Taft, who is ill at alocal hotel, determined this morning to give him the first food he had eaten since the attack of intestinal trouble early Tuesday morning. "Mr. Taft is some better this morning." Dr. B. F. Morgan said. "He has no temperature and although weak, is more cheerful and like himself than at any time since he became ill. The decision to give nourishment to the former president 'was made after he had asked for food. "I don't want to say the danger mark has passed," Dr. Morgan declared, after having visited Mr. Taft for the first time since last night, when he was sleeping easily. "That would not be entirely correct However. I do not tlilnk at any time there has been any immediate danger. I was a little afraid of conditions that might develop. "Mr. Taft passed a very good night and I should say that he is some better. He conversed this morning about things in general, In a way that he did not do yesterday when he talked very little." Bowman Appointed As State Delegate Word was received here Friday by L. S. Bowman, of his appointment by Governor Goodrich; as delegate from Indiana to the Eleventh annual conference of federal, state and local taxation, to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, November 13 to 16. The appointment is honorary, as there is no fund whereby the expenses incident to the trip may be paid by the state. On The Screen MURRETTE Most of the biggest, stars on the motion picture screen have come up from the ranks of the extras. Mary Pickford is a conspicuous example. Many of those of the stage likewise. Elsie Ferguson was a chorus girl. Anyone who has ever been stage-struck should see "It Happened to Adele" at the Murray theatre Saturday, because it is a delightful picture in which a little girl becomes famous almost over night, and it is doubly interesting because the star herself. Gladys Leslie, has risen like a meteor to the height3 of stardomShe Is the living proof of Edwin Thanhouser's theory that the right kind of star material can with intelligent training sometimes be developed from players whose physical attractions and all-around talents entitle them to something better than minor parts. MRS. ORA ADAMS DIES Word has been received here of the death of Mrs. Ora Adams, wife of S. O. Adams Thursday evening at her home in Lynn, Ind. She is survived by her husband and three daughters. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Friends church in Lynn. Burial will be In the cemetery at Winchester. LEMONS. BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this lotion for very little cost and Just see for yourself.

An attractive skin wins admiration. In social life and in business the girl or woman whose face and hands show evidence of constant care enjoys a tremendous advantage over those who do not realize the value of a healthy skin 'and a spotless complexion. At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quarter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautifier, by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons Into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan, and iA the Ideal skin softener, emoothener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotionnd massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It , naturally should help to often, freshen, bleach and bring out theroea and 'beauty of any skin. Adv.

Important Gains Are Made by Allies on Seventeen-Mile Front

(By Associated Fress) While the entente guns are still hammering the German lines in Flanders with a fury apparently equal to that of the original bombardment the Infantry has not been entirely inactive. Today important gains by both the British and the French on a 17-mile frot, taking in West Hoek and Bixschoote, are reported. British troops last night finished the task of driving the Germans from the town of West Hoek and likewise cleared them from the lines they were still clinging to on the ridge near the town. This forward movement gives Field Marshal Halg- a better grip on the section of the line immediately east of Ypres. French Add to Gains. The French on their front near Blxschoote advanced east and north of that place adding to the gains they had recently effected in this sector. Silence from the British side regarded the artillery battle continues. As in the period before the initial attack of the Flanders offensive, the German reports are the principal reliance for news of the bombardment and these continue to emphasize its importance. Entente Active Again. Not only in Belgium but along stretches of the Arras battle front there are evidences of pronounced activities of the entente force. London today reports extensive raids by the British east of Monchy in the Arras No Dentist Handy, But Pliers Are, So George Yanks Molar ECONOMY. Ind., Aug. 10. There wasn't any dentist handy, but his automobile pliers were. So when a big molar which had given him much trouble, began to ache Wednesday, George Thornburg went out to his fliwer, got the pliers, and yanked it out. v George has nerve enough to make a good soldier, his neighbors think. There's Difference Between Discharge and an Exemption There's a difference between a discharge from military service and an exemption from service, members of the selective army board pointed out Friday. Physically disabled men, and if married men are exempted, will.be given discharges. Ministers or members of certain religious sects such as Quakers and Dunkards are exempted. The men discharged probably would be recalled before the men exempted. Both, however,' may be recalled any time the government 6ees fit. British Workers Vote to Have Part In Socialist Rally LONDON, Aug. 10. The conference of the British labor party held at Westminster today voted to sesnd delegates to the Stockholm Socialist conference by 1,046,000 to 55,000.

area, and day by day reports come in of the notable work by the Canadians before the ocal city of Lens. It has seemed several times that the fall of Lens was Imminent, but evidently the hour has not yet been considered for the final stroke. Whether It is even yet a probability of the near future, despite the close grip which the Canadians now have secured upon its immediate outskirts, is something that 'only the British high command can reveal.

Encouragement From America Is Russia's Need, Says Delegates WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 Members of the American mission to Russia leave today for their homes, Elihu Root its head, going to New York. All will return later to aid in the work of Russia's rehabilitation. During their stay here the commissioners presented a written report to President .Wilson on conditions in Russia as gleaned by their three months' trip to that country. In addition, they have reported on their experiences and conclusions to Secretary Lansing. Sending of American troops to the eastern front would not in the opinion of all the commissioners, except Charles Edward' Russell, who suggested the plan, be helpful to Russia. On the contrary, they are convinced that it would prove detrimental. What Russia is most in need of, say the commissioners, is encouragement by the American press and people, particularly as an offset to antiAmerican propaganda being carried on by Germans in Russia. French Strip Gardens of Flowers to Lay on American's Grave PARIS, Aug. 10. The Havas agency correspondent at the American Training Camp, after describing the funeral of a drowned American soldier, says the local peasants stripped their gardens to furnish flowers and many followed the cortege.

The villagers could not have showed more feeling if they had been burying their own.
