iMPACTED EAR WAX.
Where 1t Comes From and How II
Should Be Treated 80

Where 1T Comes From and How 1t
Should Be Treated. -
The normal secretion of the orifice
of, the ear is the product of glands
situated in the outer half of the canal
only. This secretion-the cerumen, or
ear wax-is slowly poured from the
gland ducts as thin, yellowish liquid.
As it, quickly loses large amount Of
its watery elements by evaporation
and becomes admixed with dust it
forms thin layer, waxlike in color
and consistency, which normally COW
ers only the outer portion Of the canal,
that in which the glands are located. r
This layer of material probably has
Its chief function, in common with the
few small hairs in the same location,
in protecting the vibratory membrane
the drum-from the contact Of dust.
It is interesting to observe that the
exit of this layer Of wax is accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
Of the motion communicated to the
ear canal by the movement of the jaw
in chewing and talking, motion read
lily felt by touching the orifice with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant increase of the secretion
is therefore provided with CORE
spending loss, which takes place almost
as imperceptibly as the constant loss
Of the superficial layer Of the skin from
the surface Of the body. :.s:
This explanation serves to make
clear why the use Of ear spoons, pins
or hairpins is unnecessary. The use
of such objects is not only superfu-
GUS, but it is often the, cause of the
very condition which those who use
them would prevent
Even too vigorous washing with a
twisted cloth or sponge, for example,
into the canal until a mass sufficient
to block the entire opening is accumu-
lated.
The first tintimation of the presence
Of impacted wax is often the sudden
occurrence of considerable degree OF
deafness. This is most likely to hap
pen on damp day or just after or dur
ing bath. A slight amount Of pois
ture causes the mass to swell so that
the narrow chink previously existing
between the mass and the canal IL
closed. If it is not now removed, the
mass may shrink and the hearing pow
er be temporarily restored, only to be
lost again when conditions arise caus
ing an increase in the size of the mass
Firm, gentle Swinging with warn
water from piston ear syringe is usu
ally regarded as the safest and best
method of removing the mass, the
handling of which had better be in
trusted to a physician or trained nurse

increase N VALUATION.
About Million and Half Added to
the Valuation of Railroads in
the State.
Total valuationWill be Nearly SIC, ,ooo,.
ooo-Board Working on Other
Property.

Under the new valuation fixed by the
state board of equalization the total
valuation of railroad property in the
state for purposes of taxation will be
about $20,OO0,00O. Last year the total
valuation was about $1S,OOO,OOO. With
the increase of 81 900 mile made on
the main lines of the several roads.
there will be an added valuation of
nearly million and a half of dollars,
the total main line mileage being near
ly 1900. In addition to this there
is the natural increase caused by the
additional branch lines built in the
state.
The state board this morning decided
to assess express companies on the
same basis at last year. The assess
ment Of telegraph companies was
then taken up. Superintendent l. Nc
Michael of the Western Union company
appeared before the board and made an
argument for reduction in valuation
He stated that the present valuation of
S110 mile was more than the original
cost Of the telegraph lines, which was
about $95, to say nothing of deprecia-
ton in value The matter of the tax
alton of the franchises. he held, was a
serious legal question, and he thought
that, amendment to the state constitu-
ton providing for the taxation of the
franchise was not in accord with the
constitution of the United States
which granted a franchise to the com
pany before the admission of North
Dakota and that in being admitted, the
state had accepted the franchise with
all the then existing conditions. The
matter is one that will probably have
to be settled in court. and the state
board will probably stand upon the
section of the state constitution which
declares for the taxation of franchises
Judge Cochrane of Grand Forks ad-
dressed the board this afternoon on the
taxation of elevator ompanies. Auditor
Weinrich of Morton county was among
those desiring to appear on the subject
of land taxation. The board SO fal
has taken no final action on the assess.
ment Of telegraph companies.

Subjects to Be Considered by the Cath

OllC FeQeFatlOn.
Chicago, Aug. 7.-Routine business
occupied the time of the morning ses-
sion of the convention of the American
Federation of the Catholic Societies.
The convention went into executive
session, heard reports of committees
on credentials and appointed other
committees.
. Delegates are largely taken up with
questions of grave church and civic
relations and say they will introduce
number of resolutions of public mo-
ment. The question of alleged discrim.
ination against the Catholic Indian
missions is to be discussed, probably
at the same time that the convention
gives consideration to the question Of
the Spanish friars in the Philippines.
Delegates also have been instructed
to seek to formulate policy for Cath
olic education. Some of the members
OF the convention favor working for a
pro rata sharing of public school funds
to be used for the parochial schools.
