DR.. Clarke,. wi.e Dor.

The late DIR. james Freeman Clarke
used to tell this amusing story of his
dog: ga t1
SAT one time my dog was fond of
going to the railway station to see the
people. and always ordered him to so
home, fearing he would be hurt by the
cars. He easily understood that If he
went there it was contrary to my
wishes. So whenever he was near the
station, If he saw me coming. he would
look the other way and pretend not to
know me. If he met me anywhere
else, he always bounded to meet me
with great delight. But at the station
1t was quite different He would pay
no attention to my whistle or my call
He even pretended to be another dog
and would look me right in the face
without apparently recognizing me. He
gave me the cut direct in the most i'm
pertinent manner. the reason evidently
being that he knew he was doing what
was wrong and did not like to- be found
out Possibly he may have relied u
little on my nearsightedness' in his
maneuver "-Outlook

Parole. it MIST Er Understood is IL
purely voluntary compact The captor
is not Obliged to offer to parole his
prisoner. and the prisoner is not oblig-
ed and cannot be compelled to give his
parole.
If he does SO. he will probably be re-
leased on pledging his word not to
serve during the existing war If he
refuses. he will remain captive until
the war is over or until he can make
his escape.
The usual parole pledge extends only
to active service against the enemy.
A prisoner released on parole is not
breaking his contract If he drills, re-
cruits, quells civil connections or fights
other enemies.
soldier taken prisoner has no au-
thority to pledge himself never to serve
against particular enemy He can.
not throw off thus lightly the duty he
owes his sovereign or country. and If
he makes any pledge it must be con.
fined to limited time.
Moreover If prisoner should make
pledge not approved by his own gov,
eminent he is bound to return and sur
render himself to the enemy.
In the British army a soldier can
only give his parole through com
missioned officer. Even noncommis-
stoned officer or an officer of inferior
rank cannot give parole either for him
self or for his men without permission
from his commanding officer.
The United States authorities, by the
way. give greater liberty Of parole than
is the case with the British army.
A captured prisoner who has violated
his parole may be punished with death

the terrible curse of Catarrh. This dis
ease is infiammatory in its nature and is
very liable to affect the membranes and
tissues of any vital organ or part of the
system and produce results which cause
lifetime of suffering and regret.
Men of science and students OF medi-
cine have tried in vain for years to find
positive cure, but it has remained for
one living in our own generation to tin-
ally discover what he claims 10 be a GER
tain remedy for Catarrh of any organ of
the body. His claims are vouched for
by the words of hundreds of people whose
honesty cannot be doubted; people who
have suffered for years and tried every
other known re m edy without avail;
people who had not faith at first but
were finally cured and convinced of the
wonderful power of this new discovery
in medical science.
The famous physician to whom the
credit belongs for this wonderful devel-
opment and addition to twentieth-cent-
ury science is DR.. j. A. TOMAS,
Fredericksen Bldg, South Bend, Ind.
He will send anyone who is suffering from
Catarrh free treatment TO prove the
merits and wonderful curative properties
of this new discovery Readers are re-
quested to describe their case when writ
ing to the doctor for the Free Treatment,
II you have any other disease, pain.o

about It and he will send free treatment
