To Cure Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Persons suffering from catarrhal deafness and head noises will be glad to know that this distressing affliction can be treated at home by an internal i medicine that lias been said in many j instances to have effected a complete | cure after all else had failed. Sufferers j who could scarcely hear a watch tick I toll how they 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 someone who is troubled with head noises or catarrh, or catarrhal deafness, cut out this for mula and hand to them and you will perhaps have been the means of saving some poor sufferer from total deafness. The prescription can be prepared at home and is made as follows: ■Secure from W. H. Kennedy or any other good druggist in Harrisburg. 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength*, about 75c worth. Take this home, and add to it pint of hot water and 4 oz. »f granulated sugar: stir until dissolved. Take one tablespoonful four times a day. The first dose should begin to relieve the distressing head noises, headache, dullness, cloudy thinking, etc., while the hearing rapidly returns as the sys •>pm is invigorated by the tonic action of the treatment. Loss of smell and mucus dropping In the back of the throat are other symptoms that show the presc-nce of catarrhal poison, and which are quickly overcome by this ef ficacious treatment. Nearly ninety per cent, of all ear troubles are said to be directly caused by catarr... therefore, there must be many people whose hearing can be restored by this simple home treatment. Every person who is troubled with head noises, catarrhal deafness, or catarrh in any form, should give this prescription a trial.—Adver tisement.

Son, Philadelphia The Use of Bisurated Magnesia for Stomach Troubles In these days of almost universal in digestion, dyspepsia and other stomach trouble, the recent announcement by a great specialist that pure bisurated magnesia is an almost infallible remedy for nearly all forms of stomach trouble, will come as a welcome sur prise to all sufferers. A teaspoonful in a little water Immediately after eating, or whenever pain is felt, neutralizes the excess acid, and instantly stops the fermentation and pain. Those who use bisurated magnesia regularly for a week or two usually find that the trouble has entirely disappeared, and normal digestion is completely re stored.—Advertisement.

Daniels Expected to Ask For Naval Reserve Force Special to The Telegraph Washington, D. C„ Nov. 17. Secre tary of the Navy Daniels is expected to recommend In his annual report the or ganization of a national naval reserve of 50.000 men, to be drawn upon should an emergency arise. Assistant Secre tary Roosevelt recently called atten tion to the fact that the navy is short IS.OOO in enlisted men. This has re sulted. officials of the Navy Depart ment assert, in many vessels being un dermanned. Kxcept in case of war, the naval re serve will not affect the personnel of I the navy. If Congress can be persuao ed to provide the necessary appropr: tion to maintain the naval reserve, : Navy Department believes that ma;, former enlisted men will Join this o. ganization, while civilians at all fami liar with ships and the sea will be eligible to become members. When or ganized the national naval reserve will consist of noncommissioned officers, seamen und others capable of perform ing all manner of duties on board ship, from cook to aviator. A complete card index system will be maintained to keep track of each mem ber. The total cost of organizing and maintaining the reserve, it is estimated, will not be more than $75,000 a year. Each member will receive a nominal salary of SI a year in peace time, and an emblem of some kind will be dis tributed for members to wear if they so desire. A BOOK THAT REVEALS THE CAVSES OF THE WAR "The Story of Euro|>e" Explains the Century of Quarrels Lending to the rresent Conflict The unique value of "The Story of Europe," which we are distributing to our readers, consists in the fact that it lays bare the deep-rooted causes of the most stupendous conflict In the history of man. It shows clearly how Europe has become a camp of hostile powers, explains the real facts about the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente, and tells how and why they were formed. It de scribed the hidden, as well as the appar ent, forces that have been at work for generations looking toward this great war. It portrays the issue of Fan- Slavism versus Pan-Germanism that has had much to do with precipi tating war at the present time, and tells graphically of the giant struggle between Great Britain and Germany for commercial supremacy and its influence In the conflict. It explains the colonial policy and development of the great Powers, all of which have rich colonial possessions except Germany. It draws a true picture of the greed and jealousy that have kept nations constantly ready to Jump at one another's throats. Never has the indictment of Europe been so fully and fairly drawn as in this great book, which enables you to understand why the nations of Europe are now at war.

Wood, manager of the I Cassella Color Company, with offices at 126 South Front street, will reach this city from Germany In about ten days. A consignment of dyes for this city was on board the steamer Mantanzas, which arrived at New York from Rot terdam late Saturday night.

The cargoes represent the first large consignments of colors to be sent to the United States from Germany since the war began. Tliey were secured by a special committee of importers who ob tained the co-operation of the Depart ment of State and the German authori ties The colors were sent out of Ger many, via the Rhine, to Rotterdam.

M.—The Ger mans, In the tyilnlon of officers at the front, are beginning to show signs of 'the terrific strain they have under HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH gone for a month past In Flanders and these officers expect that General Jof fre's plan of holding the line and per mitting the German host to wear Itself out In vain but costly assaults will soon bear fruit. A staff officer, writing from the bat tle line, even goes so far as to pre dict that within another month the allies will be In a position to drive the enemy from French soli. The writer, however, admits that he Is by nature nn optimist. Some details of the taking of Dix mude, which the Germans still hold, but which thus far has brought them no advantage have reached here. The capture of the town it appears was due to a mistake on the part of a French detachment. When the fightlnir started the Bel- glans were entrenched north of the city, protecting the Keyen road. To their right, turned toward the west In the direction of Essen were the Sene galese riflemen. To the south the French bluejackets occupied the most exposed position on the Clerken road. The enemy opened a terrific bombard ment at 5 a. m. on Tuesday last during which the admiral who was In com mand of the sailors and who wats making a reconnalsance. Just missed being hit by the fragment of a shell. Waited in Trenches The men watted patiently In the trenches. Toward 1 p. m. the can nonading slackened and the dense columns of German infantry opened fire on the trenches. One column threatened to turn the Belgians who NOVEMBER 17, 1914. overpowered by numbers retired on the outskirts of the city. They were followed by the Senegalese who thought that an order for a general retreat had been given. This move ment uncovered the bluejackets, who had, however, continued to hold their ground. While part of the enemy advanced on Dlxmude by the Essen and Keyen roads left open to them, the rest came at double quick for the sailors. Faced by the Prussian guard they were in danger of being surrounded. Un daunted, however, they dashed with the bayonet upon the Germans, but were overwhelmed by numbers and beaten back to the trenches. Asked to surrender they replied In the words credited to General Cambronne at Wa terloo when in similar circumstances he said: "The guard dies;but never surren ders." C. For several hours they held oft the Germans who were four times as nu merous, charging their ranks every time they came too near. Towards evening they were obliged to retire since their only means of re treat, the bridge connecting the cltv* with the country was about destroyed. They crossed the bridge under an avalanche of bullets with such mag nificent heroism that the Prussian officers afterward greatly expressed their admiration. The fighting was resumed with ter rific violence in the streets, the blua jackets, defending each heap of rub-, bish that had been a house, but finally retreated across the 3
