TO Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness And
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glad
to know that this distressing affliction
can usually be successfully treated at
home by an internal medicine that in
many instances has erected complete
relief after other treatments have fail
ed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear
have had their hearing restored to such
an extent that the tick OF a watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear. Therefore ii you
know of someone who is troubled with
Alea6 noises or catarrhal deafness, cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may have been the means of
saving some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be prepared at home and is made as
follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 OF. Par
min Double Strength), about rs cents
worth. Take this home and add to 1t
4 pint of hot water and 4 OF. of granu-
lated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take
one tablespoonful four times n day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
TO reduce by tonic action the inflamma-
tion and swelling in the Eustachian
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 it gives are nearly
always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form should give this recipe a trial.

A bill defining fraternal benefit So
cieties was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Crow. 1t is designed to pro-
of societies working through the lodge
system, and fixes plan of operation so
that all such societies can absolutely

Root, appreciate how serious the
conditions are which confront us
not one of us really understands how
fraught with good or ill, with perpetu-
ity of our institutions. or with the
ruin of our country, is the course of
the American people within the next
few months.
Germany Making War
The situation is very eXtraordin-
airy one. Germany is making war
upon us. There may not be techni-
cally war because it may be that it
takes two to produce nat; but Ger
many is making war upon us, anbl
we are all waiting to see whether we
are to take it lying down. 1t is either
war or it is submission to oppression.
What is there we can do? Only
this: We can perform the duty of a
free, self-governing people by speak
ing in clear and certain tones, so that
the spirit and the purpose and the
will of free people may be heard in
Washington and our government may
know that the American people will
be behind it, supporting it, approving
it, sustaining it in maintaining the
honor and the integrity and the in
dependence and the freedom of our
Republic.
Wilson Wants to Hear
MY diagnosis or the situation is
that the President wants to hear from
the people. He has said so many
times. He wants to hear whether the
people of the United States want him
to go on and act. Let us answer to
his want and tell him that the Ameri-
can people do want him not to dis
cuss. not to plan, not to talk about
what is going to be done, but to act. 4"
Mr.. Hughes, in calling the meeting
to order, said:
I'VE are here to record our .convfc-
tions, to offer our service. IT is the
distinction of this club that it came
into being as an instrumentality of
national service, giving its pledge of
unconditional loyalty. Its loyalty, of
which we speak, is not a mere form
of words. 1t is the loyalty that de-
fends; it is the loyalty that preserves;
it is the loyalty that is fittingly ex-
pressed in the supreme service of sac
rifice.
Ruthless Barbarity
"I am sure that none of us can fail
to recognize the actual condition of
affairs. Let us not delude ourselves.
Germany is now making war upon the
United States, making war with a
ruthless barbarity. 1t is not uues-
ton of legalistic conception. There
is now a state of war, and the United
States, the people of the United States
should recognize that fact. Our citi-

intent is manifest.
There must be prompt defense.
adequate defense. These attacks,
these illegal assaults should be re-
polled. There is something here far
more important even than the lives of
particular men who are exposed to
these brutal onslaughts. There is a
principle involved in the attacks that
have been made, and the success of
that principle, 1 do not think it too
much to say, threatens the integrity
