ALABAMA CAVALRY MAKES SPLENDID
 SHOWING ON PARADE
Montgomery People Given Opportunity of Seeing Wonderful Results of
 Training on Border

Montgomery, March 3l.-(Special) )-For the first time in the history of the na- tion a regiment of cavalry of the United States army organized in Alabama passed up Dexter avenue Saturday afternoon in view of a throng of people which gath cred on notice of less than "A hours It was the first cavalry regiment of the federalized National Guard, which was organized after President Wilson called out the state militia organizations last year, that passed through the city for the first time.
 Seven hundred horses furnished by the war department carried 700 cavalrymen from the mobilization camp to the city, up Commerce street to Court Square, and up Dexter avenue to the capitol. The regiment was in command of Col. Bibb Graves of Montgomery, who assumed command following the elevation of Col. R. E. Steiner to the brigadier general ship two weeks ago. The 700 cavalrymen did not show all the regiment, as 300 others were left behind, due to the fact that all horses have not arrived from the training station at San Antonio.
 So remarkable has been the training of the men that Montgomery was forced to comment Each enlisted man seemed to know what to do and even the horses behaved as if they had been in the serv- ice of the American army for years.
 Brigadier General Steiner issued an or der Saturday for the holding of guard mount exercises each afternoon at o'clock for the benefit of the public.
 Plans are being worked out whereby furloughs of five days will be granted to all enlisted men. Not more than 20 per cent of any company will be away at any one time. General Steiner and other officers believe the visit of the men to their homes will increase recruiting.
 REGIMENT OF ENGINEERS
 Announcement was made tonight that M. C. Stokes of Montgomery and promi- nent engineers will request Governor Hen- derson to obtain permission from the war department for the imm mediate organiZa- tion of complete regiment of engineers. A regiment consists of six companies. each having one captain, two first lieutenants, one second lieutenant, nine sergeants, F corporals and minor officers and privates to the number of 104. Birmingham will be called upon to furnish many members of the regiment. Graduates and senior class men of the technical institutions will be urged to enter. Engineers classed as civil, highway. mining and electrical are interested in the movement.
 The navy recruiting station announced tonight that the navy department had called upon Alabama to furnish 800 re- cruits before April 20 for use in taking the places of blue jackets who will be used on merchant vessels. The navy de- partment said 3SO00 recruits are needed now. Chief Palmer of the division of navigation said he called upon this state to furnish it's quota because of the ef- forts put forward recently by Alabama military men.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffering
from catarrh and head noises. American
people would do well to consider the
method employed by the English to COM
bat this insidious disease. Everyone knows
how damp the English climate is and how
dampness affects those suffering from ca
tarrh. In England they treat catarrhal
deafness and head noises rs Il constitution
nj disease and use an internal remedy for
it that is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear have
had their herring restored by this English
treatment to such an extent that the tick
of watch was plainly audible seven and
eight inches away from either ear
Therefore, if you know someone who is
troubled with cataarrh. catarrhal deafness
or head noises cut out this formula and
hand it to them .,nd you may have been
the means OF saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness. The pre-
scriptiOn can be easily prepared at home
for a few cents and is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain / o. of
Parmint Double Strength. Take this
home. and add to it Il 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 Inflammation
aud swelling in the Eustachian Tubes. and
thus to equalize the air pressure on the
drum, but to correct any excess Of secre-
tons in the middle ear. and the results
it gives are usually quick and effective
Every person who has catarrh in any
form should give this recipe a triaI=Ad-
vertisement.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THE R OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a nakeshift but is always adj
visable to use a preparation made for
shampoeing only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from
simple homemade canthroX mix
tire. You can use this at a cost of
about three cents a shampoo by get
ting some canthrox from your drug
gist, and dissolving a teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water. This makes enough
shampoo liquid to apply to all the
hair instead of just the. top of the
head, as with most preparations
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than it is Its lustre and softness will
also delight you.--Adv.
