MAC COLONEL
TO FIGHT AGAIN
LONDON. Jan. 22. Tho story of
a colonel ot Australian Infantry who
was wounded In the Gallipoll cam
palgn and sent back to Australia but
who concealed his rank and re-enllst
ed as a private to serve with the Aus
trallans In France has added to the
esteem In which Australians are held
In London. Colonel Charles Melville
Macnagliteu, the hero ot the story,
Is hailed as a man of gallantry and
grit.
Ho was the son ot Sir Alolvllle Mac
naghten, chief of the criminal Inves
tigation department ot Scotland

Judge William L. Colvie and daueh
ter. Mrs. Gale, who reside on Laurel
near West Main, for mnnv mo"'h
prodded tlio ndniimstrntion to eon
demn the structures and order the;
removal, until the council finally or
dered the owner to either remove the
dwelling or else the fire chief would
tear it down. The structure has just
been removed, hence the cake pre
scntntion; However, the old photo
graph shack still stands.
XJio cake Was so good that the
ninvor and councilmen. hungering for
another one, while their mouths were
still full, began talking about re.
moving the shack from the corner.
It stands on leased ground and the
owner has moved to another state.
"Movesh He eodcil orderesh de
i shack removesh." said Councilman
Qnddis with a mounthful of cuke.
. "Uh uh." was the prompt chorus
of the cake consuming mayor and
councilmen.
, - Along with tho cake Mrs. Gale sent
the fullow-intr rhyme addressed to
Mavor Gates:
Now tliat the war is over,
And the house on Main street is gone,
The Kaiser and I have decided to et
The world in peace roll on. ,
My thanks to you and your bench
men,
This means of sending. I take.
It may give you bad indigestion.-..
But there's no ground class in this
. rake.
Xow, if you and the citv attorney
Will remove that other eve-sore. .
I'll bake you a better cake than this
And agree to haunt you no more.
It is worthy of mention that Mrs.
Gale's trust in the council was justi
fied, as she received back today the
fine plate and silver knife which she
had sent with the cake.
The council passed the ordinance
fixing the water rates to be paid by
all industrial concerns and factories
of tho city. Each concern of that
"kind starting np is to get free water
the first year. The ordinance stipu
latcs a charge of 10 cents a thousand
gallons and the council was unani
mouslv agreed that the charge would
be enforced and collected hereafter.
It wns said that a number of indus
trial concerns in the past conven
iently forgot all about their water
bills.
Contrary, to expectation the mayor
d;d not announce his appointments
to various citv positions. In expln
nation after the meeting be said,
"wo'll just wait a little while vet."
These appointments are usually made
when a netf administration goes into
power, and the present administration
went into office three weeks ago.

mand ot the first brigade which land
ed at Amac Cove on Oalltpolt penin
sula. Within two days ho was
wounded three times. After recovery
In England he returned to Gallipoll
and led his battalion In their immor
tal charge at Lone Pine.
After tho evacuation of Gallipoll
he served for a time In Egypt and
was sent from there to England suf
fering from wounds and fever. Sur
geons refused him permission to re
turn to active service and he was
sent to Australia as second In com
mand of an Australian . training
camp.
One day he slipped away from the
camp and joined a replacement bat
tallon in Queensland under the name
of Charles Melville and soon after
ward was back in England training
on Salisbury Plain as Private Mel
ville. He was quickly promoted to
be corporal and one day was asked
toy his commanding officer, "Corpor
al, do you think you could drill this
company?" Having commanded
brigade, the corpora! put the com'
pany thru its paces like the veteran
he was.
Back in France again ha was rec
ognized by officers who had known
him in Gallipoll as the daring and
brilliant soldier they had called
"fighting Mac." General Blrdwood,
with whom he h'ad served at Lone
Pine, sent for him and gave him
commission. Not long afterwards
Colonel Macnaghten was again sent
as an Invalid to England where he
was summoned to Buckingham Pal-
ace to receive from the king a decor
ation as a Companion of the Order
of 8t. Michael and St. George which
had been conferred upon him several
years before for his gallantry at Gal
lipoll. While serving in the ranks in
France as "Corporal Melville' he had
been personally congratulated by the
commanding general for . valor at
Messlnes Ridge.
Macnaghten s fighting days are
over now and he is compelled to rec
ognize this fact for, as one of his
men put it, "he is riddled like a col
ander and it is only his fighting
spirit which keeps him alive.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
MAY BE OVERCOME
If you have Catarrhal Deaf
ness or are even just a little
hard ot hearlnR or have head
noises ko to your druggist and
got 1 ounco of Parmint (doublo
strength), and add to It 4
pint of hot water and a little
granulated sugar. Take 1 table
spoonful four times a day.
This will often bring quick
relief from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy
and the mucus stop dropping
into the throat, it is easy to
prepare, costs llttio and is
pleasant to take. Anyone los
ing hearing or who has Catar
rhal Deafness or head noises
should give this prescription a
trial.
