DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in

deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma-

BETTER TIMES.

Nearly all signs in the business world continue to point to the coming of better times Gold imports have started, though probably the amount to be received will prove only moder- ate. The prospects for another year of great crops are good. Railroad earn ings, notwithstanding rate cutting, are large. The mineral industries are all active. The war has drawn to a tri- umphant close, that, even with the minimum of concessions from Spain, will bring us large and valuable addi- tions of territory and trade. Foreign commerce will be increased, giving more employment and profit to manu- facturers and merchants. The cur rency question has ceased to be an ac- lively disturbing factor, and the new revenue legislation has obscured the tariff question as a threat to business It would seem to be almost inevitable that we should soon enter upon a per iod of prosperity that will make up to us for the lean years we have lately gone through.
