III one of the smaller magazines.
The Navy Department is greatly
interested in the movement of the
Spanish feet of torpedo boats. A
high official al Key West thinks the
danger to the A American feet is of a
grave character. He expresses the
opinion that immediate action should
be taken, as he thinks under present
conditions the American feet in
those waters would be at the mercy
OF the Spanish vessels.
The indications are that the United
States will regard the seding of the
Spanish aotilla to the West Indian
waters ss an unfrienuly act, unjusti-
fled by present conditions. 1t is not
known that such representations
have been made to Spain, but the
OPINION prevails that sentiment here
has been clearly outlined. Great
activity prevails i'll army and navy
circles all over the country.

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 by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets ipflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result. and unless. the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
