BATTLEsH1P TYPE AGREED ON.
5oard OF Construction Designs Two
Powerful Vessels of War.

The plans for the two heaviest and
most powerful battIeships projected for
the United States Navy were completed
by the Naval Board on Construction yes
terday. These are the vessels which Con
gress directed the Navy Department to
design. and the plans will be sent to the
Naval Committees of the Senate and the
House at an early day with a recommen-
dation from Secretary Long that author
ity be given to build them and an addi-
tional one of similar type.
At the meeting of the board Thursday
the much discussed question of the ar
rangement of the battery OF these fOrmi-
dable armor clads were arranged amicably.
An agreement was reached that there
should be no superposed turrets, as the
minority of the board wanted, but that
the other main features of the minoritys
battery should be retained At yester-
days meeting the remaining parts of the
battery were arranged and all details
concerning the vessels were agreed to by
a unanimous vote.

CAUSE 0F DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re
Gently Discovered.

1t has been stated on good medical
authority that nine-tenths of cases of
deafness are caused from catarrh or frGm
sore throat trouble.
The little tube which leads to the ear
from the throat is lined with sort Of
velvety structure called mucous mem
brane. This membrane is simply a con-
tinuation of the mucous membrane lining
The throat When disease of any sort
attacks the mucous membrane OF the
throat it is very liable to extend into
the Eustachian tube and up into the ear.
The history of nearly all cases of deaf
ness is like this: A cold is contracted ard
neglected other colds are taken, the
throat becomes sore and inflamed which
is aggravated by particles of dust and
germs from the air. This condition causes
the disease is spread into the tube that
leads to the ear.
1t seems little far-fetched TO say that
most cases Of deafness are caused from
ca.arrh, but it is certainly true, and
anyone who has had a severe catarrhal
cold must have noticed how the hearing
was affected while the cold lasted.
With catarrh sufferers this impairment of
hearing becomes chronic and grows worse
the longer the catarrh is neglected
You can cure eatarrh and deafness by
the regular use OF an excellent new prep
aration called Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
composed of autiseptic remedies which
act not Only on the MUCOUS membranes but
principally and most effectually on the
blood. eliminating the catarrhal poison
from the system.
People whose hearing is defective may
think it little remarkable that simple
and harmless tablet would very often re-
move all traces of Deafness but when it
is remembered that catarrh causes the
deafness and that the catarrh is easily
cured by the regular use OF Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets there is no mystery about
it.
If you are subject to nasal catarrh or
catarrh of throat, bronchial tubes, or
catarrh of stomach and liver. the safest
and most effective treatment is the new
eatarrh specific, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
