DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfecU hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition Of the

One day when the elder Boot

Baltimore, years ago, he escaped
from his keeper and got gloriousl,
drunk. He was to play Richar(
Ill, and when he came upon the
stage he showed so plainly his
condition that the audience Kissed
him. Strengthening himself up, he
said, "Ladies and Gentlemen il

farce proceed the tragedy | will

The Reciprocity Convention at
Washington has given US the
farce and now we patiently wait to

tragedy.
The outcome of this convention,
secured by minority, we'll in
hand, composed of members Of the
Manufacturers Club of Philadel-
phia, shows pretty plainly what a
we'll organized minority can do
against an unorganized majority.
The American Manufacturers
asked. "May we not have Reel
procity?" 'Why surely" replied
the Committee on resolutions, on

listing conditions"
If anything could be more ludi-
crous than the extinction of the
three hundred delegates con-
posing this convention we have

A decision has been rendered by a
British Columbia Judge which may
bring CONSERVATION to numerous
stockholders in that country who
have purchased mining shares of
companies at less than the par value.
His decision is to the effect that if a
party buys stock direct from a com
pany at less than par, that the pur-
chaser is liable for the difference. If
the par value is ST a share and but
10 cents was paid for it, the holder is
liable for the difference of 80 cents
a share. Of course there is no liabil-
ity unless the company has an indeb-
edness. However, if the stock is
purchased second-handed, this deci-
sion does not apply. A similar deci-
sion was rendered by a Montana
judge several years ago in the case OF
the Fourth Of July Mining Com
pany, which cost a Butte mining
man nearly $2O,OOO.- Newport
Miner.
1t may have the effect Of curtailing
the amount of worthless stock that i
annually placed upon the market
this side Of the line by sleek British
Columbians that are never intended
to pay dividends.

The Aberdeen Bulletin says that
out of eight criminal cases there
were no convictions at the late spe-
cial term of the superior court
There was just one criminal case
tried at the last term Of court and
there was no conviction for the sim
pie reason that the Aberdeen author
tiles allowed the guilty man to escape
and arrested the first men they hap
pened to meet at the scene Of the
crime. Furthermore, it is said that
the man who did the cutting which
resulted in the death of his victim
made his escape from the scene of
the crime through a restaurant,
where one or more Aberdeen officers
were seated at the tables.-The vi

In King county we do not have to

changed conditions.

The supreme court of Missouri has
decided that the pure food law, en-
acted two years ago, is constitutional
This law prohibits the use of alum
in baking powders and kindred com
binations. The decision settles the
legality Of the law, but not the JUS
tice, equity or good sense of the
Legislature in passing it,. The i'm
.pudence Of the baking powder trust
in demanding such an enactment is
only equalled by the stupidity of the
representatives who complained with
their designs. An insult is offered
to congress in asking it to pass a
measure Of similar mport.-The
West Coast Trade.
We cannot see where the insult
comes in. If it is an insult to pro-
tect consumers from the rascally
knaves who palm off edibles that de-
stroy health and life, then it is a
good idea for an occasional insult to
be forwarded to congress. If goods
were sold for what they really are
there would be no outcry.
