A FINE TREATMENT
FOR CATARRH
EASY TO MAKE AND COSTS LITTLE

Catarrh is such an insidious disease and
has become so prevalent during the past few
years that its treatment should be under
stood by all.
Science has fully proved that Catarrh Is
a, constitutional disease and therefore re-
qures constitutional treatment. Sprsys.
inhalers, salves and nose douches seldom II
ever give lasting benefit and often drive the
disease further down the air passages and
into the lungs.
II you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deafness
or head-noiscs, go to your druggist and get
one ounce of Parmint Double Strcngth).
Take this home and add TO It Y pint Of hot
water and ounces Of granulated sugar; stir
until dissolved. take one tablespoonful
times a day.
This will often bring quick relief from the
distressing head -noises, clogged nostrils
should open. breathing become easy and
mucus stop dropping into the throat.
This treatment has a slight tonic action
which makes 1t especially effective In cases
where the blood has become thin and weak
1t Is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs
little. Every person who wishes to be free
from this destructive disease should give
this treatment trial.---Advertisement

Headquarters of the Italian Army.
June 2s.-Adamcllo, which Virgil

the most elevated spot in the world
where war has ever been waged.
Through the courtesy of the italian
general staff, which is DESTROYS that
the world outside of italy should know
the har6ships of this unprecedented
campaign, the correspondent of the
Associated Press was the first civilian
allowed to witness the fighting on this
colossal mountain, which is 11,oOO
feet high and covered with eternal
SHOWS.
The correspondent saw the noun
tain swarming with thousands of
Whitehead Alpine soldiers singing,
alert, eager. crossing glaciers, chal-
longing avalanches. charging the
enemy with fixed bayonets-an above
the clouds.
There the correspondent witnessed
the action of heavy artillery. battery
of which fired from the highest point
IN the world where artillery had ever
been placed or from which it had ever
been fired. 1t seemed almost a mir
acle that such big guns could have
been transported in two months of
hard labor from a distance of fifteen
miles in one of the valleys below. Over
two hundred men had been required
for the dragging Of a single one of the
an avalanche had swooped down from
the mountain sides and swallowed up
the cannon and devoured forty of the
men.
Amid Spectacular Scenery.
The professional mountain climber
never attempted to reach the top of
Adamello, but in summer the view of
the surrounding Alps with Mont
Blanc, the Jungfrau, and Monte Rosa
in the distance is considered the best
in Europe. Winter and summer the
fighting there is under conditions that
prevail only in the Arctic regions.
There Austrians and Italians meet in
silent death grip, their deaths and
their deeds all but unrecorded save in
dry army annals, given but a brief
line in the terse bulletins of General
Cadorna.
One of the curious facts connected
with this mountain front is that no.

Mobilization Will Result in Plan OF
Keeping Guardsmen Equipped.

New York, June 27.-Major General
Leonard Wood, commander of the de-
partment of the east, issued a state
ment here in which he declared the
present system, or rather lack of sys-
tenn, of equipping the state militia
for active duty was the main reason
for delay in the mobilization and
sending of troops to the border.
The militia is not permitted. under
existing laws, he said, to keep extra
field equipment in armories and as a
result when the call to arms came
rifles, cannon, clothing, ETC., had to
be obtained from the nearest arsenal.
Horses also had to be purchased in
open market
The result of the Mexican trouble 1
believe will cause construction of the
system of equipping the national
guard said General Wood In the
future 1 believe state organization will
have on hand in their armories their
own equipment"
