LIFE OF CIRCUS GIRLS ; i ViH ' ' IK info LIFE BEHIND SCENES LIKE What about tho circus girl f Isn't' Bhe an impossible person, of hard face and uncertain morals! These aro some of the questions that will be asked next Saturday by tho j throngs of sightseers who will crowd I the sidewalks durinir tho moraine hour i when tho circus parado is passing, and . . .'I who will visit tiio show grounds of the Barnnm & Bailey Greatest IShcw on Karth during the afternoon or even ing. In the host of nearly 1,100 persons who lire attached to the l'armim &, Hailcy circus this season, nearly 400 of them ar young womon, either ring per formers or ballet girls. Hence it can easily be understood that the women are one of the most important adjuncts of the circus. As a matter of fact the majority of circus girls are the most refreshing, the healthiest and the cleanest minded young women ever assembled together. Many of the so-called 'girls" are mar ried women with young daughters and sons, who are also with the circus. There is little difference between the girls "of the circus and the ordinary, healthy girls who live in comt'urtablc, refined homes, except that tho life ot the circus girl is in the open, where she has a be'.ter opportunity to develop both "physically and mentally. (Continued rTom Page One.) French have scored some of the most important gains of the whole Homme offensive. They have increased the pressure on Peronne and south of the river have drawn so close to the Chaul-nes-Peronue railway that the line of communication is now under hot fire and useless to the Germans. The Germans attempted an attack on Fleury northeast of Verdun last night. French fire held the enemy to their trenches at most places. Forty prisoners were taken. In Lorraine a surprise. at tack by the Germans was stopped. Capture Much Food Stuff. Bucharest, Sept. 6. Rumanian troops have captured the Trnnsylvanian town of Scpri Seep Gyorgi, in the Merisor valley, taking 500 wagons, fqodstuffs and forage, it wag officially announced today. In Monday's fighting small encounters occurred all along the upper Maros val ley in northeastern Transylvania. The Rumanians took (i27 prisoners. The German-Bulgarian nttacks against tho bridgehead of Tutrnkan on "the Danube were repulsed. ( I ho Her mans announced the capture of ad vanced positions at Tutrakau.) After lively fighting the Rumanians occupies tne region ot BorzeeKot ana the heights to the west, taking 154 prisoners. . THE FIRST STEP Usually the first indication of a lowering of health is found in the bowels and liver. Something goes wrong we cat too much, or work too hard and the bowel action weakens or the liver is sluggish. That heavy feeling on arising in the morning, dryness of the throat, with bad taste, a slight headache, dull eyes all show that food has fermented in the intes tines, and that the body is man ufacturing poisons instead of good blood. Clear it all out. Give the stomach and bowels a fresh start. Encourage the liver to go to work. Manalin docs all of this, without griping or weakening. It's the ideal laxative and liver tonic, because it follows Nature's plan, without discomfort, inflam mation or forming a habit. Con stipation may be overcome with its use. Liquid or tablet form. The Tab lets taste like candy. Childrenlike them, and i n e y are safe. 10 and 25 cents. TtwPanouC CokabM. O. HEALTIJY AND MORAL BIG FAMILY IN CAMP Life behind the reil curtain which separates tho dressing rooms from the rest of the circus is not unlike that of a big family in camp. Here the women do their own sewing, their laundry, their reading and writing and the in struc'.ing of their young children. No body molests them, no profanity is al luvveu iu ri-ucu meir ears, uuu liiu tti- uiosphere in which they live is as re fined and respectable as it would be in the best regulated home. Circus . L lL.' .1 il. folks arc home loving, family people at heart and not at all like the mis guided public is prone to consider them. Many entire families ranging from grandparents to year old children trav el with the liarnum & Bailey circus and enjoy all the comforts and privacy of home life. In some of the ring acts three generations of a family aro per forming at the same time. Most of the really great circus performers of today are descendants of a long line of cir cus ancestors, and their success in their chosen field is largely due to the her itage of clean living and clean think ing that has been handed down from generation to generation. On account of the new, Oriental spes- tacular display, "Persin, or the Pa geants of the Thousand and One Nights," tho circus employs more girls this season than ever before in its his tory. Fighting is going on along the whole Uobrudia frontier. A German-Bulgar ian attack was repulsed south of Bazar djik. The enemy bombarded Calafat and lslacz. British Still Advance. London, Kept. 6. British troops cap tured the whole of Leuso wood, a mile northeast of Combles, in heavy fight ing last night, General Haig reported this afternoon.

Took Four Years to Cross Continent San Francisco, Sept. S. John A. De lion, Philadelphia, established a trans 'lontinental transportation kecord to day when he was pushed up to the city, hall in his "donkeymobile," the motive power of which consumes hay instead of gasoline. The record Delion established is the rocord for slowness. The trip across the continent consum ed four years and Delion says he hur- neii, at tuat. The "donkeymobile" is an automobile-appearing vehicle, pushed by a donkey pushed, not pulled. The jaunt was made on a bet. Several accidents marred the long journey. While Delion was crossing the Arizona desert, his motive power kicked him in the head anil rendered him unconscious tor several hours. Want to Know Why Governor Was Removed San Francisco, Sept. 5. Just what circumstances caused Captain William J. Maxwell, governor of Guam, to be removed by a subordinate, Lieutenant Commander William P. Cronan, and sent to the naval hospital at Washing ton, the navy department intends to learn. Captain .William B. Shoemaker is here today awaiting a steamer to take him to Guam where he can make a detniled inquiry. Cronan 's action fol lowed immediately his arrivel in Guam where he was sent as a disciplinary measure on account of prominence in a departmental dissention. His friends say that he found the governor in a state of mental collapse, and took the action to meet the emergency, himself temporarily appointing Captain C. Smith as governor. The fellow who marries for money naturally expects to have it thrown up to him.

In Spite of All This Villa Still Lives Headquarters California National Guard, Nogalcs, Ariz., Sept. 6. Fran cisco Villa was a human arsenal weigh ing nearly a ton, and has survived eight bullet wounds; thirty hangings and several beheadings, if California troopers have not been-made victims of misrepresentation by Mexican curio venders. When pay day came around there was a rush of natives from across the international line with "rare relics" of six. years rebellion in the south Soft nosed bullets, some blood stained, were sold by the dozens under the rep resentation that they had been reniov ed from, the body of Villa. Likewise many troopers parted with 50 cents "Mex" for noosed ropes that nnd hanged the bandit leader. Several sol dicrs bought swords of an ancient pat tern, reputed to have been used at tho beheading of the bandit cmef. Most of the gruesome relics now re pose in the homes of the state soldiers as mementoes of the "Mexican cam paign." Johnson Will Not Stump Oregon for Hughes Sacramento, C'al., Sept. 6.

Patton, the democratic candidate. The governor has not yet replied to the Hughes cam paign committee of Oregon which ex tended him the invitation to stump that state, but he will probably answer that it will be impossible for him to make the tour.

Hughes Takes a Rest Makes No Speeches Today By Perry Arnold (United Press staff correspondent) Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. (1. Today was rest day for Candidate Hughes.
