CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
AND HEAD NOISES

If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal deafness, head
noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this
formula and hand il to them and you
may have been the means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. In England scientists for a
long time past have recognized that
catarrh is constitutional disease
and necessarily requires constitu-
tional treatment
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness, or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is a con-
stitutional treatment and should
prove especially efflcacious to suffer-
ers here who live under more favor
able climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist l ounce
of Parmint double strength). Take
this home and add to it a pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table,
spoonful four times day. This will
often bring quick relief from distress
ing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should open. breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the inflamma-
tion in the eustachian tubes is reduced.
Parmint used in this way acts direct
ly upon the blood anl mucous sur
faces of the system and has a tonic
action that helps to obtain the de-
sired results. The preparation is easy
to make, costs little and is pleasant
to take. Every person who has ca
hearing should give this treatment
trial.

New York, Dec. ia reign of
Bolshevikism in the United States,

SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY
THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More
Lives Than American Loss
in Battle. Danger Not
Over. Great Care Nee
essary to Prevent
Further Outbreak.

The appalling ravages of Spanish
Influenza i'm this country are perhaps
best realized by the statement re-
Gently made, that more deaths have
resulted in little more than month
from this disease than through our
whole eighteen months participation
in the battles of the European War.
Our greatest danger now. declare
tendency to forget easily and to be-
lieve the peril is over. Competent
authorities claim the coming of cold
weather Is very apt to bring re-
turn of this disease and there should
be no let-up throughout the winter
months of the following easily OBJ
served precautions, remembering that
Influenza is far easier to prevent
than cure.
Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influ-
enZa germs spread wnen ignorant or
careless persons sneeZe or cough with
out using a handkerchief. Cover up
each cough or sneeze. Do not spit on
the floor, sidewalk, in street cars or
public places. Avoid the use of COM
mon drinking cups and roller towels
in public places. Breathe some reliable
germicidal and antiseptic air to de-
stroy the germs that do lind lodge
ment in your nose and throat.
Remember. no safer precaution
against Influenza could be employed
in this manner than to get from the
nearest drug store complete Hyomef
of the Pure oil of Hyomei
and little vest-pocket hard
rubber inhaling device. into which a
few drops of the oil are poured. You
should carry this Inhaler about with
you during the day and each half hour
or so put it in your mouth and draw
deep breaths of its pure, healing germ
killing air into the passages Of your
nose, throat and lungs.
BY destroying germs before they
actually begin work in your blood,
you may make yourself practically
immune to infection.
All these suggestions about Span
ish Influenza are equally true in the
prevention of colds. catarrh of nose
and throat, bronchitis and even pneu-
monia. Don't become careless. Do
your part. Keep the germs away.
You may save yourself a serious ILL
ness and the loss of several weeks
work. On sale by H. c. Kennedy.

months will give better results in
keeping the city clean.
During the present year ash col
lections are costing the city $40,-
900 and garbage collections $22 900,
since February 1, when the old con-
tract ended. Next year $4,000 will
be provided for the garbage removal
as a five-year contract was let for
that work. Provision for the ash
collections will be made as soon as
it is known how much will be needed.
Although members of City Council
say they are opposed to the contract
system for ash collections and do
not believe it will ever prove salts
factory, they claim that under eX
listing laws the city can not do the
work, but must let a contract.
Oppose Tax Boost
Some of the Commissioners have
openly declared they will oppose an
increase in the tax rate which last
year was raised from nine to ten
mills. The officials said that with
the increase in property assessments
this year totaing about $S,000,0 900,
there should be no need for an ad-
vance in the mill rate.
In addition to the usual mainte-
nance. and repair items which will
be included in the 1919 budget there
are a number of important improve
ment projects for which funds must
be provided. Prominent among these
IS the widening of North Third
street, from Wanut to North streets,
as part of the Capitol Park plans.
This will cost $4,000 it is estimated
and Commissioner Lynch said he will
include it in the highway department
budget.
Commissioner Hassler also will
ask for S13, 500 to pay for the water
mains in the Fourteenth ward which
will be purchased from the Dauphin
Consolidated Water Company. He
said he is planning to take over the
system about January l.
Whether any big salary increases
will be allowed none of the Commits
sioners has said. 1t is believed an
increase of S25 a month for all city
patrolmen may be asked. Should the
Commissioners decide to consider the
raise it woud add $22, 900 to the po-
lice department estimate. Taxpay-
ers all over the city are waiting to
see what action Council will take
Keister has decared he will not make
any Investigations in his department,
and prefer charges of incompetency
or neglect of duty because officers did
not close the many disorderly houses
which federal authorities were COM
PEELED to raid to protect soldiers sta
toned at big government plants near
the city. Other members of Council
aaid IL iS for fha MayOr IN OnaLa
charges against any of the patrolmen
he may think did not do their duty,
but the City's Chief Executive has
said he has none to bring against
any of the officers.
Commissioner Blrtnet will submit
to the other members during the ses-
sions planned for next week, esti-
mates of revenue which will be
available next year. Later in the
month an approximate estimate of
the cash balance which will be in the
treasury at the close of the present
year will be made.

COAL ENOUGH FOR
THE WHOLE CITY
IS NOW PROMISED
Local Dealers Have Fair Sup
ply of Anthracite on
Hand

Coal dealers in Harrisburg now
have a fair supply of prepared an
thracite of most sizes. according to
Paul Johnston. acting fuel commits
sioner for Dauphin county. and
householders were urged to-day to
take up with their dealers the
question of the delivery of the ball
ance of the two-thirds of their or
der. which is the amount allowed
them by the fuel administration.
1t was pointed out by the fuel
administration, that If the consumers
do not secure now their full two
thirds delivery. it may be difficult
to make all such deliveries in a sat-
weather comes.
Situation Improved
An evidence of the improved coal
situation was given yesterday when
for the first time probably since the
beginning of the war, a coal dealer
inserted an advertisement in the
newspapers offering to sell domestic
sizes of hard coal to such consumers
VINO were unaDIe TO purchase a sup
ply from their regular dealers.
Profiteering in coal, sold by the
small quantities, will be prevented
here this year, and dealers will
have no chance to duplicate the ac-
ton of some dealers who last year
charged as high as a dollar bushel
for coal sold in small quantities.
Ten dealers throughout the city
have been selected by the fuel ad-
ministration to sell coal in small lots
to householders who cannot pur-
chase large supplies. These dealers
it is said, deliver the coal, having
wagons stop from door to door
much after the manner of a grocer's
delivery wagon.
Scale of Prices
A regular scale of prices has been
worked out by the food administra-
ton, and no allowance is made for
delivery. The bushel as a measuring
medium is not recognized, but the
sales must be by weight Seventy
five, thirty-seven and a half, and
eighteen and three quarters pounds,
are the measuring amounts selected.
The prices are as follows:
Nut, 75 pounds. 55 cents; 81 1-2
