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 an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tubes. When
this tube is inflamed 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 it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

with the Committee.
Methodist papers have widely published
an appeal by w. G. Calderwood to the
leaders of the Epworth League to make
kill the Saloon" the central theme of the
1908 International Convention. He urges
that we approach the subject fearing
nothing but consent, under any guise, to
the saloons further existence"
At three of four county conventions at
tended by this writer just before the state
convention the hall was not comfortably
warm at the opening hour. A reform
ought not to be loaded with such burdens.
OF course it is the janitor's duty to attend
to the heating, but some live Prohibitionist
at such place ought always to be sure he
has done his duty.
The patrolmen of the 37th station N. Y.
city, agreed that they would arrest viola
tors of the Sunday liquor law regardless
of the attitude of their captain. Their ex-
ample was followed by the patrolmen of
another precinct. Mayor Low, while he
has not ordered Sunday closing, says no Of
fcer will be allowed to suffer by his admin
istration for doing his duty There is
music ahead.
Secretary Calderwood says: "In the
way of a most friendly rivalry, in which
Minnesota will cheer Justify for any state
which outdoes her. we will throw down the
gauntlet to all corners to show equal &C
tivity in the Prohibition fight for 1902 as
measured by meetings held, literature dis
tributed, Prohibition papers circulated or
money actually expended in the work, in
proportion to the vote at the last election
At it's next meeting the State Executive
Committee will consider the expediency of
arranging with the cooperation Of the
several Congressional District committees,
for big convention, rally and school Of
methods in each district in May or June.
They may occupy two days each and will
be addressed by able speakers, the best in
