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 constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness II
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube re, tered to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever

JAPANESE INSURE THEMSELVES.
New Laws Drive Foreign Companies
from Mikado's Isles.

from Mikado's Isles.
Following the example of Germany,
the Japanese government within the
last year issued regulations for the
foreign life insurance companies hav-
ing agencies in Japan, that threaten
to drive all but the largest concerns
away, says the Kansas City Star. The
Emperor Of Germany was so exacting
in his demands that all the American
companies Withdrew after many
months of fruitless negotiations.
The Japanese government stopped
short of the extreme point of the Ger
man contention, but the obligation to
deposit a guaranty fund of 100000
yens $50, 1000 before beginning opera
lions and, in the case Of life-insurance
companies, to deposit a further sum
equivalent to the annual reserve set
aside by each company, for the benefit
and protection of policyholders, has
seemed onerous enough.
The German Emperor did not pro-
pose to have the fatherlanl drained Of
money to profit the companies deposit
ing and investing it in America and
enriching the New York money mar
ket, wherefore the mailed fist fell per-
manently upon those great financial
concerns and they left Germany.
The Japanese government observed
many things while its hands were tied
by the old treaties and has been slow
to reach out for the foreign insurance
companies. 1t will let the alien con.
Germs remain, but they must become
virtually Japanese companies and al
the guaranty funds and investments
are required to be put in japanese
bonds of specified issues.
Having had a free hand all along
and large and increasing business
the foreign insurance agents strained
every nerve since the government or
der was issued last June to have The
terms modified in some way. The off
Gals remaining obdurate, all the com
panies are preparing to close up thei
affairs here. Existing policies will b.
continued and premiums on them col
lected and settlements made at de
cease, expiration, etc, but otherwis
the American life insurance companie
have no future business in Japan.

Here is little story they are telling
on Maine professional man who &C.
casionally delivers interesting lectures
at intitutes and grange meetings. One
day he came across a farmer feeding
his hogs, and he thus accosted him:
"What are you feeding to those
hogs, my friend?'
Corn" replied the grizzled farmer,
who knew the learned gentleman by
sight.
"Are you feeding it wet or dry?"
"Dry."
Don't you know if you feed it wet
the hogs can digest it in one-half the
timer"
The farmer gave him a quizzical
look.
"Now, see here, DOCTOR" he said,
show much do you calculate a hogs
time is worth?"
