For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

r.ere in America there is much suf-
icrinS from Catarrh and head noises.
American people would do well to CON
-idcr the method employed by the
English to combat this insdious di-
seasc. Everyone knows how damp
the English climate is and how damp
ness affects those suffering from,
catarrh. In England they treat Ca
tarrhal deafness and head noises as a
constitutional disease and use an in
ternal remedy for it that is really very
cfiiCacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
nave had their hearing restored by
tent that the tick of a watch was
plainly audible seven and eight inches
away from either ear.
therefore, if you know someone

SAYS JOURNALIST
Peace Now Would Mean That
Blood of Brave Sons Has
Been Shed in Vain

Germany is trying to talk to the
allies about peace, but this is no time
for us to talk to Germans about any
thing. Look at the map.
A No man or woman in the land
wants this devast ling war to last a
single day longer than is necessary;
but peace talk now would assuredly
mean that the blood of our best and
bravest would have been shed in
vain.
Germany would come to the con-
ference table to-day with the AFRO
CANT bearing of a conqueror. She
would seek to impose terms She
holds whole kingdoms in her grip
whereas not an inch of German soil
in Europe is in the hands of the al
lies.
On the map the kaiser bestrides
the continent. His fists grasp the twin
keys of Antwerp and Constantinople
1t is the map which will tell at the
peace conference. Ministers in this
country, all the experts, all the peo-
pie who have the habit of seeing just
what they wish to see, keep on
shouting to the skies that Germany
is beaten" The statement is mis-
leading. In the sense in which a
great chess player can look twenty
moves ahead, Germany was beaten
almost before q shot was fired. She
was beaten from the moment Great
Britain drew the sword, because it
was at once clear, and has been clear
ever since, that she could not pos
sibly win. But while she holds the

PRICE OF SUGAR

Beat Sugar Producers Agree to
 Make It Eight Cents

Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.-Beet s5unar producers in conferences with the food administration yesterday reached a unanimous agreement under which the stable retail price of sugar will be about eight cents a pound. They will sell to wholesalers at eastern refining points at ' IA cents a pound, cane basis, and the re- tail price, 1t was stated, would nor mally be not more than three of a cent higher.
 At the same time the food admin istration announced that an interna- tional committee of five had been named to arrange for the purchase and distribution of the vast quanti-

it is expected particularly in view of the governments power to prevent importation by refusing licenses to producers not agreeing to the uni form price. 7
 Am erican cane sugar representa- tives, it is believed, will take action similar to that of the beet sugar men within a week. Most cane producers already have agreed to ' IA cent price, or it's equivalents, but this is not regarded as final until the deci- sion is unanimous. The objections of about 10 per cent. of the beet sugar men to the low price were composed at a final conference.
 The new sugar price will become effective in the west October l, when the 1917 crop reaches the refineries, and in the east about two weeks later. The present price of beet sugar to wholesalers is about S4 cents a pound.

O'LEARY APPROVED
 OF RIDDER'S PAPER
Publisher Of ''Bull" Is Proved to
 Be PrO-German

New York, Sept. 21.-A nation wide paganda, the purpose of which is ! to discredit and handicap in every l possible way the government of the i United States in it's prosecution of the war against Germany is at work in this country and this propaganda is supported by a great number of publi- cations, some printed in English and others in various foreign languages, according to the sworn statement of Postmaster General Albert S. Burle- son, filed in the United States District court here yesterday afternoon.
 The affidavit was filed in support of the postmaster generals action in eX- cluding from the mails the pro-Ger- man publication known as Bull, of which Jeremiah A. OLeary, head of the American Truth Society,"" is the directing head. The publishers sought to have the ruling of the post
 master general set aside. and Mr. Burlesons statement was filed in answer to that application. Judge Charles M. Hough, who heard arau- ments in the case, sustained the post master generals action.
 With his affidavit Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson filed a photograph of letter written by O'Leary to Bernard Fl. Nidder, president of Staats-Zei- tung company, on Aug. last, in which O'Leary advised MT Ridder to take heart and fight" and to ex- i press publicly what O'Leary said he
 knew to be MT. Riders private ! views regarding the war.
 l Don't tell me about the patriotic | stand of your newspaper O'Leary wrote the editor of the Staats-Zeitung, when 1 know that you have adopted 1 your present policy because you fig
 ured Germany was going to win the
 war and you said, Whats the use of
 getting into trouble with the damn
 fools over here who think they can l change the result?
 In other parts of his letter O'Leary
 dcnounces Attorney General Gregory,
 Mayor Mitchell, and vents his wrath on these German Americans, mentioning i by name Herman A. Metz who have made it known that now that the i United States is at war, they are with i the Government to the finish. The
 men who voted in congress to back the 1 President when he called for declar-
 ation of war against Germany O'Leary
 brands as individuals who will some
 day "be cursed in heaven and on
 earth before God and man"
 In his deposition filed with the Dis
 trict Court Postmaster General Burle-
 son recites that Bull obtained second
 class mail privileges on May 31 of last
 year. and that these privileges were
 revoked on Aug. 6 of this year. under
 the provisions of the recently enacted
 espionage law.
New Britain herald., 1917-09-21

privileges had been extended to the Germany embassy in the transmission of messages, but only after their con- tents had been known.
 No, this was not one that passed through this governments channels of communication, was the smiling reply of an official at the state depart ment when it was suggested that Am bassador Bernstorff might have added to his duplicity the irony of using the United States as a transmitter of the message.
