For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Here in America there is much suf fering from catarrh and head noises. 1 American people would do well to con sider the method employed by the Eng lish to combat this insidius disease. ' Everyone knows how damp the English • climate is and how dampness affects i those suffering from catarrh. In Eng land they treat catarrhal deafness aud 1 head noises as a constitutional disease 1 and use au internal remedy for it that > is really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a ■ watch tick tell how they had their , hea"ring restored by this English treat ment to such an extent that the tick of ' a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear. i Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal ; deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you I will have been the means of saving , some poor sufferer perhaps from total i deafness. The prescription can be easily prepared at home for about 75c . and is made as follows: From your druggist obtain 1 oz. of Parmint (Double Strength), about 75c worth. Take this home, and add to it % pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflamma tion. and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure) on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives arc usually remarkably quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form should give this recipe a trial and free themselves from this destructive disease.—Adv.

Third Street Corner Strawberry Avenue AGAR, [ EYEWITNESS TELLS HOW FRENCH CAINED VICTORY IN LES EPARCES BATTLE Paris, April 18, 9.20 P. M.—"The action by which we gained the military ascendency of the entire west of Les | Eparges on the evening of April 9 was the culmination of a prolonged and violent effort," says a French eyewit ness in giving an account of the des perate fighting which took place in that vicinity. "It was a victory," he continues, "analogous in the intensity of offensive to that which took us to the summit of Hartmaus-Weilerkopf and more important if one considers the forces engaged. "The crest of Les Eparges is a long spur with an altitude of 346 yards, dominating to the east heights of the Meuse and the immense plain of the Woever. Its sides are abrupt and slip pery and it is surrounded by numerous streams. It frequently becomes, there fore, a mountain of mud. The /;rest is particularly important on account' of its situation and in connection with the developments of our future opera tions its capture was indispensable. A Long and Savage Fight "At the beginning of the forward movement the French were at the edge of the villages of Les Eparges. A long and savage fight to gain ground fol lowed. The Germans at one time placed two heavy batteries on the plains. A number of successful actions finally brought the French to the poipt of try ing a decisive offensive. This began at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of April 5, with the capture of the western summit as the oibject. It was raining and the lighting began in a sea of mud. "In spite of a heavy fire from the enemy's artillery and tlie fact that our infantrymen hardly could lift their legs out of the mire, the French ad vanced steadily. After hand to hand fighting the French installed them selves every where in the German trenches except to the east where they were slopped by aerial torpedoes which some times mowed down entire ranks. The French who had been fighting without cessation since the day, finally stopped but resumed the attack the next night when they charged with fixed bayonets and threw back the enemy. Order to Carry the Summit "On the seventh, covered with mud and soaked to the skin, but victorious, the French realized that since the fifth they had gained 500 yards of trenches and taken a hundred prisoner*, includ ing several officers. The French now approached their goal but when this near on the seventh the enemy counter attacked with heavy reinforce ments. The French artillery was wait ing for them however, and they were mowed down as they debouched fr.om their trenches. "When daylight came the order -was given to finish the task. 'We must carry the summit,' was the word it contained. Rain wns falling, rifles were clogged with mud and the use of bayonets was necessary. By midnight, after most furious fighting, which last ed uninterruptedly for fifteen hours, almost all the positions belonged to us, although the enemy still held a email triangle on one side. Finally at 10 p. m., on the 9th the entire summit was in the possession of the French and Les Eparges now belongs to us." CENSORS SIOTHER NEWS ABOUT HUMORED FIRE (Correspondence of Associated Press) London, April 7.—There was a rumor in Lolidon the night of January 31 that a serious fire had broken out in the big government dock yards at Ports mouth, but the government smothered all inquiries with a prompt denial and the censor eliminated all mention of the matter from press dispatches. It now appears that the fire was of a very serious.character and came near wiping out the docks and other valuable properties at Portsmouth. The reST extent of the damage is still carefully concealed. It is the common belief in official circles that the fire was the work of incendiaries, presumably Ger man spies. To-day a carefully worded notice was issued by the dock yard authorities of fering a reward of SSOO "for the dis covery of the incendiaries responsible for the fire at the building slip sheds the night of January 31."

M. Ribot believes, nevertheless, that in view of the fact that several French departments still are occupied by the Germans, the time has not arrived for a return to ordinary financial condi tions.

Terra eotta can be produced in a va riety of colors, and, while rains leave stone surfaces dingier, they brighten surfaces made of the cloy.
