For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf-
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do we'll to
consider the method employed by the
English to combat this insidious dis
ease. Everyone knows how damp
the English climate is and how
dampness affects those suffering from
catarrh. In England they treat
catarrhal deafness and head noises as
constitutional disease and use an
internal remedy for it that is really
very efficacious-
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
a watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treat
ment to such an extent that the tick
Of watch was plainly audible seven
and eight inches away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone

KILLED "NEuTRAL" PLAN
senator Waggener's Resolution Me,
With Storm Of Protest.

Twenty-eight Kansas senators were
in at the death of the Waggener reso-
luton addressing to congress a de-
mand that the American government
maintain an attitude Of absolute neu-
trality. forbidding the expectation OF
arms, ammunition or foodstuffs to the
various nations Of Europe.
Senator Waggener, observant OF the
fact that such a course would be in
tensely beneficial to the German peo-
pie by cutting off the supplies which
are being purchased heavily by the
allies, put in the resolution early in
the session and nursed 1t carefully
along until he got it on special order
for AIS O'Clock Monday. He received
a number Of letters from German
citizens commencing him for writing
it. The resolution was filled with
heart-thrObs for bleeding Europe. II
was full of mellifiuous praces OF peace
1t was against war. Also, 1t was pro-
German. The pro-German part of it.
however, was not glaringly manifest
on casual inspection.
The resolution had very much the
appearance of a measure for the pur-
pose of putting most of the members
of the Kansas upper house in the
hole so far as the German pOpula-
ton went They had to take a stand
either for American commerce and
against Germany, or against the COM
