CURE FOR DYSENTERY.

while / was in Ashland, Kansas,
gentleman overheard me speaking
of Chamberlain's Collie and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes William Whitelaw,
of Des Moines, Iowa. HE told me
in detail of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his
daughter who was lying at the point
of death with a violent attack of
dysentery, and had been given up by
the family physician. Some of his
neighbors advised him to give Cham
berlain's Collie and Diarrhoea REM
edy, which he did, and fully believes
that by doing so saved the life of his
child. He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equal
ly gratifying results"

means, if it means anything, that the
American people must be prepared to
give their all, if need be. Perhaps
the time will come when evey indi-

to content himself with the barest
necessaries of life, and surrender
everything he possesses to aid his
government. J

Potash From Cement Dust.

Extraction of potash from dust is
claimed as a possibility. James d.
Rhodes, a Pittsburgh manufacturer,
claims to have made the discovery,
and at his own expense has arranged
to erect large experimental plant ad-
joining the plant Of a cement company
at Castalia, O., for the purpose of ex-
perimenting for 120 days. as
The Castalia plant Is in the hands OF
q receiver and it was necessary to
get permission Of the United States
district court before Mr.. Rhodes could
enter into any agreement with the re-
ceiver. This was granted.
Mr.. Rhodes said he could extract
large quantities Of potash for fertilizer
from the dust and waste Of cement
mills that will be of great benefit to
the country in increasing the supply.
1t is understood that the United
States government is watching the ex-
pertinent with interest.

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 ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is infiamed you have a rumpllng
sound or imperfect hearing, ana
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the infiamma-
ton can be reduced and this TUBE re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh. which is an infiamed CONDITION
of the mucous surfaces. Hairs "a
tarrh Medicine acts through the
blood on the mucous surfaces OF the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal DEAFNESS
that cannot be cured by Halls ca,

LEXINGTON BOY KILLED BY DIS.
CENDING ELEVATOR.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. l.
John Edwin Richardson, Is years
old, employed in the bottling depart
ment of the Phoenix hotel, was in
stantly killed when struck by a de-
scending passenger elevator about 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
At the time the accident occurred
young Richardson was helping an
electrician, Frank Sweeney, oil the
eastern elevator. The car had been
stopped at the third floor and the men
were at work on top of the cage.
Sweeney was working with his back
turned to Richardson and did not see
the accident. From the position of
the body and owing to the fact that
the western car, the one which struck
him, had to be elevated several feet
in order to release his arm, it is be-
lieved by those acquainted with the
circumstance that Richardson was
leaning upon one of the steel girders
which traverse the shaft between the
passageway of the east and west ele-
Vators, and his attention being center
ed on something below failed to note
the approaching car.
Katie Phelps, one of the negro
girls employed as operators on the
the elevators at the hotel, was in
charge of the car which struck the
young man. Feeling the shock of
the blow she stopped the car at once.
Sweeney discovered the accident at
the same moment and summoned as
sistance. The body was removed and
taken to an undertaking establish
ment.
Young Richardson lived at 1862
South Mill Street, is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Richardson
and a younger brother, George Rich.
ardson. His father has been dead fol
some time and he supported his
mother and brother.
The management of the hotel and
his associates at work spoke of him
in the highest terms. He had beer
in the employment of the company
for about a year and a half.

been established where worn and torn

pressed and returned to the owners.
Army shoes which have been worn
by many marches over the desert
sands near the fort are half-soled by
machinery, ripped places stitched, new
laces inserted and the shoes sent back
for further wear. Not scrap of
leather is permitted to be wasted by

Dous on the Battlefield.

Experiments made In the training
of dogs as messengers with the ar
mics in the field have, it is stated,
given satisfactory results. The dogs
which have proved most receptive
under instruction are chiefly half
bred collies and retrievers. A rather
poor breed of bob-tailed sheep dogs
has also done well. All have been
trained to perform their errands
during heavy firing, both rifles and
guns. They can be fired over as
easily as the ordinary sporting dog,
and, what is quite another thing, they
will face fire at close range. Many
have shown amazing skill in getting
over, under and through all sorts OF
obstacles, including wire.

MONEY FURNISHES THE PUNCH.

after all, money forms the sinews
of war;" declared General Foch sew
eral months ago in discussing the
situation and outlook along the
Flanders front when things looked
darkest. His army was fighting tooth
and nail then, hitting hard and step
ping back, parrying a thrust and
darting in to deliver counter
punch, and all the while taking
heavy toll of the Germans. But he
was looking ahead even then.
He knew, as we'll as other great
generals that preceded him, that af-
ter all is said and done, money, which
in this sense means the supplies that
money can be made to furnish gives
an army it's punch. That money is alb
solutely, imperatively necessary to
win any big, long-drawn-out war.
Without money-the things money
will buy-any army will go to pieces
sooner or later. 1t has been eXem-
plifed over and over again. a
An army may be ever SO well
trained; its morale at the outset may
be ever so good; it may have the ad-
vantage of position and weapons of
warfare, but unless it is kept sup
piled with all that is necessary for
the waging of war, the actual fight
ing even to the hand-to-hand strug-
gle, it will weaken sooner or later.
1t must have arms, ammunition, food
and clothing sufficient to make it eff
fective, and have them all the time.
No army fights we'll on an empty
stomach if the fight is much pro-
llonged. No army can withstand
continued attack if it lacks ammuni
ton. No army can stand winter
trench service inadequately clothed
It may meet with reverses and yet
come back and fight valiantly. The
italians did this. The French did it
The English did it. Frequently g
temporary reverse spurs to greater
effort, greater gallantry, greater ex
ecution.
But this doesn't apply to an arm!
that has lost its punch. Witness the
Russians.

They have held up their end val
iantly. They are making good to tn

RAILROADS CAN'T GIVE RATES
FOR CHARITY,

The railroads have received orders
not to make any more reduced rates
to charitable organizations or to
State, city or county governments.
This also covers the free transporta-
ton sometimes given in the past to
Sisters of Charity and the like.
This practice if allowed to one per-
son would have to be given to all,
greatly reducing the revenue of the
government. Owing to the fact that
the government is in great need of
revenue at this time all free passage
or reduced rates on both the passen-
ger or freight lines have been dis
continued.

man camp as prisoners of war. After Finland was recognized as an inde- pendent nation Germany sends it's troops into it's territory under the claim Of giving t support against the bolshevik. troops and there they pro $: ceed to make prisoners and take them to Gerfnany That Finland should protest and secure the release of these men gives no Assurance that its will take any such steps or that if 1t did that it would get any attention from the imperial German government. And yet Germany is fully aware of the fact that this and other countries have repeatedly furnished safe conduct for
 it's diplomatic representatives not only on the high seas but through their countries.
 But it is next to useless to expect that Germany would give any consid eration to that. It considers that such practice should be observed in every instance where it is for the benefit of Germany but nothing of the kind can take place when Germany is called upon to observe the laws. of nations.
