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 constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous surfaces
OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med
icine. Circulars free. All Druggists.

THE past week has been a salts
factory one for the armies Of our
Allies in France. They are steadily
pressing the Huns toward the Kline
and are giving them no rest, day or
night. The Germans from time to time
stiffen their resistance and try to hold
I'D their pursuers, but General Foch
simply strikes them at another point
and so presses on. Our armies have
driven them back in places to the old
Hindenburg line, and most OF the ter
ritory won by the Germans the past
wear at terrible cost has now been
taken from them. Since July lst the
Allies have taken $4,000 German
prisoners and captured more than 1900
cannon, besides vast supplies and
stores of every sort.
The Germans are fighting desper7
ately, but they are on the defensive
and it is believed General Foch will
be able TO keep them on the run, as
American reinforcements are pouring
steadily across the seas.

passed the bill to register for military
service all men in the United States
between the ages of Is and As years,
there being but two votes against it in
the lower branch and none in the Senate.
There are some differences that will be
settled in conference committee, but
il is not anticipated that any serious
disagreement will delay final enact
ment Of the measure.
Under the bill it is estimated that
100000 men will be registered and
from this vast number il is expected
that in short time an additional army
OF 100000 men will be raised. The
administration has effectually convinced
Congress that it is necessary to throw
tremendous forces into the great war
in Europe, and though there are prob
ably very few persons, either in or out
of Congress who favor drafting men
rAder 10 years, the country bows to the
desires of the President and his advisers
and accepts the representations OF the
War Department that such course is
necessary.
that the bill will, with the certainty
that the bill will soon become a law.
the War Department is proceeding with
its plans for the great registration and
the details Of organization. Secretary
Baker stated that the regiStrants will
be divided into two classes. Those
Of the age of IS years will be put into
one class, and the second class will be
composed of men between 10 and As
For the purpose of facilitating the
classification of the new registrants, the
draft boards will be directed, Secretary
Baker states, 10 give his first attention
to the men between l9 and SO. The
order will go out for the reason that
the department believes the classical
ton processes can be carried out more
swiftly in the cases Of men of this age
than in the cases of those older than
80. Swiftness is one of the important
elements in the situation. 1t is neces-
sary for the War Department TO have
access to the new eligibles at the
earliest possible moment if the training
camps are to be kept filled. AS matters
now stand, Classl under the old 21-3l
law is practically used up. The new
2l-year old boys who registered last
Saturday have filled the ranks to some
extent, but there are not enough men
in the existing Class to meet all the
September calls. Already orders are
out for more than $4,000 men to reg
lister for service in September and al
most 100000 more are to be called to
fill the months quota. Because of the
shortages in available or effective"
as the War Department calls them, il
is the. purpose to begin calling men
from the new classes as soon after the
Presidents proclamation is issued as
may be possible. 1t need not be sur
prising if some Of the men who req
ister on the 7th or 18th Of September.
as the case may be, will find them
selves in camp before the end of the
month. '"S

SUNDAY JOY riding is to be sud
denly ended, by order of the United
States Fuel Administration. In a
statement sent out yesterday. it is
requested that from this time forward
no motor vehicle or gasoline boats
be operated upon Sunday except in
cases of actual necessity, such as calls
of physicians on professional duties,
ambulances, undertakers' equipment,
ETC., or necessary use of automobiles in
rural communities where no other
means of travel is available. If there
is general compliance with this request
no formal order will be issued. If
however, it is not regarded as it should
be, strict orders will be issued.
This action is taken in order to con-
serve the supply of gasoline, enormous
quantities of which are now being used
for war purposes both here and abroad

Military AgnosticS." You should have
heard the howl that went up from the
bunch around him. He sure made
stagger at what it meant anyway.
There is some talk that our COM

close to Paris, and | sure hope we do,
for il is sure monotonous where we are
now, and there is not much more to be
seen or learned around here. The only
objection is that we have gotten so
comfortably fixed that it seems like 60
ing away from home again. We have
been here over four months now, and
this part of the country is just as
familiar as home, and If we have to
move it means that We will have to go
through the building process again.
Captain Edwards says that we will keep
on fixing up the place anyhow, and that
the next bunch that gets our barracks
will at least know that they have fol-
lowed a real organization. The other
day the post surgeon made a sanitary
inspection and pronounced ours the
model place Of the camp. When he
started into the kitchen he stopped in
side the door and asked the cooks if it
would be necessary for him to take
off his shoes before he could come in
They let him in without that, though,
and treated him to piece of real
chocolate pie and cup Of lemonade,

after will be more numerous.
