reach req their destination. It was said after the civil war that $l toward the end of the campaign did the work of $5 at the beginning because of the lack of proper organization. The routine of demand for service of the kind that could be ren- dered by such a society as the Berkeley branch would be, first, request from the surgeon-general to the Government for supplies or service, and then, in case of a temporary governmental shortage de- mand would be made, most possibly through Miss Barton, for the help of such volunteer associations as the auxiliary Red Cross Societies. The colonel advised the formation of committees for the un- dertaking of specified lines of work as, hrst, aid to the wounded, the making of surgical dressings, the making of filters. etc, and keeping the records of sick wounded and dead, which latter, if 1t had been been effectively. looked after during the civil war would have saved an immense amount of trouble in after years Then a committee of finance is necessary, for often the appropriation for some specified need of the army will fall short during war, and then is the time when effectual help can be rendered by these patriotic assoclauons. The speaker was sure that the Berkeley physicians would be only too glad to place themselves at the ser wee or the members of the society, in the

 Another noticeable figure in the crowd was that of Henry Lichtenstein of Alcatraz Parlor No. 145, who enjoys the reputation of being the Adonis of the local delegation. There were also many others whose faces have been seen at every gathering of Grand Par Tor delegates during the past half dozen years, and who are known to al- most every member of the order in the State. It was as jolly a crowd as one would wish to see and they may be ex- pected to give good account of them selves during the five days session of the Grand Parior. Ample provision had been made for their creature com fort during the trip by rail- circum- stance that did not add to the gayety of the envious but admiring friends who gathered at the ferry to bid them farewell and good luck.

BY constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition OF the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling

unless the Inflammation can be taken out

The author of this work has set himself
the task of making truly serious set OF cir
cumstances, exceedingly funny. he has
unquestionably succeeded, as he expresses
it. He wrote the book for the purpose OF
getting even with the myths and heroes Of
antiquity who caused him such anguish in
school days. The Comic History OF Greece
is witty and humorous, without being vul-
gar. About $50 illustrations illuminate the
lines from the pencils OF half dozen artists.
The book is truly tickle tonic for the mel

The question: "Is consumption curn-

1t is easy to say that this was not case OF
consumption. Yet the physicians said II
was. They should know. As matter
Of fact, DR.. Ayers Cherry Pectorai has
wrought so many similar cures that il
seems TO argue the curableness of con-
sumption in its earlier stages, by the use
OF this remedy. There is no better medi-
cine for pulmonary troubles than DR..
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. II gives relief in
cases of A sthina, and Bronc hits. where re-
lief has been heretofore unsttainabie. 1t
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, la
Grippe. and all affections OF the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, DIR. Ayers Cherry
Pectorai has been put up in full size
bottles only, AT froo per bottle. To meet
a wof ld-wide demand for a smaller pack
age, the remedy is now put up in half sire
bottles, At half price-so cents. Write for
