Bapaume-Cambrai road.
The semi-open character of the
j fighting affords little opportunity for
the use of great howitzers, the mon-
strous engines of destruction being
best adapted for the smashing of
permanent defenses. The battle is be-
ing waged largely with machine guns
and artillery and the meager reporti
i from the fighting line indicates heavy
' losses on both sides, although the
i British claim that their casualties are
1 moderate compared with those of the
| enemy.
The situation behind the German
lines, fraught as it is with far more
• tremendous possibilties than those
presented by any battle remains du-
bious and uncertain. The little news
that trickles across the German
frontier indicates that the authorities
have gained the upper hand over the
strikers by the drastic method of mili-
tarizing the munition industry and
forcing strike leaders into the fight-
ing ranks. It is too early and informa-
tion is too meager to say whether
these stern measures of repression
have definitely crushed the startling
storm of strikes which swept over the
•German eVnpire.
The only news from Austria in some
days is to the effect that the Pan-
German leaders have emerged as vic-
tors in the struggle for control of the
government. This news is vague, how-
ever, and comes by a roundabout
route. Reliable information as to con-
ditions in dual-monarchy is absolute
lacking.

Burnham's Clam Boullion, Delicious,
tritious, Invigorating
Nu-
Burnham's Clam Boullion is the Concentrated Juice or
Extract from the Clam itself,and it not made from the liquor
found in the shell, which is largely composed of sea water,
without any of the niftritive properties of the Clam, and can
have little or no virtue, and is commonly put up in tin cans.
Burnham's is "DIFFERENT" from these spurious articles.
Call for Burnham's, which is put up in half-pint, pint and
quart bottles only, with a blue wrapper and trade mark in
red diamond on the label. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
CLAM BOULLION is invigorating and stimulating for
the dyspeptic, for convalescents, for the aged, for children,
for the busy man and busy woman with exhausted nerves
and tired heads. It is an acknowledged fact that no other
food contains so large a percentage of nerve and brain
stimulant as this.
Burnham's Clam Boullion is unexcelled "for clubs and
hotels, for oyster stews, clam boullion toast, clam broth,
ladies' lunch, soda fountains, and in the house.

The Joy of Living
Wherever a J. C. C. garbed woman
goes there's a glow of the warm sun-
shine of happy health. For she
possesses two things that bring the
joy of living to womankind—perfect
bodily comfort plus flawless style.
The J. C. C. garbed woman thrills with the pleas-
ure of the day to come. She is ready for work or
play with no worry or thoughts of health or ap-
pearance. J. C. C. corsets settle the strife between
fashion and well-being. They give the body the
support it needs and their graceful lines bring a
stylish and unequalled figure to their wearers.
J. C. C. corsets are designed for all women's com-
fort. Once you try a J. C. C.—you, too, will find
the sunshine of health and style.
