Here In America there is mu eh auf-
ferln* from catarrh and head notaes.
American people would do well to con-
sider the method employed by tho Kn»-
lish to combat this Insidious disease.
Everyone knows how damp the Eni-
Ileh climate is and how dampneaa af-
fects those suffering fH>m catarrh. In
England they treat catarrhal deafness
and head noises as a constitutional dis-
ease and uso an internal remedy for It
tjiat is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch - tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treat-
ment to such an extent-that the tick'of
a watch waa,.plainly audible seven and
eight inches away from either ear.
Therefore, ♦<■ you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
deafness oh head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the meana of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be eas-
ily prepared at home for about T5c and
is made as follows;
From Cunningham Bros., or any good
druggist obtain T oa of Parmint (dou-
ble strength), about 75c worth. Take
this home, and add to it 1-4 pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated sug-
ar; stir until dissolved. Take a table-
spoonful four times a day.
Parmint bi used tn .-this way not only
to reduce by toni« action- thd"’inflam-
mation and swelling in the Eu^Utchian
tubes, and thus .to equalize the air
pressure on .the drum, but to correct
any excess of aecnetions in the m *
ear, and the resuUh it gives are us
remarkably gpicK land effgetivt.ih
Every pereon - who has' catafrh in
any form should give this recipe a trial

NEW YORK, Npv. 13.—Conditions
among the Am-ricnu troops on the Mex-
ican border was the subject of criticism
in a n|eeting of clergyulen thnt preced-
ed the opening of the annual meeting
of the board of foreign missions of the
Methodist Episcopal church here {today.
Dr. S. Parkes Carman, pastor of the
Central Congregational church of Brook-
lyn who went to the border as chaplain
of the Twenty-Third New York Regi-
ment, said:
“Conditions are such now that a gen-
tleman of my calling, I believe, iwould
be unwilling to take a chaplain’* posi-
tion. There should be a higher stand-
ard of chaplains in the army ahd a
weekly attendance at divine service by
soldiers should lie a matter of ‘discipline
and mijjtaiy regulations."
Dr. Carman declared that “if w* were
doing in > this country what Canida is
doing at this moment along military
lines, ye should have ready at any time
11,000.000 men to guard our borders,
-but"undoubtedly have let individualism
become so prominent a feature of our
existence that we still have some way
to go in order to fully realize o*r na-
tionalism.”

WOODROW U
GALVESTON. Nov. 13. -All freight
room on British liners and tramp
steamers was withdrawn from the mar-
ket thia morning as a result of admiral
,ty orders which practically requisition-
ed all British tonnage for carrying grain
and metals. This leaves only neutral
steamers in the market for cargo and
freight rates are advancing accord-
ingly.
Heretofore all British steamer* have
been required to carry one-third grain
or foodstuffs and approximately 50
per cent metal*. The new admiraity
order requires steamers to carrying 50
per cent grain. The grain and metal*
requirements therefore will load steam- A*
era to their marks, leaving no room for
other freight.
While all freight is being refused by
British steamrrs in the gulf, shipping
men here declare that the order affects
all United State* ports and that the
same conditions will apply on the At-
lantic coast.

DE LEON BEST MARKET
FOR HUMDLE PEANUT
DE LEON. Nov. 13.—The largest
shipping point of Spanish peanuts in
the United States was certainly a “nut-
ty city” last Thursday. There were sold
and insured from the farmers’ wagons
on that day $38,000 worth of this pro-
duce, which is making the De l>-on
farmers independent
This is not a ease where they sell
one or two days in the week, and come
in bunched up, for every day is peanut
day_ here, and on Friday the amount
handled amounted to near about the
salne as on Thursday.
To traveling men and others who
happen into our city, the peanut prop-
osition is one of mystery. On account
of shortage in cars, every available
space in the entire eity ia full of nuts
and the buyers find one of the greatcat
difficulties in finding a place to store
them until they ean get cars to ship
ia.
The price the P«t week baa been
holding near the Bl JO mark per bushel,
but the greater part of the time baa
run from |U0 to *146. The fall has
been exceptionally fine for the gath-
ering of the nuts and the greatest part
of the crop baa bean gathered, but there

at the American-Mexican joint confer-
rue* sitting nt Atbntie City.
It waa stated definitely by officiab
in the confidence of the President to-
day that his re-election will mean no
radical change* in any of his policH .
He is said to feel that, in general, his
course has been indorsed by the nation
at the polls. Consequently the adminis-
tration's policy, both in domestic and
foreign affairs, it ia predicted, will re
main practically unchanged, although
M soon as the war ia over tho Presi-

“My ship. registered at New York.”
Mid Captain Curtis to the correspond-
ent, “carried^ a cargo at about 9000 tons
snd a crew of 109. all of whom were

to abandon ship with the crew im-

master's cabin, whore J found the cap-
tain of the Seatonia and the Balto.
After me came Captain Yelugsen of the
"Fordalen.
“The cabin w’a* very small. It con-
tained a little folding table, a fold-
ing chair and three blunks. Everything
was permeated With the odor of ben-
zine. There was no communication with
the exterior and the cabin was absolut.-
ly dark at night and day.
“We were fed in the morning with
a few morsels of blackbread, a cup of
cocoa and a small portion of bad but-’
ter at noon with a stew of carn-d
meat and soup and at 10 o’clock with
coffee or tea and hiackbread with but-

The captain of the submarine, Cap-
tain Curtis Mid, was about 36 years
of age, very, young. All weretfttired in
clothing of glossy leather.
Only One Chair Aboard.
Captains Curtis and Patterson relat-
;ng their experience Mid that they were
allowed at intervals between the oper-
ations of the submarine to go on deck
to smoke. They were watched on deck
by members of the crew armed with re-
volvers, but when they went below the
crew put aside their weapons. There
was only one chair in the cabin, which
the captains used in turn; otherwise
they had to He on the bunks.
The submarine signaled the Swedish
steamer Varing thirteen miles off the
Spanish coast of Camarines toward noon
of Nov. 9. The steamer stopped and
was ordered to take aboard the cap-
tains and land them. She also wm or-
dered to take aboard the crews of the
Columbian and N’orweigian steamers.
All were welcomed aboard the Varing.
The submarine watched the operation
and then ordered the Varing to make
for the coast six miles from Camarines.
The A a ring waa directed to set out life-
boats and embark the shipwrecked men
in them. This waa a long and difficult
operation and an American from the
Columbian fell into the sea and narrow-
ly escaped drowning. He was slightly
injured during his rescue.
