To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness, or who are growing hard of
hearing and have head noises, will be
glad to know that this distressing af-
fiction can usually be successfully
treated at home by an internal medi-
cine that in many instances mas 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 a 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 catarrh-
al deafness. cut out this formula and
hand 1t to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer
perhaps from total deafness The pre-
scription can be prepared at home and
| is n,a6e as follows:
| Secure from your druggist l OF. Par
-mtrt Gee uble strength. Take this home
I'd add to it 4 pint of hot water and
a little graduated 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 jnhamma-
| ton and swelling in the Eustachian
tubes, and thus to equalize the air
| pressure on the drum, but to correct
| any excess of secretions i'll the middle
| car, and the results it gives are nearly
always quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrah in
any form, or distressing rumbling
| Kissing sounds in their ears, should
| give this recipe a trial

scented by them were considered The

cent fare tryout in Norwalk and Bridge
port for period # 80 days as test Of
yielding sufficient revenue to meet ex-
penses. 1t was the opinion of the direc-
tors that the results of this experiment

suit of any efforts on the part of the
Connecticut company.

tees authorized by the directors at their
last meeting was made as report Of

itousy maintained by the company for

ing the center of large trading area,

cilities if the merchants are to consistent

WATCHED FOR RUM RUNNERS
At PIEASIRE REACI

That a mysterious schooner. suspected
of having a cargo of alcoholic liquors, has
been seen off Pleasure Beach was a rum
or that caused the prohibition law en-
forcement officers to maintain a vigil
for three night this week in that part of
Waterford in the hope of intercepting
any contraband that might be landed.
They saw the boat, but as no effort was
made to bring anything ashore they had
their labor for their pains Wednesday
night the schooner disappeared.
It Is rumored that ever since last Au-
gust a boat has been appearing at inter
walls off Pleasure Beach and that at night
it would send ashore liquors which were
landed at Booth Bros wharf where they
were taken on motor vehicles and rushed
to New Haven and other. places in the
western part of the state to alleviate tho
thirst of these whose cellars were not
properly supplied for the prohibitory
drouth.
AS similar methods have been enI9loye
in other parts of the country to get al
coholic liquors to places from which they
could be distributed without attracting at
tention of dry officers have made 1t n
point to investigate and the last STEW
nights watch has been a part Of the plan
of campaign to bring about CAPTURE.
If the mysterious boat had liquor in
board 1t is evident that the persons in
charge had some kind of a tip that pre-
vented them from trying to get the con-
traband ashore

DISARM Farley
Japan
Tokyo Delegates at Washington
Would Discuss Far-East
Problems Later.
UNITED STATES TO DECIDE
American Delegation Expected to
Take Up Reduction Of Naval Pro-
grams First-LIoyd George
Unable to Attend Meeting.

Washington, Nov. 5.-The Japanese
delegation to the armament conference
will attempt to have the size of naval
appropriations fixed first, when the big
world peace gathering gets under way
next week.
At the State department it was said
the United States will insist that the
Far-East question be taken up in con-
nection with the matter of ornaments.
but the leaders Of the Tokyo delega-
ton gave no indication of yielding.
The Japanese viewpoint, as inform
ally expressed after the arrival here
Of Admiral T. Kato, minister Of ma
rine, and Princt Iyesato Tokugawa,
president of the house of peers, who,
with Ambassador Shidehara, form
the principal Japanese delegation, was
that prior discussion of Pacific and
Far-Eastern questions might involve
difficulties such as to delay progress
Of the negotiations.
While there has been no certain In
dication to the attitude of the Ameri-
can delegates on this point, it Is I'M
derstood that their preparatory con-
ference to date, in which Secretary
DENLY and the technical advisers on
naval matters participated, have been
largely confined to study of the
armament limitation problem. The
American delegation Is understood to
be preparing to take the initiative in
the conference, and to make a sub
stantial offer on behalf of this gov
eminent looking to reduction of naval
programs.
The two Japanese delegates, accom-
panied by party Of advisers and ex-
their arrival by Secretaries Hughes
and DENLY, and number Of other Off
Gals, and were escorted by cavalry
to the residences reserved for them
here.
Prince Tokugawa, just before his
arrival at Washington, told CORE
spondent that he would devote him
self to the cause of removing any
| misunderstanding that may exist be-
tween our governments" adding that
they Should know each other better
and cooperate"
Confidence that the ornaments con-
ference would reach sensible con-
clusion" was expressed by Senator
Carlo Schanzer, president of the Ital-
ian delegation, in a statement here.
Italy, he said, would never hesi-
tate to give all her support to any
proposal which may eliminate future
conflicts and assure peace"
