The Sweaters Are Appreciated.

AS has been stated in these columns,
the members of Pack Horse Ford Chapter
OF the ID. A. R., OF ShepherdStown, sent
sweaters to number of the soldiers from
this place, and that they are appreciated
is shown by the letters which we publish
below.
Lieutenant H B Remnant, who is at
Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. writes
as follows:
Nv Dear Mrs. Gibson-Please accept my
thanks for the fine sweater that has been
sent me by the Pack Horse Ford Chapter OF
the d. A. r. Most surely it will be the
means OF much comfort to me and Will be
doubly appreciated, coming from my home
Chapter. We all have tondness tor those
things that come from home, and from inc
home folks and OF course they are the more
thought OF because OF this fact. 1t has come
to my attention often that practically
every organization composed OF women Is
giving OF its time and resources to help win
the war, and the war would be much short
er indeed If the same could be SAID OF the
men and their organizations. That sweater
sent to me will 60 into some battle, perhaps,
and | would remind you that the attn In;
fantry is one OF the few that has existed
prior TO and since the Revolutionary War.
So the very thing that you women are per
petuatng is now responsible tor making
the men comfortable in an organization that
was wonderfully successful during the bat
tles-the famous oneS-of that great and glo-
closely connected with one another. Please
assure all the good ladies OF the d. A X
that ! fully appreciate their efforts, and
the same view is shared by all the men IN
the service and that your work is second
only to being on the firing line. With SIN
cere best wishes TO you and the organization
that you so ably represent, | am,

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 inflamed condition of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have 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 inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Medicine. Circulars free. All Drug

War Is More Than Conflict
Between Nations Prussian
Born Speaker Says at Rally

Garry on; and hold up your
ideals!"
This was the message brought to
harrisburg last night by DR.. Max
mllllan +. E. GrosZman, representa-.
tive of the Committee of Public In
formation. addressing a national pa.
trlotlc meeting in Zion Lutheran
church. Although he was born in
Prussia, DR.. Groszman did not hesi.
tate to express his antipathy to pres.
ent German and Austrian ideals
Running through his entire address
was a thread of optimistic thought
Tor the time after the war. This
war is not merely a strife of ma
tions," he declared. "It is a God.
given opportunity for men to purge
themselves. There are political ideals
at stake, but there are spiritual
Ideals at stake as we'll! The war
means just this to you new and
wonderful opportunity for sacrifice
Tor giving, for being truly religious -
Hlgh praise was given by the
speaker to President Wilson for his
stand in upholding the rights OF
loyal German-American citizens. He
thanked in behalf of the German
born citizens of the country, the
President for his efforts.
IIlS country is going through a
period of regeneration" he declared
enthusiastically. I'VE are gradually
casting off the fetters of material
ism and of superficialism. Think
back few years. How many of us
thought the deep thoughts? This was
world of material progress!'
Things are changing now. We are
willing to make sacrifices We realize
that life is made for other things
than mere joy. We are living in a
time that uplifts because it touches
us way down in our hearts. 1t is
joy to live in these times"
The meeting was opened with an
organ prelude. Hymns of the allied
nations were played by the organist
Victor Hausknecht, a violin soloist
played Mascagni's "Intermezzo, ="
from ."Cavalleria Rusticana" and
Sanger's Scotch Pastorale." Kip

setting of DeKoven by a chorus un-
der the direction of Mrs. e. ]. Dece-
