To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness, or who are growing hard Of hear
ing and have head noises will be glad to
know that this distressing affliction car
usually lie successfully treated at home
by an internal medicine that in many
instances has effected complete relief
after other treatments have failed. Suf-
ferers who could scarcely hear have had
their hearing restored to such an extent
that the tick of a watch was plainly andi-
BILE seven or eight inches away from either
ear. Therefore. if you know of someone
who is troubled with head noises or ca
tarrhal deafness, 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 The prescrip-
ton can be prepared at home and is made
as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 OF. Par
mint Double Strength.) Take this home
and add to it 4 pint of hot water and a
little graduated sugar; stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful four times
q day.
Parmint IS used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the Inflammation
and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and
thus to equalize the air pressure on the
drum, but to correct any excess Of secre-
tons in the middle ear, and the results
1t gives are nearly always quick and ef-
fectfye.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form, or distressing rumbling, Kissing
sounds in their ears, should give this recipe
trial.-Advertisement.

TWO AUTO THIEVES OVERSIGHT
Did Not Go Far Enough First and Now
Find Selves in Jail.

Ottawa, Kan, May 13.-By over
sleeping in the hotel of the country
town of Princeton, near here, two boys
who gave the names of Buck Sanders
and Bob Dettman, Philadelphia, face
a penitentiary sentence of five years
for automobile theft.
The two, according to their confes-
sion, attempted to steal a light car be-
longing to Carl Ashe, local insurance
man, while it was parked on Main
street Monday night. Ashe discovered
the men just as they were leaving.
Hailing~ R. w. Mitchell, who came
along in his car. they gave chase.
forcing the thieves to run the car into
a curb. The boys ran. but not before
the spotlight of the Mitchell car had
given the Ottawa boys a good look at
them.
Sanders and Dettman next morning
obtained rooms at the Princeton hotel,
going to sleep on two formida ble-look-
ing revolvers, and did not awaken until
IL o'clock that night, when Ottawa
officers, accompanied by Ashe and
Mitchell, rudely awakened them and
took them to Jail. They were bound
over to district court for sentence.

The engineer first sighted the

about five miles distant, the funnel

bound steamer they can get out of
that port.
Miss Peers has been with the Near
East Relief as general relief worker
at Aleppo, while her brother served
with the same organization as doc
tors assistant at Aintab. Both have
been in the Near East since February,
1919. and have been doing splendid
fering among the Armenians and
Syrians, caused by their long months
of warfare and privations. Turkish
activities in the region of Aintab have
made Mr.. Peers and fellow relief
workers there very uneasy regarding
charges, the war waits and refugees.
The bandits have possession of the
roads surrounding Aintab and several
trucks are being sent into the be-
sieged city to carry the children to a
place of safety farther south, around
Aleppo and Kills. North of Tripoli
great numbers of refugees are pre-
senting the relief workers with new
problems of feeding and clothing
them, and the political chaos of Ar
menia of course contributes to the
suffering of the people, blocking the
relief work.
1t is probable that the two Topeka
young people will arrive in the United
