In an article, "Sleep For the Sleep
less" in the Worlds Work the author
quotes an eminent surgeon who mado
a study of sleep in the French army q
follows:
'In the retreat from Mons to the
Marne we had an extraordinary human
experiment in which several hundred
thousand men secured little sleep dur
ing nine days and In addition made
forced marches and fought one OF tho
greatest battles in history. ~
How, then, did these men survive
nine days apparently without opportu-
nifty for sleep? They did an extraorli-
nary tbing-they slept while~~.hey
marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down
their pace to a rate that would permit
them to sleep while walking. When
they halted they fell asleep. They
slept in water and on rough grounds
when suffering the pangs Of hunger
and thirst and even when severely
wounded. They cared not for capture,
not even for death, If only they could
sleep.
1.-The UNMARRIED testimony of the sol
diers was that every one at times
slept on the march. They passed
through villages asleep. When sleep
deepened they were awakened by COM
rades. They slept in water. on stones,
In brush or In the middle of the road
as If they had suddenly fallen in death.
With the ever oncoming lines of the
enemy no man was safe who dropped
out of the ranks, for no matter on
what pretext he fell out sleep con-
quered him. Asleep many were cap
tured. That the artillery men slept on
horseback was evidenced by the fact
that every man lost his cap"

For Catarrhal Deafness
 and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suf- fering from catarrh and head noises. American people would do well to con slider the method employed by the English to combat this insiHouS dis ease. Everyone knows how damp the affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a conStitu tional dis ease and use an internal remedy for 1t that Is really very efHcacious.
 Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick Of a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear.
 Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises. 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 easily prepared at home for few cents and is made as follows:
 From your druggist obtain oz. of home and add to it + pint of hot water and ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take a tablespoonful four times a day.
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inf1amma- tion and swelling in the Eusta chian tubes, and thus to equaIize the air any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are usually quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in my form should give this recipe a trial. For sale by The Lee X Osgood Co.

TO MAKE A STANDARD
 PRICE FOR SILVER.
Treasury Officials Are Conferring With
 Western Producers.

Washington, Dec 3.-Treasury off, c,als today held the first of a series of conferences with western silver pro ducers looking to the ultimate fixing of a standard rrice for silver, effective for one year, and to government acqui- sition of options on practically. the entire output of the United States.
 Pressing needs of this country and the allies for silver coin under ab- normal war conditions is responsible for the plans. It contemplates gov ernment control of the market for American silver at a fixed price, prob ably above the present market rate ot ST cents an ounce.
 Jewellers, manufacturers of dentistry and optical supplies and other silver users would cc1tinue to receive sup ply under the tentative government plan, probably at the standard price. Details of the arrangement are yet to be worked out, however, and officials today emphasized the statement that for the present the government is in terested mainly in obtaining sufficient silver at a fair price for it's own and allied coinage needs, and thereby to sta bilize foreign exchange conditions.
 Great Britain and France, particu- larIy, need silver for coinage, and it is planned to distribute an equitable portion of the American output to them.

After that date no registered man will be accepted for enlistment in the Connecticut district as a volunteer.
 Every branch of the service is open to applicants with the exception of the cavalry, and the fact that registered men are making use of their last chance is proved by the fact that 65 men were sent to the recruit depots from this state Friday. and 24 men on Saturday.
