Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot 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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the EustacGlian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the information 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 in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Every organ of the body is liable to
catarrh. Symptoms of catarrh differ &C.
cording to the part affected. If the
catarrh is confined to tho nose the symp-
toms will be sneezing and mucus dis
charges, or the formation of dry scabs,
corresponding to the stage of the dis
ease.
When in the pharynx it causes hawk
ing, enlarged follicles and tonsils, and
sometimes deafness. In the larynx 1t
produces hoarseness, and often loss of
voice. AS soon as it reaches the trachea

MONTEVALLO NEEDS
BUILDING MONEY
Work on the Auditorium Tenn
porariIy Stopped.
TEACHERS CHRISTMAS GIFT
Superintendent OF Education Has For
warded the Quarterly Pay to All
the Counties Nearly a
Week in Advance
TEACHERS CHRIS TMAS GIFT

Age-Herad Bureau, Hotel MADISON, Mont
gomery. December 2S.-(special.)- On ac-
count of the lack of funds, work on the
auditorium of the Girls Industrial Institute
at Montevallo has been practically sus-
pended. The building committee of the
school met in Montevallo yesterday to look
INTO the matter of continuing the work on
the building, but they found that the whole
of the $4,000 appropriated by the last legis-
lature had been expended in the work, and
on account of the delay in receiving the
title to the lands granted by the last con-
gress and the sale of the same, no funds
We're accessible for use.
Governor Johnston had been given power
to borrow the money, but he had not Sc
cured loan up to yesterday. He telegraph
ed the board yesterday that he would make
an effort to secure the money while in New
York. 1t will require about $4,000 to COM
plete the work.
Senator C. W. Thompson. of Tuskegee,
who is member of the building committee,
in an earnest effort to have the work con-
tinued, offered to personally endorse for
the required amount if Captain Plowman
and Senator Moody would join with him.
Senator Thompson further offered to lend
the school $4,000 If the other members of
the committee would endorse the paper.
Neither of the others would agree to this.
The work is now at a standstill, with the
walls of the building about one-third COM
pleted. The board determined to complete
the presidents residence, Senator Thomp-
son agreeing to furnish the necessary mon
ey for this work without charge of interest.
Just when the work will again Zoe taken up
on the main building cannot be stated, as
1t may have to wait for the next legisa-
ture to offer relief.
The Montevallo school is doing as good
work as any institution the state has ever
controlled, and it is matter of very gen.
eral regret that a home is not to be imme-
diately furnished for 800 girls, who are
boarding in private families in the little
town of Montevallo.
