To Relieve Catarrh
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises will be glad to
know that this distressing afficton can
usually be successfully treated at home by
an Internal medicine that in many in
stances has effected complete relief after
other treatments have failed. Sufferers
who could scarcely hear have had their
hearing restored to snch an extent that
the tick of watch WAS plainly audible
seven or eight inches away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know of someone who is
troubled with head noises or catarrhal
deg fness cut out this formula and hand
it to them and you may have been the
means of saving some poor sufferer rer-
hups from total deafness The prescription
cad be prepared at home and is made as
follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 OF. Par
miut Double Strength, about 90 cents
worth. Take this home and add to it
4, pint of hot water and OF. of granu-
lated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times day.
ParmiHt is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflamma-
ton and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes,
aud thus to equalize the air pressure on
the drum, but TO correct any excess of
secrctions in the middle ear. and the re-
suits it gives are nearly always quick and
effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form should give this recipe triai.-Ad-

6l1E1NI Rows BACH
" THEATRICAL REVIEWS "a
THE GRAND.

While The Stacker" advances the
strongest appeal of any patriotic
superfeature shown in Topeka this
year, there are a great many posi-
bilities, particularly in the allegorical
scenes, not taken advantage of by the
directors The allegorical climax
especially was weakened because the
setting was not as imposing as the
theme dealt with.
Nevertheless, the makers of the
film did their work well enough to
warrant calling their product super
feature. 1t contains food for thought
for every man who thinks it would
be a disgrace to go to war unless he
may wear an officers uniform. The
film was evidently made after close
study of the governments policy in
asking men to enlist. 1t depicts the
difference between the idle man who
married to keep from going to war
and the man forced to stay at home
because he has children to support;
condemns the former and justifles the
latter.

NEW YORK, Jan 1G.--Promlnent bank
ers stated today that they entertained con-
hdence over the outlook for the Offering
of the proposed new British loansof not
more than $500 900 900 at this time be-
cause of the large number of inquiries that
have been received regarding the transac-
tion. 1t Is understood that several i'm
portant and attractive features will be in
jected into the new loan, which 1t Is be-
lieved will render 1t a particularly de-
sirable Investment for individuals as well
as institutions
According to present plans it is expected
that part of the issue will mature In one
year, and part in two years, and that 1t
will be put out on n basis TO yield six per
cent or better, although the interest rate
carried will probably not be higher than
8 y per cent
1t is understood that the notes will be
convertible into long term bonds at ma
turity on basis that will show substan-
tial benefits to the holders.
