Gen. Miles said that consideration
had been given to the question of the
cost of the road.
''While the highway will be national
in character" he continued, sit does
not necessarily follow that congress
must appropriate the money necessary
to build it. The legislatures of the sew
eral states through which the roads
mass can enact laws appropriating
money for the construction and main
tenance of the roads within the boun-
aries of their respective states. the
termini to connect with the highway
built in the adjoining states. Thus the
maintenance of the road would be a
matter of state as well as national
pride. and. besides adding to the at
tractiveness of the country. would be of
general benefit to the state and its in
habitants In several sections of the
country there are roads already con-
structed which could form part of the
general system. and. wherever possible.

New Condensinr Process.

A patent has been issued in Ger
many covering a process of conGens-
ing milk by freezing and thawing it
in a centrifugal separator when in
motion. The work is said to be rem
dered easier by first separating the
cream and condensing the skim milk,
after which it is mixed with the
cream. 1t is claimed for this kind of
condensed milk that it can be again
diluted to its original volume. and
also that it does not have the sweet
taste to which some people object in
the condensed milk we now use. How
ever. the mere patenting of a process
does not prove its utility and we may
have to wait indefinitely for a demon
stration of its value.

SETTING TIRES.
The Old Way of Shrinking Them On
and the Modern Way of
Pressing Them.

The old way of putting tire on
wheel was to shrink it on. The tire
was made just trifie smaller than the
wheel, and then heated, with the result
of expanding it slightly. When thus
heated it was crowded down over the
rim of the wheel, and then cooled with
water, to keep it from burning the
wheel and also to contract it; cooling,
it was shrunk on, to bind the wheel
tightly. The modern way of putting a
tire on a wheel is with a hydraulic tire
setting press.
By this method the tire is made just
trifie larger than the wheel, so that
it will go over the rim freely. The bed
of this press, upon which the wheel lies
horizontally, with an opening at the
center for the hub, is composed of IS
sections, radiating from the center and
in shape like the spaces between the
spokeS of a wheel. The outer end of
each section is turned upward the
turned-up ends making a continuous
flange or collar, all around the bed of
the press. Each one of the sections has
under it hydraulic cylinder. and the
sections are all arranged to work to a
common center. In use the wheel is
laid on the press with the cold tire
around it. within that turned-up collar
or flange. around the edge. When the
press is set in operation the collar or
fiange is irresistibly contracted. When
it comes in contact with the tire
around the wheel it does not bring up
against it. but keeps on contracting
just the same. now contracting the tire
as well. and setting it upon the wheel.
the pressure being continued until the
wheel itself is brought to the requisite
degree of dishing.

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 mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have 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 its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
