ON THEIR
WAY TO THE WAR
Are Passing through Here Al
the Rate of a TrainIoad
or Two Each Day.

: During the last few days, large
shipments Of horses have been going
through here. over the Baltimore and
Ohio, consigned TO Baltimore, New
York and other eastern ports, for
shipment to Europe. These horses
are intended for the contending
armies in the great war. and are be-
ing purchased by the hundreds in the
West.
The latest horse-train to go
through was a spekiai Of Ave cars,
Sunday. These specials are made up
from four to seven cars. The cars
are of special design for the trans
portatio nof horses.
This is the second period OF ac-
tivity In the line OF horse buying in
this country for European battle
fields. The first occurred moi greas
while after the war broke out. Al
that time there was the same rush
OF trains, laden with @horsefesh, from
the West to the Atlantic seaboard.
The horses shipped in this first per-
iod presumably became food for DOW
der, or were turned out to die, broken
down and rendered forever useless by
the heatr -breaising strain OF the work
imposed upon the army horse. To
keep up the supply. most OF the coun-
tries now at war, keep agents con-
stantly in this country, buying up
fresh carloads OF equines. The re-
suits Of their activities are now rush
ing through Clarkshurg, q trainload
or two every day. Authorities who
have studied the matter, say that this
drain on american horses and mules.
viii undoubtedly have a bad effect on
American industry in the future.

watch tick tell bow they had their
hearing restored by this English
treatment to such an extent that The

Therefore. II you know someone
who Is troubled with catarrh, ca
tarrhal deafness or head noises, cut
out this formula and hand 1t to them
and you will have been the means OF
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. The prescrip-
