CATARRh OF THE THROAT
Il liahle 10 Produee Catarrhal Deafness

tial loss of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows 1t.
For instance. suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear.
II he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of his
watch two feet from the ear he may
not suspect it at ali. His hearing Is
good enough for ordinary purposes.
He goes on without the slightest sus-
picion that he is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing in the ear. or
cracking and swapping sounds in the
ear. or a feeling of pressure in the
ear. but he is not aware that he IL
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
1t is a good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move 1t
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear 1t tick. Try it on
the other side and see II both ears
are alike. If you find that you are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at distance of four feet
from the ear, you may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold. strong
salt water. as directed in the Ellis OF
Life" sent free by Pcruna Co. Co
lumbus, Ohio. Persist In this treat
ment until n cure is effected.
The Best Way to Garsle.
Sometimes catarrh of the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an &C
cumulation of secretions in the throat.
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re-
moved by frequent garg!ing polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some-
times called. will require a long time
with the garglins to remove. Car
Cling according to the proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade-
noids. and no surgical operation Is
required.
In order to understand exactly what
is meant by proper gargling send for
a free copy of the "Ills Of Life"
During the whole course of gargling
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle.
People who object to liquid msdi-
eines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Substitutes for ceIluieid.

The increasing use of celluloid for

lain, etc. is due to the cheapness OF
this mixture OF pyroxlin and cam
phor. 1t has, however. the serious
draw back of being highly inhammable,
and even explodes at high tempera-
lures. +f-tl
Hence substitutes lacking this dan
gerous property have long been
sought. Such one is acetyl-cellulose.
made by the action of acetic acid on
pure cellulose. This, however, is
more. costly and therefore has not
made its way excc.,t where price Is
II secondary consideration.
Very recently. however. substitutes
have been invented which are not
only effective, but cheap. There are
yiscose and formylcellulose, already
known because of their employment
in maging artificial silk.
While they.are not as yet utilizable
for objects which must have great
soiidity like those OF horn and ivory.
1t is safe to predict a great future for
them. since already blocks of viscoid
have been produced which can be
readily cclored, polished and worked.

There is a certain famous violinist
who frequently visits this country. and
who, among his acquaintances, is al
most as noted for his parsimony as for
his genius. Among this musicians

Her opportunity came one rainy day
when she chanced to encounter the

Origin Of the Word Alcohol.

In the second century B. c., the
Egyptians had an eye salve contain
ing antimony suifhide. which, in
Arabic. was called "kol." or with the
article al kol" Originally the word
denoted any remedy for the eyes, and
specifically liquid collyrium, made
from burnt incense and burnt almond
shells. Later any fine powder was
called al kol." and by extension. any
fne or subtle substance, whether in
powder form or not. Since the fine
ness and volatility Of wine were called
its spirit" the latter was also
termed al kol," or alcohol. This sig.
nifcance Of the word has persisted to
the present time, In the expression
"alcoholisatus," used for drugs In very
fine powder.-The Pharmaceutical

ACT ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Old Adaes That "hs Who Hss'tssss
10 Lost" 10 q Whole Bundle
Of Truth.

In a letter to q friend at . great
moral crisis in his life Darwin ex'
pressed an observation which ID con-
firmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself TO
him when he first faced the crisis ne
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration. when he was
sorely tempted to proceed. he told mis-
friend of the struggle he was having
but added. First Impressions are gen
orally right" and he proposed to stand
by his first impression that the course
in view would be dishonorable.
When a moral question involving
difficulties is put up to person Dis
first impression is on the merits OF
the question. without reference to the
difficulties of the course. Later the
difnculties begin to loom up. and eau
ton is apt to get the better OF the
doubter.

BRITAIN EXERCISING CAUTION.
Seeking to Avoid Any Clash With the
United States.

London, Aug. 27.-The Daily
Chronicle to-day warns the English
government Of the danger of England
becoming embroiled with the United
States over questions of contraband
Of war and argues that any estrange-
ment between the two countries
would be the extreme Of bad manage
ment.
'It must be the guiding principle
of the British government" the arti-
Gle says, "to direct its naval policy so
that we may not become embroiled
with any neutral power. In nearly
every war Of the past two centuries
we incurred this danger.
"The only really powerful neutral
nation Of the present time is the Uni
ted States. If there is a wise states
manship, we shall remain in perfect
amity with that power, as with the
Netherlands, which possesses the

Many questions are likely to arise re-
garding the exclusion of absolute or

1T has been the British practice to
regard as liable to capture any con-

that his provision presents a real

COULD STOP EUROPEAN WAR
by Putting Embargo on Exports Of

New York, Aug. 27.-The United

European war by placing an embargo
on food products, it was asserted at

cost Of living since the conflict began.

each said the end Of warfare abroad
must result If America ceased eX-
porting to the belligerent nations.
There is a big demand for flour in
foreign countries, according to these
witnesses, with a heavy demand, too,
in domestic markets. Mr.. Iabrinski
said there is a shortage Of 400, O,000,.
600 bushels in the Russian wheat
crop. He declared the United States
could dispose Of its entire -four out

Turkey at any reasonable price and

If an embargo was placed on Ameri-
can products, Mr. Zabrinski and Mr..
Warner agreed, but normal markets
would be established at home and the
prices here go down.
Mr.. Warner said the Grain Export
ers' Association Of North America
did not attempt to fix pirces.
r. l.. Carl, assistant New York
manager for a Minneapolis milling
company, declared there was no COM
bine to fix prices. He believed there
was a possibility Of wheat going
