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 is
by constitutional remedy Catarrh-
al Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining Of
EuStachian Tube. When this tube
is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the inflamma-
ton can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition.

by catarrh, which is an inflamed

HOW DIPHTHERIA IS CON-
TRACTED

One often hears the expression,
MY child caught a severe cold
which developed into diphtheria,"
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic.
ularly susceptible to the wandering
diphtheria germ. If your child has
a cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of school
and keep him off the street until
fully recovered, as there is a hun
dred times more danger of his TAX
ing diphtheria when he has a cold.
When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is given it quickly cures the cold
and lessons the danger of diphtheria
or any other germ disease being
contracted.

HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, nI.-Hot weather upseta
the strongest stomach and causes seri-
GUS trouble for the weak ones, so word
is now going out to thousands Of
eatonic users that they should, dur
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatOnIe tablet
about half an hour before meals, az
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. EatOnic acts quickly; it win
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because IL
takes up the excess acids, poisons ana
gases and carries them out Of the
body and, Of course, when the cause
Of the trouble is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
a bit Of candy, and is recommended to
all as a safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

Again it is reasonable to suppose that
he was croaked by John Cavendish,
who wanted to destroy the will so that
he could claim the estate.
"The dead man is buried, and John
starts spending money like water.
One month later he receives a letter
asking him.tO cali at Bnright's office.
what happened there is probably
this: Young Cavendish was informed
of the existence of the will, and it was
offered to him at a price which he
couldn't refuse to pay-just then.
Perhaps he was frightened into
signing a promise to pay as soon as
he came into the estate-tricked by
Enright. John Cavendish may be in
nocent, or he may be guilty, but one
thing is certain-he's being badgered
to death by two people, from what
little we know. One of them is the
La Rue woman; the other is Enright."
Farriss sat rejecting deeply, chew

How lWalIop" oriainated.

An incident of interest in English
and French history occurred in the
year 1914. The French fleet ravaged
the coast of Sussex and burned
Brighthelstone. now Brighton, where
upon Sir John Wallow. one OF the best
naval commanders Of his time, was
sent by Henry VIII to make reprisals.
In this he succeeded only too well; he
burned p French villages, demolished
several harbors, and thrashed the en-
envy to his hearts content. His men,
however, proud of his achievement de-
clared that they had walloped the
French. Thus there came into the
English language as a synonym for
thrash the new word wsllop.

CHATTER III.
on the Track of a Crime.


In the city room of the Star, Farriss,
the city editor, sat back in his swivel
chair smoking a farewell pipe pre-
paratory to going home. His thoughts
were suddenly interrupted by a clatter
of footsteps, and, slapping his feet to
the floor, he turned to confront Willis
and Miss Donovan.
Miss Donovan smiled at him. "Great
luck We've got something; and we
dug all week to get it,"
''Well, for Pete's sake, shoot I" de-
manded Farriss. "Cavendish, sup
poser"
The two nodded. Their eyes were
alight with enthusiasm.
'In the first place" said the girl,
with grave emphasis, "Frederick

Immediately after Frederick's de-

O'Brien Hits
High Spots In
"The Figurehead"

Nov is the time for all good men
to.come to the aid of their party"
That good old phrase has been
pounded out on many typewriter,
but it hits the right spot in these
days when political campaigns are
beginning to siZzle-for they really
will sizzle this year. With politics
brewing as they are, it was a master
stroke on the part of Manager George
Appleby to secure for presentation
at the Colonial theatre today The
Figurehead." a ripping Selznick pic
ture in which the increasingly pop
ular Eugene O'Brien is the star. The
famous actor again demonstrates
that he can make love, but he also
shows he can play the political game.
He has been an idle man about town
until the nomination as Mayor is
thrust upon him so that he may run
against a saloon keeper.
What young Sherry Bows Gu
gene O'Brien) does not know is that
his opponent picked him as figure
head" candidate who could be easily
beaten, and forced his nomination
upon the opposing party leaders,
who in reality took orders from the
saloon and dance-hall man.
Sherry regarded the entire affair
as a lark, anyway, but fired by
love which lifts him out of his in
difference, he conducts a remark
able campaign which gives the bosses
some sleepless nights. They resort
to all sorts of political strategem to
get him to withdraw from the race,
and when he remains obdurate. they
try to frame up" a scandal which
will make it impossible for him to
continue the campaign.
The erstwhile idler now shows
some of the great qualities that have
heretofore been latent in him. In a
brutal, elemental fight. stripped of
all the veneer covering, avarice and
intrigue, he hits out manfashion
and carries the day.
Four hundred actors we're used in
the filming of this spectacular pic
ture. A splendid supporting cast in
cludes Anna Q. Nilsson, Ara Carewe,
Edwin Stevens. Joseph Girard, Fran
ces Parks, and Kate Price. Robert
Ellis directed the production.

are a two-reel comedy and the ever
