FOE MUST LOSE HER COLONIES, SAYS BALFOUR Safety of British Empire Imperilled by German Holdingsi Secretary Claims. LONDON', via Montreal, Oct 24. In no circumstances Is It consistent with the safety, security and unity of the Prltlsh , empire that Germany's colonies should be returned to her, declared A. J. Balfour, the British foreign secretary, in a speech at the luncheon of the Australian and New Zealand club yesterday. Mr. Balfour said. It was absolutely . essential that the communications; of the British empire should remain safe. He asked If the German colonies were returned wha security was there that their original possessors would not use them as bases for piratical warfare. The doctrine that the colonies should not be returned, Mr. Balfour claimed, was not selfish and imperialistic. It was one In which the interests of the world were almost as much concerned as the Interests of the empire Itself. If the empire was to remain united It was absolutely necessary that communication between the various parts .' should - not be at the mercy of an unscrupulous power. DANIELS SUPPORTS -, FORD FOR SENATE

i (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. Secretary Daniels , in a public statement today urging Michigan voters to support the candidal? JbfHetrry FordTor tbeUnitefl States ' senate,' declared naval "officers: of the United States and foreign countries have pronounced the Eagle boats, produced at the Ford plant In Detroit, as "next to the destroyer, the best weapon to extermlne the submarine." By next summer, Mr. Daniels said, the government expects to have a hundred or more of these new craft in the water. In referring to Mr. Ford as a senatorial candidate, the secretary's statement says: "In war he knows how to produce weapons to win peace and in the problems to be settled his Judgment as senator would be of the highest value."

French Customs Source of Interest to Yankees Serving Overseas

Ferdinand, formerly king of Bulgaria, enjoyed the reputation of being the shrewdest and wiliest of all royal business men. He owns theaters, tobacco factories and dairies, and has made large sums in stock speculation.

Razac-sur- 'Isle, Dordoque, France, is the address given by Robert M. Tomlinson, with the 334th Regiment medical detachment,- in a letter to his mother "If you can make out what this place is you can tell exactly where I am," he writes. "It is a small village of about 500 population and a typical French hamlet. There are small narrow streets running every direction; two-wheeled carts pulled by a team of mules or oxen, driven by French women wearing wooden shoes all this is a very common sight. But the people are awfully nice to us. However, when a bunch of soldiers get intn a. utti town. Drices are bound to

go up on account of the big demand for the Bmall stock the merchants carry. It is reported (not "officially) that we will be here for some time, and knowing that the little stores have begun increasing their stocks. This morning I was late for breakfast, and all I got was a cup of coffee. I went to one of the little stores and bought a can of salmon, which cost 80 cents. The same can at home would cost 25 cents. I sure was hungry, too hungry to wait until dinner time. All you can buy Is salmon and sardines, and once in a while (If you are lucky) a piece of bread. There is not a piece of candy in town as sugar is about the scarcest thing In France. " Our meals are cooked by the same cook3 that cooked for our regiment at Camp Sherman. And we . get good meals too, probably better than the French people themselves. Our food Is shipped in, not a thing is bought in the town as they only have enough for themselves "Their bread is dark, and is baked in loaves about 6 inches thick, and as big around as a big dish pan. It is good bread, though. f " "?r&Hfr "When we got here every place around town was thick with ripe blackberries, and how we did enjoy them. These people do not use them at all and were allowing them to all go to" waste. 1 Part Bbf Our- infantry conipatnjrtirett? sent ou$ f tsrr prck some for our mess and we had jam' three meals. That was quite a few berries when three hundred men were eating at once. The bushes are all cleaned out now. "Nearly all the women wash for the soldiers. One did mine for me and charged me a franc (20 cents). She washed one 6hirt, one two-piece suit of underwear, one towel, one handkerchief and two pairs of socks. When I paid her she gave me three large bunches of grapes (raisins they call them).

"Speaking of washing they do not wash like Americans. .. They take their clothes to: the river.: or, to a cement

pool about 20 feet square," built for the purpose, and either rub them out

on a board, or beat them with a suck. All this is done, in cold water. But my clothes were quite clean. , "I'll have to stop for a minute now and go to dinner. It is 12 o'clock here now and of course with you it is only about 6 a. m. : "This is later. Yesterday we received straw for our ticks. We also received two more blankets, so we sleep plenty warm and comfortable. W-, "I guess I am now allowed to. tell you that after crossing the ocean coming over we landed in England, and stayed there one day. The following night we boarded a smaller ship and crossed the English channel - under cover of the darkness. . The i water seemed rougher there than at any time crossing the Atlantic. And from what people say we were in more danger there from submarines than at any time. But we got across safely and landed at Le Havre, France. , , "It was raining and dreary and w walked about five miles to the camp, and sure were glad and hungry when we got there. "We only stayed at that camp about 36 hours, then marched back to Le Havre, and took a train there. I can't tell you what kind of a train it was. But will when I get back and we'll all have a good laugh. " "It took two days to get here and we arrived on Sunday night. That night we slept in an old barn, of which I told you in a previous letter, but we are all fixed up fine now. I neglected to say that at one time we were in sight of Paris, but did not go through it. v5 ? "One of the boys got a letter from Evansville. Irid. yesterday, and it is the only one any of the boys have received from home. Since- that I have begun to get anxious to get a letter from you and hope to in a few days.

French Cereal Crop Is Less than Last Year's

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 24. Despite an increase of 25 per cent in wheat production, the total value of the 1918 crop of cereals, beans and potatoes in France is less that that of last year. Th)s has been disclosed by M.

CUT THIS OUT

OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND HEAD NOISES.

If you know of some one who is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or ordinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of savingsome poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. In England scientists for a long time past have recognized that catarrh is a constitutional disease and necessarily requires 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 disease 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 constitutional treatment and should "prove especially efficacious to sufferers here who live under more . favorable 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 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and hearing improve as the inflammation in the eustachian tubes is reduced. Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces

of the system and . has a 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 noise's or is hard of hearing should give this

treatment a trial. Adv.

oats, beans and potato crops are considerably smaller. "The potato situation is particularly grave, for whereas the average for the last ten years is 12,000,000 long tons, this year the potato crop will not exceed 7,500,000 long tons. Despite this shortage, we must supply the allied troops fighting in our land. We can-
