CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
MAJ BE OVERCOME

If you have Catarrhal Deafness
or head noises go to your drug
gist' or Wilkinson & Co, and get
l ounce OF Parmint double
strength, and add to it a pint
Of hot water and 4 ounces of
graduated sugar. Take l table
spoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick re-
lief from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy and
the mucous stop dropping into the
throat. 1t is easy to prepare, costs
little and is pleasant to take.
Any one who has Catarrhal Deaf
ness -or head noises should give
this prescription a trial.

What Was the objective?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The OBJ
jective of vast sums of German gold
flowing into the United States from
the Berlin foreign Office via the
Deutsches bank, New York, is being
sought by government agents here to-
day.
While all departments are silent on
what they may or may not have as
evidence of further German intriguing
international developments at the
time the money was coming into the
country are noted.
Early in March two big issues faced
the government-one in Mexico
where the bandit Villa was starting
his reign CT terror along the border;
the other a concerted effort In con-
gress to force a resolution warning
Americans off armed ships.

Greatest of All Drives.

Greatest of All Drives.
LONDON, Oct 4.-"British troops
have captured all detectives today on
a front of 10000 yards, reaching a
maximum depth of $500 yards de-
clared General Maurice, director of
operations, this afternoon. in disclos-
ing what appeared to be Field Mar
shall Haig's greatest of all drives.
"Broods is among the villages
taken today.
''In the nine months ending Sep
TENDER 80, General Maurice told the
United Press, "the British on the
west front captured SLABS men, 1872
heavy field guns, and lost 1906 men
and no guns.
''In all theatres of war the British
captured 72,51S men and 40 guns
and lost 1906 men and no guns"
General Maurice's statement indi-
Gates today's drive is perhaps the
greatest Of all the offensive blows
yet aimed at the German lines.
Sixteen thousand yards would
mean a battle front of more than
nine miles. A penetration of $500
yards would mean more than mile
gain into the German-held territory
by the British forces.
Broodseinde is about half mile
beyond Zonnebeke, almost In the
center of the great Ypres sector. 1t
lies slightly below the Ypres-Roulers
railroad, along which Haig has by
his three last offensive blows been
steadily advancing toward the main
German line of communications on
the Belgian coast.
Presumably, the nine mile front
runs almost along the line Of where
Haig last struck, approximately from
to the Confines canal
around Hollebeke.1

Washington, Aug. 9.-The govern
ment today moved toward the mobili-
cation of more than 200, 900 conscripts
within three weeks.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
issued regulations governing every
movement Of the selected men. They
have been chosen all over the nation
for military service, those enrolled
are now cogs in the army machine, as
much as If they were already at the
front, and all that remains for them
TO do is to follow orders.
Wholesale claims for exemption re-
ported from many sections, caused
Provost Marshal General Crowder to
telegraph the governors of the states
tonight directing local boards sreduce
discharges for dependency to a far
more restricted class and to very
necessitous and clearly defined cir
cumstances."
Today's rules cover every step OF
the mobilization. They take the man
up at the time he was definitely en-
rolled by the local boards, carry him
through the waiting period, tell him
what to do when the time for enter
tainment comes and finally sees him
through the train bound for the con-
centration camp. There army officers
take him in charge The regulations
will be followed by each local board
in carrying out its concluding work
on the draft.
The first mobilization call will go
forth September /. Local boards will
dt that time be called OH for one-third
of their quotas. Local boards then
will notify the proper men to hold
themselves ready to report for mill
tary duty.
The actual call for men will go in
each case from the provost marshal
general to the state adjutant general
stating the number of men TO be sup
piled at a specified time by the state
Each local board will be promptly in
formed of its proportion in the cal
and the adiutant general will fix the
date when men from his state shall
entrain for the camps.
Immediately the local board will
make out the list OF men to fill the
call from the roll Of accepted men
and it will also fix the place of en-
trainment and the exact time of de
| paTture.
Orders to the men will be posted
and will be sent them by mail The!

Addison County Clay.

The North Vermonter who would fain
The Equinox Hotel attain;
The South Vermonter, who, in turn,
Would see some Swanton powder
burn; oH 9 u
The East Side habitant who tries
To view Vergennes before he dies,
Are each and all compelled to share
The same intensive wear and tear,
And cross, to their extreme dismay,
The Addisonian wastes of clay.
Each time my fliverette goes through
New Haven on the double skew,
Each time my touring chariot skids
Amongst the Dunmore dogs and kids
Each time | stop to set tire
In Middlebury's classic mire,
| ask myself What in the Deuce
Can be the town or county use,
The ryme or reason, anyway,
For such monstrous mess of clay?
And answers two have come to hand
That absolute respect command:
The first one says These lofty hills
Which give your motor man the chills
These hills that make the soul recoil
The spark plug swoon, the water boi
Require to hold 'em where they blonl
An underpinning stiff and strong,
And nothing else will make 'em sta!
In place but Addisonian clay"
The other says THAT when the snov
Makes up its April mind to go,
When runners scrape and sleds Gu
through,
And girls get red and "fellers' blue
When Lincoln teams throw off thel
loads
And you'd be stuck on other roads
This pastey blueness acts like greas
And slides you on your way in peace
Your harness holds, your heart
gay
You're saved by Addisonian elay!"
These reasons sort Of disagree
But either one VIII do for me.
For when I'm told a thing is so
It's all ever want to know;
now can slip and skip and slue
Through Weybridge and throug
Waltham, too.
And long the heights of HancoC

In Bristol bump and Shoreham slun
And feel I'm favored all the way
In travelling over hrstclass clay.
