There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies, Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucus lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rum
bling sound or perfected hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube res
tored to its normal condition, hearino
will be DESTROYED forever; nine cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.

The great problem Of the desperate

buildings in Hoboken and a number of
the finest steamships in the world and
thus prevent a repetition of the horrors
accompanying the great waterfront fire
in Hoboken in 1900 On one of these
boats were 1000 steerage passengers.
But the fremen won after fighting
the flames all night. Five magnificent
piers had gone up in smoke and nothing
but their ashes remained, but the flames
had been conquered, and there was no
longer danger of the fire spreading.
There were many thrilling rescues-so
many that they cannot be all recounted,
but thousands of people who watched
the fight will testify to the heroism of
the men who fought the flames ashore
and ahoat.

Decoration Day was periodically OBJ

Every Grand Army Post paradea either
afoot or in open coupes, and reyerently
placed flowers on the graves of all their
dead comrades in the local cemeteries.
The exercises yesterday afternoon by
3. Van Houten Post in front of the City
Hall and in Bay View Cemetery, where
the Post was met and saluted by the
Roosevelt cadets, were witnessed by adj
miring throngs, Prosecutor Speer deliv-
cred an interesting and patriotic oration
in Bay View Cemetery.
The George H. Thomas Post, assisted
by the Arion Singing Society decorated
the graves of comrades buried in Wee
hawken and Flower Hill cemeteries.
Encampment No. 81, of the Uniont
Veteran Legion, paraded through the
third ward and marched to the Jersey
City Cemetery, where it strewed the
graves of comrades buried there with
flowers. Afterward the veterans enjoyed
a dinner at headquarters prepared by
Lincoln Circle, Ladies of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
One of the most interesting parades
was that of abriskie Post. In open
coupes the veterans of the Post paraded
the Hill section and decorated graves in

Almost all the entire pier system of

of New York finally emerged as conquer
ors. but not until over three millions of
dollars worth of valuable property had
been laid in ashes.
The great lesson is that Jersey City
and Hoboken must have fire boats for
the protection of its water front from
fire. There has not been a big fire on
the water front in years that the local
fighters with splendid apparatus have
not found themselves baffled in crossing
railroad yards with midles of freight cars
shutting them and their apparatus off
from points of vantage. Hudson had al
ways to depend upon New York in all
water front fires on this side of the river.
But it takes time for the New York fire
boats to reach this side and many valu-
able moments are lost. The time spent
In measuring red take alone is far more
