WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principle Cause is Durable but Gen
erallv Over looked.

Many things may cause deafness, and
very often it is difficult to trace a cause.
Some people inherit deafness. Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness. But by far the most common
cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the
head and throat.
A prominent specialist on ear trou-
bles gives as his opinion that nine out of
ten cases of deafness are traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstated but
it is certainly true that more than half
of all cases of poor hearing were caused
by eatarrh.
The catarrhal secretion in the nose and
throat finds it's way into the Eustachian
tube and by clogging it up very soon af-
fects the hearing and the hardening of
the secretions makes the loss of hearing
permanent, unless the catarrh which
caused the trouble is cured
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this little far fetched. but any
one at all observant must have noticed
how a hard cold in the head will affect
the hearing and that catarrh if long neg
lected will certainly impair the sense Of
hearing and ultimately cause deafness.
and free from the unhealthy secretions
of catarrh, the hearing will at once great
ly improve and anyone suffering from
deafness and catarrh can satisfy them
selves on this point by using a fifty cent
box of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. a new
catarrh cure, which in the past year
has won the approval of thousands of ca
tarrh sufferers as we'll as physicians,
because it is in convenient form to use.
contains no cocaine or opiate, and is as
safe and pleasant for children as for their
elders.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is a whole
some combination of Blood root, GuaiacoI,
Encalyptol and similar antiseptics and
they cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness
by action upon the blood and mucous
membrane of the nose and throat.
AS one physician aptly expresses it.:
"You do not have to draw upon the i'm
agnation to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets; Improvement and relief are APP
parent from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package and any catarrh sufferer who
has wasted time and money on sprays,
salves and powders will appreciate to the
full the merit of Stuarts Catarrh Tab

LARGEST ARMoR PLATE.

What is probably the largest single
armor plate is to be used in the construc-
ton of the battleship Wisconsin. The
plate will become the port plate of a
turret on the vessel. and is being cut at
an angle instead of being the arc of a
circle, the idea being to better defect a
shot. What the armor plate is to a bat
tleship, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
to the stomach. 1t resists the attaclts Of
constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia, bill
iousness, and prevents malaria fever and
ague. 1t will restore a weak stomach to
normal condition. Any one troubled with
the above ailments will do well to try the
Bitters at once For fifty years it has
stood alone while its many imitators have
fallen.

Jobbers Carry the Stores.

The few large jobbers have to carry
the plantation store in many cases. and
the smaller dealers in almost all cases
have TO wait long periods for their
pay. 1t would be manifestly I'M
fair TO trade. therefore. if Ameri-
can manufacturers were TO sell these
very small concerns direct. or at
export rates, particularly when such
sales would not or could not by any pos
sible means increase the business as a
whole to the extent of a single dollar in
year"
Continuing, Mr.. Lowell says 'All
the conditions in the islands are very pc
culiar, and must be carefully considered.
but we do not think that approaching
the retailers in the islands and giving
them wholesale prices is at all advanta-
geous to tie producers. and certainly can
in the islands.
There are only few towns in the
Sandwich Islands that can support a
store: the majority of the stores are more
or less owned or controlled by large i'm
porters in Honolulu. In fact. they are
really plantation stores. and as such are
supplied with goods by the jobbing houses
that cary them. from one crop to another
Consumption Very Small.
There are few independent stores.
but their number. as compared with the
other kind is very small. Now if you
were to sell this small proportion of indie
pendent stores goods as cheaply as you
will sell in quantities to the importers in
Honolulu. you will demoralize the retail
prices and not increase the consumption
If goods the least fraction.
People have mistaken idea as to the
consuming population of the islands. 1t
really very small. and the business
there is much better left in the hands of
the large importing houses in Honolulu.
These houses. supplying SO many small
stores as they do. their orders are really
large in the aggregate. but it would not
pay any manufacturer TO solicit orders
from the small number of independent
stores
This is not only our opinion. but it
outlines the policy we follow in our deal
ings with the Hawaiian Islands,
