where U-boat commanders apparently
have violated the German govern

Indications from Berlin that the 1m

chief cause of apprehension.
The American embassy in Berlin

1 of Germany’s U-boat p 1 edges, the ulti
matum sent to Germany on April 20,
following the attack in the English
channel on the unarmed steamer Sus
sex, becomes pertinent. The conclud
ing paragraph of that ultimatum reads:
“Unless the imperial governmenl

’ i It 1b stated the ultimatum which the

complete remobilization of Greek
forces, restoration of a censorship and
control of all railways under allied

on Greece may require complete de

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
; deafness, and that is by constltu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mu
j cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which Is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
| catarrh) that cannot be cured by

"LETTERS TO SANTACLAUS
Already a number of letters have
'■ been received by the Banner, from
'ithe children of Cambridge, request
‘ iug their patron saint, Santa Claus,
'i not to overlook them when he leaves
M his home in the North, and with his
’ reindeer and sleigh makes his an
nual visit to the good children of the
land. The jolly old man is now in
his workshop, modeling all sorts of
mechanical toys, dolls, go-carts,
sleds, and other things to gladen the
hearts of the children. He is also
trimming the beautiful trees of pine,
cedar and fir, with tinsel and orna
ments to adorn the homes of the lit
tle ones.
But there is one condition on
which Santa visits homes, and that is
that the children must be good. He
does not like naughty or disobedient
boys and girls. Evidently all the
kiddies know this, for goodness
reigns supreme in the land of child
hood about two weeks before Christ
mas.
Throughout the letters, coming to
this office before the holiday season,
runs a vein of kindness and consid
eration for the children who are
poor and sick. The little tots in
variably ask that their parents and
grandparents, their teachers and
their pets receive something from
Santa’s pack. The hearts of children
are indeed generous.

you run and stop it or go and help
to put out the fire? It is much the
same way with a cough. A cough
is a danger signal as much as a fire
bell. You should no more try to
suppress it than to stop a fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure
the disease that causes the coughing.
This can nearly always be done by
taking Chamberlain’s Cough Reme
dy. Many have used it with tVs
most beneficial results. It is espe
cially valuable for the persistent
cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind.,
writes: “During the wonter my hus
band takes cold easily and coughs
and coughs. Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and you
cannot get him to take any other.”

’ j report and declared the office vacant.
> The decision was handed down by
Judge J. F. B. Hause, and was concur

KNOW IT WELL
Familiar Features Well Known to
Hundreds of Cambridge Citizens.
A familiar burden in many homes,
j The burden of a “bad back.”
A lame, a weak or an aching back
Often tells you of kidney ills.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
j Here is Cambridge testimony.
I Mrs. M. E. Townsend, 104 Vue de
L’Eau St., Cambridge, says: “I suf
fered from a severe siege of back
ache and my kidneys were disorder
ed. My back gave me considerab’e
pain, especially when I had to bead
, over. Sharp pains caught me in the
I small of my back and were a source
of annoyance. My kidneys were ioo
frequent in action, also. Through
the newspapers I learned of Doan’s
Kidney Pills and used two or three
boxes, procured at Bradshaw’s Phar
macy. I was greatly benefited and
I have been troubled very little
since.”
