Nine New Banks
Chartered This Year

Little Rock. Dee. 18.-A partial
banking commissioner. which is now
on the press, shows that while there
were II liquidations of Arkansas
banks during the current year. no
loss was caused the depositors.
Three of the banks liquidated vol
UNFAIRLY, seven through other banks
and one by consolidation with an
other bank.
Nine new banks, at Everton, Hot
Springs, Ashdown, Heber Springs,
Hazen, Prescott, sparllman, De
Queen and Tuckerman, were char
tered. Their capitalization totals
$4,000, with a surplus of $4,000.
Capital stock in Is institutions was
increased to $33S,O0O and stock de-
crease totaling 100000 in six
were made.
Appropriations of $59,7O0 were
asked Of the 1917 legislature, ST.
900 less than was asked in 1915.
The fund from which the appropria-
tions fct the commission comes is
constituted by the fees and receipts
deposited by the commission in the
treasury, and while $4,000 was au-
thorized by the 1915 legislature for
the use of the commission less than
$4,000 was used.
Mr. Davis said yesterday that the
appropriation asked would probably
exceed the commissions actual
needs, but that he wanted to be
sure of sufficient funds to carry the
commission through any emergency.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf-
fering from catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to con-
slider the method employed by the
English to combat this insidous dis
ease. Everyone knows how damp the
English climate is and how dapmness
affects those suffering from catarrh.
In England they treat catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises as constitution
al 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 a watch was plainly audible seven
and eight inches away from either
ear.
Therefore, If you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be cas-
lily prepared at home for about 75c and
is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 OF. of
Parmint Double Strength), about 75c
worth. Take this home, and add to it
Il pint of hot water and 4 ounces of
graduated sugar; stir until dissolved
Take tablespoonful four times day
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the infiama-
ton and swelling in the Eustachain
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear, and the results it gives are usual
ly remarkably quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in
any form should give this recipe a
trial and free themselves from this
destructive disease Adv.
