Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
 Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased port ion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness Is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

BULGARIA COURTING ALLIES
Balkan Nation Diekering for Territory,
Diplomats In Washington Hear
Germany Fears Development.

Washington, Oct. "a. - Germany's
new Russian smashes mean chiefly
that she is trying to gain a separate
Russian peace, while at the same time
trying to cheer the tagging spirits
OF her own people and her allies. That
was the view today OF Secretary Of
War Baker and other high officials.
That Germany fears western devel-
opments is proved by the fact that
she is now seeking some sort of arm
istice in the Balkans in order to free
more troops for the west and Italian
fronts.
Meantime Bulgaria is playing a dou-
BILE game with her ally, threatening a
separate peace in order TO get what
Bulgaria wants Of military support
and coveted territory. Diplomats here
say the Bulgars are repeating their
pre-war dickering with both sides ito
raise the ante Actually there is lit.
tie prospect Of a separate peace at
the moment. officials say
They agreed with Premier Lloyd
Georges statement that only a lasting
peace should be accomplished.

ARREST TWO FOR IRISH PLOTS
Sim Fein Leader and a German Baron
Taken Into Custody in New
York City.

New York, Oct. 24.-Liam Mellowes,
one of the recognized leaders in the
Sim Fem rebellion in ireland on
Caster Monday, 1916, and an associate.
Baron DR.. Max Won Reicklinghausen.
a German subject, are under arrest in
this city, it was announced today BY
William j. Flynn, chief Of the United
States secret service. The arrests
were made on the eve Of an announce
ment by Premier Lloyd George in the
House of Commons that the British
government had knowledge of another
plot to land arms in Ireland.
Mellowes is charged with obtaining
false papers to enable him to leave
the United States as an American
seaman.
Won Recklinghausen, styled by
Flynn as a patent engineer of no lit
tie ability" has been turned over to
the federal authorities for internment
during the war. He is declared to
have been an intimate associate Of
Sim Feiners. A statement issued by
Flynn said papers found in Won Reck-
l%inghausen's rooms and on his person,
show definitely that large sums of
money had gone forward to France for
ultimate German purposes.
Mellowes was arrested Monday
night in possession of a seaman's pass
port made out in the name of Pat,
rick D%onnelly."
After the failure Of the Irish revolu-
ton last year, Mellowes made his way
to the United States by shipping as a
coal HEAVIER, according to Flynn's state
ment. Secret service agents had him
under surveillance shortly after his
arrival and learned of his association
with DR., Patrick McCarton, known to
his Sim Fein associates in this coun-
try as the first ambassador to the
United States of the Irish republic"
the statement said. They plotted to
return to Ireland, and McCarton
shipped on an American steamship
eaving New York last Wednesday
On advices from New York secret SER
ice men, McCarton was arrested at
Halifax and now is being held there
ending prosecution for his completely
in the Dublin riots and his activities
n this country since early last year,
according to Flynn.
