GERMANS ANXIOUS
 TO LEAVE CAPETOWN

Boston, December 1S.-Under orders from Washington. Edmund Billings. col- leotor of the port, today began inquiries regarding the possibility of chartering an American steamer to take from Capetown 15o German women and children reported to be anxious to leave South AfiNa Up to tonight, the quest was unsuccessful.
 Accompanying the orders was a copy of the letter from the United States consul general at Capetown to<the department of commerce and labor. The consul said that the women and children were forced to remain in the territory of an enems> against their wishes because of the re- fusal of the British steamship lines to take them as passengers. This refusal it was explained, was due to the feeling that existed among the crews and pas sengers of the vessels.

AFINE TREATMENT
 FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE

NCatarrh is such an insidious disease and has become 80 prevalent during the past few years that it's treatment should be Understood by all
 Science has fully proved that Catarrh is a constitutional disease and. therefore, requires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers. sa1ves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease further down the air pa assages and Into the lungs.
 If you have catarrh or catarrhal deaf ness or head-noises, go to your drug Eist and get one ounce of Parmint 1Double strengthl. Take this home and ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. take one tablespoonfuI4 times Ia day.
 This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head-noises clogged nos trils should open, breathing become easy and mucus stop dropping into the throat
 This treat treatment ne :. has 2, slight tonic tive in cases where the blood has be- l tastes pleasant and costs little. Every iperson who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should give thii { treatment trial.

At the Lyric


 A high class vaudeville bill without a single filler is being shown at the Lyric for the first half of this week. The a doubt the best balanced cleverest, and most entertaining that have appeared at the Lyric for sometime.
 Inasmuch as every act on the bill is clever it is hard to decide which one leads the list. One of the brightest, clean est and classiest is Bernard and Scarth in 'Loan Sum Street. This pair of clever artists kept up rapid-fire flow of wit of the newest sort and had the crowd with them from the time they made their appearance until the curtain went down. Bernard is a comedian of ability and Miss Scarth proved to be a very dainty and clever actress. It is sell
 dom that a better act is booked on any circuit
 Josie Flynn's Minstrel Maids were very good. Their repertoire of songs were among the latest and catchiesr ana each
 member of the company got over in great style. Josie Flynn as an end woman, made up in blackface. had the boys laughing at her antics during the whole sketch. Francis Nordstrom and William Pinkham, in the sketch, "All Wrong" were fine. It is one of the very few SketcneS tnht really nave Ineflt Witu His trionc ability combined. The acting of Miss Nordstrom was of a high class variety as was that of Mir. Pinkham, who had a part which required versatility and hard work.
 Charles Press animal circus was a unique act and was pleasing. The dogs dressed as horses and people, the latter being made apparently to speak through the aid of ventriloquism, practiced by MT. Press was different to say the least. The bill at the Lyric this week is one of the best that has ever played at this popular theatre. Manager Semon's inno- vation in regard to showing parts of the Pathe Weekly between each act met with approval and is an improvement over the old way of presenting all the pictures after the first and last shows.--+

Pay Your
 Grocer Promptly
Pay your grocer cash

Pay your grocer cash wheneVGz you can.
 You little know the terri ble burden he has to carry on account of the carelessness and indifference of his customers. Everything he has in the world is at stake and more failures among grocers are caused blythe neglect or refusal of people to pay him than from any other cause. The grocer is never rich man. He works hard from morning until night and his profits are small. Many day laborer is better off than he at the end of the year.
 Often when he needs money to pay pressing bills and customers owe him money long past due, he IS afraid to ask for it for fear they will get mad.
 Think of it! After he has trusted them, favored them, handed out his goods freely and then needs the money which belongs to him, he's afraid to ask for it.
 Case after case is recorded of grocers who have been forced to %he wall bankrupted, ruined com pletely, with all their hopes blasted because they could not collect money that was due them
 Reader, if you have been one of the careless ones-if you have never thought of these things, give it some attention
 If you have influence, use it for your friend the grocer. N Buy what you will get trusted for anything else you will, but for the love of justice

Shooting Civilians.

According to the laws of war, n
civilian who is found with arms in
his possession is liable to be shot
without mercy. Although this seems
a very evere rule, it Is absolutely nee
essary for the safeguarding Of the
whole civil population.
The rules of war say that no men
will be recognized as combatants un-
less they wear a distinguishing badge,
which can be easily recognized. II It
were not for this, any number of men
could at any time band themselves
together, and say they were belliger-
;ents. II this were allowed, therefore,
;invading troops would safeguard them
selves against surprises by killing
every man in villages through which
they marched.
. This particular rule is so stringent
that ever Il no"ncombatant who took
up arms to defend his wife against
some drunken soldier would be liable
to be shot.
