CUT TBS OUT
Old English Recipe For catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness and Head
NniSes

If you know of some one who is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises or ordinary cataTh 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 scien-
lists for a long time past have recog
nzed that catarrh is a constitutional
disease and necessarily requires con
stitutional 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 dangerous The following
formula which is used extensively in
the damp Engl sh climate is a constl'
tutional treatment and should prove
especially efficacious to sufferers
here who live under more favorable
climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist / ounce

hot water and little granulated
sugar; stir until dissolved This will
often bring quick relief from distress

directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system and has a tonic
action that helps to obtain the desired

make, costs little and is pleasant tc
take. Every person who has catarrt

Paris, Feb. %. (By The Associated
Press Great military activity was
noted today along the portion OF the
Rhine occupied by the French near
the Mayence Bridgehead. The artil-
lery, which had been parked several
miles beh nd the line, was brought
up, as also were long lines Of am
munition trucks, while the airplane
camps at Bourget and Villa Coublay
began to show activity, commencing
at noon today. Ii IS reported that
the movement Of Senegalese, Alger-
ian and Moroccan troops arriving at
Marseilles during the past few days
has greatly increased.
Marshal Foch is expected to return
to Paris from London tomorrow with
General Weygand, and proceed inn
med ately to Mayence there to ava
the decision OF the London confer
ences This dec sion according TO
semi.ofiicial information is not eX-
pected in Paris until Friday or sat
urday
Should the Germans formally de-
cl ne to accent the allied reparations
demands, everything is sad to be in
readiness to execute the penalties
which were decided on by Premiers
I1oyd-George and BRAND at Che.
quers Court, although such penalties
must be ratified by Belgium and
italy whose delegates will have TO
be called into consultat on.
The greatest secrecy is beng main
tanned as to the nature OF these pen
aties and concerning the military
movements, bat The Associated Press
learns on good authority that great
naval demonstration by the British
has been dec ded on at Kiel, Hamburg
and Bremen, while the Belg an and
French troops will operate on land.
The Ruhr region, it is said, prob
ably will not be occupied, as the
French desire to demonstrate that
any movement taken by them is not
directed against the German prole-
tarat, but aga nst the react onaries,
nationa'ists and imperialists.
The consensus Of opinion in par
liamentary circles is that no decision
VI II be taken until the London con
ference is aware OF the content OF
the inauguration speech Of President
Harding as French officials are de-
sirous OF showing the Un ted States
that everything possible has been
done to avoid stern measures. and
also that they desire to have the
moral support of American public
opinion should a move forward into
the interior OF Germany become
necessary.
