condition Of affairs is to offer bounties for
wheat, and thus increase the area OF culti-
walton and product 1t is said, however,
that this would not be an effective remedy,
as it would take an addition of seven
million acres to raise the needed wheat,
and this could not be spared without so
reducing the pasture land as to cause
meat famine. Thus it appears it would
be impossible for England to supply her
population with both meat and bread if
her vessels were prevented from freely
crossing the seas.
Another plan which has been discussed
is to establish immense state granaries in
which the millions of bushels of wheat
necessary to Withstand a siege could be
stored. 1t is said in objection to this that
the quality of the grain would rapidly de-
cline when placed in the warehouses, and
furthermore the plan would have the prac-
teal effect of making the buying and SELL
ing of wheat and consequently the fixing
OF the price state function. Such pre-
cedent established in the grain market, it
Is feared, would soon extend the system
to other products and the result would be
an economic error OF disastrous proper
tons.
The latest remedy suggested is that the
English Government should insure mer-
chant vessels III the event OF war. All
other proposed remedies would affect only
the British Islands, but the wisdom OF
this last proposition might be discussed in
Its application to all nations. The espe-
clal interest which the question has for
England lies in the danger that immedi-
ately upon the declaration of war with
some powerful nation the rates of marine
insurance would go up so high as to make
commerce in British ships impossible,
State insurance would be a remedy for
that to some extent, but here again the
objection is urged that it would be Gov
eminent interference with private trade.
We can pleasantly contrast our condi-
ton with that of England, inasmuch as
we will be able to fight out any quarrel we
may get into without the danger of starva-
ton. We sympathize with the British
masses in the peril OF hunger that hangs
constantly over them, but it is, perhaps,
well for the world that nation 50 pow
erful and having such natural agrees
siveness and love of domination should
be compelled, as it were, TO give Its entire
population as hostages for good behavior.

The announcement that Rockefeller will
sell his stately new home on the Hudson
rather than pay taxes on it is an illustra-
ton of the contradictions which exist in
the human mind. Rockefeller thinks
nothing of giving away a million for
"philant hropy," but he will not pay his
taxes so long as there is a possible means
of avoiding it. About the only effective
way to deal with such a man is to send
him to Jail for cheating The Government
and then present him with an Illuminated
vote of thanks for his generosity to the
people.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucuS lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing,
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 an infiamed
condition of the mucuS surfaces.
We will give Cne Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
