WASHINGTON, July 9.-Ap-
ropos of the present fighti in Con-
gress to suppress the manufac-
ture of whiskey during the war,

quarrel. because they drank
nothing but beer and cider.

The boys and girls OF the country
have been appealed to, to be the Ma

now national auxiliary of the Red
Cross, to aid in easing the beds of
pain of soldiers in military hospitals
in France by supplying stuffiing ma
terials for fracture pads and small
pillows for hospital use. Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins is chairman of the
Washington branch, which is locate
at 1901 Connecticut avenue.
Cattails. mi!kweed and sphagnum
often called moss" or "Spha gnum
moss" are particularly adapted to
this purpose. Cattaiis grow abun-
dantly in shallow water in nearly all
parts of the United States.
More than fifty species of milkweed
and allied plants bearing seed pods
filed with down are found In nearly
all parts OF the United States. These
pods. nearly ripe, may be picked from
the plants and the mass of down
taken out and freed from the seed
and core.
Sphagnum moss is light, very ab-
sorbent and aseptic. 1t grows in beds
often from two to four feet deep in
swamps across the Northern United
States and Canada. All kinds of raw
cotton, cotton batting and non-ab-
sorbent cotton is requested by the
committee.

How to Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness or Head Noises

If you have catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises caused by
catarrh. or if phlegm drops in your
throat and has caused catarrh of
the stomach or bowels you will be
glad to know that these distressing
symptoms may be entirely overcome
in many instances by the following
treatment which you can easily pre-
pare in your own home at little
cost. Secure from your druggist
l =. ounce Of Parmint Double
Strength). This will not cost you
more than 90c. Take this home and
add to it 4 pint of hot water and
4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir
until dissolved. Take one table,
spoonful four times a day. An inn
provement is sometimes noted after
the first days treatment Breathing
should become easy, while the dis
tressing head noises, headaches,
dullness, cloudy thinking. etc.
should gradually disappear under
the tonic action of the treatment.
Loss of smell. taste, defective hear
ing and mucus dropping in the back
of the throat are other symptoms
which suggest the presence of ca
tarrh and which may often be over
come by this efficacious treatment.
IL nearly-90 per cent of all ear trou-
bles are caused by catarrh, there
must be many people whose hear
ing may be restored by this simple
home treatment.-Adv,

Now custom has decreed that the
wife should be younger than the hus-
band. and has made the old wife of
the young husband a figure of fun,
Therefore. IL an elderly bride pos
sessed every charm and virtue under
the sun it would not keep her young
husband from being ashamed Of her,
nor prevent him writhing under the
torture of having some ninny mistake
her for his mother.
The other weakness such a marriage
probes to its sorest bottom is mans
pet vanity of posing as the head of
the house. No man with a wife older
than he is can ever be that No man
ten years younger than his wife can
ever be an oracle to her. She has
seen so much more of life, felt SO
much more. experienced so much more
that she can only be tolerant of his
opinions as We are Of those Of a pre-
cocious child.

ally. With the most amiable inten-
tions in the world, IL is utterly inn
possible for an elderly wife to keep
from henpecking her young husband.
And of all tedious wives under the
sun. the elderly wife of the young hus-
band is the most green-eyed and sus-
picious. This is inevitably bound TO
be the case because she knows in her
soul that youth calls to youth and
that her own fading charms Of body
and spirit cannot rival the rosy checks.
the sparkling eyes, the verve, and
gayety and dash Of girlhood.
So though the husband may be a
very Joseph. though he be circum-
spection itself. he may not have even
the most platonic of friendships with
young woman, or show ordinary
civility to a beautiful young girl with
out his wife having her heart torn
by every demon of jealousy and
wreaking her fears and suspicious
upon his defenseless head.
These and a hundred other reasons
make it folly for a man TO marry a
woman ten years older than himself.
and crime for her TO marry him.

time, both for the snatcher and the

HOROSCOPE.
Friday, September Fl, 1917.

Good and ill contend today. Jupiter,
Mercury and the sun rule strongly for
the benefit of mankind, against the
evil power of Uranus.
This persistently menacing sway of
Uranus is read as giving warning of
the use of explosives in every possible
manner likely to destroy human life.
For months the seers have prognos-
ticated that as the year declined the
malefic power of Uranus would be-
come more active toward the United
States.
In the balance hang the fortunes
of war and astrologers who have not
often failed in their prophesies pre-
dict a peace, but If the final agitation
of the year is not successful. then a
long war must be carried on.
Uranus, so sinister and terrible in
some respects. still may bring benefits
and 1t is this planet that will aid in
ventors to accomplish miracles.
Surprises in the way of instruments
or devices for war are foretold as
part of the demonstration of United
states resourcefulness.
Illinois has the prophecy of great

generosity on the part of her citi-
Zens.
Canada should have a winter of pros

develop.
Until after Thanksgiving the stars
appear to be most promising to thea
trical managers. and Washington,

of success. IL the signs are read

South America comes under a sway
