(By United Press)

Berlin,O ct. 25.-General Macken-
sons troops have captured Cerno-
voda, the eastern terminus of tho
great railway. This victory is con-
s1dered vastly more important than
the capture of Constanza three days
ago. Full details have not been re-
ceived. It is believed that the Ru-
man1an and Russian troops were
trapped and are now in a perilous
position on the Transylvanian from
tier. General Falkenhayn has CAP
tured the famous Vulkan pass, an
other great Teutonic victory. At
the Rumanian capitol it was admit
ted today that the situation is seri-
Gus. Bucharest is seeking help.

The people of section Of the north of
Ireland a few years ago became notorious
for their addiction to ether-drinking, and
their condition has been widely discussed
by British medical authorities. Some

ether drunkards, and have given great

concerned.

Ether is drunk habitually by some psr.
sons as a stimulant. and it produces the
most violent kind Of drunkenness. Its
use has never become widespread in this
form because 1t is disagreeable to the
taste, and does not have the attraction
that many people find in whiskey, brandy
and other forms of alcohol. 1t has been
stated by medical authorities that ether

this Is open to serious question. 1t seems
certain, however, that the effect of ether

whiskey drunkenness and leaves less

Heed the Warning
If You Have a Cough

The deep-seated cough that does not
yield TO ordinary treatment may lead
to distressing pulmonary troubles Or
it may bring on a chronic bronchial af-
fection. Many persons now incapaci-
tated might have avoided such disastrous
results by timely care and efficient med
ical treatment
Among the latter Eckman's Alternative
has an enviable record It is a lime
bearing preparation which is easily as
simulated in most instances. Where used
in connection with nourishing food and
proper living, it has given widespread
relief.
Its freedom from poisonous or habit
forming drugs of any nature whatsoever
renders it safe to try. And its content
OF calcium gives it tonic value.
