SALT LAKE BANKS
CHARGE For CHECKS.


In the future local banking firms
which are members of the clearing.
house will charge depositors and 9th,
ers for checkbooks which heretofore
have been furnished free. says the
Salt Lake Tribune. The minimum
charge is 10 cents for which a book of
rs checks will be furnished.
The decision to charge for the books
was reached by the executive commit
tee of the Salt Lake clearinghouse on
the 22nd of January and became eff
~fective yesterday. The banks have de.
cided that customers are as well able
to stand the expense Of the books as
the institutions. The expense of any
Autograph or other fancy work that
may be desired will also be borne by
the customers:
The system is said 10 be perfectly
satisfactory to the banking houses.
With a number of customers, however,
1t has not been received with the warm.
est enthusiasm. A vigorous protest
has been raised by certain firms which
transact large checking business.

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 IN intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed 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
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever: nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF
the mucous services.
