Parallel To "How Old Is

PARTS OF A STILL NOT
A STILL, ONE RULING

The old problem, "What is whiskey -
which bafned even the endeavors Of
SO legal a mind as former President
William Howard Taft. has given way
10 a new one, When is a still not a
slil?r
The new problem Just now is agtat-
ing the minds Of prohibition directors
throughout the country, including w.
TruXtOn Boyca. who has the job Of
suppressing Illicit traffic in intoxicat-
ing liquors in Delaware. Life is just
one dry question after another" said
Mr.. Boyce, softly, today, when con-
frOnted with this newest parallel to
How old is Ann?"
The poser "When is a still?" intruded
Itself yesterday afternoon at a hearing
before United States Commissioner
Marley, in Philadelphia. But while 1t
has not yet reached the stage of
commissioners hearing in Whining
ton, il is likely TO do so al almost any
time.
Henry Knollman was arraigned be-
fore Commissioner Manley for a thlrd
time to explain his possession OF a col

In SPITE OF the contentious Of the
agents. the Commissioner was not sat
isiied that still is still when IL is
not assembled. or rather that a still Is
not still until It is proven to be a
still. SO he gave the Prihibition agents
still further opportunity TO look up
the law on stills.
Recently the local Prohibition office
located evidence Of what TO all intents

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness, or who are growing hard Of hearing
and have head noises will be glad to know
that this distressing afflictiOn can usually
be successfully treated at home by an in
ternal medicine that i'm many instances
has effected complete relief after other
treatments have failed. Sufferers who
could scarcely hear have had their hear
Ing restored TO such an extent that the
tick OF a watch was plainly audible seven
or eight inches away from either ear
Therefore, IL you know Of someone who Is
troubled with head noises or catarrhal
deafness, cut out this formula and hand Il
10 them and you may have been the means
Of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from
total deafness. The prescription 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 Il a pint OF hot water and
little granulated sugar; stir until dis
solved Take one tablespoonful four times
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-
tions in the middle ear, and the results IL
gives are nearly always quick and ef
fective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
FORM or distressing rumbling, Kissing
sounds I'm their ears. should give this re-
cipe n trial.

Japan SUFFERING FROM sHANTUNG OUTRAGE.

VT is very evident from dispatches from both Japan
and China, that Japan is suffering some Of the nat
nr adverse consequences Of her acquisition Of control
OF the Province Of shantung.
As an expression Of her dspleasure and an attempt at
rtrbuton China established boycott against Japanese
goods.
While this boycott is Of course. not complete 1t is
continuing and increasing to degree that is becoming
embarrassing TO the merchants OF Japan
/, IS stated that many Japanese vessels that goins
n China have cargoes so small that operating expense
cannot be paid
THAT China is determined in her policy OF punishment
OF Japan is mpresslvey demonstrated by the Fact that
when Japanese sailors are shore leave in China, they
find the Chinese merchants unwilling TO accept their
money n exchange for Chinese goods
feeling that runs as deeply this Is certain to be
lasting in its influence.
Naturally the United States is one of the benenciares
OF this attitude OF China towards Japan.
Chinese merchants ind this one Of the most
lent markets in which to buy the supplies they would
otherwise purchase from the Island Empire to the North
Although the representative Of the United States at
the Peace Conference his approval to the provision
OF the treaty which accorded shantung to Japan Chinese
statesmen and business recognize The fact that the
American people disapprove that provision Of the treaty
and they prefer to deal with America rather than with
the nation which willingly and deliberately sought 10

elimination OF the disease from these United states is in

Since the opening OF this century city after
other has taken up the attack typhoid, until now
there is no city Of any size which is not campaigning
against It through the water supply and by means OF
sanitation For several years past the Journal Of the
American Medical Association has presented an annual
survey Of typhoid mortality TO the physicians OF the
country The survey for 1919 announced and the
figures are nothing less than amazing

eat good and was so nervous he
couldn't hold still in a chair. He laid
on from work and lucky for him a

ASK YOUR MITE.n

NOT knowing whether to sign for 1920 at the salary
~ offered him, Helne Groh, renowned third baseman
the worldchampion Reds consulted with his wife as
ne freely admits
Aren't we partners. says Groh. Don't we share out
Of the same old pockctbook? want my wife to be in
teresed in my business affairs Who better than wife
knows what's good for a fellow"
You said a mouthfu Henie as the boys in the bleach
would says.
In fact the wisdom Of Groh is like that Of the whole
some philosopher Benjamin Franklin who, describing the
early years Of his married fe wgote thus in his auto
biography:
I'VE have an English proverb that says: lie that
would thrive must ask his wife It lucky for me
that had much disposed to industry and frugaity
as myself She assisted me cheerfuly in my business
only once says Franklin did he have fault to find
with his partners judgment That on an occasion
when without his knowledge she bought him China
bowl and silver spoon costing the enormous sum Of
three and twenty shillngs."
And how about your wife, Mr.. Reader? Is she an
active or silent partner in your affairs? Your business
IS her business, but how much does she know OF 1t?
The baplayer like the philosopher, points the way to
successful marlmony. 1t is a smooth, wide road open
TO ALL
"He that would thrive must ask his wife, So said
Franklin and so says Groh.
