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 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 it to them and you may have been @he means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The pre- scription can be prepared at home and is r'ade as follows:
 mirt (ceuble strength). Take this home and add to it A pint of hot water and little granulated 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 iufamma- tion 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 etr, and the results it gives are nearly always Cuick and effective.
 Every person who has catarrah in any form, or distressing, rumbling, hissing sounds in their ears. should give this recipe a trial

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
 TO BEGIN ARMIsTICE DAY

Armistice Day, November 11th, has been set by the National Red Cross as the date fov the formal opening of the fifth annual roll call, which will De car r!ed out in the Norwich district as it will be in all other places.
 In connection with the prelirrinary roll call plans, special attention has been 6i- rected to the different kinds of member ship in the Red Cross organization and ti9 Importance of chaprar effort ir se- curing the enrolment of other than the nual memberships, for which the dues are one dollar. Of the annual member ship dues, fifty cents of each case re- mains with the chap<er and fifty cents goes into the National Red Cross treas ury. Out of each contributing member ship Give dollars dues) the chapter re- tains $450 and the remaining fifty cents goes to headquarters. Out of each sus- taining membership (ten dollars dues) S9.50 remains with the chapter and the other fifty ceats goes to headquarters. It thus will be seen that under the di- vision of membership fees, one contrib uting membership will be worth as much to the chapter a4 nine annual and that one sustaining membership will mean, so far as chapter finances are concerned, the same as nineteen annual member ships. It has been pointed out that there are in every community, individ- uals who will wish to do more for the Red Cross than is involved in merely be- coming an annual member; and espec- cially from the ranks of those who gave hundreds or thousands of dollars in war fund drives it is expected that chapters will find many who are willing to become members of another class, thereby helping to provide the support which the chapters need for the carrying on of their local activities.
 Sunday Nov. 13 two days following Armistice Day, which marks the form al opening of the roll call, will be Red Cross Sunday throughout the country. On this day it is expected that all min isters of the gospel within each chapters jurisdiction, to whom Ahe plan com mends itself, will, in connection with their church services, explain the ob ject and aims of the Red Cross to their congregations and urge them to re-en- roll themselveS as members of the Amer ican Red Cross for the year 1922.
 Chapters also are expected to enlist the same kind of assistance from fra ternal and other organizations in their respective communities.
 It Is anticipated that one of the great outside helps to the efforts put forth by chapter workers to make the roll call | a success will come through the Aneri- can Legion and similar organizations of veterans. It is expected that the indi- vidual interest of the soldier boys, in l having the Red Cross work for their unfortunate fellows carried to it's com- pletion, will incline them to use their organized force in every way possible to give the Red Cross the membership support which 1t requires. It is expected that chapters, in connection with their preliminaries for the roll call work, will seek association with. the veterans or ganization in each community along the most practical lines suggested by the situation in the particular locality.
