For Catarrhal Deafness
 and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffer- ing from catarrh and head noises. American people would do well to con gsder , the method employed by the ease. Everyone knows how damp the English climate is and how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh In England they treat catarrhal deaf ness and head noises as constitu- tliona.1 disease and use an internal remedy for 1t that is really very effica cious.
 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 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 easily prepared at home for about 75c and Is made as follows:
 From Lee & Osgood, or any druggist, oobtain l oz Of Parmint Double home. and add to it A pint, of hot gar; stir until dissolved. Take a table spoonful four times a day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inAanna- a- 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 1t gives are usual ly remarkably quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in any free themselves from this destructive disease. Q

BREED THEATRE.
Drink and Regeneration Theme of New Metro Play The Devil at His Elbow, Feature for Today and Saturday.

The Devil at His Elbow is the un- Metro wonderplay in which Clifford Bruce and Dorothy Green are starred and which is the feature at the Breed theatre today and Saturday. This big production teaches a tremendous les son in the question of the drink evil Whether you drink or whether you are a total abstainer makes no difference The question is @ live issue in every city in the country. The value of The Devil at His Elbow lies first in its power; second in it's human appeal and thrill, and third in its tremendous lesson.
 Dorothy Green, well known to Broad > way, plays the role of a woman of the streets, who lifts a brilliant man up from the gutter, and then, fearing she is losing his love, she drags him down again, and tragedy results. Her work in this picture is devilish in its realism. She is a female satyr. De- Hlah, a vampire so unscrupulouS as to turn the blood cold in the veins.
 Clifford Bruce is starred with Miss Green, and he is the naval architect who is the victim of The Devil at His Elbow. The strength of this picture is it's awful realism and it's fidelity to truth.
 The Breed will also present the Metro Travelogue, showing eagles in their home and the great American turtle, and Mir. and Mrs. Sidney Drew in a very funny one reel comedy en- titled The SChomers completes the bill for today and Saturday. Matinee al 230 and evenings at and S.30.

A DECIMAL SYSTEM
 FOR BRITISH COINAGE Is Being Considered-Also a Metric System Of Weights and Measures.

London, Oct. 5.-The suggestion that Great Britain shall adopt after the war a decimal system of coinage pat termed after that in use in the United States is receiving earnest COnsidera- ton. There is recurring discussion also of adopting a metric system of weights and measures.
 It is pointed out, however, that there are manifold difficulties connected with metric weights and measures which do not apply in any way to the pro- posed Ameican plan of coinage. The latter change could be made with a minimum of disturbance and proba bly with the acduiescence of just those classes who in the past have been the chief obJectOrs to various plans pro- posed.
 The poor man in the street generally has the deciding voice in changes of this kind and he must be educated with patience and logical argument He objected to abolishing the Gregorian calendar on the ground that it would in some way or other rob him of a certain number of lost days. He pro- tested against turning up the clock an hour on the theory that it was a scheme to make him work an hour longer each day.
 It is realized here that any pro- posed coinage change having the ap- pearance of even a nominal inpoyer- ishment of the poor would be doomed at the start, despite all arguments as to the simplifcation of financial arith- metic, both as to the mental process of making small change as well as in the larger field of commercial hook keeping.
 The plan to adopt the American standard fortunately has the appear ance of really enhancing the values of

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Another Complete Change Of Program Today-Th;rd Episode Beatrice Fairfax.

The Homan Musical Comedy com pany will again today change their bill and will present the Imaginable comedy Casey's Night Out, a very amusing farce full of bright lines and excellent musical numbers. On the picture program will be Peggy Fly land in a picturization of Henry Ar thur Jones' popular play, Saints and Sinners, produced in five stirring reels by the Famous Players company.
 The great distinction and success that this powerful play has attained on the stages of every English-speaking country of the globe, added to it's un- usual pictorial possibilities, make this subject an unique photoplay offering. But besides these details of more than ordinary interest, added importance attaches to the production because the noted British star, Peggy Hyland, ap- pears on the screen in the role of Lefty, the central character, about whom the absorbing and thrilling plot revolves. Miss Hyland's charm and dramatic talents combine to make the characterization one to be long re- membered. Altogether, the extraordi- nary conjunction of star and play con- tributes to make this photodrama one of the most important ever offered by the Famous Players Film company on the Paramount program.
 The third episode of the serial pho- toplay Beatrice Fairfax, taken from the story now running in the Boston and New York Sunday Americans, will be shown on the picture screen today and tomorrow also.

Great -erandmother Huntington.

Miss Sarah March Freeman of Troy, N. T., who has been spending the sum- mer in the vicinity of Westerly, was uptown Thursday to look up the Christopher Huntington line. Her great grandmother was a Huntington who married at the time of the Revo- lution and went to Hanover, N. H. The trip was made on horseback, her household goods, which included a Harland clock, accompanying the young couple Among the places of interest Miss Freeman visited was the old cemetery, the green, the Christo- pher Huntington house and historic places at Harland's Corner.

small coins to the extent of one cent in each shilling. This is how it would work out:
 One pound, or sovereign, would be- come $5. The ten shilling note would be issued as $2.50, the four shilling piece, or double horin, would become one dollar, the two shilling, or f1orin, would become 50 cents,' the shilling a quarter, and the penny would equal two cents and the half penny would be called one cent.
 If the pound sterling, or sovereign, should remain the standard British unit rather than the dollar, it is. pro posed that such notes and coins should have the double designation stamped thereon, the pound being marked as such on one siGe and as $5 on the re- verse face.
 As to saving money for the poor, it is pointed out that under this system all half penny articles could be bought for 1-500th of the standard gold coin instead of 1-5S0th as at present and prices would to that extent be scaled down. Another argument in favor of the dollar decimal system is that 1t would standardize the coinage between Great Britain and Canada, her great colony.

IIFE'S TRACK.

 This game of fife is a dangerous play, Each human soul must watch alway From the first to the very last. care not however strong and pure Let no man say he Is perfectly sure The dangerous reefs are past. For many rock may turk near by That never is seen when the tide is
 high
 Let no man dare to boast. When the hand is full of trumps-be-
 ware,
 For that is the time when thought and
 care
 And nerve are needed most. As the oldest jockey knows to his COST, Full many a well-run race is lost brief half length from the wire. Ana many soul that has fought with
 sin. And gained each battle. at last gives in To sudden, fierce desire And vain seems the effort of spur and Or the l1oarsc. hot cry of the pallfd Iip. When once we have fallen back lt IS better to keep on Stirrup and rein Ihe steady rotse and the careful strain In speeding along life's track. A watchful eye and a strong. true Will carry us under the Judges stand, If prayer, too, does it's part And little by little the struggling soul VIII grow and strengthen and gain
