with the miserable conditions of the
Russian investing troops, and re-
produced personal letters from Rus
sian soldiers obetained through the
capture of a Russian mail train. Ac-
cording to these accounts, driven to
desperation by lack of food and cloth
ing and by the intense cold, many
Russian soldiers were contemplating
suicide. Further encouragement was
derived from the letter of an Austrian
deserter who wrote that the general
opinion was that Przemysl had been
erected by the devil and could only
be taken by the devil"
A continual literary diet Of this
sort persuaded the Austrian soldiers
that all was going we'll for the Aus
trian forces in general and that
Przemysl itself never could be captur
ed. In one of the last issues before
the surrender there was an account Of
a charity lottery and concert conduct
ed for the relief of the civilian popu
lation of Przemysl. One hundred
thousand tickets were distributed and
1858 prizes were awarded which had
been contributed by members of the
garrison.

GARRISON PRZEMYSL
ISSUED NEWSPAPER
DURING THE SIEGE
(By Associated Press.)

PETROGRAD, April 30.-Among
the relics of Przemysl, there has been
discovered a complete file of the
Kriegs Nachtrichtung, local paper
issued daily during the entire time of
the siege under the supervision of the
Austrian commandant, General Kus-
manik. Up to November IA, the date
when the Russian investment was re-
sumed-this Przemysl paper received
it's dispatches from Vienna by tele-
graph; after that it had to rely upon
brief wireless messages bolstered up
by military comment of the Austrian
authorities.
This paper shows how the spirits of
the men were buoyed up by deceit anl
false hopes to the very day of the
surrender. There is not in single
issue CT the paper any mention made
of the failing condition of the garrison
or shortage of provisions, nor any in
i ference that surrender was imminent
or even possible. The Austrian sol
dier was apparently serenely perusing
optimistic reports of German and
Austrian successes on the very day
the white flag suddenly was hoisted
over staff headquarters.
Early issues of the Kriegs Mach
trichtung reproduced kilograms from
Cracow which tell of the final col
lapse of the Russian advance in Cali
cia." An issue of later date COM
mented on the loss of three English
cruisers, stating sit is not Improbable
now that the whole English fleet will
soon be sunk in the open sea-" A pa
per of October 8, stated that Russia
had withdrawn her offer of autonomy
to Poland and conveyed the remark
able intelligence that the Russian war
minister had resigned and was to be
replaced by General Linevitch, who
had died some time before. Papers of
the same month announced that Prz-
emysl was once for all free and re-
ported that the Russians feared revo-
luton in Warsaw and Lorz.
From the 14th of November, de-
pendingly solely upon wireless news,
the dispatches became more meagre,
hut still more optimistic. The Decem-
Der papers were principally occupied

WAN IS GOOD BOOZE
(By Associated Tress)

CAIRO, April 3O.-Martial law has
made it a dangerous matter for the
peddlers of adulterated liquor to at
tempt business near the British en-
campments to Egypt. BY proclama-
tion, Lieut.. General Sir J. Maxwell
has empowered special officers to enter
and inspect any establishments sus-
pected of selling bad liquor within a
radius of five miles of any place
where British troops are stationed.
Any person found selling adulterated
or inferior alcoholic drinks is liable
to Imprisonment, fine and loss of Ii
cense.
Egypt is in normal times filled with
imitation liquors, wines and beers Of
such poisonous nature that the drink
ers go insane. Both the health and
discipline of the troops was affected
by this menace, now removed, in the
early days of the war.

sage TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed With Sulphur 1t Brings
Back Its LuStre and Abundance.

Gray hair, however handsome, do
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of youthful appearance.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades,
turns gray and looks dry, wispy and
scraggy, just a few applications of
Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Eth
er prepare the tonic at home or get
from any drug store a 50-cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" Thousands of folks recon-
mend this ready-to-use preparation,
because it darkens the hair beautifully
and removes dandruff, stops scalp
itching and falling hair; besides, no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens so
naturally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; after another app,i-
cation or two, its natural color is re-
stored and it becomes thick, glossy
and lustrous, and you appear years
younger. Hooks Pharmacy. adrt

The Board OF County Commission
ers at a recent meeting deposed Agri

| refused TO make the necessary appro.
| priation to maintain an agricultural
agent in this county, and the recent
outbreak of hog cholera near this city
necessitated sending for the~L Love
county agent to come here and inoc-
ulate hogs to prevent the spreading
OF the plague. Former Agent Scott
assisted A. G.. Graham OF Love county
in this work, and has offered his ser
vices to the farmers OF Carter county
free Of all cost whatever, in the fol-
lowing letter:
Monday evening A G. Graham, Love
countys agent, assisted by myself,
yaccinated 80 head, about 10 of which
were badly infected with cholera.
would warn every farmer in this
county to be careful of his hogs.
Clean up and disinfect your pens
and allow no one to visit your pens
who has come from an infected pen,
without first disinfecting his feet. As
far as possible, prevent dogs, pigeons,
crows or buzzards from entering your
pens, as they are all means of spread
ing infection. Vaccination is the
only remedy for this disease, and
that is more of a preventive than it is
a cure.
The cost Of the serum for vaccina-
ton will be from twenty cents for
pigs, to as high as $15O for very
large hogs.
Don't wait until your hogs are all
sick before you vaccinate, but as soon
as cholera is very close to you, you
had better take action.
] have a permit from the state board
OF agriculture to yaccinate hogs, and
inasmuch as we have no county agent
now, will offer my services without
charge, to go to any place in the
county and vaccinate as many hogs
as may need it,
| will also go to any place in the
county where the farmers want me,
and give demonstration in vaccina
ton, and teach the farmers how to-
do this work themselves.

Catarrh Causes Many Diseases.
Many diseases are caused by taking
cold. A cold is very likely to settle
in the nose, causing nasal catarrh.
1t may settle in the upper part of the
throat, called the nasal Dharyngeal
space. In this space are two little
tubes called eustachian tubes, that
lead 10 the middle ear.
II the catarrh settles i'm the pharyn-
geal space it may follow the mucous
membrane through the eustachian
tubes into the middle ear If it does
1t will cause noises in the ear, and
later on be sure to cause deafness.
. Catarrh OF the throat may follow
the eustachian tubes up into the mid
die ear without causing much concern
on the part Of the patient. The par

CATARRH OF THE THROAT
Is Liable to Produce Catarrhal Deafness

tial loss of hearing is apt to be over
looked. A person may lose half his
hearing before he knows it.
For instance, suppose a man can
hear his watch four feet from the ear
| If he loses his hearing to the extent
that he can only hear the tick of his
watch two feet from the ear he may
not suspect it at all. His hearing is
good enough for ordinary purposes.
lie goes on without the slightest sus-
| picion that he is losing his hearing.
He may have ringing in the ear, or
cracking and swapping sounds in the
ear, or q feeling of pressure in the
ear, but he Is not aware that he is
losing his hearing.
Testing the Hearing.
It is a good thing to test your hear
ing with a watch. First hold the
watch against your ear, then move it
gradually away from the ear and see
how far away from the watch you
can actually hear it tick. Try 1t on
the other side and see If both ears
are alike. If you find that you are
unable to hear the watch on both sides
alike and at a distance of four feet
from the ear, YOU may know that
deafness has already begun. You
should begin taking Peruna at once.
Gargle the throat with cold, strong
salt water, as directed in the "Ills Of
Life" sent free by Peruna Co., CO.
lumbus, Ohio. Persist in this treat
ment until a cure is effected.
The Best Way to Gargle.
Sometimes catarrh of the nasal
pharyngeal space will cause an ac-
emulation of secretions in the throat,
that completely fill the space. Unless
these secretions are promptly re-
moved by frequent gargling polypi
may be formed. Once formed the
polypi or adenoids, as they are some
times called, will require a long time
with the gargling to remove. Gar
Cling according to the Proper method
will sometimes remove polypi or ade-
noids, and no surgical operation is
required.
In order to understand exactly what
is meant by proper gargling send for
a free copy of the Ills of Life"
During the whole course CT gargling
Peruna must be taken according to
directions on the bottle.

eines can now obtain Peruna Tablets
