Orderly Under OUTRAGE

The~ disposition manifested by
members of the American Legion to
conduct themselves in AN orderly
manner in face of great provocaxion
and to assert their rights by orderly
methods is an especially gratifying
feature of several occasions when an
attitude of an altogether different
sort was the more inviting.
A recent occurrence of this nature
is reported from East Boston where
the gangsters entered the Legion
post and destroyed several hundred
dollars worth of property. At first
some of the members furious. at the
unprovoked outrage we're for clean

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 affection
can usually be successfully treated at
home by an internal medicine that in
many instances has effected complete
relief after other treatments have failed
Sufferers who could scarcely hear have
had their hearing restored to such an
extent that the tick of watch was
plainly audible seven or eight inches
away from either ear. Therefore, If
YOU know of someone who is troubled
with head noises or catarrhal 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 prescription
can be prepared at home and is made
as follows:
Secure from your druggist ! or. Par
mint Double strength. Take this home
and add to it Il pint of hot water and a
little Sranulated sugar: stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful four
times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the intiamma-
ton and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but TO correct any
excess OF secretions in the middle ear,
and the results it gives are nearly al
ways quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh in any
form: or distressing rumbling, kissing
sounds in their ears, should give this
recipe a trial-Adv

BUILD new Mill
Curtis, TowIe & Paine Also
Plan More Warehouses.
improvements to Begin as Soon
as Rail Spur Secured.

The Curtis. Tewle G Paine COM
pany, a national institution, will build
a new planning mill and warehouse
at First and Jackson streets, r. S.
Murray, manager of the Topeka
branch of the firm, announced today.
Murray appeared before the city
comm issioners today with a request
that . railroad switch under the north
tracks of the Santa Fe at First and
Van Buren, streets be extended to the
site of the new plant.
As soon as this spur obtained, the
company will start laying a founda-
ton for an iron warehouse on the new
property, which comprises half a
block purchased recently. This ware
house will be 64x14S feet, in size
construction of the new mill and
another warehouse, which will include
the office, will probably not be started
until next fall, Murray said. Then the
warehouse, which is to be built inn
mediately, will be turned into a lum-
Der shed. Murray could not give any
estimate at this time as to the exact
size of the new plant or the amount
of money it would cost He said
however, that it would be much larger
than the plants present home.
t. The company's object for moving its
location is to get ma railroad spur
and to enlarge its plant.
Murray s request to the commission
ers was referred to Commissioner w
S. Hancock. The planing mills repre-
sentative urged prompt action.
