Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat Of the disease.
Catarrh is local disease, greatly in
fluenced by constitutional conditions, and
in order to cure it you must take an
internal remedy. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine is taken internally and acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces OF the
system. Halls Catarrh Medicine was
prescribed by one Of the best physicians
in this country for years. It is COM
combined with some Of the best blood
purifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine is what produces such wonderful
results in catarrhal conditions. Send fer

With the British Armies Afield, April
2O.-Events in Petrograd recently were
the heaviest blow against the German
Empire yet struck
This war is the most popular Russia
ever waged. From the start the peo-
pie put their shoulders to the wheel
But also from the start Russian Blu
reaucracy bungled at every turn.
The army was left without supplies
Patriotic organizations like the Fem
stoys or Municipality Unions, stepped
in and saved the situation for two
years.
The purely peoples organizations =
have done everything.
Meanwhile the old regime grew I'M
easy. It saw the ground slipping from
underneath it's feet So it did every
thing ohamper the patriotic peoples
workers. 1t declared the Zemstovs, the
War Industry Committee and other
such movements "political organiza-
tions.' The Russian bureaucrats did
their best to abolish them.
Things went from bad to worse as
this situation developed. The reaction
aries tried their best to seize the Ieins
of control in the summer of 1916. They
began by ousting Safanoff, the liberal
foreign minister. Sturmer took the job
centralizing all ministerial power, IN
himself
All along Russia 8 soldiers knew just
what was happening. They have al
ways known who were their real friends
They anticipated just what had occur
red-but they thought it would not
take place until after the return Of the
soldiers from the war;
Abuses precipitated things-and the
revolution came sooner than expected.
Such leaders Of the provisional gov
eminent as Lvoff (premier), Guchoff
(Minister Of war; (Foreign Secretary
Chingaref (Duma Leader) and others
are known and respected throughout
Russia. They were the men behind
the Zemstoy movement. they We're
prominent in all the peoples move
ment.
More than once they saved Russia
From the start they had been deter
mined to see a victorious Russia.
[ had an opportunity to talk to each
one of thes men when in Russia lew
months ago. They all told me that a
separate peace by Russia was impessl-
BILE.
News Of the unsuccessful coup by
which these firm men now control Rus
STA indicates that the real nation nov.
seems ready to enter the arena.

Like an Electric
 Button en Toes Tells Why Corn is So Painful and Says Cutting Makes
 Them Grow.

Press an electric button asd you form a contact with live wire which rings the bell. When your shoes press against your corn 1t pushes its sharp roots down upon sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain.
 Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very litle but is sufficient to remove every hard corn or eallus from ones feet. A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn stops the soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so 1t lifts right out, root and all, without pain This drug freezone is harmless and never inflames or even irritates the sur rounding skin.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
 NOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure catarrh- al deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedy Catarrhal Deafness IS caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness Is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many eases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Gatarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the mucous sur faces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c

CHAPTER XVII.
The Pursuit.


Within the coming tower Donald
could hear distinctly the chugging Of
the engines of MacBeard's motorboat.
Had he risen to the surface both ves-
sells would have been invisible in the
hydrogen gloom; but then he might
have lost his quarry. Under water he
could hear the sound greatly increased
In volume, and could better determine
its direction.
He surmised correctly that Mac
Beard, having followed the swarm.
would attempt to lead il nOrthward by
means Of his tunilg-foIk. And the
swarm, sensing the presence of the
queen, would accompany the F55.
while MacBeard believed that he had
himself mustered them.
With the tip of her Deriscope just
submerged, Donald steered the F55.
Never had he followed so shrewdly
upon an enemys track. Now to port,
now to starboard, he followed the
sound Of the gasoline engines, willis
Clouts watched them and Davies, In
the diving station, sent up an occa-
sional CHEEKY message.
Night fell and passed Dawn came
up, although not a vastige of light
could have been seen, even ailOat. A

Conservation and the reading of
advertisements go hand in hand.
Conservative shoppers know that adj
vertised brands are the best brands
and that they may place full conf
dence in the goods that merchant
has sufficient confidence in to ad-
vertise. Whether goods are a
bargain or not, depends on their
quality and wise shoppers know that
merchant could not afford to ad-
vertise goods of poor quality. BY
buying quality a saving is eff ected
and saving is the heart and soul of
conservation.
