For Good Roads.

Now that spring has opened, the work
begun last fall upon Maryland roads by
the State geological survey will be car
ried ahead as fast as co operation upon
the part of the counties can be secured.
During the past winter season, when
outdoor work was impossible, the high
way division utilized its time in testin =
and experimenting upon some of Mary
lands road material Several quarrics
have sent specimens of stone to be tested,
particularly various grades of limestone.
The cementing and abrading quality of
each sample sent has been accurately
made.
Dr. johnson said Tuesday that the let
tiers which had been sent to the various
boards of county commissioners last fall
will be followed shortly by special letters

will accept the proffers of the survey to
teach them how to build their highways
upon approved scientific principles.

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 inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
intlamed condition of the mucous sur
