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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when il is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destoyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh. which is nothing but an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars

QUESTION tried to obliterate and failed.
Nothing is 50 hopelessly perennial as
that same spirit. A popular outbreak

the world has gone wrong from drink.
But neither temperance, nor unset.
hshness, nor chastity, nor honor, can
be legisIated into people. The asy.
lums and penitentiaries of Maine and
Iowa are as full as those of any other
state, though the prOhibitionists
claim on the platform that nine.tenths
OF the lunacy and ninety mine one
hundredths Of crime is the direct re.
suit OF the whiskey habit.
1t Is the same thing as the question
Of our childhOod: II God is good and

made impossible. The poor child.
whose liberty and free will is con.
stricted all the time, does not detect
the fine favour Of a virtuOus action
performed while the devil is close at
hand Offering brides for the choice of
evil. Even goodness to be Of worth
must be Of free will and temperance,
which is only part Of goodness, must
be from choice. II the prohibitionists
would consent to use some of their
energy on the salOOnkeeper who breaks
the law by selling to minors and at
unlawful hours, the community could
be dragged sooner to that point where
the evil could. by common consent, be
removed from onr midst. But all the
tremendous and irrepressible, but not
so far, irresistible energy, has ex.
pended itself without strategy on the
points OF greatest strength and the
results are meagre. They will not do
the good they can because OF what
they would.
The execution Of Mrs. Place for a
cold-blooded murder was shocking,
but IL the death penalty is justitiable
at all, 1t was in her case. IfGOvernOr
Roosevelt had pardOned her on the
score of her sex, such an action would
have been condemned by all women
who are not controlled by supersenti.
mentalism, and, after all, they are not
many.
She was not insane when she MUIR
dered her stepdaughter but she was
crazed by jealousy and rage. The long
months Of reflection in cell have re.

lead her to the horrible chair, she

The question is 30 often asked, "What
is the National Council and what good
purpose does it server" We quote the
following from it's ex.preeident, Mrs.
May Wright Sewall:
1T is an organization composed OF ma
tional associations, state councils and
local councils" Mrs. Sewall explained.
Its objects are manifold. First, to
make better known to the general pub.
lie the magnitude and variety Of WON.
ans work for humanity. to the end that
public sympathy with the same may be
increased and more generous public
support secured; to avoid the multipli.
cation of organizations, each with a
special object, and thus to secure ~.
suits at less extravaganza expenditure Of
time, money and force; to bring together
women Of all lines Of work. to the end
that each may be more intelligent re-
specting all the others, and consequ ent.
ly more sympathetic with all others; to
give the united influence of all t.ese
women TO such general lines OF work az
all can heartily agree upon.
"The national council never interferes
with the special lires Of work of the
organization which constitute it, beyond
that OF suggestion and sympathy, 60
that no society voting to enter this coun.
Gil thereby renders itself liable to be
interfeered with 10 respect to it's com.
plete organic unity, independence, or
method OF work.
ITO sum it all up." said Mrs. Sewall.
In conclusion. "the advantages of thu

Shooting ARRAY.

Last Friday night as the cx-
cursion train from Lafayette to
Crowley nearly reached Rayne
the occupants OF a smoking car
were startled by successive loud
reports OF pistol fired on board
After the smoke had cleared a.
way it was found that o. P. Gull
beat justice Of the peace, OF
Carcncro. La. had been shot three
times by Carlton Ogden, of Ope-
lousas.
The details are very meagre as
to how it came about. It seems
that Mr.. Guilbeau was engaged in
heated discussion with a friend of
Mr.. Ogden, and that the latter
one coming UP near them, pulled
out his pistol and shot Mr.. Gull
beau three times, in the arm. in
the leg and grazing his forhead.
The wounded man was put off
at Rayne and conveyed to drug
store where he received medical
attention. Ogden who was ac-
companied BY many Of his friends
continuing to Crowley to witness
the circus performance.
Mrs. Guifbeau and two Of b;s
sisters who were on board the train
did not learn Of the accident until
they nearly reached Crowley.
MIR. Ogden was permitted to see
the circus, after which he was ar
rested by the sheriff
