Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot 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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (cured by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The Census.

The figures of the State census have
not been officially given out, but the
actual figures have been published The
State enumeration shows II ,3O5 less than
the Federal.
The loss of more than 10000 in the
counties is greater than was anticipated,
and means Encouragement of the represen-
tation in the Legislature of several
counties Dorchester county, it is said,
will be the only one entitled to an additio
nal representative, the increase over the
Federal figures being about 800.
The heaviest losses occur in ST. Mary's,
Anne Arundel, Charles and Baltimore
counties. The discrepancy in Anne
Arundel is more than 5000, in St. Mary's
about 200, in Baltimore about 500 and
in Charles about I, 200.
Both Kent and this county are 1000
short of the Federal figures. Caroline,
Queen Anne's, St. Mary's, Wicomico,
Dorchester and Hartford each made slight
gains.
The increase in the Baltimore city fig
ures is accounted for by the fact that at
the time of the Federal census hundreds
of people were away on vacation, and
other hundreds were in Anne Arundel
county picking berries. The falling off
in Charles, st. Mary's and Anne Arundel
was anticipated by the developments in
the census fraud trials, but the lapse in
the Kent county figures was surprise
and may lead to further investigations by
the Federal authorities.
The figures for the State, city included.

have of late been utilized for the grow
ing of violets. The industry Is spread

cessful growers are women. They
employ small negro boys to carry on

greater part of the yield Is taken by
Philadelphia dealers. The great vio-
