Cambridge, Too, in Need of
Money; Big Change in
Old British Schools
London, Dec. 12. —Oxford and
Cambridge universities have ap
plied for financial assistance from
the state. The government has re
sponded by appointing a commis
sion to inquire into the matter.
The chairman of the commission is
the former Premier Herbert H.
Asquith.
There is no doubt in the public
mind that both the famous univer
sities are hard up but so also is
the state and the present is not con
sidered the most suitable time for
obtaining any considerable grant
from it.
Meanwhile many of the under

being made by invoking the profi
teering act to enable them to pro
cure necessities at less cost.
Before the war it was possible for
an unusually gifted youth to win
scholarships which almost if not
quite maintained him. Now when
the minimum sum on which he can
support himself while at either of
the universities amounts to from
?1,300 to 11,500 a year he cannot
live on scholarships. The very nar
row bridge by which the poor man
might pass into the old universities
has broken down. It is alleged
that an education at Oxford or
Cambridge has become again the
exclusive* privilege of the well-to-do.

CUT THIS OUT
Ot,n ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CA
TARRH, CATARRH *l. DEAENESS
AND HEAD NOISES
If you know of some one who Is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
bead noises or ordinary catarrh 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 sci
entists for a long time past have
recognized that catarrh is a consti
tutional disease and necessarily re
quires constitutional 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 dis
ease 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 English climate is a con
stitutional treatment and should
prove, especially efficacious to suffer
ers here who live under more fa
vorable climate conditions.
Secure from your druggist 1 ounce
of Parmint (Double strength). Take
this home and add to It <4 pint of hot
water and a little granulated sugar;
stir until dissolved. Take one table
spoonful four times a day. This will
often bring quick relief from dis
tressing head noises. Clogged nos
trils should open, breathing become
easy and hearing improve as the in
flammation In the eustachian tubes is
reduced. Parmint used in this wav
acts directly upon the blood tand
mucus surfaces of the svstem and
has a tonic action that helps to ob
tain the desired results. The prepar
ation 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 this treat
ment a trial.

The calllng-up of the village boot

His importance is suddenly recognized,
and his loss has, in several Isolated Mid-

Technical classes in soling, heeltap
