Mr.. Root, who with former Senator

his address by saying that 'the peo-

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffer-
Ing from catarrh and head noises. Amer
lean people would do well to consider
the method employed by the English to
combat this insidious disease. Every
one knows how damp the English eli
mate is and how dampness affects those
suffering from catarrh. In England
they treat catarrhal deafness and head
noises as a constitutional disease and
use an internal remedy for it that is
really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
watch tick tell how they had their hear
ing restored by this English treatment

Therefore. if you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises, cut out this form
ula and hand it to them. and you will
have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf
ness. The prescription can be easily
prepared at home for about Use and is
made as follows

Woman Speeds Auto and
Prevents Pay Roll Robbery

Hammondton, N. j., october 5.-An at
tempt by gang of highwaymen to Sc
cure an $4,000 pay roll was frustrated here
today when Mrs. Elsie Smathers speeded
up an automobile and escaped, but not
until her uncle, Henry Rider, had been
killed, and she and her father. A. j..
Rider seriously wounded. Mrs. Smathers'
husband was killed in an automobile ac-
cident three weeks ago. She is 26 years
old
The three were en- route to the large
cranberry boys owned by A. J. Rider
with the pay roll for the berry pickers
when five or six Italians halted the ma
chine about 10 miles west of Hammond
ton and, pointing revolvers at the oc-
cupants, demanded the money. Mrs
Smathers, who was driving, replied by
sending the car forward, but as the
bandits sprang out of the way they de-
livered a fusillade of shots. Henry
Rider, whose home was in Howell Mich,
was shot through the head, his brother
was struck twice in the face and Mrs.
Smathers was shot twice in the legs.

Uncle Sam Is Reaching Out

W. e. Aughinbaugh in Leslie's.
Foreign trade is a vital element in do
nestle prosperity. An unprecedented
proportion of American labor and CAPT.
tai is practically dependent on foreign
markets. One result of the past two
years has been the entrance of small
manufacturers and merchants, who never
before dreamed of overseas markets, into
the export trade. The employee as well
as the employer realizes that their joint
prosperity depends in a great measure
upon a sustained increasing foreign de-
mand for our goods.
In 1913 the per capita foreign trade OF
this country was $44 In two years and
a half it has risen to be about $6S per
person. To maintain this ratio after the
European cataclysm is over, as against
Englands per capita foreign trade OF
$149, or Germany's 49, means that our
mills and factories must run as they are
now operating and that our productions
must be sold in markets which we are
not today supplying, for with the re-
sumption of normal conditions in Europe
and the return of millions of soldiers to
industry competition of the keenest kind
is bound to develop and many of these,
for us, temporarily lucrative markets will
slowly but surely drift for one reason
or another, into the hands of those who
formerly supplied them. 1t behooves us
as a nation to conserve our natural re-
sources for the benefit of ourselves and
our posterity SO as to prevent their being
used to halt American export trade now
SO vital to our interests
In 1918 the United States exported $780,
coo 900 worth of raw cotton; $490, 0,001
worth of foodstuffs agricultural food
products and animals; $107. 600 worth
of forest products and 24S,000,o00 worth

The Babies Own Dairy

Gerald Mygatt in the Mothers Magazine.
The actual work of one of the Babies
Dairies-there are now three of them in
New York city alone-is SO simple in it
self that the results it brings are all the
more startling. Each dairy is under the
supervision of a phyhician who examines
each baby as it comes in and thereupon
prescribes a diet to correct that baby s
particular illness. During a period of
acute sickness a baby is observed every
day and the food is adjusted daily until
the child is thriving. Normally, however,
the physician is in attendance only once
a week.
The feelings are repeated daily in the
dairy by a nurse. The food is put in a
sufficient number of nursing bottles to
last "a hours, and the bottles are packed
in small zlnc-lined ice boxes for the
mothers to take home. These boxes are
returned on the following day with the
empty bottles and nipples. for fresh
supply. Once q week all the babies are
weighed and examined by the attending
physician and the food of each baby is
regulated No medicine whatsoever is
dispensed.
The home of each baby IS visited by
the nurse in charge. "A hours after the
child is first brought to the dairy, to
see if the mother understands the i'm
portance of regular feeding, ordinary
hygiene, proper ventilation, and plenty of
fresh air.
The actual cost of conducting a feed
ing station on the lines OF the Babies
Dairy is about $1O0 a month. Such a
station can handle so or 60 babies at a
time. A fixed charge of 10 cents a day is
collected from the mothers for the feed
ings they receive, and this practically
pays all expenses outside of rent and
the nurses salary For mothers who
are absolutely destitute no charge is
made, or else it is arranged that the
charge shall be paid by some charitable
organization.

NO ADVANCE MADE

Regarding the many rumors that the
United States already had made media
tory advances to the belligerents during
recent months, it was declared authors
tatively that mediation had neither been
offered by this government nor suggested
to it from abroad. 1t was fatty stated
that no new peace overtures at all had
been made to any of the belligerent gov
ernments, and that no belligerent govern
ment had indicated that such overtures
would be welcomed.
The United States, it was explained,
stands exactly where it has stood ever
since President Wilson, at the outbreak
of the war, made an open offer to use
the good offices of the country whenever
requested. Since that announcement, it
was declared, there has been no change
so far as the American government is
concerned.
While declining to be quoted directly
on so delicate matter, officials here
are understood to be thoroughly con-
WINGED that any peace move at this time
would be resented as unneutral, and
might impair the governments standing
as mediator when the time for action
comes. In support of this belief, atten-
ton is called to the formal decision of
