When the Americans first came 70

the heads of some and they started
TO spreading the line that we were
the deliverers of France. Well
maybe that's SO in a measure but
it doesn't do any good to tell them
about it all the time-and then
to do so little. l just found a late
copy of Golfers at the Y. and it had
splendid article in it about our
blindfolded CensOrs-and some OF
the stuff it said was about as near

could say about the way England

longer we stay out of it the rOugher
Shedding we're going to have when
we do find that its not case of
our choosing. It's time the people
in America got back of the fellows

there's too much "sOb-stuff" and
not enough do. The boys are

France has lost most of her en-

the Yanks never were any too pop

1t is really strange how France is
devided into two classes and how
distinct the dividing line is There

To Relieve Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness
 And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
 deafness or who are growing hard of
 hearing and have head noises will be
 glad to know that this distressing af-
 diction can usually be successfully treated at home by an internal medi- cine that in many instances has effect
 ed complete relief after other treat
 mentS have failed. Sufferers who
 could scarcely hear have had their hearing restored to such an extent that the tick of watch was plainly audi ble seven or eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know of someone who is troubled with head
 noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out this formula and hand it to them. and you may have been the means oh saw ing some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as | follows:
 Secure from your druggist 1 oz. Par mine Double Strength1 Take this home and add to it A pint of hot water and little granulated sugar l stir until dissolved Take one table l spoonful four times day
 Parmint is used in this way not only l to reduce by tonic action the innam | nation and swelling in the Eustachfan | Tubes, and thus to eQualize the air pressure sn the drum. but to correct l any excess of secretiens in the middle | ear, and the results it gives are nearly | always quick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrh In any
 form. or distressing. rdnbling, hissine | sounds in their ears. should give this l recipe a trial.
