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 con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian 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 in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh.

Sherman started on his "March
to the Sea" from Atlanta and went
to Savannah. From there he went
to Columbia. From Columbia to
Fayetteville. His army was prac-
tically unopposed. 1t was formed
OF four army corps-marching on
separate roads-covering a breadth
Of anywhere between twenty and
fifty miles, as the roads ran. On
the TANKS of each corps were for
aging parties, who secured the
country. The army moved about
eight miles day.
Two or three Of these army corps
came to Fayetteville by conveying
roads, one 0: Two reached the Cape
Fear lower down; none crossed
higher up.
The Federal troops that visited
Southern Pines, if any, doubtless
came from Wadesboro, crossing
the Pee Dee at Stainbeck's Ferry,
being the extreme Western line.
On that flank Wheeler's cavalry
operated, like the Federal scouts,
in small detachments, running
from three to twenty men, often
without any officer. They justif-

Washington. Oct 15.-For nearly two hours

Cabinet at its regular meeting his forthcoming
message to Congress. Because of the absence
of Secretaries Hay. Gage and Root. all of whom
are expected to be here for the Cabinet meeting
Friday, nothing in detail was said by the
President about State, Treasury and War De-
partment affairs The President read to the
other five members present the first part of his
message. which at odd times In the last week
he has dictated to his executive clerk, William
Loeb. jr. His hearers to-day very much
pleased with what read to them. All that
is positively known about the recommendations
the complete document will contain is that IT
will strongly urge the establishment of new
Cabinet portfolio. that of Secretary of the De-
partment OF Commerce intended mainly TO re-
lieve the Treasury Department OF part OF its
enormous amount of work and responsibility.
and will also recommend the establishment un-
der government supervision of a system OF ir-
rigation for the reclamation of the arid and
semi-arid regions OF the West. On both of these
propositions the Presidents official advisers are
in accord with him. In fact, il is known that
every member OF the Cabinet is heartily in favor
of the establishment of the Department of Com
merce which was recommended in the last an
nual message or President AChlniey II - diSO

retary Wilson favor the irrigation project. and
that Secretary Hitchcock will dwell on It with

ances on the subject. II is understood that the
President will deal deliberately with reciprocity
and the rehabilitation of the merchant marine
through means suggested by the new Shipping
bill Senator Frye VIII introduce at early
stage Of the forthcoming session of Congress.
The President will deal cautiously but firmly
with the subject of reciprocity. urging its ear
nest consideration on the attention of the peo-
pie rather than for immediate action on the
part OF Congress.
He will also recommend increase In the
enlisted strength OF the navy. we'll as an in

navy, will be in the interest OF increasing the
efficiency OF the service. based a personal
knowledge OF the needs OF both. He viii par

cation and general efficiency be established for
promotion in the army than has heretofore pre-
