We followed the procession into the large hall,
now where the people of Evian greet these home
comers and where, at long tables, they feed them.
Over the balcony hung the flags of the allies, with
the French and American closely intertwined. The
people were placed at the tables, numbly obeyng
the Red Cross nurses who fitted about assisting
them. They ate the food which was set before
them without word.

RARE COIN GIVEN TO MUSEUM
New York Institution Has Confederate
Half Dollar, Only Four of Which
Were Made.

The museum of the Numismatic So
ciety in New York has received a gift
Of probably its rarest coin. This is
the famous Confederate hafdollar, OF
which but four were made, and two
only are known to exist.
In the early days of the Civil war
the Confederates, when they took New
Orleans, seized all government prop
erty, which included the United States
mint. What coins there were on hand,
of course, were used. The silver bul-
lion was also minted into United States
coins with the dies then there. The

die was made for the reverse Of the

TO be used in conjunction with the new
die.
Four pieces only we're struck, prob
ably to submit to the high officials In
Richmond. No more pieces were ever
struck, as the supply of bullion had
run out, and during the life of the
no sufficient amount OF
bullion was ever obtained to strike
any silver coins.

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 Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

was Represent tative Jeanette Rankin,

who sat on the republican side; the
other was Miss Mae Offterdinger of
this city, who sat on the democratic
side. and who would like to sit in
Congress regularly.
The crowded galleries were much

side was the one thus honored.

eggs THOUGHT TO HAVE
REACHED HIGHEST PRICE
Prices Of Foodstuffs in Washington
Market Have Been Steady for
Past Week.

AS a general thing prices on food
stuffs in the Washington wholesale
market have been steady for the past
week. though eggs and some varieties
of poultry show higher prices than a
week ago. Tomatoes from Florida are
now coming on the market in good
quantities and are quoted at from So
to So crate. 1t will not be long be-
fore the market will be well supplied
with southern vegetables of all kinds.
but much lower prices are not looked
for until the homegrown stun begins
to come on the market in the spring.
Eggs today are quoted higher than
early in the week, but it is not be-
lieved they will go much higher. The
dealers agree that present high prices
are due largely to the fact that cold
and bad weather has prevented the
shipping of eggs from the country.
Now that more moderate weather has
come, heavy shipments of eggs that
have been accommodating in the coun-
try for the past three weeks or longer
are looked for, and with the increased
receipts will come lowering prices. The
market was busy one this morning
and prices ranged about as follows:
