DAY'S PROGRESS OF WAR Interest li: he great European struggle remains centered In the eastern theater, where thre0 big battles are being fought. The activity In Belgium and France has lessened, largely because of bad weather and the Inundation of a considerable area along the Yser In West Flanders. Poland Is the scene of two contests In tho east and the third Is being fought In East Prussia.

The combat In the country between the Vistula and Warta rivers Is attracting the most attention. It is believed the Germans have massed there at least half a millon men, in an endeavor to break the Russian line. The location of the battlefield and other conditions favor a decisive conflict. In this battle the Russians claim to have achieved partial success. The second battle in Poland Is being fought on the Cracow-Czensto-chowa line, and both sides claim they are satisfied with the progress made.

The Russian advance in East Prussia is moving slowly through the region about the Mazurian lakes. In this district the Germans have massed strong forces. The Russians are moving westward in Galicla and claim numerous successes, among which are the capture of Wlsnlcz, Gorlice, Dukla and Ujok. The only serious fighting now taking place on the allies' left In th western battleground appears to be south of Ypres, where a violent artillery duel Is progressing. In the Argonne region the Germans have made vigorous attacks, which, according to the French, have been repulsed.

According to official announcement in Berlin, reports received In the German capital from Holland state that In the recent fighting near Blx-schoote and Dixmude the French lost 20,000 men and that 1,500 Brit-1 leh were drowned In the Yser canal. Little news regarding operations in Trans-Caucasia has reached the outside world. The Turkish war office announces that the fighting Is progressing favorably. The Turkish troops, It is sjild, have been reinforced by Persian tribesmen. It is announced from the headquarters of the Russian, army of the Caucasus that Russian warships on November 19 bombarded the port of Khopa, In Turkish Armenia, on the Black sea.

The bombardment destroyed the port barracks, blew up the ammunition depot and set the place on fire. The Turks were preparing for an offensive movement from Khopaln In the direction of different passes of the Zatcharekh. It Is officially announced in Berlin that, according to information from South Africa, 3,000 Boers have gathered near Bloemfonteln, and that an attack of the town is feared, The garrison there numbers only BOO. An Austrian official communication claims further successes In the Austrian advance Into Servia. Austria's progress Is causing uneasiness In Bulgaria as to what the future of the Balkan states will be.

The question of whether Bulgaria should remain neutral or cast her lot with the allies was discussed In the Sobranje Friday and it was suggested that the allies be asked to define their. Intentions regarding the Balkans. Italy, also affcted by Austria's advance, has called her ambassadors home from the European capitals, to confer with the cabinet. of the condition of the bowels. There Is nothing so Important' In this regard as habit and system.

The growing girl should be especially looked after. Girls and women of all ages will find that by regulating themselves they can avoid the free use of cosmetics and such things, and that obesity Is reduced by bowel elimination and weight increased by proper assimilation. The right laxative for women, as It is for children and old folks, who should not use harsh pills, salts and other stiong cathartics, Is that gentle and mild laxative-tonic, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It acts on the principle that by gently regulating the bowels the digestive mus-oles will soon again be trained to do their 1 work naturally and unaided.

Thousands of families use It regularly, and it has been the standard In good American homes for two generations. Mrs. Ella Robison, of 806 Trombley Ft. Worth, says she will never be without Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.

She uses it herself and gives it to her little girl, and believes she will not need the doctor so often now. Mrs. T. Blue, of 442 College Cape Girardeau, makes Syrup Pepsin her family remedy and says she would not be without it for twice its price. You will find Syrup Pepsin very effective as a remedy for constipation, dyspepsia, biliousness, belching, gas on the' stomach, foul breath, headaches, bloating, etc.
