To Relieve Catarrh
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and mead noises will be glad
to know that this distressing afflic-
ton can usually be successfully treat
ed at home by an internal medicine
that in many instances has effected
complete relief after other treatments
have failed. 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, If you know of
someone who is troubled with head
noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out
this formula and hand 1t to them and
you may have been the means of saw
ing some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription can
be prepared at home and is made as
follows:
Secure from your druggist / OF.
Parmint Double Strength), about 90
cents worth. Take this home and add
to it 4 pint of hot water and OF. of
graduated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times a
day.
Parmint is used in this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the in
fiammation and swelling in the Eusta-
chan Tubes, and thus to equalize the
air pressure on the drum, but to cor
rect 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.-Advt.

Emphatic Re-iterdtion
ST.. Paul Papers AnSDer
ToM. :ToDnley S Demand

st. Paul, Sept. 2s.-The st. Paul
Dispatch, upon which A. G. Townley,
president of the Nonpartisan league,
served notice demanding the retrac-
ton, of certain statements. made by
the paper in connection with the re-
cent Nonpartisan meeting in st.
Paul, published its answer to the de-
mand yesterday. There will be no
retraction, says The Dispatch. The
following is the statement by The
DispatchG = $500 r..
Our Answer.
A. C. Townley, VINO promoted the
recent Auditorium conference, has
served upon The st. Paul Dispatch
and Pioneer Press a demand for the
retraction Of the several editorial and
news references to himself, in con-
nection with that event. 1t is the
assumption that this demand is the
preface to an action at law for dam
ages.
II il unnecessary to tell the read
ing public of the northwest that the
articles to which Mr.. Townley objects
were severe and deliberate denlIncia-
ton of the disloyalty which .charac-
terized certain of the utterances at
that conference and to which the en-
tire country has risen in protest. They
were deliberate, because these news
papers refrained from editorial COM
ment until after the speech of the
renegade Wisconsin senator: they
were severe, because no terms which
dealt adequately with the studied
blows delivered during that confer
ence at the government Of the United
States could have been otherwise.
The answer Of The Dispatch and
Pioneer Press to the. demand for re-
traction is an emphatic reiteration
of every word and every term with
which they have directed. public att
tention to the disloyal and unpatrio-
tic utterances Of the Auditorium
meeting and to the men who, made
them. No denUnciation of such an
exhibition of disloyalty could be too
severe: no condemnation of the men
responsible could be too emphatic
Mr.. Townley makes the browning
mistake of his career If he supposes
that by a threat of any nature he can
throttle these newspapers or swerve
them a hairs breadth in the dis
charge of the public duty so impera-
tive in this hour of national stress
and struggle. The threat implied in
his demand is accepted for all that
it could signify.
