Why Dread Old Age?
ît doesn't matter how old you are. if
you keep well and active. Lots of folk*
are younger at 70 than others are at 60.
Lame, bent backs; stiff, achy, rheu
matic joints; bad eyesight and deafness
are too often due to neglected kidney
trouble and not to advancing years.
Don't let weak kidneys age you. Use
Doan'» Kidney Pill». They have
made life more comfortable for thou
sands of elderly folks.

Every mother realizes, after giving

and it thoroughly cleanses the tender

When cross, Irritable, feverish, or

the tongue, Mother! If coated, give
a tenspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When the little system Is full of

a good "inside cleansing" should al

Millions of mothers keep "California

bottle of "California Syrup of Figs,"

ESTABLISH TRAINING CORPS
Session Opening at Southern Univer

ful Year in the History of
the Institute.
Baton Rouge.—
With 420 students presenting them
selves for enrollment by noon last
Wednesday, and a long line waiting
to be admitted at the door of the
alumni building, the Louisiana State
University promises to have a large
attendance this session.
The enlistment of the student
army training corps at the university
probably will bring the attendance
up to one thousand or more, it Is
thought. It Is evident the enrollment
of young women this session will be
materially in excess of that of any
previous year, even though the num
ber of women attending the univer
sity has increoeed from year to year.
Southern University already has en
rolled 442 negro men and women for
its various courses during the session
now beginning, and has turned away
150 more because of lack of room for
them, announces President J. S. Clark.
The session opening at Southern
University bids fair to be the most
successful in the history of the insti
tution.

By English Cavalry.
London.—General Allenby's forced
in Palestine have taken 18,000 TurK
ish prisoners and have captured 120
guns besides four airplanes and «
large quantity of uncounted transport.
This means the virtual annihilation
of the Ottoman forces in this region.
The British losses were surprisingly
slight considering the importance of
the advance.
British cavalry units operating >)• -
tween the Jordan and the Mediter
ranean in Palestine, have advanced
some 60 miles from their original po
sition and have occupied the Biblical
renowned town of Nazareth and Af
ule and Beizan, according to a British
War Office announcement.
The statement reads;
"Palestine—By 8 p. m., on Septem
ber 20, the enemy resistance had col
lapsed everywhere, save on the Tutk
ish left in the Jordan valley.
'Our left wing, having swung
around to the east, had reached the.
line of Bidleh, Baka and Messudieh
Junction, and was astride the rail and
roads converging at Nabulus.
"Our right wing, advancing through
difficult country against considerate
resistance had reaohed the line of
Khan Jibiet, 14 miles northeost of FI
Mughier and Es Sawieh and was fac
ing north, astride the Jerusalem-NoG>
ulus road.
"On the north, our cavalry, travers
ing the field of Armageddon, had oc
cupied Nazareth, A fuie and Beisan,
and were collecting the disorganized
masses of enemy troops and trans
ports as they arrived from the soutn.
All avenues of escape open to tbs
enemy, except the fords across tue
Jordan between Bisan and Jisr-Ed-Da
meer, were thus closed.
'East of the Jordan, Arab forces
of the king of the Hedjas had effected
numerous demolitions on the rail*,
ways radiating from Deraa, severs
important bridges, including one In
the Yurmak valley, having been fle
stroyed.
'By 9 o'clock on Saturday, on om
left wing, the Infantry about Bfralul
had reached the line Beitdejan-Sa
