WAR RELIC TRAINS
GREETED BY CROWDS
Many Buy Liberty Bonds When They
See Horrors Of German Militar
ism As Shown By Exhibits
Now Touring District
Atlanta.—The two gpecial war relic
trains being operated though the Sixth
Federal Reserve District by the Liber
ty Logn Committee to. stimulate n
terest in ‘the third bond issue are be
ing greeted with enthusiasms at @v
ery stop, according to reports from
the superintendents or board. These
trains left Atlanta om April 6, one to
tour Tennessee, Georgia and Florida,
the other to visit points in Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
Each train carries a baggage Car
and two flat cars laden with relics
from the field of battle. Among the
relics are parts of aeroplanes which
have taken part in some of the moust
thrilling fights of the war; huge can
nons; hand grenades; shells, helmets
and a vast collection of photographs
showing German atrocities in France
and Belgium. The exhibits were col
lected through the War Department.
Some of them were captured from the
Germans: others were contributed by
the French and British armies.
Many Buy Bonds.
The Government decided to operate
the special trains to stimulate interest
in the Liberty Loan, although the
great demand for transvortation equip
ment has caused a shortage of cars.
Thig is -an evidence of the seriougness
with which the need for money to
finance the war is viewed by Govern
ment officials.
At every station the trains have
been visited by thousands of people.
The farmers especially have been at
tracted by the exhibit which brings
home to them for the first time, in
some instances, tRe horrors of this
war. Thousands of dollars have been
subgeribed by visitors to the trains,
showing how the evidences of battle
have impressed the people.
Those In Charge.
The trains will be operated through
out the campaign and will stop only
at the small towns. They are under
the direction of the publicity orgzani
zation of which St. Elmo Massengale
is director. W. R. C. Smith, of Atlan
ta, ig di.octly in charge of the eper:
ation of the trains. ‘
The farmer’s plea that he has not}
bought Liberty Bonds because he is
helping his country by speeding up
food production will not stand. Every
manufacturer who is making supplies
for the army and navy is doing as
much. They're buying bouds, too. . |

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There (8
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining af
the Rustachian Tube. When this tube {8
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect 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, henrln%
will be destroyed forever. Many cases 0
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medleine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system,
