loss Of hearing.
In nearly every case Of partial or complete deaf
ness there Is another feature that to many is
more troublesome than the difficulty Of hearing
the distraeting head noises. These make such an
impression on some as to almost drive them in
sane. The everlasting buzzing, ringing, Swapping,
rumble or roar. distracts them by day and pre-
vents rest at night.
Nine cases out of ten Of head noises and pro-
gressive hardness Of hearing due to catarrh Of
the middle ear or Of the tube leading from 1t to
the throat.
1t should be understood and constantly borne in
mind that to restore the hearing and silence the
distracting noises treatment is required that will

Beware of Uric Acid.
y Perfect Anti Uric Acid Diet.

The greatest scourge of modern civilization Is
eric acid, pronounced by French physician to be
the worst Of all poisons to which the human
family is exposed ChittendOn Of Yale and other
eminent chemists have shown that uric acid Is
derived largely from food, especially from beef
steak. 1t Is not found in milk or eggs or any
vegetable foods, but 1t Is present in great auauti
ties IN the juices Of flesh foods OF all sorts The
chief constituent Of animal extracts and broths
Is uric acid According TO late discoveries uric
acid produces apoplexy. rheumatism, Bright's dis
ease and premature old age through arterio sclero
sis, or hardening Of the arteries, which Is caused
by uric acid. These diseases are multiplying
among Americans because Of their excessive use
Of meat. People eat large quantities of meat
through habit, and also have been driven to 1t
by the gastric miserles resulting from the use Of
oatmeal, cracked wheat and other cereal mushes
The remedy Is to be found In the Of dextrinized
cereal foods, such zwiebach. The most perfect
Of all dextrinized foods, however, Is Toasted
Wheat Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey. This
is prepared by the Battle Greek SanItarium Food
Co. Each kernel Of wheat Is pressed into thin
crisp cooked and toasted flake of sweet, nutty
favor. II IS not only delicious to the TASTE but
Immediately and perfectly digestIble. Its contin-

The Real Ruler OF VIadivostOck.


Foreigners have to learn how to do busi-
ness in Siberia. First of all you respect
Russian customs. You take off your hat
on entering a store and remove overcoat
and overshoes before entering a house or
office. Religion and loyalty are synony-
nous terms with the Russian. If above
the common grade he Is stickler for for
mality. Society and government are both
bureaucratic. No matter what hour of the
day you make official call or call on a
high official you must wear your dress suit.
This rule is imperative. The official calling
hour is nine in the morning. Vladivostock
is nominally ruled by mayor and council
who are elected by the few hundred resi-
dents entitled to vote, but the city is real
ly dominated by Major General Tchitsha-
gof, governor of the maritime province of
Viadivostock, a soldier of fine record and
distinguished appearance, whose courtesy
/ hold in grateful recollection. / met him
the day after he assumed charge Of the dis
trict and he was kind enough to spare half
an hour from his official duties to talk of
Siberia and its prospects. Like all other
high officials with whom / came in contact
he is ambitious for the speedy development
of the country and believes that develop
ment will aid the commercial interests of
the United States.

TEMPORARY ORDER ISSUED.
Hearing I'm the Mutual Fire Insur-
ancc Case Continued.


Justice Bradley, in Circuit Court No. 2,
yesterday concluded the hearing in the
case of Jesse B. Wilson and others
against George T. bearing and others.
which is generally known as the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company injunction suit.
The arguments in behalf OF the COM
plainants were made by Attorneys Will
ton J. Lambert and Henry E. Davis,
while Attorneys r. Ross Perry and Sam
uel Maddox presented the side of the de-
PENDANTS.
The original bill in the cause was filed
a couple of weeks ago by the complain
ants, who alleged that they held over
$50 900 worth of insurance in the de-
PENDANT company, and that the present
board of managers, conspiring. it is said,
to put them out, had refused to accept
the annual premium due in December,
1900, for the year 1901. They prayed that
the court enjoin such action on the part
of the defendants and that the court
require the defendants to receive their
votes at the election for managers TO
take place on the 2ist inst.
Upon the filing of the bill Justice Brad
ley issued a temporary restraining order,
as prayed, and the question at pressnt
under consideration is the application to
make the temporary order final. Justice
Bradley took the case under considera-
ton, saying that he would render his
decision on Monday morning next.

CRUELTY THE CHARGE.
Mrs. Daisy Wolf Begins Another suit
for Divorce.

Daisy E. Wolfe yesterday filed suit
against her husband, Henry E. Wolfe, for
divorce on the grounds of cruelty and non
support. 1t is stated that the parties were
married in Baltimore in 1899, the COM
platnant being thirty-six and the defend
ant twenty-six years of age. 1t is also
stated that the defendant assaulted the
complainant, striking her so hard as TO
knock her down. Since her marriage, Mrs.
Wolfe declares, her husband has not con-
tributed an average of 81 per month to
her support.
In addition to asking for divorce, Mrs
Wolfe asks the court to restrain her hus-
band from interfering with her at her
residence, 917 II Street northwest. The
order asked for was issued by Justice
Hagner.
Some time ago Mrs. Wolfe instituted
proceedings for divorce against her hus-
band but withdrew the suit

CHICAGO, Jan. 1s.-Wheat opened
higher on the firm Liverpool cables and
lighter Northwestern receipts. The
strength was only momentary. however,
commission houses doing some heavy sell
ing which eventually proved to be li1ulda-
ton of a long line held by two prominent
houses which were instrumental in the
late advance. Prices declined 1-2c on
this selling. Shorts were about the only
buyers. Primary receipts were somewhat
smaller, but still larger than last year
Worlds shipments will be in the neigh
borhood of $500 600 bushels. Cash sales
here were about 100 600 bushels; Kansas
City reported $50, 600 bushels and the sea-
board 90 loads.
Corn was active and strong. The fea-
ture of the market was the buying by Gre
leading local professional which brought
about the advance. and the selling by
another at the best prices of the day
which gave the market an easier tone at
the close. Country acc 7ptances were light,
the cash demand here is poor.

The HyattsviIIe Census

EVANSVILLE, Md, Jan. 1S.-During
the last ten years over 40 new buildings
have been erected In this town and the as
sessable basis has increased nearly $780,
600. Despite this fact the census re-
turns just announced place the popula-
ton of Hyattsyille at 1.222, while in 1890
the returns showed 1,509. The difference
in the figures is found in the fact that in
1890 the enumerators divided their work
by the Baltimore and Washington Turn
pike. some of the town being thereby cut
off. while the entire population OF Chillum
and the surrounding country outside OF
Hyattsyille on the west was included in
the returns for Hyattsville. 1t is certain
that instead of 1909 in Hyattsville in 1850
there were scarcely 1000.

Support came into the market yester-

over the list, The early part of the scs-
sion was most depressing. with a steady
selling of stocks in small blocks and a
constant slow decline in prices. The low

showed an average decline of at least 5
points from the top level. It is difficult

as that of last week. showing very large
increase in cash. This was given as the
ostensible reason for the short covering
that occurred yesterday afternoon. One
of the bear arguments Of the morning was
the Venezuelan affair, and this fact shows
TO what lengths the bears are forced to
go for material. News yesterday was not
important. Mr.. Hill's denial that the
Great Northern has leased the st. Paul
was thfeshed over again, as was Mr..
Ryan's denial OF any Metropolitan lease
of the Manhattan. In both cases despite
the positiveness of denials there is
very strong idea that deals are in pro-
gress. Among the buyers iii the after
noon were the Standard Oil brokers, the
Keene brokers, and ii is understood, the
Morgan brokers.
The grangers were among the weakest
stocks on the list for the greater part of
the day Shortly before the close there
was excellent support OF the group which
caused them 10 rally sharply, st. Paul in

The steel securities were among the fea-
lures of the market. nearly all showing
good resistance to pressure during the
morning and advancing well in the af-
ternoon. Wire common stock, for instance,
got only as low as SO IL, and it closed at
the top price for the day, 40 is. Federal
Steel common advanced from a low of
&c Is to high Of As Is and it closed
with a good net gain at AZ 1-2. The news
in the steel trade contains the announce
msnt that the Steel and Wire Company has
just blown in its new blast furnace at
Cleveland. II is stated that there is likely
to be good advance in the price of steel
rails, but that this will not be fixed until
the ore prices are fixed. The Federal Steel
Company has taken absolutely no action
regarding any issue of bonds. but it is
said by friends of the company that the
thing is not impossible
Sugar was also strong yesterday It was
one of the few stocks that showed a good
net gain for the day. The highest and
