There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all 9th
er diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a To-
cal disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven Catarrh to be constitution
al disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only Constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood

LILIES LAST GIFT
TO HUMANITY
DR.. cALMETTE SAYS ANIMALS
ACTIVE AGENT IN DisTRlBU-
TIoN OF TUBERCULOSIS.

London, Oct. 27.-The important
fact that domestic animals are disease
spreaders has been given to the world
after an exhaustive study by DR.. A.
Calmette. director of the Pasteur Insti-
1ute at Lille. Just before the war
broke out, Calmette hastened his ef.
forts to give his work to the outside
world. The recent abandonment OF
the town of Lille to the Germans
closes the famous institute conducted
here, and DR. Calmette is giving his
services to the French relief
The dangers due to cats and dogs is
the warning DR. Calmette sees as a
result of his many experiments for
tuberculosis causes OF the dogs he
examined, those of cafes. cabarets and
restaurants are often infected, four OF
five per cent being afflicted OF the
many cats in cities he has visited, one
per cent are afflicted with the bovine
variety of tuberculosis, probably on
account of their diet of milk
DR. Calmette's experiments with ami
mails shows that sheep, goats, horses
and donkeys are practically immune
while pigs, especially those fed on
milk, show important traces
The bacillus of consumption finds
its field in domestic life and the so
cial circle. and DR. Calmette empha
sizes that the domestic animals are an
active agent in it's distribution

originated in the mill of the II. Weston
Lumber Company towards the residen-

Tells hAMAcE OF
USING ADVERTISING"
JOHN LEE MAtiiN ADDRESSES
"Aor MEN At BANouEr IN
IOWA CITY

Iowa City, Ia, Oct 27.-John Lee
Martin of Chicago was the principal
speaker at the banquet of the Upper
Iowa Editorial association and the As
sociated Advertising Clubs of Iowa at
Iowa City Thursday night.
Mr.. Mahin's subject was "The Pre-.
vention of Waste" He said advertis.
ing was being used by manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers to intrench
their business against competition by
giving the greatest possible service to
the largest number of customers at
the least cost.
Because of advertising the consum-
er is better served because he gets the
benefit of the superior quality that the
advertiser invariably furnishes" Mr.
Mahin said.
Advertising fixes responsibility up
on the advertiser and saves time and
labor for the salesman, because he
finds his customers with their deci
sions largely made up.
"The publisher does not keep all O
the profits which advertising brings te
him. He gives large part of then
back to his subscribers in a better
and broader news and editorial servic,
and also in much lower subscription
price than would be possible if no ad
lvertising appeared in his columns"

JA1don. Oct. 27.-The battle for the
road to Calais is still undecided. The
territory west OF the river User con-
tinues to be the scene Of the deadliest
of all the conflicts that are now being
waged.
The crossing Of this waterway cost
the Germans more men than has any
other single engagement of the war,
when compared with the area disputed.
Although it is said that the flow Of
German reinforcements apparently is
without end, it seems, judging from
the news available here that they
have failed to make noteworthy prog
ress since crossing the User.
The left wing of the allies has also
been reinforced. This may be due to
their efforts to Offset the constant
movement of fresh German troops
and in part to make good the decreas-
ed activity of British warships. The
lGermans claim that the effectiveness
of the allies; naval fire has been ma
terially lessoned by the German artil-
llery.
No German ships except some sub
marines have been reported in the
vicinity of the channel, but the London
papers are devoting more and more
space to such a contingency. Ger
many has a number Of small cruisers
at Wilhemshafen, together with sew
eral destroyers. and the appearance
of these ships, probably with a battle
cruiser, will be no surprise. ~
