this dangerous work of succoring the wounded within the range of the German guns. Many have been killed by bursting shells, snd many more have been decorated for bravery under fire, They have very often gone to the extreme front battle lines to remove badly wounded Tommies. American women are now nobly offering themselves for this hu- mane but very dangerous work. Fol- lowing the example of their British sisters, several are already driving am- bulances on various battle fronts. TEUTONS CLAIM “CITY DAZER” All Germany Talking of New and Ter- rible Explosive Discovered by Chemist. . The Hague—Travelers reaching Holland from the interior of Germany declare that the entire country is talk- ing of a new, terrible explosive discov- ered by a professor of chemistry. According to tales traveling from mouth to mouth, very small quantities of the explosive will inflict incredible damage. It is said that a bomb weigh- ing 20 pounds will destroy everything within a radius of a mile, while ten airplanes armed with bombs of the ex- plosive could daze a large city in a few minutes. Some arrivals assert the story is officially inspired and exaggerated to bearten the people. A recipe given by a famous physician for lung%_?e was: xKeep the k!’dnyll i od order! -Try to eliminate thru the cin and intestines the poisons that other- wise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating meat :l,s nlxl\lch ::‘- pos'in‘;yble; avoid modmu nllt‘ cohol a milk and vegetabl diet. lil)rmk plenty of water, and exercise 80 you sweat—the skin helps to eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid.” eaglor those past m'\dflg Iil:{ for those ly recognized ms of inflamma- tion, as backmhe%ng ‘“water,” or if uric acid in the blood has rheu- matism, “rusty” joints, stifiness, get Anuric at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was liscovered by Dr. Pierce of Invalids® Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will find that it is thirty-seven times more potent than lithia and that it dissolves uric acid as-hot water does sugar.
