the transmission of new sounds, uniting
with and confusing the same, causing
much annoyance during the day and often
preventing sleep at night. These head
noises are what doctors call "tinnitus
aurium." They may resemble the buzzing
of bees; the humming Of Insects; the roar
ing OF the sea or of waterfall; the
cracking and roaring of a wood fire; the
singing of a tea-kettle; the hiss Of a SER
pent, a gocs,, or of escaping steam; the
rumbling OF machinery: the murmur of
running water; the tinkiing or ringing of

cooling of doves; the sowing of the wind,
and many other forms of sound. The ever
lasting diabolic pandemonium of rioto IS,
fraginentary, and discordant sounds proves
so distrac;ing to some as to drive them
insane. At best the impairment of hear
ing, due to used sounds that can find no
vent and must wear themselves out, robs
one of many of the joys of life: exposes
to danger the approach Of which is not
heard; interferes with capacity for use
fulness: limits ability to transact busi-
ness and earn a living. Many annually
abandon their plans, ambitions, and hopes
on account of loss of hearing.
Ninety per cent OF all cases of deafness.
and nearly every case that is accompanied
by head noises, are due to catarrh Of the
euStacnian tunes. 1nese tubes are small
and little swelling or thickening of their
lining membrane, due 10 catarrh, is suf-
ficient to so diminish their calibre as to
shut off the natural vent for used sound.
Owing to the difficulty in blowing, sucking,
or hawking out the mucu: secretion or
catarrhal matter it may OF itself interfere
with the exit of used sounds without much
thickening of the mucous membrane lin
ing the tubes. Closure may be of both
tubes or only one, in which case there
may lie head noises in only one ear and
the hardness of hearing may be quite
overlooked, as the unaffected ear serves
to fully appreciate sounds. Closure may
be complete or only partial, the head
noises and hardness OF hearing being
usually in proportion to the degree Of OBJ
struction.
Deafness and head noises being due to
catarrh, it follows that what Will cure
the catarrh and give vent to the impris-

TAX PAID ON WRONG PROPERTY
Assessor Recommends That Request
for Cancellation Re Denied.


H. II. Darneille. the District Assessor.
has reported to the Commissioners gen.
eral mix up in regard to the taxes on sub
lot -, square SOS. This square is bounded
by Fourth and Fifth, II and l Streets
northeast
C. B. Rheem. treasurer of the B. H.
Warner Co., applied for the cancellation
of the tax for 1900 on the lot. claiming
from the Office of the Assessor, upon
which the unpaid taxes for that year were
not entered. He said that on the strength
of this certificate loan was made on the
property.
The Assessor reports that when the
certificate was issued, June 80. 1900, 1t
was assessed to Arthur B. Smith, and the
account showed that the tax was paid.
Later it transpired that Mr.. Lester 4.
Barr had paid the tax on the lot through
inadvertence. intending to pay on lot 81
instead of lot -. The amount was refund
ed and the account adjusted on the books
OF the office.
Mr.. Darneille says that the City Soli
citor has always held that is such cases
where loan was made on the faith of a
tax certificate, the doctrine of the inno-
cent purchaser would apply. But Mr..
Darneille calls attention to the fact that
the lean was made on the testimony of
the applicant three days before the issue
Of the tax certificate, and therefore he
holds that the Solicitors Interpretation
of the law cannot be made to apply to
the case. MIR. Da-neille recommends that
the application be not granted.

RECORD OF TYPHOID CASES.
Bill Drafted by Health Depar artmcni
to BE Urged Before Congress-.

DR.. William C. Woodward, the District
Health Officer, has forwarded to the Com
missioners the draft of bill requiring
the reporting of cases of typhoid fever
to the Health Department by the attend
ing physicians. The bill is the same as
that introduced in the last Congress and
which failed of passage.
In letter to the Commissioners, DR..
Woodward states that the bill is not in
tended to quarantine patients suffering
from typhoid fever, as is done in cases
of diphtheria and scarlet fever; neither
does it require the placarding of the
houses. DR.. Woodward says that the sole
purpose of the measure is to secure in
formation as to such cases of this malady
as occur from time to time SO as to en-
able it TO ascertain, II possible, the
source OF infection and to remove the
same.
The bill, in brief, requires attending
physicians to report the cases of typhoid
fever as soon as they have knowledge
concerning them. 1t provides certain
penalties for neglect in reporting the
cases, similar to those governing the
reporting OF other contagious diseases.
Dr. Woodward asks the Commissioners to
report II to the committees of Congress
and to ask Its passage.

The ear consists Of three parts; the ex-
ternal ear; the tympanum or middle ear.
and the labyrinth or internal ear.
By the external ear we mean the
pima" or tissue that projects on each
side of the head to assist or gather sound
waves and the auditory canal or tube
through which they are conducted to the
ear drum -,
The ear drum is the membranous par
tition that,separates the external from the
middle car.
The middle ear or "tympanum" starts
from the inner side of the ear drum and
extends to the internal ear. The middle
ear contains three movable bones, the
'malIeus" or hammer, the ''incus" or an
vii, the "stapes" or stirrup, which form
a chain across the middle ear and connect
with the internal ear. The 'eustachian
tube leads from the pharynx or back
part of the throat upward to the middle
ear, allowing air to enter and used sounds
to escape from that cavity.
The internal ear or Labyrinth" consists
of the 'tvestibule," the 'semi-circular
canals" the '.cohea," and flaments OF the
auditory nerve.
Sound is carried through the ear in
the form of waves. These waves of sound
are gathered by the external ear and pass
through the auditory canal. striking the
ear drum, which vibrateS. These vibra-
tions pass along the chain of movable
bones through the middle ear to the in
ternal ear, where they are taken up by
the filaments OF the auditory nerve and
carried to the brain. So we really hear
with the brain; the ear only gathers and
transmits the sound.
After sound vibrations have reached
the brain they. like the water which has
passed a mill wheel, should get out OF
the way and make room for more This
they should do through the escape pipe or
"eustachian tube" If waller below the
mill be backed up on the wheel it
ceases to perform its function properly.
If used sound waves be blocked and
imprisoned they vibrate back and forth
through the caverns of the ear, being
broken and subdiyided until they have
little meaning, are, In fact. Tut a confused
commingling of fractional sounds known as
head noises that greatly interfere with
The Washington times., 1902-01-07

oned sound waves will rectify these
troubles.
1t is difficult to get local remedy into
the eustachian tubes, therefore such
treatment is practically not to be con-
sidered. How can we get an ointment,
powder. spray, or even a vapor where air
won't go? II air circulated in these parts
freely one wouldn't have head noises and
deafness. The only way to successfully
treat catarrh of the eustachian tubes is
with an internal remedy, that through the
blood will search out and cure catarrh in
any nook or corner Of the body. That
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets do this is abund-
antly attested by thousands who have no
possible interest in their sale, people who
have experienced benefit from their use
and believe others should know Of the
merits of the remedy.
Mr.. F. Mitchell Hawes. the celebrated
baritone. in personal letter to a friend,
said: Il am going back to my beloved
profession next month. This will surprise
you, know. for when / last saw you I
never expected to sing again, but I am
entirely cured of my catarrh, and my hear
ing is now as acute as ever. I used
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and in three
weeks they had done for me more than all
the specialists, to whom paid thousands
of dollars, and now ! am entirely WELL

personal attention to my customers, and
in consequence many of them went else
where. l was in despair, for specialists
seemed powerless to help me. Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets cured me in just little
while SO completely that 1 now hear as
well as ever"
Army Surgeon c. s. Beverly became so
decf from catarrh that he was forced to
resign his position and abandon his pro-
fession. He says: ..Of course. my inher-
ent professional prejudice was hard to
overcome, but, knowing the great benefit
you had received. my dear general.
through the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. used them. The great relief ex-
perienced was truly astonishing. / am
now entirely cured and go back to my old
post next month"

DIRT ON BRooKLAND STREET.
Complaint Reported rs Trivial nnt
Condition Irremediable.

The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from Charles A. HaTbaugh, sec
retary of the Brookland Citizens Associa-
tion, communication complaining
against the condition Of the sidewalk for
half square on Twelfth Street, between
Lansing and Providence Streets.
The mater was made the subject of
special report by Morris Hacker, Super
intendent of Roads He states that the
washing of dirt on this sidewalk is in
evitable from the conditions existing, un-
til such time as Detroit Street is graded
and the banks south OF it are leveled and
sodded.
Mr.. Hacker designates the wash upon
the sidewalk as trivial, but to keep peace
in the municipal family Mr.. Hacker states
that he has made use of the road repair
ing7orces to remedy the existing con-
ditiors as much as possible by cleaning
the walk.

Words "Brnnch POstOn,ce" Cannot
BE Placed on an Awning.
The District Commissioners have re-
ceived from r. c. NJ. Burton, of 91i E
Street northwest, request that he be
allowed to letter certain awning flaps
with the words Branch PostofIice," in ad-
dition to the name of the place of busi-
ness and the number.
Snowden Ashford, the Inspector Of
buildings, in reporting upon the matter
states that the granting of the request
would be contrary to the, practice OF the
Office, and he calls attention to the fact
that the former Engineer Commissioner,
Captain Beach, ruled that the words des
ignated. as well as those of 'Justice of
the Peace could not be allowed to be
placed on the awnings.
Capt Chester Harding has forwarded
the report to the Engineer Commissioner
with the recommendation that the appli-
cant be informed in accordance with the
