CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrhal Deaf
ness and Head Noises.

II you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head
noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for a
long time past have recognized that
catarrh is a constitutional disease and
necessarily requires constitutional
treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness, or else the dis
ease is driven down the air passages
towards the lungs which is equally
as dangerous. The following formula
which is used extensively in the damp
English climate is a constitutional
treatment and should prove especially
efficacious to sufferers here who live
under more favorable climate condi-
lions.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce
of Parmint Double strength). Take
this home and add to it n pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated su-
gar: stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times q day. This
will often bring quick relief from dis
tressing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open, breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the inflamma-
tion in the eustachian tubes is reduced.
Parmint is used in this way as 1t acts
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system and has a slight
tonic action that facilitates the recov.
cry of the patient. The preparation
is easy to make. costs little and is
pleasant to take. Every person who
has catarrh should give this treatment

A few weeks ago Supt. Klein

THE street is not an improved one
and l have been instructed not to
make main extensions on unimproved
streets unless they are down to grade,
which South Ninth, below H street, is
not" replied Johnson.
Under your franchise you are re-
quired to make an extension when SO
ordered by the board, if there is to be
one consumer for each 100 feet of the
extension remarked the city attor-

make this extension we will have to

THAT involves a question raised in
your suit to restrain us from putting
up poles for business outside the city

are not, having surrendered our fran.

Seven unidentified bodies also were landed at Baltimore, AT miles southwest of Cork, but the weather conditions are such that it is not considered probable many more will be found in that vicinity and all hope of finding further survivors now has been abandoned.

 The Cunard Steamship company has sent tug to the scene of the disaster with instructions to run into the nearest cove and inform Cunard officials here if even single body is found. There are indications that a heavy death roll among the Ameri- can men in the first cabin was due to a scarcity of life belts. many of them having given the preservers they had obtadntd to helpless women. There is a preponderous of testimony that no American man got into a boat un- til after he had been thrown into

The market received a bad shock from news of the sinking of the Lusi- tania. Prices broke heavily in the war group, and for a time 8 panic seemed imminent There was a rush to sell long stocks, especially in shares which led the recent rise. In the better class of securities. however, the fall was less serious, and more or less support was afforded. The close was better than might have been ex- pected. Confidence has naturally been badly shaken by this disaster, the out come of which upon public opinion it is yet too early to forecast. Much de- bends upon the self-control. which the American people display. Thus far under the strong lead of President Wilson the country has taken things calmly and kept it's head. It is to be hoped that this spirit will continue, and that our people will not undu1y etmbarrass the Administration by their resentment spirit.
