Catarrh Sufferers
Don't Know Sometimes They Have
 Catarrh. How to Tell

Many people suffer from catarrh and its effects without really Knowing it. They know they hawk and spit. that they have foul breath. poor appetite, the good things they love to eat don't taste the same, their sense of smell is falling and they don't hear as clearly as they used to-
 Generally all these are symptoms Of catarrh and may show that slowly but surely the general health is being un- dermined by this disgusting and an- moving catarrhal condition. Sprays, lotions salves and cream can give only slight temporary relief because they do not strike at the roots of the trouble.
 If you have catarrh, if you are all ways hawking and splitting. clearing the phlegm from the throat. have bug zing, roaring noises in the ears, no, ar petite, and have ' Gull, lstless feeling, due to catarrh, go to your druggist and get one ounce of parnlint double strength). Take it home and mix It with i4 pint of hot water and four ounces of ordinary granulatcd sugar, This will give You q full half pint of d pleasant and efficient preparation de- signed for use in catarrhal conditions and for coughs and colds This is an old English recipe and is uaed with good results in England; whete. owing ks very common.

FUQUA ACQUITTED
Jury Returns Verdict of Not Guilty
 in Crowded Court

'tNot guilty" was the verdict rendered by the jury trying the case ef W. H. Fuqua, who was charged with selling artifcially colored milk and cream by Inspector J. c. James. The case was tried in the recorders court during the latter part of July, resulting in con- viction. The case, however, was ap- healed to a higher court and, after an aIl-day hearing before Judge H. F. Hef- lin's division of the criminal court yes terday the decision was reversed. The defendant, w. H. Fuqua, based his fight on the point that when the milk was de- livered by him it was above require ments and that if samples taken were impure adulteration was made after he had delivered the milk.

ARTISTS TAKE VITAL PART
IN ACTIVITIES OF THE WAR

European painters and sculptors
are playing a most fascinating role
in the world conflict. Through their
efforts the art of 'camoufiage", as the
French call it, has been developed to
such a remarkable degree that it
now takes a highly important part
ir military operations. The word is
derived from the verb "camoufler,"
and, a S an idiom, means to make up,
disguise, or render unrecognizable.
Many of Frances younger artists be-
long to the Battalion de la Camouf1e"
and are literally the scenepainters
who fashion the sham stage-settings
and properties for the theater of war.
The work of these fellows, which
IL not without its dangers. is fully
described in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Often it is necessary for
them to ascend in aeroplanes and
study from aloft the effect of their
effcrts. At other times they have to
advance ahead of the first line under
cover of darkness and take measure
mepts that will enable them to make
a copy of some tree trunk or crum-
bled wall in NO Mans Land, armor
II and have it quickly substituted be-
fore dawn to serve as bullet-proof
shelter for observers. All of the ma
tions at war are practicing camou-
hage, but 50 far the French seem to
have the lead.

TRACTOR
STEPS RIGHT ALONG

In plowing and cultivating. a we'll
trained, intelligent team of horses
means much to farmer. Therefore
it is not surprising that many agri-
culturists are slow in accepting the
tractor. with its clumsy wheels and
grinding motor. for such work. For
these reluctant ruralists, however. n
new kind of machine has been in
vented. 1t is wheelless and comes as
near being a four-legged steel horse
as anything ever conceived outside
the realm of cartoondom. The in
seriousness of the contrivance makes
it humorous. 1t has feet and legs
as well as hips, knees and ankles. and
is designed to amble along as steady
as any sorrel team that ever pulled
a disk. The chief difference in the
arrangement of the pedal extremities
of the machine and those of a flesh
and-blood draft animal is that there
are no forward and hind legs. In
stead there are outside ad inside
ones, as the two pairs are mounted
on opposite sides, rather than ends
of a rectangular frame. A picturo
of this odd machine is a feature ot
the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
