CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA.
TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAF
NESS AND HEAD NOISES.

If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand it to them
and you may have been the means of
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England sci
entists for long time past have rec
ognized that catarrh is constitution
al disease and necessarily requires
constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means tota deafness, or else the dis
ease may be driven down the air pas
sages towards the lungs which is
equally dangerous. The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp English climate is consti-
tutional treatment and should prove
especially effiicacious to sufferers
here who live under more favorable
climatic conditions.
Secure from your druggist ounce
of Parmint Double strength. Take
this home and add to it u pint of hot
water and a little graduated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times day. This will
often bring quick relief from distress
ing head noises. Clogged nostrils
should be open, breathing become
easy and hearing improve as the in
f1ammation in the eustachian tubes is
reduced. Parmint used in this way
acts directly upon the bold and mu-
cous surfaces of the system and has
a tonic action that helps to obtain the
desired results. The preparation is
easy to make, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Every person who has
catarrh or head noises or is hard of
hearing should give this treatment
trial.

WORSE THIS SPRING
Owing to Rundown Condition
Caused by the War.

Anxiety and worry have q bad ef-
feet on the nervous system, and de-
range the bodily functions, especially
digestion and excretion. Who es-
capped them during the war? They
have made nervousness, paleness,
lack of vitality worse this Spring.
The very best medicine to take now
is Peptron. 1t strengthens and tones
the nerves. 1t gives a good color to
the lips and cheeks. 1t is the great
Vitalizer, giving healthy activity to
all the vital organs.
This good medicine. which is a real
iron tonic, makes the blood rich in
red corpuscles, an abundance of
which is indispensable to perfect
health. 1t promptly relieves mental
and physical exhaustion, creates an
appetite, and promotes sweet, re-
freshing sleep. Peptiron is in the
form of chocolate coated tablets. and
is pleasant to take.

Back in the ages faint little spark
Burned through the clouds in land that was dark,
Seeking the light where Ngrands held sway,
Appointed by God for the rate of today
A fra little ship breasted the waves
Fleeing the land of downtrodden slaves;
Bearing the fire that is blazing today,
Libertys refuge best Fleur-de-Ma
That fire slowly smouldered and awakened will,
That pointed way on old Bunker Hill;
That fame that melted the firm lines of gray,
The boys of our country, the fire of today
Let us respond in Victory's hour,
In upholdng the right and Liberty's powers;
Till oppression is dead, lost in decay,
Or burned in the fire that is burning today.
Let us not slack though victory won,
Come and rejoicing no duty shun
Uphold the men who bled in the fray,
Subscribe for Liberty-do it today

AUTOMOBILE NEWS

fore the automobile became an estab- lished means of conveyance the medi- cal man made his daily visits by the horse and buggy route, which required no physical and little mental effort on his part.
 "The physician was one of the first to adopt the automobile because he appreciated the improved character of it's utility over the old method, and he not only benefited financially be- cause he could visit more patients in day, but he has improved physically and mentally" said George Verkamp, manager of the Babbitt Garage.
 Doctors have told me that the light efforts necessary to the proper driving of car at varying speeds, materially aid in the gradual devel- opment of muscles of the arms, chest and the abdomen. Naturally, the larger the car. the more violent is the exercise, for more effort is necessary at the steering wheel"

BATTERY AND TIRES
 NEED SIMILAR CARE

The tires that relieve your car from the shock of the road, and the storage battery that supplies current for lighting and starting are similar in several ways, according to J. J. Wald- haus,
 It is easy to see, according to Mir. Waldhaus that there is resemblance between the air held under pressure in the tire and the electricity held ready for service by the battery. In both the tire and battery you are de- pending on common, but invisible forces.
 Care required by both show the similarity. Tires may go miles with out any trouble and then suddenly fall apart. It is good until it blows; it can be repaired at small cost until that time; but then it becomes useless.
 These conditions are closely paral- leled in the storage battery with cleo tricity instead of air as the force to be held in check; and the insulation in place of the tire casing. When the battery is new the insulation is per feet, just as a new tire casing is free from flaws. As time goes on some slight weakness may develop. If you watch your battery these can be taken care of at very small cost and nc serious trouble will come up. No matter how perfect your tires or battery are it will pay we'll to keel your eye on them and stop the little troubles before they develop into big ones.

temher %, 1900. This will is not nearly so long
nor so involved as that Of General Washington.
1t was prObated in 1902 by George Washington
Parke Custis and Thomas Peter, two Of the eXecu-
tors. 1t was taken up with the disposition OF
household effects and provisions for the education
Of her relatives. Three granddaughters, four
nieces, her grandson, four nephews, a grandniece
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned. To them she gave paintings, town lots
and to nearly all of them she gave from hVe 10
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One Of the odd provisions was: ut is my will
and desire that Ann Mariah Washington, daughter
Of my niece, be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense Of my estate, and l be-
uueath TO her ten guineaS to buy q ring"
Another unusual order reads: 1T is my VIII
and desire that all of the wine in bottles in the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each of whom l
bequeath ten guineas to buy a ring for EACH
All of the family pictures, except n few spe-
officially mentioned, were left to George Washing
ton Parke GUSTS, and to him went a large collec-
ton Of household furnishings, including beds,
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education Of three neph-
ews, who were to be fitted in some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 pounds be given to each TO set him up in his
trade.
The belated return of these two famous doclI-
ments, so essentially personal and human in their
contents, to the little courthouse where they were
both filed for probate over a century ago has
made of Fairfax Court House another Mecca for
the histOry-loving tourist, and it is rapidly falling
into line after Mount Vernon and Alexandria In
point of popularity.

~OURNAI, the Oldest city in

TOURNAI, the Oldest city IN
Belgium, once the capital of
the Merovingian kings, is
truly a city Of romance,
whether W. think of the tomb of Chill
deric, the father of Clovis, with its
wonderful treasures, discovered after
being lost to sight for nearly 1920
years, or Of the poor, deluded youth,
Perkin Warbeck, the tool of the York
lists, and through them brought to al
lgnominious death, says q writer in
Sphere. For us In England perhaps
its primary interest centers In its be-
ing the birthplace of Perkin, whose
real name was Pierce Osbeck. This
strange impostor "a the son OF a
simple Flemish weaver Made a pup
pet of by some Of the Yorkist party, In
Guiding Margaret Of York, dowager
duchess Of Burgundy, to p%ersonate
Richard Duke of York, whom they de-
clared had not been murdered in the
Tower with his brother, but had es-
capped and been concealed, only await
ing an opportunity to declare his royal
birth, he succeeded for a time In eX-
citing a formidable revolt against the
king, Henry VII.
After many strange adventures and
much i'll success, in spite of the recog-
milton of his claims by the kings of
Scotland and France, Perkin, finding
himself insufficiently supported in his
sorry fraud and realizing that he 'had
not the heart of a king" but only 'the
heart of a weaver's son." made confess
sion Of his imposture and was i'm
prisoned in the Tower. Soon after, on
attempting to escape, he was hanged
at Tyburn, finishing with a rope round
his neck instead Of the promised crow
upon his head.
Tomb Of chiIderic.
An interest wholly different from
this passing futile deception, however
romantic some Of it's circumstances
may have been, attaches to Journal
when we think of 1t as the seat of the
M%erovingian kings. In 1853 some
workmen, whilst digging foundations
for a hospital, came upon a collection

The golden bees had been discovered
in considerable numbers, and were
thought to have decorated the royal
robes, and it is interesting to recall
that Napoleon, ever entering into the
spirit of historical display, chose this
decoration for his coronation robes.
Has Beautiful Buildings.
Journal claims to be the oldest OF
the cities Of Belgium, and is certainly
n Of the most interesting and o
picturesque. and contains a large num-
Der of beautiful buildings. There has
always been great sympathy between
the people of Journal and the French,
and much intercourse between the
town and Lille, just across the from
tier.
In the Grande place stands a statue
of the Princess d'Epinoy, who distin-
guished herself in the defense of
Journal against Alexandra Farnese in
1881. She fought in full armOr and
saved the town by her energy and
courage. The beautiful cathedral is
one Of the finest examples of the Ro-
manesque type Of architecture, and
challenges comparison with the splen-
did churches Of northern France.

CANNOT RANK AS DIPLOMAT
General SHUTS Disqualified Himself
BY His Unseemly Employment
Of Plain Language.

The language Of the law is the most
formal in the world and the most pre-
else. 1t seeks the definite so ardently
that, with its repetitions and where
ases, it confuses its own message and
only that rather perverted form of in
tellect, the legal mind, can wind
through it's labyrinthine verbiage. The
language of diplomacy, borrowing
something of formality from the law,
is nevertheless far more dignified. The
law deals merely with estates and pri-
vate contracts. 1t DEGREES the fate OF
the individual. But the fate Of ma
tons may hang on the phraseology of
diplomacy. It's greater Importance has
