To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises will be glad to know
that this distressing affection can usually
be successfully treated at home by an
internal medicine that in many instances
has effected complete relief after other
treatments have failed. Sufferers who
could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how
they have had their hearing restored to
such an extent that the tick of watch
was plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear. Therefore, if you
know of someone who is troubled with
head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out
this formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer from perhaps total deafness
The prescription can be prepared at home
and is made as follow.
Secure from your druggist ] %. Par
worth. Take this home and add to it a
pint of hot water and OF. of graduated
sugar, stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times day.
Parmnt is used in this way, not only
to reduce by tonic action the inf1amma-
ton and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pres
sure on the drum, but to correct any ex-
cess of secretions in the middle ear, and
the results it gives are nearly always
quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrhs in any
form should give this recipe a trial and
free themselves from this destructive dis
ease.-Ady.

PRESIDENT Alley
Tells MINISTERS
AVOID POLITICS

Bangor, Me, April 1S.-Speaking be-
fore the Ministers Conference Of Ban
gor and vicinity at the Y. NJ. c. A.,
Monday forenoon on the topic. What
the Educator Has to Say to the Min
lister" Pres, Robert J. Alley of the Uni
ycrsity of Maine told the clergymen
in effect that he would advise them to
stick to religion when in the pulpit and
not to discuss politics, art, sociology
or kindred topics. AS worsh1pper, he
goes to church, not to hear Of these
matters, but of religion, which every
man needs. The clergyman is a spe-
cialist-let him confne himself to his
speciality, worship. When he attempts
other lines. he often does things in an
amateurish way. Combining himself to
Christianity, he commands hearing
and speaks of matters not within the
province of other men of learning.
That the war has advanced the cause
of religion all over the world was an
other opinion set forth by Pres. Alley,
who said that before the war, men
thought more of the Deity as especially
for the DenenC OIL tHelT
ton. Frenchmen considering God for
France, Germans for Germany and so
on. Now they realize that God is for
all men.
THE time has come for us to stop
arguing on religious matters, for the
age when men are considering topics
of religion as fit subjects for debating
societies and forums is past. Today
we must get together on the things we
can agree on, talk them and impress
them on ALL We must try to agree on
the fundamental things in religion.
President B. T. Livingston was In
the chair and prayer was offered by
A. E. Morse, district superintendent, G
F. Hosmer, assistant secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A., and Ensign Robert j. c.
Klepzig of the Salvation Army were
elected to membership.
Arrangements were made for the an.
nuaI outing to be held at Camp War.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys,

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
we'll known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
It is q good insurance against such a
risk to send 10 cents for q sample
package of wAnuric ut the latest dis
covery of DR.. Pierce. Also send q
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DR.. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, WORKOUT feeling, it's
time to write DR.. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without charge-absolutely free. This
"Anuric" of Doctor Pierce's is found
to be 81 times more active than ithia,
for it dissolves uric acid in the system
as hot water does sugar.
Simply ask for DR.. Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of rAnuric" is sure to
be DR.. Herce's. You will find the sigma
ture on the package just as you do on

SUSPECT IN NORTH

Authorities at Waterville Could
Not Connect Pedlar with Case
Further Details of Robbery

Waterville, Me-, April 1s.-(Special.-
Monday night the police of this city
took one EARNED peddlar in charge on
the suspicion that he might be connect
ed with the break at the North Vas

ing. They were unable to connect him
with the break, in spite of questioning
by the local men and by the post Of

day.
Details of the break received here
supplementing the Journals Tuesday
morning story, indicate that the break
was the work of two men who made a
safe getaway. 1t was about l O'Clock
in the morning when the people who
live near the postoffice heard an eN-
posion and some time after the two
men we're seen on the street near there
by Mr.. and Mrs. James McDouSall
who i've only a little way from the
place. TIE man who lives upstairs
over the office did not give the alarm
until about o'clock Monday morn
ing. The Waterman in the wooden mil
across the street did not hear any
thing, and those who did apparently
were either too frightened to sounc
an alarm or else did not realize what
it was. The break was evidently the
work of professionals. The doors were
fastened with new picture cord, anc
the safe was blown with a charge thai
was sufficient to take the door com

made quick work of cleaning 1t ou'

An Old Fashioned
Home Remedy

Many men and more women are
often ailing and poorly, without being
really sick. They feel mean ard out
of sorts, restless and nervous, with
little appetite, weak stomach, and
maybe suffer from frequent sick
headaches and bilious attacks. In
other words, they are all rundown"
and need something that will build
them up. A good remedy for this
purpose is IL. F." Atwood's Medicine.
While not cure-all, it acts as a gen.
eral tonic and conditioner, toning the
stomach. improving the appetite, puri-
flying the blood and stimulating the
liver. So thorough that it will bene-
fit the biggest man, and so safe that
it may be taken by the weakest
woman or frailest child The family
