great many years doctors pronounced it g.

with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
qures constitutional treatment. Halls

English Poet Tells of Prowess

If there had been doubt in the minds
of any who heard Alfred Noyes, the
poet, last night tell of the hazardous

the mercy of those mad monsters of
the deep, that doubt was wholly dis
PEELED. And more, Cousin John was
hailed corking good sportsman, don't

In telling of John Bulls prowess
with steel net and trawler, Professor
Moves did not lead his hearers to be-
neve that the job of ridding the sea
of these Prussian devil-fish was an
easy one. 1t was the most difficult,
the most dangerous of undertakings,
he said. Once a man went down to
the sea in a trawler to catch subma-
rines he went to watery grave, us
far as the folks back home were con-
cerned.

But the impression he LETT was that

citement; and as for their preyinB on

was starved out, 1t was blooming rot.

auditorium to hear the noted English
poet. Tales of war were interspersed
with songs of spring and other lyric
gems.
Tells of Haunted Silence
Mr.. Noyes prefaced each poem with
interesting explanations. For instance,
before reciting oxford Revisited" he
told feelingly of the haunted silence of
Cambridge and Oxford with 80 many
of their sons fallen on the battlehelo
of France.
Perhaps the most interesting of the
poems read were those dealing witt

struggling so courageously against thu

were written last winter in England
before the poets journey to this coun
