ALLENTOWN GETS THANKS
Red Cross Supplies Received in France
When Badly Needed

Allentown, Pa, Dec. 13.-That the
supplies made by the Allentown Red
Cross are getting across the ocean to
the right place is indicated in a letter
received by Mrs. John Arthur FTick,
secretary of the local chapter, from
A. H. Gummere, superintendent of the
bureau of supplies of the American
Red Cross in Paris, under Director
Swan.
He expresses his thanks for the ar
rival of a box from Allentown which
contained a large number of hospital
shirts and pajamas, which he says
came at time when they were badly
needed. He says the supplies were
distributed to French hospitals which
needed them most. The Allentown
chapter last week made 575S surgical
dressings.

GERMANS IN MASSED
ATTACK ON BRITISH
Onslaught West Of Cambria
is Checked.

London, Dec. ia fierce mass at
tack was made by the Germans
against the elbow in the bend of the
British line between BullecouCt and
Queant (aboutsten miles west of Cam
braid, says thE Reuter- correspondent
at British headquarters in France.
Their intention was to overwhelm
their opponents by sheer weight Of
numbers.
Owing to the stanchness of the Brit
tish opposition, the attack only enabl-
ed the Germans to get footing in
about 500 yards of the British front
line, when the attack was arrested.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness. and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
intiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness IS the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of thet system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
