Germans had such ship as the Mount

The loss thus averted would have been
a serious one, comparable to that Of

with being even more valuable than

fact that so few transports have been

them from a menace of all the most
difficult to avoid or detect.

Few Escape,

There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold during the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who have but one and get through
with it quickly and without any serious
consequences. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and observe the direc-
tions with each bottle, and you are
likely to be one of the fortunate ones
The worth and merit of this remedy
has been fully proven. There are
many families who have always used
it for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very bes,
results.

Gently, "are the people who are wait

THURSDAY, DECEMBER IL, 1918
Beer and sausage are German in

dispensables. Even though the alco-
holic content of the beer may be re-
duced to the vanishing point and the
sausage may be made Of horsemeat,
the German must have these two
things. But there are other things that
may be dispensed with. Tobacco, for
example, is not a necessity. The big
meerschaum must be stuffed with
something, but when you do not have
tobacco dried cherry leaves may do.
And the German who munches horse
sausages to the accompaniment Of
nonalcoholic beer may find certain
comfort in the aroma Of burning
cherry. If he were a more imagina-
tive mortal the consolation would be
greater. But how about clothes? Wool
is very scarce, but not as scarce as
leather. Something like crusade
against shoes is being preached. It
should be delightful, says the cru.
sader, to walk barefoot for the love
Of the fatherland. A few herren and
frauen have always set the style, and
bare toes are no novelty on Unter
den Linden, says Cleveland Plaindeal-
er. There may, indeed, be govern.
nent interdict against the wearing Of
shoes and stockings by civilians in
summer. The soldiers must be shod,
willy nilly, and going barefoot might
be q good cure for the corns Of patri.
otic Prussian ladies or the bunions
of workers in munition factories.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat Of the disease.
Catarrh is local disease, greatly in
fuenced by constitutional conditions,
and in order to cure it you must take
an internal remedy. Halls Catarrh
Medicine is taken internally and acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system. Halls Catarrh
Medicine was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for
years. It is composed Of some of the
best tonics known, combined with some
of the best blood purifiers. The per-
feet combination of the ingredients in
Halls Catarrh Medicine is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in ca
tarrhal conditions. Send for testi-

that shipyards are relatively safer to

effect of the general German propa-

object by bringing out the truth.

SVASSA44sSA4A4
Let others boast how strong they be,
Nor death nor danger fear;
But we'll confess, o Lord, to Thee,
What frail beings we are.
Fresh as the grass our bodies stand,
And flourish bright and gay;
A blasting wind sweep DER the land,
And fades the grass away.
Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while trouble
last,
And our eternal home!

CHAPTER Xxx.
Black Out.

The auditorium was In almost total
darkness. A single voice was audible
from the stage that confronted 1t like
some tremendous, moonlight canvas In
huge frame of furnished gold. They
stole silently round the. orchestra seats
to the stage-box-the same box that
Whitaker had on the former occasion
occupied In company with Max.
They succeeded in taking possession
without attracting attention, either
from the owners of that scanty scat
tering of shirt bosoms in the orchestra
the critical fraternity and those in
Inmates hidden by the manager to the
first glimpse of his new revelation in
stagecraft-or from those occupying
the stage.
The latter were but two. Evidently,
though the curtain had been up for
some minutes, the action of the piece
had not yet been permitted to begin
to unfold. Whitaker inferred that Max
had been dissatisfied with something
about the lighting of the scene. The
manager was standing In mid-stage,
staring up at the borders-a stout and
pompous figure. tenacious to every de-
tail Of that public self which he had
striven so successfully to make unfor-
gettably individual; a figure quantity
incongruous in his impeccable morn
ing coat and striped trousers and fiat
brlnmed silk hat, perched well back
on CHS head. with his malacca stick
and lemon-colored gloves and small
and excessively glossy patent-leather
shoes, posed against the counterfeit
of a moonlit formal garden.
