Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of' Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by . Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All druggists, 75c. F. J. CHENEY CO., Toledo, O.

CITES SOLDIERS’ PATRIOTISM.
Maj. Gen. Getty Points to Boys Who Subscribe for Liberty Bonds.
By BRIG. GEN. ROBERT N. GETTY,
[Commandant at Camp Dodge, lowa.] What does the real soldier of today think of the Liberty loan? Just as he thinks of every other measure adopted by his government to put a spoke in the wheels of the machine that will carry him to victory. His enthusiasm can be explained best by depicting the manner in which he offered his pay down to the last few pennies to his government when the last Liberty loan was launched. Many of the soldiers allotted so much of their pay that the war department found it necessary to authorize the discontinuance of some of these allotments that the soldier might have a small amount left for his personal use. Our American soldier is the personification of patriotism. He is a living example of what his brothers back home would do well to imitate if their loudly proclaimed desires to help the cause for humanity’s sake are sincere. He is giving up his family, his home interests, offering his life, and is now more than willing that his monthly pay should revert to the coffers of his country if it will materially assist in winning the war. He is giving his all, and willingly. He only asks for a chance to fight and that his brothers who cannot bear arms will stand back of him. I am proud of these men and the fervor and spirit they display. It will be a great honor when that day arrives to lead them into battle, knowing they who have given everything will fight to the last man. It is to be regretted that many a soldier before Induction into the service burdened himself with heavy financial obligations that his dependents might be provided for during his absence. I only wish that the small, abject faction of the civilian element that is bringing pressure to bear upon the already overburdened soldier and bis family because of these same obligations could but become imbued with some of the spirit of self-sacrifice and patriotism evinced by the men en the firing Un*. _ -
C THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT
By a 1,000 Per Cent American. Here Is a sermon on patriotism. It comes to Chicago from Sturgeon Bay, Wis. The standard -of patriotism preached in this sermou is so much above the patriotism of many thousands of men and women in the Seventh reserve district that the Liberty loan executive committee is sending the story broadcast throughout the district in the hope of rousing a spirit of emulation in the breasts of all citizens, both naturalized and native born. Were every man in the Chicago district to attain the standard of Demosthenes of Sturgeon Bay, Wis., it is pointed out, the whole $3,000,000,000 would be subscribed in this one district alone. Demosthenes, a 1,000 per cent American, has the following message for Uncle Sam: “You can borrow anything and everything I have.” And this is not his message alone. It is also the message of his two brothers —Antoneos and Stavros. Their surname is Anagnostopoulos, and they conduct a small candy store in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. Let Demosthenes Anagnostopoulos do the rest of the talking: “We boys didn’t have anything when we came to this country. My brothers and I were very poor in the old country. All we have we made here. This country has given us great opportunity. Whatever we have we owe to this country. "We don’t consider that we have done anything beyond a fair share in taking $3,000 worth of Third Liberty loan bonds. We took $1,600 of the second loan, and our allotment for the third loan, figured by the apppraisal committee on the basis of assessed valuation of property, was SIOO each, or S3OO for the three of us. But as we had the money and we knew that Uncle Sam wanted to raise much money for the war, we decided to let him have all our savings. We know that it is a safe Investment, and we don’t consider that we have been particularly patriotic in lending this amount to the government. “We talked It over and we decided that we owed this country something —yes, everything —and we felt the least we could do would be to lend money to the government. “ ‘Tony’ Is in the draft and probably will go to one of the cantonments on the next call for soldiers. He is glad to go and fight for his country. We—Stavros and myself—are glad to have him go, and if we are called, we, too, will fie glad to go. “We don’t consider that we are entitled to be known as patriots for lending our money to the government. The security is so good, the interest is so high, the investment is so excellent ig every way, that we would have been glad to take advantage of the opportunity even if the best country in the world had not been at war and in need of money. “In the sixteen years we have lived here we have prospered. We know that America gives every industrious man a splendid opportunity. We want that opportunity continued. That is the reason we subscribed.”
He Wants to Win This War. Do You?
A father here in a little Illinois town received a cablegram the other day from General Pershing, announcing the death of his two sons over there, “killed In action.” He went out and sold his home and bought Liberty bonds. “I’m the only one left now and I’ll rent a room for myself,” wai his only comment.
We Can’t Starve Germany; Buy Bonds.
Whatever hopes we had that Germany could be starved into submission have been dispelled by the Russian debacle. Only the defeat of the German military machine on the west front can end this war. It is up to th* United States. Support your government with your money, lor we shall fail. Invest in Liberty bonds. _ i
SERMON ON PATRIOTISM
WORKING OVERTIME
When a man works overtime It Ib because of some extreme necessity and usually not because he wants to. Nearly everyone realizes that working long hours constantly tn time will bring a physical breakdown. Therefore, everyone with good judgment strives to be a friend to his own body If for no other reason than that he may be able to continue to work and make a living. If you were suddenly to find some means of working 24 hours a day 365 days a year you would probably rush to Washington to take out a patent on the system. Have you stopped to think, however, tha| J there is a way of earning money 24 hours of the day which you may be neglecting? The one thing which will work overtime for you year in and year out without tiring is money placed at interest. Money “in boxes and soxes,” hoarded or hidden away, is imprisoned and cannot work. Moreover, it is in danger of being lost, stolen or destroyed by accident There are just two ways of putting such, money to work for your benefit One is to deposit it in a safe bank, where it will earn interest for you and be subject to your order. The other Is to invest it safely, where it will also earn interest for you. Just now the most desirable investment any one can make is in Liberty Loan bonds. You can buy them in any amounts from SSO up. They will earn you 414 per cent interest yearly. They always have a ready market and the security behind them is the best in the world. You have never doubted the safety of United States currency, whjch is simply the promise to pay of the government. United States government Liberty loan bonds are the promise to pay of the entire country, backed by all the wealth of all the states and territories, with the additional feature that they are always working overtime for you. If you w'ant a true and tried friend who w’ill never tire, who will work for you day and night without pay, and who will turn over his wages to you every six months, take your idle money to the bank today and buy United States Liberty loan 4*4 per cent bonds with it.
MAKE BULLETS OF PENNIES
William Allen White Says Loan Gives Home-Stayers Their Work. By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, [Editor of Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.] Back of the German lines every ounce of food is conserved and distributed with fairly equitable precision ; every yard of cloth is numbered and entered into the war strength of the empire. Every pennyweight of German coal is handled with scientific care, and the one end and aim of all this autocratic control of food and clothing and heat is the winning of the war. There is no other purpose in the German mind. Every German mark is a German soldier; every grain of gold is doing its full share to work oui that indomitable purpose. Heye in America we must realize that the war will not be won on any front, but in our own hearts. This is a clash of civilizations. We must develop in our hearts a democratic purpose as strong and as carefully directed as this autocratic purpose of Germany. We, too, must make soldiers of our cornstalks, defenders of our wool, cotton and silk, make every pound of coal an American pound, and we must make bullets of our pennies. If we fail to develop this democratic purpose in the eye-to-eye, knee-to-knee, hand-to-hand struggle on the front, then our civilization will do down. To fail to support our soldiers with ammunition, food, clothing and coal will weaken them for thte great conflict at the great moment, and that weakening will come from our hearts at home. It will come if we are slow with bur financial support of the men. The Liberty loan furnishes us with the only way we home-stayers can practically show our purpose. Our patriotism will be measured by our performance toward the Liberty loan. What we lend to our country in this time of need will measure our love of the freedom our fathers bought. It is at stake. The autocratic purpose of Germany, iron-willed and yet unbroken, aimed at world conquest, is threatening us. What is freedom worth to you? It Is worth w'hat you lend to your government in this hour of Its awful need.
In the name of the women of Flanders, Who are plowing the German fields, Yoked to the ox and under the lash— Buy bonds—lest the country yields. In the name of the girls and the children— The Belgian, the Serb, the French— Who knows what a German victory means, Buy bonds—for a stronger trench. In the name of our murdered sons, Of hospitals bombed from the sky, In the name of Good Friday in Paris, In the name of decency—Buy!

Where Liberty Bond Money Goes
Approximately 1,500,000 more men will be added to America’s fighting forces within the next few months. Each man must Immediately have clothing and equipment that costs tbout $l5O. Therefore, it will take 3225,000,000 to provide the Initial equipment of arms and clothing. There are about 27,000 men and officers in an army division. To supply them with shelter tents costs $79,650. To buy their steel helmets takes $Bl,000. To give them gas masks requires $324,000. This means ‘ $26,925,000 for such equipment for the 1,500,000 men who will soon be added to the fighting forces. Shoes. Everybody knows that army shoes are thp most comfortable and the cheapest that can be bought, but when they are bought by the millions they mean a lot of money. General Pershing says that each man needs about nine pairs a year. One pair costs $5.10. One SSO Liberty bond will buy one man’s shoes for a year. To buy shoes for 8,000,0000 men takes $137,000,000. Food. ' The addition of 1,500,000 men will mean that America must provide food for approximately 3,000,000. It costs $l5O a year to feed one soldier, so the nation must provide a fund of $450,000,000 to feed our army during the coming year. Airplanes. Airplanes are one of the most important and expensive items of our fighting equipment. One aviator used from five to eight planes a year, and for every flyer there must be 40 men on the ground after the machine is in commission. Every thousand feet of lumber used costs $lO5, and 10,000,000 feet a month are needed, which totals a sum of- $1,050,000. The planes needed cost from $7,000 to $20,000 each, and the service needs at least 20,000 of them. Appropriations thus far made for them have been $640,000,000 and $450,000,000 more is needed. Rifles. Rifles make a large Item In army expense. The average life of a rifle on the fighting front is nine days. One Enfield costs $19.50. We are shipping 250,000 rifles to France every month, at a cost of $4,875,000. For a year that means a total of $58,500,000. One hundred rounds of rifle ammunition costs $5. To provide 3,000,000 men with 100 rounds each would cost $15,000,000. A sevcn-day’s barrage fire along a front of 11,000 yards costs $63,791,235. This represents the cost of nearly 2,000,000 shells of all sizes and descriptions. The average cost of drafting one man —changing a civilian into a soldier—is $4.93. To add 1,500,000 more men to the service will cost $7,395,000. This represents the cost of the work of the 4,557 draft boards.
PITCH THE DOLLARS IN
Win the Liberty Pennant With the Third Liberty Loan, Says Alexander. By GROVER CLEVELAND ALEXANDER, [Star Twlrler of Chicago Cubs, Who Has Been Drafted.[ In the great game for the democratization of the world we must do our utmost during the full route of nine innings. We made good in the first two, so let’s exceed our speed in the the Third Liberty loan inning. We at home, who are denied a placein the trenches, can strike out Prussian tyranny with a blinding curve of money. Pitch the dollars in fpr America for the freedom of the seas, the protection of the weak and the triumph of right over might Every ballplayer and every fan should open his purse and lend his savings to Uncle Sam, who will pay you good interest and guarantee payment with the length and breadth of the greatest country on earth. We must not rest one minute until America and Its allies have put the Hun in last place. Nothing can bring this result quicker than good American dollars, each of which is a nail in the coflin of Kaiserism. Get together, boys. Let’s win the Liberty pennant with the Liberty loan In the Third Liberty loan inning.
