PLAY AT BEING AMERICANS
French Street urchins Take Delight
In Initiating Yankee Military Po-
lice Activities.

Somewhere in France.-There are
few cities in France that do not have
American NJ. P.'s. The Yankee patrol,
with his club dangling from his wrist
and the red badge of authority on his
arm has become almost as regular q
thing as the donkey carts and ca
thedrals.
The French street urchins, who are
very proud of the Americans, may be
seen at play initiating the military po-
lice.
Armed with baton and an M. p"
insignia attached to the arm they lord
1t over the other children of the ''rue,"
establish fantastical restricted dis
tricts," and arrest other youths who
are playing they are "zig-zag"-the
universal French expression for intox-
ication.

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 IL. by constitutional remedy
Catarrhal deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition OF the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. y hen this tube is infiamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect caring,
and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re.
duced and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases OF deafness are caused by cats -rh,
which is an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous surfaces of
the system.
We will give one hundred dollars for auy
casa Of catarrhal deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Circulars
