NOSE CLOGGED FROM
A COLD OR CATARRH
Apply Cream in Nostrils To
Open Up Air Passages.
Ah I What relief! Your clogged
nostrils open right up, the air pas
sages of your head are clear and you
can breathe freely. No more hawk
ing, snuffling, mucous discharge, head
ache, dryness no struggling for
breath at night, your cold or catarrh
is gone.
Don't stay stuffed up! Get a small
bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from
your druggist now. Apply a little of
this fragrant, antiseptic cream in
your nostrils, let it penetrate through
every air passage of the head; soothe
and heal the swollen, inflamed mucous
membrane, giving you instant relief.
Ely's Cream Balm is just what every
cold and catarrh sufferer has been
seeking. It's just splendid. Adv.
Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most, if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three of four more ap
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. Adv. .
Hairs Will Vanish
After This Treatment
(Toilet Helps)
You can keep your skin free from
hair or fuzz by the occasional use
of plain delatone, and in using it you
need have no fear of marring or in
juring the skin. A thick paste is
made by mixing some of the pow
dered delatone with water. Then
spread on the hairs and after 2 or 3
minutes rub off, wash the skin and
all traces of hair have vanished. Be
careful, however, to get real delatone.

How to Select Cleanser
That Won't Ruin Teeth
Most persons are themselves to blame
for bad teeth and sums because of Ignor
ing four vital facts: 1. Unwholesome teeth,
Injured gums, invite germs by million. 2.
"Grit" in a dentifrice la necessary to keep
teeth perfectly clean, free from slalns, tar
tar, etc. 3. Paste, cream, powder or I'fjuld
without grit Is useless, or Injurious if de
pendent far cleansing property upon power
ful acid V alkaline substance which eats
enamel away, 4. Insoluble grit Is dangerous;
thousands of tiny, sharp particles get un
der gums at necks of teeth. Into pyorrhea
"pockets," serving as sources of Irritation,
Inflammation, infection.
So simple a thing as soluble avatol cleans
teeth thoroughly, removing discoloration,
polishing them beautifully, yet without any
harmful result. The grit in avatol entirely
dissolves a minute after entering the mouth
does not remain to Inflame the gums,
encourage Dyorrhea. etc. (It la a germ de

its solubility, put a brusbful Into a small
bottle of water see how completely it dis
solves, leaving no sediment! You'll be glad
to known you can get a tube of soluble
avatol from your druggist for 26 cents-

Washington, March 13. News was
received heru that both houses of the

the government's policy to break with
Germany. A report from Peking dated
Sunday said the government was ex
pected to break off relations Monday.
i he appeal by the former president,

from trying to bring China into the

AMERICAN PATROLS
IN CUBANSTATIONS
Marines and Bluejackets Are in
Other Places Besides the
Port of Santiago.
SITUATION IN THE INTERIOR
Santiago, Cuba, March 13. From
his base at Guantanamo Admiral
Henry T. Mayo, commander of the
United States Atlantic fleet, received
reports today from at least five Cu
ban shore stations where American
forces have been landed. From none
of them, however, came any evidence
that the putting ashorj of the Ameri
cans was the beginn'ng of interven
tion. Five hundred marines and bluejack
ets are in Santiago patrolling the city,
while smaller detachments are doing
similar duty in Guantanamo, Manzan
illo and Neuvitas. The only interior
station where American meno'-wars-nien
have been placed is El Combre
mine, a few miles from Santiago. The
Americans here have been careful not
,to interfere in the least particular
with the conduct of the civil govern
ment, the officials appointed by the
liberals before the evacuation of the
city by their troops remaining in con
trol. Situation in Interior.
Just what the situation is in the
interior is not known by the Ameri
cans. The government advance forces,
commanded by Pablo and Fausto
Menocal, brothers of President Meno
cal, arrived at San Luis today, which
was evacuated yesterday by General
Comacho, after brief fighting in which
there were a few casualties. Rigo
berto Fernandez, with his force of
rebels, is at Songo, southeast of San
Luis. This district is about 20 miles
north of Santiago. The Menocal
brothers said they would await re
inforcements before advancing fur
ther. The banks here remain closed
under orders from their main offices.
It is thought that the most practical
reason for the closing of the banks is
that much of the funds have been
withdrawn by depositors, and that
all the government funds, something
in excess of $800,000 have been taken
by the rebels.
Ceasei to Be Closed Port.
Santiago ceased to be a closed port
yesterday. The Cuban gunboat Ma
tanzas, which had been at the mouth
of the harbor for two days, left this
morning for Guantanamo. It had not
been permitted to enter Santiago by
Commander Reginald R. Belknap,
commanding the American naval
forces, who has the mine layer San
Francisco and the cruiser Olympia in
the harbor.

Washington, March 13. The retail

Tariff Upon Indian
Cotton Goods Will
Precipitate Battle
London, March 13. The ew Lloyd
George government will meet the
first difficult hurdle in the House
of Commons Wednesday when Par
liament will be asked to authorize
a new policy in Indian affairs, plac
ing a protective duty on cotton goods.
Special preparations are being made
by all parties in anticipation of a
critical division.
The reply of J. Austen Chamber
lain, secretary for Indian affairs, to
a deputation representing all sections
of the Lancashire cotton industry to
day seemed to imply that the govern
ment intended to stand fast by its
decision, in which case there would
be a straight fight between the pro
tectionists and free traders in Parlia
ment and at the moment it is im
possible to foresee the result, the or
dinary party cleavages being dis
turbed by the war. Mr. Chamberlain
appealed to the Lancashire deputa
tion, saying that India's financial as
sistance in the war is needed and that
the members ought, in a spirit of
patriotism, waive their objections to
the cotton duties, which were required
to enable India to meet the interest
on the war loan.

Seattle, Wash., , March 13. In re

November S, when two members of a

W. R. Booth, a member of the posse,
testified at the trial in the superior
court here today, of Thomas H.
Tracy, accused of murder of Deputy
Sheriff Beard, that on last October 30,
he and other citizens escorted a party
of "free speech" advocates to Bev
erley Park, a suburb of Everett, and
that while he did not participate in
beating the captives, he heard from
subsequent reports that they were
made to run a gauntlet of clubs,
wielded by their captors, and then
were warned not to return to Everett.
Smuts Would Not Give
Up the African Colonies
London, March 13. Lieutenant
General Jan Christian Smuts, former
commander of the expedition against
the German forces in East Africa,
and who recently was made a privy
councillor, arrived in England today.
General Smuts said the campaign
in East Africa is virtually ended and
that the operations against the rem
nants of the Germans will be under
taken by native troops, as white
troops are unable to stand the climate
long. He said East Africa is enor

declared the mere suggestion that

many is preposterous.

French Gain in Champagne and
British Advance on Their
Front in France.
TURK GUNS FLUNG IN TIGRIS
(By AaaocUlod rreae.)
Again the French and British war
offices record gains against the Ger
mans in France. Striking in the
Champagne region on a front of 1,500
meters, west of Maisons de L'ham-
pagne, the trench recaptured all the
positions previously taken by the
Germans on Rid Re 185 and also in
vaded a German fortihed work. One
hundred prisoners were taken in the
operation. In the Woevre region,
near Seicheprey, a raid on a German
trench was successfully carried out,
while attacks by the Germans be
tween Soissons and Rheims were re
pulsed. The British entered German
trenches near Bouchavesnes, north of
Peronne, and also carried out raids
successfully south of Arras. In the
latter sector the German positions
were bombed and many casualties
were inflicted on their occupants.
Two Stories of Air Battle.
Heavy artillery activity is in prog
ress in the Ancre and Somme sec
tors, according to Berlin. The Ger
man war office reports the stopping
of a French attack south of Kipont,
in Champagne, and also the destruc
tion of sixteen entente airplanes and
two captive baloous in attacks by the
Germans, The London war office
announces that nine German ma
chines were brought down or driven
down damaged, and admits that five
British machines are missing.
On the other fronts, except in
Mesopotamia and Persia, where it is
assumed that both the British and
Russians are still harrassing the
Turks, only minor operations have
been reported. As yet the full de

Standing.
After a long period of suffering
with liver and bowel trouble that
brought on piles, during which she
had tried many remedies without ob
taining relief, Mrs. Mary J. Jewell of
Berrien Springs, Mich., heard of Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and obtained
a bottle from her druggist. This sim

brought almost immediate relief and
Mrs. Jewell wrote to Dr. Caldwell
about her case.
In her letter Mrs. Jewell says, "I
had tried so many things for the piles,
without being helped at all, I had
about given up hope of ever being any
better. I knew it was the condition
of my bowels that caused them, and
after I had taken a bottle of your
