means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England scientists
for long time past have recognized that
catarrh is constitutional disease anu
necessarily requires constitutional treat
ment.
Sprays, inhaiers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
which frequently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven down the sir
passages towards the lungs which is equally
as dangerous. The following formula which
is used extensively in the damp English
climate is a constitutional treatment ana

ferers here who live under more favorable
climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce or
Parmint Double strength). Take this HON,
and add to 1t u pint of hot water and a
little graduated sugar; stir until dis
solved. Take one tablespoonful four times
from distressing head noises. Clogged nos
trils should open, breathing become easy
and hearing improve as the inflammation
in the eustachian tubes is reduced. Par
mint used in this way acts direcly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system
and has tonic action that helps to obtain
the desired results. The preparation is
easy to make. costs little and is pleasant
to take. Every person who has catarrh or
head noises or is hard of hearing should
give thist treatment a trial.-Adv.

grade and they gave US a little ink
blotter.
Our teacher tied taffy on a
broom handle and had some one TO
try to catch it in their mouth. We
had boy to make cat, but he
didn't put tail on it. The teacher
pinned it On the wall. She gave
the tail TO some on to pin on. The
teacher put a handkerchief over his
eyes and he tried to pin the tail on
the place where it belonged.
We played another game. Our
teacher put three apples on string
and hung them from the ceiling
She chose three children to come
and put their hands behind them
and try to bite them. A little girl
in the Third grade bit the apple,
and the teacher gave her a nice
apple Our refreshments were
apples and popcorn. We had six
children to pass the popcorn and

Peter knew that some day he
should rule Russia, so he began
early to drill his soldiers.
When he was II, he amused him
self by drilling a crowd of boys
who had no idea whatsoever about
military training. In order to teach
them discipline he himself began
as drummer boy and later was a
private, sergeant, captain, and then
general. This company learned so
readily under the leadership of
Peter that it became a regiment.

News-ReeI Cameraman Tells How
He "Shot" Huge Quarry Elk

You and | seldom realize, as we
sit in the movie and watch reel

thrills motion picture cameramen

sin being blown TO smithereens If
you do, however, you will recall
that it seemed the huge boulders
and dirt would fly right off the
screen, so close was the picture

was an immense thing. | wanted
to get as much Of it in the picture
as possible. But l couldn't get To-

discover an old iron shed near the
edge of the quarry. 1t looked like
a pretty good place, apparently
safe from flying rocks, so | set up
my camera under the roof"
But he had hardly finished
getting the camera in position
when a string of cars pulled up in
front and blocked the cameras Wis

Mr.. Brown was just picking up
his camera when representative
of the Bureau Of Mines, one of the
men under whose direction the
quarry was being blown up, came

and yet close to this quarry, from
which l can get pictures Of the

sizes and all descriptions are there
little birds and large birds. and
beautiful, too.
Two Little Monkeys.
The most amusing thing in this
bird house was two little monkeys.
They were as old as they would
ever get. Their faces were about
as large as a silver dollar. Their
eyes. no larger than the head of a
black-headed pin. Their eyes were
black. The fur of one was brown
1t shone like a diamond. The
others fur was black and white.
We saw very small birds that
looked like velvet. A.
l went to spend the weekend at
Gary, about fifty miles from Chi
cago. In going from Chicago to
Gary, we passed through White City
"a suburb of Chicago. 1t has a
wonderful building in it. 1t is
about three times the height of an
ordinary house. When | went by
it, it was in the evening, and it GER
tainly was a wonderful sight to-
see. 1t has lights all over it, in
many different colors.
While at Gary, we went to Miller

about a mile high. People take
their lunches and blankets and go

their blankets and sleep there all
