BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON
SRAYS AND IN
HALERS.

There is no use permitting your
self to be deceived. Perhaps. like
thousands of others afflicted with
Catarrh. you are about ready to be-
lieve that the disease is incurable,
and that you are doomed to spend
the remainder of your days hawk
ing and splitting. with no relief in
sight from inAamed and stopped-up
air passages that make the days
miserable and the nights sleepless.
Of course this all depends upon
whether or not you are willing to
continue the old-time. makeshift
methods of treatment that you and
many other sufferers have used for
years with no substantial results.
If you are still content to depend
upon the use of sprays. douches,
inhalers. jellies and other like rem
edies by themselves. that are ap-
piled to the surface and cannot
reach below it, then make up your
mind now that your Catarrh will re-
main a life companion and will fol-
low you to the grave.
You must realize that the disease
itself. and not its symptoms, is
what you have to cure. OF course
you know that when you are cured
of any disease its symptoms will
disappear. Catarrh manifests itself
by inflammation of the delicate
membranes of the nose and air

b. DAMON RUNYoN,

Amid the Ruins Of Rheims, Oct. o.
Inside the shrapnel-bitten walls of
the historical old cathedral Of Rheims
today, several souvenir hunters were
already plying around among the de-
bris. seeking bits Of sapphirs-like blue
glass from the famous north window.
Outside, the battered streets echoed
10 the clump Of marching feet and the
Grind Of wheels as French infantry
and artillery rolled steadily forward
IN the wake Of the retreating Ger
mans.
A Barroom Tragedy.
Months ago. when Rheims was still
occupied by civilians, same convivial
soul apparently ordered up a round
Of drinks in a little corner barroom

A German shell came along and

once housed magnificent stores are

dust from the stone with which
Rheims was built. centuries ago.
Up to a few months ago the town

RUBIN EXTRACTION

Convict Must Complete Unexpired
District Prison Term.

Ben Rubin must answer charges
preferred against him in Washington
before he will be sent to Fairfax 20
stand trial for the muruer of little
Eva Roy. local police officers declare.
Fairfax officers came to the city
yesterday morning to get Rubin, but
his eXtradition was refused.
District authorities say that Rubin
must complete a three-year term he
was serving at the time Of his recent
escape from the Lorton Reformatory,
and that he will then be held to an
swer several charges OF burglary. 1t
is not believed Rubin will be returned
to Lorton to finish out his unexpired
term. 1t is probable that he will be
sent to the Federal prison at Fort
Leavenworth, Kans.
Rubin may be taken to Fairfax for
several days during the trial of Lou
Hall, charged with the murder of
Miss Roy. local police officers said
last night. This will depend entirely
upon the Fairfax County authorities
1t is thought they may want to use
Rubin as a witness for the common
wealth.

Rheims was badly damaged early in

Torpedo Strikes the Mirlo
Amidships and Explodes
Cargo of Gasolene
Men Jump for Lives
Vessel Attacked by German
Submarine Only a Few
Miles From Shore

BEAUFORT, N. c.. Aug. 1.-THE
british tank steamship Miro was tor
pedoed by German submarine off Cape
Hatteras last night, and, according to
reports reaching here to-day. nine
members of her crew were drowned.
All the other members OF the Mirlo's
crew were saved by coast guards and
nave been brought safely to shore.
they said the torpedo struck the vessel
smldships and that soon afterward the
cargo OF gasolene exploded, setting fire
to the ship and compelling them TO
Jump for their lives.
AS the Mirlo was torpedoed onlv a
lew miles off shore, the crew from
Coast Guard Station No. 17S reached
the scene in short time and picked IN
the survivors. The surface of the sea
tor five miles around was covered with
burning gasolere.
1t is presumed the Mirlo sank. al
though reports received here did not
say so definitely.
