SWAT THE "GROUSER,"
HE is EVER PRESENT

Tommy Atkins, Esq, hero of a thou
sand wonderful events on the battle
fronts of the allied armies, is creative
in his stolidity. Since 1914 he has Gre
ated many things which have held the
world safe for liberty. One of the
lesser creations of Tommy is the term
"grOusing." A "grouser" is the chap
that is ever kicking and railing and
questioning and complaining. But his
type has been pretty well stamped out
in the British fighting lines. Tommy
Atkins Esq, has things too important
TO attend to to be interfered with by
the "grOuser." Therefore he put the
drastic ban on him, and the aforesaid
"grouser" is mostly only a memory
over there"
Here in American we still have the
"grouser" with us. In our good
natured, easy-going life we have per-
mitted the "grouser" to play the little
busy-bee role day in and day out since
war was declared against Prussia
Here he has been unable to do any
thing else but, mosquitO-like, to an

sect irritates-he doesn't vitality in
jure. But nevertheless, it is time that
it were swatted. 1t is an insidious
form of unfaithfulness to the Ameri-
can people 1t, to an extent, inter-
feres with the unity of the American
people to the war cause of the nation.
1t is just prevalent enough to create
doubt. fear and indecision in the
minds of those unable to grasp the
meaning of the titanic clash across the
seas. The American people are pa

kick that far transcends the virtues
inherent in the kick of Maud. that
mule of the cartoonist's fancy, whose
deeds are familiar to the American
reading public.
If you trail crosses that of "grou-
ser" treat him with that sort of dis
patch which Tommy Atkins, Esq, used
in exunguishing him in the battle
trenches Swat him. Uncle Sam is
too busy with big things these days to
be peStered by grousing.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh which is
an infamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh, Medicine
acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
