HOW 1T CURES
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS

Here is another patient who for years had been
a sufferer Every fresh cold seemed 10 stay longer
than former colds. and he noticed that his ears
got stopped up and his hearing became duller and
in his ears. The catarrh had passed upward and
backward from the throat along the eustachian
tubes leading from the throat into the ear He
had visited throat doctors and ear doctors and
catarrh doctors without relief In this condition
we find him inhaling the never failing medication,
and soon he notices a change. The noises in the
ear stop, there is no more discharge, the hearing
gets better and finally the tubes OF the ears open
up and something seems TO give way in the head.
His hearing had completely returned. No wonder
he considers the result marvel.

command rendered him by Gen. Harris.
1t is the intention of Lieut.. Field, in
recruiting this organization, 10 enlist as
many telegraph operators and linemen
as can be secured, the services Of these
specialists being peculiarly valuable in an
organization Of this character, retaining
also as many of the members of the
present organization, recently Company

The command will be equipped and
mounted as light cavalry, and will afford
unusual advantages TO ambitious young
soldiers.

'ZAZA.'-"Zaza." David Be,ascos new
play, is already exciting unusual interes.
ZaZa is an adap alton from the French.
Beiasco has done excellent work in the
past his military play, THE Heart of
Maryland being one of the most success
ful OF recent years. 1t is quite easy 10 be-
leVe, therefore, that in his adaptation Mr..
Belasco Will give us as great a play as that
given Berlin in German, or Paris in the
original. The pubic Will expect that much
and be satisfied with no less. 1t is quite
different with Mrs. Carter. The part Of
the heroine, which she viii play, runs the
whole gamut of human affections. She
night as Bernhardt. She is first a concert
hall singer of the toughest kind and ends
a great emotional actress refined and wo-
manly. Mr.. David Beiasco in adapting
'ZaZa' from the French has closely adj
hered to the original. He has taken no
liberties whatever with the story itself,
and he believes he has found in Mrs Car
ter the best actress speaking the Engl sh
language to play the heroine. The iirst
production takes place at the Lafayette
Square Opera House on December 26
