THE PEOPLES LAMPS.

Professor Frank Parsons, lecturer in
the Boston University Law School, has
made statistical study of the question
of lighting cities by electricity which
is worth good deal more than the cost
of the June Arena in which it appears
1t is the most striking, although inof-
fensive looking, economic document
which has ever been put into the hands
of American citizens and taxpayers,
who find every form of public service
so costly because politicians and ring
sters must live high. Professor Par
sons makes very few critical comments,
but his authenticated tabulated state
ments are damning evidence of corrup-
ton and bribery and robbery in NUM-
cipal councils. Taking the returns of
the city engineers and the census,
Professor Parsons finds the most extra
ordinary comparisons in the cost of
lighting. The comparative cost of
lighting in cities, all within short
distance of each other in the same
State, is extraordinary and instructive.
1t shows that what governs the cost of
electric lighting is a law higher than
any known to communicative law of
pickings and stealings, as interpreted
by our political bosses.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused ~ an
intlamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed 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
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but IN inhamed condition Of the
