OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR cATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
 HEAD NOISES.

DID ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH,
 CATARRHAL. DEAFNESS AND
 HEAD NOISES.
 If won know of some one who is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or orr d;nary 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 scientists for long time past have recog- n;zed that catarrh is a cons titutional 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 total deafness, or else the disease may be driven down the air passages towards the lungs which is equally as dang gerous. The following form ula which is used extensively Tn the damp English climate is constltutional treat ment and should prove especially eficaclous to sufferers here who live under more favor able climate conditions.
 Secure from your druggist ounce of Parmint (double strength). Take this home and add to it A pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times day This will often bring quick relief from dis tressinp head noises. Clogged nostrlis should open, breathing become easy and hearing improve as the inflammation in the custodian tubes is reduced. Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system and has a tonic action that helps to obtain the de- make, costs little and is pleasant to take Every person who has catarrh or head ! noises or Is hard of hearing should give this treatment a trial.-Adv.

REPUBLICANS USE
 FRANK TO EXCESS

Washington. September 2S.-(Special.)- Although it is common knowledge that the republicans have money in abundance with which to finance their national cam paign, they are riding Uncle Sam to death.
 All the members of Congress are making extensive use of the government frank by means of which they can circulate their partisan speeches itn oevery section of the country without charge.
 The leader in this form of propaganda is Representative Mondell. the republican leader of the House. At the present time the mailing department of tn House is folding and addressing and otherwise get ing into the mail, 1s0,0o0 copies of a twen- ty-four-column speech of MT. Mondel. oN the excellence of the Sixty-sixth Con gress.
 MT Mondeu started that speech in the House, and secured permission to extend it in the Congressional Record. It is a mass of words, figures and statistics, all of which attempt to prove that the last Congress was the wisest which ever sat under the dome of the capitol.
 In this connection, the democratic campaign committee today publishes an attack against the last Congress which is sustained by editorials from repub- lican newspapers. It quotes the Wash- ington Post to this effect:
 If adjournment is taken in June the republican party will have to go into the presidential campaign confronted by the necessity of lodging or apologizing for the sorriest record ever made by Con gress in recent years.

 Mir Slemp very modestly tells Washing ton correspondents that he has succeeded.
 THE SLEMP BOAST Here is an excerpt from his statement: Tt has surprised me the manner m which the democratic south has veered to- wards the republican party, or to express it more fairly, towards Harding. The south, like all other sections of the coun- try. is American, and as such will not tolerate the barter of American institu- tions. history, constitution and all other things the country holds dear. AS result of the situation, there is no question but that all border states will fall into the republican column, thu e states including Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. West Virginia is strong for Harding.
 "As has been demonstrated through the nomination of Thomas E. Watson for the Senate in Georgia, that state is op- posed to the League of Nations. In Ala bama we will sweep the Seventh con- gressional district because the people or that district cannot tolerate the League of Nations.
 We will win congressional seats Tn Tennessee. As matter of fact, Tennes- see, in the national campaign, may fasl into the republican column. We will carry Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona.
 FLOOD IS CONFIDENT
