MILLER WON'T GET BACK PAY,
Controller TraceWelI Rules He Cannot
Collect for Time of Suspension.

washington. D. c., Oct. 27.-Control-
Ter of the Treasury Tracewell. has de-
cided that W. A Miller assistant fore
man of the bindery department in the
government printing office, is not en-
titled to compensation for the sixty
three days Of his suspension and dis
missal from his position.
Miller took an appeal from the &C.
ton of the auditor for the state and
other departments, who disallowed the
claim. Tracewell affirms the auditor
decision. Miller maintained that he
was a government officer, protected
by civil service rules and was entitl
ed to compensation because his re
instatement by order Of the president
was a reputation of the action Of the
public printer.
According to the controller Miller
is not public officer, but an employe
who can be appointed or dismissed al
the public printers pleasure. He
holds that the power of appointment
carries with it the power of removal
and that pay cannot be allowed fol-
work not performed, even if suspension
or dismissal should be found to be
without sufficient cause

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out aud this
tube restored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous ser
vices.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

ANN'S AGE FOUND.
To Save Public Loss of Gray Matter
the Statesman Solves Problem.

Merely because it is being heralded
as an extremely difficult problem, a
lot of people are vexing their brains
over the respective ages Of the ia
nous sisters Mary and Ann.
AS a matter of fact, the sisters have
never worried over the problem and
there is small necessity for other peo
pie to bother about it.
The problem is thus stated:
Mary is "a years old.
She is twice as old as Ann was
when Mary was as old as Ann is now.
How old is Ann?
The proposition is susceptible of de
monstration by several methods, but
algebra affords as clear a solution as
any 1t is here given in order to pre-
vent Statesman readers from becom-
ing entangled in uselessly prolonged
and vexatious discussions.
Let equal AIMS age.
The difference between the ages
Of the two girls is a constant quanti-
ty.
The difference is now represented
by the expression '24 minus X.
But Mary is now twice as old as
Ann was when Mary was as old as
Ann is now.
That is, Ann was y years old when
Mary was OK years Old So that the
difference in their ages at that time
would be represented by the express
sion * minutes -"
Equating these two expressions we
have:
"a minus equals minus 12
Solving this by the well-known
method, it is found that Ok equals SO
or equals IS, which is AIMS age.
Thus when Mary was IS, Ann was II
or just half as old as Mary is now.

higher and oats were up 1-Sc. Provi-
slons ruled easier, and the May prod
ucts closed from sc to 10c lower.
The early wheat market was a dis
appointment to the bulls, in view of the
strong cables and small receipts in the
Northwest. The opening prices were
easier, with May a shade higher to Is
Q1-4c lower, at II 1-4c to Y 1-2c the
weakness at the start being attributed
10 the lack of confirmation of the Eu-
ropean war news circulating among
traders late yesterday, resulting from
a decline In English consols. There was
little of interest in the trading the first
half or the session, and the market held
stady, fluctuations being confined
within narrow limit, May selling be-
tween II 1-8@77 lac and II 1-2c,

fa1r export demand caused a better

nand from commission houses deyeI-

Corn Helped by Wheat.
Corn was firm early on continued
light receipts, and provision people
again bought freely of July. There
was also some demand for May from
commission houses, chiefly in the way
OF covering of short sales. Local longs
ulsposed of part of their holdings, and
the market reacted, but another ad-
vance occurred late in the day on the
strength In wheat. The close was

with none of contract grade.
oats We're in good demand at the
start, with shorts the best buyers Lo-
cal traders also favored the buying
side With the consequent rise in
prices, longs hquidated quite freely
and decline followed. The late firm
ness in other grains helped oats, and
