convenience.

In is STATED that "a movement has
been launched in the Department Of
Commerce aud Labor which, the immi-
grafton authorities assert, If the plan
proposed is enacted into law by Congress,
will result in improving industrial con-
ditions in the South and partly in sOlv-
ing the negro problem. 1t is proposed
to divert the tide of immigration toward
the Southern States, infusing new blood
into their industrial and agricultural life.
and at the same time relieving New
York and other large cities of the con-
gestion of population which is becoming
more acute year by year." If infusing
"new blood into the South means the
sending here of the undesirable immi-
grants whom the North wishes to be rid
Of then the movement should be dis
couraged AT once. 1t is feared that those
agitating these matters wish more to
relieve the large cities In the North oil
the congestion of population than to aid
the industrial and agricultural life
in the South. Let us hope, however,
that this is not the case. As stated yes
terday the State board of agriculture
which was in session 10 Richmond Tues
day night met a number of representa-
tives of Southern Railway lines and dis
cussed ways and means Of bring into the
South fair proportion Of the most de-
sirable immigrants to this country from
the Old World. The concensus OF
opinion seemed to be in favor of secur-
ing immigrants from among those already
established in America, rather than by
bringing in aliens by the shipload, even
If the latter plan were feasible, which
does not seem to be the case. The Vir-
ginis board took sensible view Of the
matter.

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 con-
st;tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 inhamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.
