For Catarrhal Deafness
 and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffer- ing from catarrh and head noises. Amer ican people would do well to consider the method employed by the English to one knows how damp the English eli mate is and how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a constitutional disease and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious.
 Sufferers who could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear.
 Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf ness or head noises, cut out this form ula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deaf ness. The prescription can be easily prepared at home for about 75c and is made as follows:
 From your druggist obtain 1 oz of Parmint Double Strength) about 75c worth Take this home and add to it X pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved Take a tablespoonful four times a dav
 Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflamma tion anL 1welling in the Eustachian sure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretion in the middle ear and the results it gives are usually re- markedly quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh in any form should give this recipe a trial.

San Antonio, Tex, February 19.-The general plan to be followed in sending all National Guard organizations home from the border for muster out in ac- cordance with war department instruc- tions, was announced today. The 50,0O0 troops to be moved have been divided into two contingents, each including ap- proxmately 2500O men, and units em- braced in the first contingent have been arranged in four groups.
 It is estimated that four weeks will be required for the movement of these four groups. It is expected to dispatch each group at an interval of one week. Then the home-going of troops in the second contingent will be commenced.
 Organizatio placed in the first group of the first contingent withdrawals will begin departing within the next few days, according to headquarters. The Fourth Illinois infantry at Camp Wilson proba- ply will inaugurate the movement by leaving for Fort Sheridan February 9.
 The first group included the following organizations:
 Third District of Columbia infantry Troop A, cavalry, and Battery A, field artillery; Second Florida infantry, First battalion Georgia field artillery, Second North Carolina infantry and brigade headquarters, Second Couth Carolina in- fantry.

 Third North Carolina infantry, ambu- lance company No. 1, field hospital No. 1

He read the decision of the su preme court in regard to his and Solic- itor Tate's authority and contended thai it was imperative that the board pay the salaries from the solicitors fund. Ht expressed surprise that the board hesl tated in the face of the ruling.
 The salaries of MT. Tate's assistants James Davis, J. r. Mccoy and Wallace McAdory, are fixed by law and there is no controversy about their right to draw their stipend, but it was suggested bS a member of the board that it would be manifestly wrong for two sets of as sistants to receive money from the coun ty treasury if the work of the crimlna court could be done by one set.

GERARD RECEIVED
 BY PO|NCARE OF
 FRENCH REPUBLIC

Paris, February 1s-Ambassador James w Gerard was received today at the Elyse palace by Presi- dent Poincare. He had already met Premier Briand and other notable men in Paris and desired in an unofficial capacity to pay his respects to the President before leaving the city. President Poincare manifested the greatest interest in the visit of the former ambassador at Berlin and in a half hours conversation covered many points.
 Mir Gerard today received addition al facts concerning Oscar Pflug, the former employe of the American em- bassy at Berlin, who is being detained at Pontarlier by the French authori- ties. Pflug had planned to come to Paris in the ambassadorial train, but missed it and arrived here subsequent ly. His replies to questions put to him at the frontier were considered unsat- isfactory and he was held pending luther investigations.
 Pflug's name does not appear in the public records of the American diplo- matic or consular employees, he having been engaged provisionally at Berlin during the rush of business. His case is being considered at Washington as well IS by the French government and it was said here today that he was not to be allowed to remain in France. It was added that information which MT. Gerard received today would aid both governments in determining the further procedure regarding Pflug.

TWO THOUSAND CITIES TO LEARN OF ALABAMA
 FROM MOTION PICTURE
Resources of the State Are Splendidly Shown in Production to Go All
 Over the Country

The story of Alabama and her re- sources will be told to people in 2000 cities and towns throughout the Uni ted States through the motion picture film, Alabama
 Every section of the state figures in this photoplay in which Henry Walthall. himself an Alabamian, takes a part. The mineral resources of the Birmingham district, the alfalfa and cotton lands of the black belt. the fine grain fields of northern Alabama, the orange groves and other products of the southern part of the state, and the fine live stock farms scattered all over Alabama are presented in a form which Is expected to bring won derful results to the state.
 This motion picture, which is to be shown for the last time in Birming- ham today at the Rialto, is being ex- hibited under the auspices of the Ala bama Chamber of Commerce and the funds derived from the box office re- ceipts go toward paying the expenses of its production and it's exhibition all over the country. That it will be the greatest advertiser of Alabama that could possibly be secured is the opin ion of expert publicity men all over the country who were consulted on the matter.
 While the play is designed primar- fly to advertise the state. the fact that Henry Walthall takes part and that some of the most prominent women of Alabama took leading roles in its pro- duction adds interest which enables the promoters to all the better secure the attention of the patrons of motion pictures throughout the country.
 It is estimated that several million people throughout the United States, especially in the west, northwest and the north, will almost unconsciously be acquainted with the resources of the state and the limitless possibilities here while they are enjoying mo- tion picture produced by one of the biggest companies in the country and in which Henry Walthall takes lead ing part.
 Emmett Jones. general manager of the Alabama Chamber of Commerce who was the moving spirit in the movement to have this picture play produced, is in Birmingham looking after it's presentation here.

BRITISH FIGHT
 FIERCE BATTLE
 WITH THE TURKS

New York, February 19.-The Asso : ciated Press sums up the war news from the various fronts as follows:
 On the Irak front in Asiatic Turkey the British and Turks have been en- gagged in hard fighting at Sannaiyat, about 12 miles northeast of Kut-el- Amara. In their onslaught the Brit ish captured front line Turkish posi- tions at two places, respectively on frontages of $50 and $40 yards.
 Their tenure of the positions was short lived. however. for the Turks in two heavy counter attacks forced the British right wing back upon its orig inal line. The left wing continued the struggle of attempting to hold back the Turks until near nightfall, when it also fell back, covered by the bar rage fire of the British guns.

shing would be given the command. although no official statement was to be had on the subject.
 General Scott was deeply affected by the news.
 General Funstons unassuming ways endeared him to all with whom he was associated" he said. "and his military efficiency earned the confidence of the war department. The Secretary of War recently sent him commendatory letter about his conduct of affairs on the border. while his service at San Francisco at the time of the earth quake and at Vera Cruz will not soon be forgotten. Personally. I feel the loss of a real friend"

Aside from this engagement no fighting of importance is reported in any of the latest official communica- tions. The operations on all fronts have again been carried out by small raiding parties, sappers and the artil- lery wings of the belligerent armies
 London reports that on the front in France the British carried out a successful raid east of Souchez while Berlin reports attempted BGtsh ad- vances southwest of Messines and east of Armenteires resulted in failure. The artillery duels between the French and Germans on several sectors of the Verdun front have again become quite severe
 On the line running from the Baltic sea to Rumania there have been no developments anywhere.
 The usual artillery actions and minor skirmishes continue in the Aus tro-Italian theatre and on the Mace- donian front.

detective department insist that Will Johnson, the negro arrested early Sun day morning by Detectives Moser and Brown as a suspect, is guilty, three as- saults and robberies have been commit ted since he was lodged in the city jail.
 Ben Bradley, 1906 North Sixth alley, was hit on the head and seriously wounded at Seventh alley and Sixteenth street, north about T:30 o'clock last night by the unidentified highwayman He was robbed. Bradley gave the police a fair description of the negro which fits that given by several other victims. He was carried to the HlIman hospital, where he is in a serious condition. It had not been ascertained last night whether or not he suffered a fractured skull. Only small amount of money was secured.
 Frank Wise, 2422 Tenth alley, south, was hit in the back of the head and perhaps fatally wounded about S:15 o'clock by an unknown party. The as- saut occurred at Twenty-fourth street and Avenue G. He was robbed. He suffered a bad fracture of the skull and ties at the hospital.
 Both the police and detective depart ments are puzzled. Detectives assert that the negro operating at present is a partner of Johnson, who is in jail, and that he will be arrested within a few days. Three deaths out of the II as- saults have resulted in the past month
 All the victims are hit in the back of the head with some blunt instrument and in most cases suffer fracture of the skull.
