WANTS CIVIL WAR
Pro- Leader of Ger
many Waves Red Flag.
Opposes Terrorism But De-
mands Union With Moscow.

Halle, Germany, Oct. 14.-Civil war
as the only means of establishing a
proletariat state in Germany, was adj
vocated last night at the German So
cialists' convention by Herr Daumig,
leader of the pro- Bolshevik wing of the
Independent Socialists.
Daumig declared in favor of an al
lance with soviet Russia. Herr Girls
pien, leader OF the conservative ele-
ment. while endorsing a dictatorship
of the proletariat, opposed terrorism
and spoke against submission to Mos
COW.
Crispien asserted Germany must de-
eide its own vital questions such as
starting another revolution.
Further discussion of a union with
Moscow was expected to come up to-
morrow when the chief speakers will
be the Russian delegate. NJ. Zinovieff,
and the French delegate. NJ. Longuet.
Evidence of a definite split in the
two factions was seen in the fact that
the right wing has engaged quarters
in Leipsig and is expected to move
there tomorrow or Friday for a
"rump" convention.

TELLS SAFE, SIMPLE WAY TO TREAT
AND RELIEVE AT HOME.

AND RELIEVE AT HOME.
If you have catarrh, catarrhal deafness
or head noises caused by catarrh, or If
phlegm drops in your throat and has
caused catarrh of the stomach or bowels
you will be glad to know that these dis
tressing symptoms may be entirely over
come In many instances by the following
treatment which you can easily prepare
in your own home at little cost. Secure
from your druggist ounce of Parmint
Double Strength. Take this home and
add to 1t Il pint of hot water and a little
granulated sugar; stir until dissolved.
Take one tablespoonful four times a day.
An improvement is sometimes noted after
the first days treatment. Breathing should
become easy. while the distressing head
noises, headaches, dullness. cloudy think
ing. etc, should gradually disappear under
the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of
smell. taste. defective hearing and mucus
dropping in the back of the throat are
other symptoms which suggest the presence
of catArrh and which may often be over
come by this efficaciOus treatment. 1t is
snid that nearly ninety per cent of all ear
troubles are caused by catarrh and there
must, therefore. be many people whose
hearing may be restored by this simple,
harmless, home treatment.-Advt.

We talk q great deal about the
differences between the sexes, and
we say that the reason that women
can never understand men. and why
women are a conundrum to men
taat they do not even ivy to guess.
Is because the two sexes l,ok at
everything from opposite stand
points.
To a certain extent this. Is true.
To the end Of time meng win be
men and women will be women. and
women will still be speculating
about why men do certain things
and hold certain opinions, and zen
will be wondering at the strange
way in which u woman's mind works
its wonders to perform.
But, as a matter of fact, this diff,
ference between the sexes Is mostly
a matter Of tradition and supersti-
tion, and not nearly so great as we
have been led to suppose. After all.
We are human beings first. and then
male or female afterwards, and II
we laid Il ore stress on this common
humanity and less on sex pecullari-
ties, IL would smooth out great
many of the difficulties that are
sources of perpetual friction ie-
tween raen and women, and MAKE.
greatly for peace and harmony.
AS an illustration of this, take
the matter of money which Is q
bone of contention in the majority
of households. II women could
voice their bitterest complaint
against matrimony it would be that
the wife Is an economic slave who
Is required to work for her board
and clothes without ever receiving
a penny as the reward of her labor.
Often she is given the most lavish
sums. She has jewels and fne
clothes and automobiles bestowed
upon her IL her husband is rich, but
the fiy In the ointment Is that these
things are GIVEN. They are looked
upon as gratuities for which she
should be properly grateful to her
husband.
A wife is never supposed to earn
penny by her work. no matter
IL she cooks, and washes. and sews,
and cleans. and sick nurses for her
family. and performs the services
of half a dozen high priced experts.
Even the census rates the woman
who works outside her home as a
laborer, while the housewife is put
down as following no gainfuI oc-
cupation.
The average wife never has any
money that she can spend as she
pleases. and without giving an ac-
count to her husband. If she has
